Even crazier when you consider what Taylor went on to achieve...

Jenkins was causing issues on the team ethics violations if I remember correctly. He had numerous chances and Cael takes it seriously no matter how good you are and told him to go.

Okay and what has Jenkins done since this win? Taylor still has has the better college career and and Olympic gold medal. Shut your mouth, fool.

@@roberthaldeman5935 "Numerous chances" Cael Sanderson wasn't even the HC at the start of the 2009-2010 season. How does a HC who comes in at the end of the that season give Bubba "multiple chances" and why does Bubba CHOOSE to transfer to AZ State? You Penn State fanboys never quit with your BS.

You can't help but to give Cael and Penn State their flowers. Love them or hate them Cael has created a dynasty in that program. Just like Gable did with Iowa.

Would’ve been 2 years later, he redshirted his freshman year, js 😂

@Joe Surge He pinned David Taylor for a national title... the fuck does he need Cael for

Only a freshman, Taylor went on to be an NCAA Champion, World Champion and Olympic gold medalist.

“Always let out get a cradle locked up.” What are you trying to say?

@@floridafan561 i fixed it brotha

How was Sanderson wrong? This post is bizarre and cringey

Tell me how Sanderson was wrong? When you don’t follow rules you get kicked off team. Plan and simple lol. And look what Taylor had accomplished after that lol

@@uturn9075 Yeah, look what he accomplished. 2nd place...

@@JHank-yb4jv Penn State fanboy, huh? Bubba beat the golden boy David Taylor wearing a Sun Devils singlet and Cael Sanderson can do no wrong. How about Cael showed up at Penn State in 2010, Bubba was already red shirting. Cael comes in, Bubba was still on the team, Cael favors David Taylor, Bubba bounces, then Taylor loses to Bubba? How about that? Yep. If it was about "team rules", why was Bubba on the team in 2010? Cael didn't start 2009-2010 as the head coach. Once Cael took over, did Bubba get booted? Nope. So, what are you talking about? What's cringey is you Penn State fanboys talking like you were there. You probably weren't even born in 2010. The version of events you believe, only allows your ridiculous hero worship to make sense in your own ridiculous mind. Let me read your mind, "Whatever, dude." Right?

@@chade1983 Not at all. You just post serious cringe

What weight ?

Taylor, is still listed as the best to ever don a Penn State singlet. Bubba Jenkins an ex Penn wrestler took cold advantage of Taylor becuz he took his fan base and campus celebrity status.

@@allencrockett-brown795 Ed Ruth was the best one wearing the PSU singlet while both were in college. Ruth is a 3x Natty champ

Myles Martin against Bo Nickel is probably my favorite one to watch.

What he went through? He was given numerous chances to correct his issues and chose not to.

Bro ever since I read this comment my whole thought about David Taylor and his “legacy” has changed…. Just wow, this should be talked about more!

Yes, this happens a lot. Parents will purposely hold a kid back so they graduate high school at 19, then redshirt at 20, and come into their freshman year turning 21. It was always though that the physical maturity of that one year would give them advantages throughout their careers. If you look back a lot of wrestlers of that era were older, like the Palmer brothers, for example.

Hey Andrew, thanks for the request! That's up here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g52qqrd4m7TSY4k.html

He pinned a freshman and a future NCAA Champion, future World Champion and Olympic gold medalist in David Taylor.

Bubba was the better wrestler at that and beat David consistently before this match.

@@demetriousgray2354 when? Taylor lost to Jenkins once that I know of. Taylor was also a Freshman and Jenkins was a senior. Taylor was a better overall wrestler than Jenkins. Yes Jenkins won fair and square. I will always give him credit for that. However if you take a step back and look at their wrestling careers there is no question that Taylor had a better career than Jenkins.

@@captainandcoke7085 Taylor was a freshman, but he was 21 years old here. He's no 18 year old kid.

If the crackdown fails initially or always just go for it?

Of course Taylor could beat him if they had wrestled again. Taylor was only a freshman and he got bigger, stronger and better than Jenkins. When he matured Taylor would become a World Champion and Olympic gold medalist.

Yeah I was looking at that , it was close but not there. don't know if the refs were even watching for that!

Please….Taylor was stuck for about 8 seconds - the pin zone is not just the two shoulder blades - old coach here - I thought Jenkins deserved the victory and kudos for him for going for it reversing direction with the cradle - I was there - watched it myself - Sanderson is a great coach, but even great coaches fail on some - they (Sanderson and his staff) failed Jenkins (I do not think it as the other way around) and it came back to bite them.

@@Charactermatters650 I don't know about "failed"...DT went on to win 2 titles, World Title, Olympic Title, and still going. They lost 1 match to Bubba. I'd take that trade any day, and from being around Bubba and DT both a fair bit in the past, I think DT was the better teammate on and off the mat. Much more dedicated. BJ had 1 good moment. Good for him. Cael & staff seem to be doing just fine.

@@unclerico7271 Got it - DT of course is an historically great wrestler on our stage and the world stage. The “failed” part had no real connection to DT I am aware of - it was meant for the fact that I feel they (the new PS staff at the time) failed Jenkins when he was theirs to coach. I may be missing some info here of course and maybe you can enlighten us on what efforts were made to invest in Jenkins when Cael and Co. came in to take over? Overall, Cael has been a fantastic coach at PS and I am a fan of theirs - just trying to look objectively at the Jenkins situation. I love that a coach came in to PA and showed that they could dominate college wrestling with largely PA/Jersey homegrown kids.

@@Charactermatters650 Well it depends on what you mean by "invested" in Jenkins I suppose... He was Uber talented and made a final in 08 or 09. But as a coach yourself you have experienced that kid/man that was very very talented, but his skills were hyper illuminated when he was under the lights. The "spotlight wrestler". 24/7 Attitude matters in a D1 room. DT, on the other hand, was a blue chip recruit that bought into Cael 100% and originally committed to Iowa State to wrestle for him. As a redshirt Taylor had his way w Bubba 75% of the time, was more committed (in staff's opinion), better in the classroom... all that nuance mattered to Cael. BJ won that match(ironically with a DT go-to technique), but PSU still won the team title, 40+ points ahead of ASU.... my point was, you said they failed w Bubba. I disagree, DT was beating him in the room in the short term, was a better teammate (at least in staff's opinion), better in the classroom, more committed (all subjective of course), but BJ had his moment, and it was epic. We just disagree on the "failed Jenkins" part of it. They also thought long term. They're still mat side w DT at W&O games while Bubba is kinda fighting mma?? I think they made the right call, even if that was an historically embarrassing moment. But I appreciate your knowledge and contributions to the sport. Not sarcasm, I mean that sincerely brother.

It was 11 years ago

@@channel6943 lol ok thx

He lost to Kyle Dake in 2013 finals too. 2X NCAA champion 4X all American.

Nooooo way. This match was amazing for Bubba, but ya, DT is an Olympic gold medalist. He ended up just fine.

He wasn’t a true freshman

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

He was a redshirt freshman……….

Redshirt freshmen and they said bubba and him trained so bubba was ready and knew how Taylor wrestled so Arizona state probably prepared him for Taylor in the finals after he beat Jason Welch who wrestled kinda like Taylor sorta but no where as strong clean or dominant as David Taylor but Bubba was prepared for sure

You lied but what else is new lol

Stop

Clown.. an L is an L. Taylor is good in his own career, he was just too young and cocky to finish that season with a natty.

I doubt that. Bubba Jenkins made it to the finals twice. He wrestled 2 of the greatest college wrestlers of all time and beat one of them.

@@llman03 And he got lucky... you know it and I know it. Stop being a denier of the truth! ;)

Jenkins was defending all those DT shots easily and with no worries. Bubba Jenkins wins that year's title 9/10 times if they ran it back.
