David Taylor’s Boastful NLWC Claim Gains Wrestling Analyst’s Attention as Paris Olympics Stand 246 Days Away

Penn State University’s Magic Man David Taylor is one of the biggest wrestling prodigies in the world. The reigning Olympic gold medalist lately made a boastful claim about the Nittany Lions Wrestling Club (NLWC) and the Olympics. Interestingly, his words have now received the attention of a famed wrestling analyst’s attention as well.

Several NLWC wrestlers who now don the Team USA singlet have proven their mettle in multiple World Championships. In light of this, a recent social media post made by wrestling analyst Justin Basch reiterated the boastful words of David Taylor. In fact, Basch’s tweet comes just 246 days away from the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

NLWC wrestlers get a major Olympics boost once again

The NLWC wrestlers regularly dominate the NCAA Division 1 Wrestling and add more gold medals to Penn State’s coffers. The same effect is seen in global contests when legendary wrestlers like David Taylor triumph over all international competition. In fact, David Taylor recently mentioned in his podcast that the US can win almost all gold medals if they just send the NLWC team to Paris.

Justin Basch re-echoed Taylor’s words via a tweet that said, “How many Olympic Medals does the @NittanyLionWC win in the 2024 Olympics if they enter as a country? 57 Gilman, 65 Zain/Lee, 74 Nolf/Dake/Carter, 86 Taylor/Brooks, 97 Snyder, 125 Kerk.” 

Basch is a revered wrestling analyst known for his ‘Baschmania Podcast’ that covers wrestling events on all competitive levels. This adds another major boost to the NLWC wrestlers who are already dominating the Olympics. Interestingly, the NLWC also trains wrestlers who haven’t graduated from Penn State University.

The refurbishing of all champions under one umbrella

While the Nittany Lions typically make up the ranks of the NLWC, several other wrestlers are also part of the prestigious wrestling club. This list includes Cornell’s 4x World Champ Kyle Dake and the Ohio State University’s 3x World Champ Kyle Snyder. While these wrestlers have dazzling NCAA careers, their international careers have bloomed further under the NLWC.
