Who's the Mizzou wrestling GOAT? Or is it too early too tell?

I'm going with J'den because of what he's accomplished so early in his career.

Still Ben as of now because of the TWO Hodge Trophies, but another national title and J'den passes him I think. Olympic medal would also pass him.

There is also the factor of where the program was when each came. When Askren came, we were nobody. When J'den came, we had become established. So there is a bit of novelty to Askren putting the program on the map.

So the short answer is: Still Askren, for now. In 10 months, it will likely be J'den.

I'm going with Ben and I'm also gonna through out that they have a tougher conference road. With OSU and Iowa State. That gives him the edge but no doubt that 5th Tiger is right about what Ben has meant to the Wrestling program.
