Ben Askren reveals his TOP 10 scramblers in wrestling

[@pinstalker]

Ben, Would love to see a video that highlighted the 7-8 scramble techniques you keep mentioning in this video. I know about a couple but would like to see others. Great stuff as always.

[@jons7077]

I am glad your opinions have not disappeared from the wrestling landscape. Great Video, Big Ups!

[@kevinfarrell8570]

How about Darrion Caldwell? Spladeled metcalf than beat him again in ncaa finals with wild scrambles? All his matches were freaky and wild, always came out on top.

[@yesman3709]

Ben Askren was my favorite scrambler & was suspiciously omitted from your list.

[@robertbigelow6083]

Ben knows, it's why he was asked to make the list, not including gable S on that list is some nonsense, few heavyweights ever moved like him who's re attacks were half his scoring, the first half of Burroughs career, Zaurbek Sidakov, like Alex kruelin? Even strictly usa Dave Schultz, like so many people who did it at the highest levels Lopez, I'd put Spencer in there and Ferrari. Fix and Soriano, the scramble is going to be defensive more than offensive, the majority of scrambles are to get out get away while not giving up points and taking them if they're there, but that'd be the best reversals but I'd say scrambles happen out of defensive positions, you worry about scoring only after you've gotten yourself out of scoring, and re attacks are the most common forms of scramble, even ncaa I'm going Kary colate guys like that, even John Smith initiated a scrambles 1/2 the time he was going low single, it almost automatically led to someone who grabbed his leg so each guy has a leg and it's chess making your way to a dominate position to score points, they called Schultz the sly fox as a reason, the only world medalist I've seen move down a weight and earn world gold

[@notktm]

they need to put ya on youtube more. if i knew you had a channel i would’ve subscribed forever ago!

[@Marcnshae2011]

Great list! I like how you gave guys credit for not being too reliant on their scrambles as well!

[@SJ-gk2km]

The post I have asked for. Great list to go watch highlights.

[@joep5146]

Ben - your wrestling knowledge is elite as was your college wrestling career. When are you going to be a Division 1 head coach? Asking for a friend. ;-)

[@Davin-b1r]

I think he was saying he likes doing his own thing and just running his academy with his brother as he doesn’t have to deal with athletic departments and donors etc.

[@e2go]

When the Iowa job opens up😂🤣

[@adamkulam7368]

Thanks for the commentary, Ben. Hadn't considered the variations of scrambling positions before. If you want to produce differentiated video content, you should hire a video editor to give insert clips for each of the wrestlers as you're narrating their techniques. Your match memory is pretty good, too, so you wouldn't have to sit down and filter for the clip yourself. Just tell your editor "hey go find the Jesse Delgado v. Nashon Garrett final and pull up the leg passes." Would draw a lot more viewers to your channel! Thanks!

[@terryklender4209]

Totally agree with Nolf

[@rsnieland]

SOO glad you got Dylan Ness on that list. He was the very first guy that came to mind when I saw the title to the video, but I thought no way you'd have him! Yeah, he wasn't top-shelf talent, but you just never counted him out because of that scramble waiting to magically bust out from him. He was must-see every match. Few have that draw. He did.

[@frankiecal3186]

Wade Schalles

[@KurtRudy]

Jesse Delgado

[@charlesmacdonald9741]

Ben- I am sooo glad your videos made in ito my feed

[@jlstock_1]

Taylor scrambles vs Yazdani were epic and sealed the match

[@williamoleary9330]

Ben, you have earned my Subscription Great job, big fan🤙🏻

[@KrazyKnots]

How about V2 with some video showing us functionally why you pick them. Thx!

[@seanmead8325]

Any chance you could start taking the audio from these videos and releasing it in Podcast form? I like to listen while I drive or work out and that would be very convenient.

[@SJ-gk2km]

Kendal Cross in freestyle. Not sure about folkstyle. make an old school list. The few Randy Lewis clips I have seen look amazing.

[@Behaucarre]

bryce andonian is my favorite scrambler

[@giawoodell3996]

Great category, Rico Chiparelli, Champ from IOWA, never lost a scramble. Joe Woodell

[@DanDemuling]

Thought Mark Hall would make the list

[@YouTube_AMD]

Jordan Leen was a great scrambler that I feel doesn’t get enough credit, just in general

[@LincolnFrazee]

Great list

[@rt141]

Kyle Dake not make list is wild...2010 semis against Humphrey

[@richarderobinson]

Couldn't agree more, Nolf was my favorite college wrestler to watch ever. So creative

[@enzomma3284]

surprised to hear that yianni wasn't #1

[@thaohgee3694]

Same

[@BasicGestalt]

Nolf is an innovator

[@dinocollins720]

Thanks Ben!

[@John-qi9cj]

Yianni is one of the 🐐

[@jasonamato3377]

Kolat.

[@mikeb6826]

Ben! Ben he’s the man! He’ll win the team title at Iowa because Tom Can’t!

[@garyward8605]

j jaggers is my #1

[@jamescraig1343]

Wade schalles

[@dinocollins720]

Who are the wrestlers who are high level that are the worst scramblers???

[@RidgeWagner]

Ben what’s the go fund me number or demands Flo must adhere to. We need the band back together already. Life isn’t the same. YOU CANT DO THIS TO PEOPLE!

[@jeremiahrbarr]

Ben, we need you back on Flo!

[@nickandkeithstallions5106]

Chance marstellar

[@CashSitting]

Great video but please get a better microphone!

[@djp3525]

Kellen Russell???

[@Take_The_L_Beth]

Dylan Palacio! 😂

[@benaskren1614]

He sucks

[@JM-wf2to]

😂

[@joef3423]

Palacio was a great scrambler, probably in the top 20.

[@beckwrestling7753]

Sleeping on saitiev tho (unless u mean just the US)

[@TimM-wk1zx]

Bens back became tired from carrying CP and Flo for so long….Dont go back….they punished you too long with the likes of JD and the kid from Michigan. Flo should replace JD with a cardboard cutout of Bernie from Weekend At Bernie’s.

[@johnfraleee]

JD is better than those dorks Kozak, Bray, and Ollie. It should be Bader, CP and Ben. People would listen to that. Or bring Willie Saylor back. Kyle Bratke was awesome too

[@gino1876]

This video just confirmed that this guy doesn't have a clue of what he's talking about...Has he never heard of Funky Ben Askren?!

[@JM-wf2to]

Hearing chael sonnen mouth breathe for 50 minutes today made me reakize how shitty flo is gonna be without you.

[@derekhartman6577]

Just go back to flo Big Ben.

[@robindodd1969]

Put some visuals in your videos man nobody wants to watch somebody sit in a chair for 10+ minutes

[@beckwrestling7753]

Great list
