i saw jake wrestle at the jimmie open on saturday...you could tell he was a freshman...didn't impress me to say the least and i went in jacked to watch him because of the north dakota connection going to a d-1 program...still has time though...it isn't like he isn't going to get great coaching.
one of the more fun wrestlers i've watched at dickinson state was elijah simburger (not sure on spelling)...his moves were never intricate, but it seemed liked he was so strong he could really sink a move in.
not sure about any of his brothers, i guess i haven't seen them in person, but they're probably fun to watch too. maybe not the best ever, but i'd pay to watch elijah wrestle any day of the week.

Saylers: One title from Arlen in 1992 and one from Josh in 1999. TWO TOTAL.
Mellmers: Two from Eric in 1996 and 1997, Three from Marc 1999, 200, 2003, Four from Jake 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and one (currently) from Luke in 2006 (most likely to win another this year). TEN TOTAL.
The Sayler's aren't even the best wrestling family from Dickinson and not THE BEST wrestling family in NoDak. I'm not saying the Mellmer's are either, but 10 to 2 in state titles makes my case. And, I don't think saying a Mellmer couldn't beat a Sayler has anything to do with it.

i'll take my judging that none of the mellmers could beat any of the saylers and you can count state titles all day long for who is a better wrestling family...i certainly can't name how tough each class was in any given year, but i know that none of the mellmers would have stayed on the mat long with shane, who didn't win a state title. when i think about that, i kind of decide that state titles ring fairly hollow unless you follow wrestling a heck of a lot closer than i do.
personally i think the mellmers had very little technique, they normally were all in a weight class in which they were stronger than the majority of the kids they were wrestling. my two cents - could be wrong. but i think that, along with some other random reasons, are why none has panned out in college. maybe jake will prove me wrong, but it isn't like he'd be the first one in the family to go some place and blow it completely. and like quite a few athletes find out every year, it is a lot different being a high school athlete and being a college athlete.
if we are talking wrestling family, arlen went on to be pretty good for both ndsu and dsu, and none of the mellmers have done anything past high school other than go somewhere and not do much (again, jake certainly has time)...arlen and shane and josh have all coached at some point, while i don't believe the mellmers have. so by rights the saylers have had longer-reaching success and are the better wrestling family.

hands down, i would take the mellmers over anyone in the state anyday
