But weren't the Cornell guys starting at Juco? Arnold started at Iowa and is taking a year off at Juco then going back to Iowa.

Anyone see the match between Hodkins and Riza from Turkey? Dirty wrestler, about took Hodkins eye out. Mutiple eye pokes earlier in the match too.

Well, not sure if it was first match jitters, or what - but Hamiti lost 10-0 to the same guy that Simon Ruiz beat 7-6. That said, Mykhailov is a former Worlds Bronze medalist at 79 KG and was very competitive with medalists at 86 KG while trying to qualify at 86 KG - so perhaps that isn't such a bad loss (and maybe the Ruiz loss was bad for Mykhailov). Especially since Mykhailov beat Zahid Valencia 8-6 at the 2023 Moustafa ranking series event. I still want to see Hamiti at 86 KG and on the DT regimen for growth in to 86 KG. He has the frame for it. I also want to see Shapiro at 74 KG because he just looks too big for 65 KG at this point. Duke could add a little more and fill out to 74 KG and immediately impact our ladder - especially being in the same room as Monster Mitch, Haines, etc. I think Ross, with some size, could be terrifying... if he can beat Mirasola. I think a lot of folks are sleeping on Hopke. I think he's going to be one of our main contenders at 125 KG for 2028. He has kind of been on the back-burner since he committed and has taken some losses, but he is still in what is probably the best HWT room in the country (still).

Meh, are many people still really paying attention to her? If we’re speculating, I’d still tend to believe Beau. But Syd tying Beau’s accusations in with rape allegations, could be why other wrestlers didn’t want to speak out, since they’d have no way of knowing if those more serious allegations are true outside of an admission.

Geez, even when it’s spelled out for you, comprehending is still a major obstacle. Maybe you’re just a lost cause. I might have to add you to my prayers with Jimmy.

So you're saying that Pyle was correct?

Cornell has been doing it for years...

You don’t know what the word losing 40 million a year means do you.

It’s more than those two

Right after you work on your writing skills.

Do not contact means they don't want every school calling. Typically, at that point they have a good idea of where they want to go and reach out directly or let those coaches know that they want to be contacted.

She got wrestling fans to pay attention to her. Not sure she accomplished anything else. Seems like her personal attention seeking mission.

At the time this was posted, I don't think anyone knew what was being asked. I didn't mention, look at the size of my nuts on this guess, I was predicting the champ, not AA. You are really gonna like my call of Messenbrink for 165. 133 is wide open, I think Ragusin will be my dark horse there, not to win it but to AA. Not an Iowa fan, but I think Ayala wins it this year.

I mean, that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t true. And doesn’t mean it was either.

Has it been confirmed that Gabe Arnold's plan to stop his eligibility clock without a redshirt by enrolling in a junior college will work? If so, this is a revolutionary idea that should be used by all the top programs. Gotta give credit for ingenuity.

At 45, 48 and 71 they just came across superior wrestlers. They would have lost to them at any stage of the tournament. Maybe 1 or 2 of the upper weight guys choked.

Source on PSU board claims dolla sign and Beau tried to recruit wrestlers to back up her/their story and that effort failed badly, and that she is now deleting some of her posts. The whole thing seems to be unraveling.

He was just hired as an assistant coach w/ Bellarmine so that would be where Knights comes from

Bet—>better. (Have I ever mentioned you should work on your comprehension?)

Eh... maybe Wrestling less could help, but there's more concussions in Freestyle. I'm not sure what Shapiro's future looks like. He could definitely grow into a solid 163 or 74KG, but... I still like Duke with 3 years of PSU Wrestling and time to grow. He's so damn slick. One sleeper at 86KG is Sinclair. 3 more years of building his body up, he could be a great fit there. I like Hamiti a lot. I think he's a bit slicker than Mesenbrink, but life gets in the way for a lot of these guys. I'll also add, I don't know if Ross can do it in 3 years, but I think in 7 years, he is going to be a REAL threat. The kids are well on their way.

If that's the case and it isn't required, what is the point when people enter with "do not contact"?

Oh...I think you mistake me. I know about the suspension his final year at Auburn for Baseball. How he blamed TB for that(I'm not sure that was intentional, but he held a grudge). And I understand he only played 2/3rd of the games, but the question is was he really THAT great or is it more "what could have been." He had 9-10 games and they had Marcus Allen, but he wasn't really splitting carries, he was walking right in and getting 20 a game. But still, he had one year with more than 700 yards. He had like 550, 580, 950 and then 700 in 11 games. So again, it's a "what could have been." Nobody questions his athletic ability. His size, his size, his speed, he hit the hole as hard as a ***I have a limited vocabulary*** on prom night... though he got more than 3-4 pumps in before he was brought down. All of the stuff you're telling me is how great he COULD have been... BUT for these issues that held him back. I think it's clearly what could have been. But he never got there. OJ Simpson ran for 2000 yards in a 14 game schedule. Bo played 11 games a couple years and ran for 700 and topped out at 950. I posted a couple links... yes, he only played partial seasons...which makes you think, again, "what could have been." Even in Baseball, he was healthy through his age 27 season and he was never the best player on his team. Hell, he was never one of the 4-5 best players using WAR(which is the best and most comprehensive way to compare players). He was the most amazing, but... end of the day, 4 years, 8.3 WAR. Eric Davis played at the same time. His career through 27, he put up almost 3X the WAR He was a very poor defensive player(even for LF)... despite some incredible highlight caliber plays. For his career, he had a couple of good seasons, but even the All-Star nod was fan voting and less about how actual ability. I loved Bo. I was a very little kid when he played, but I learned how to read by reading the sports section. Actually a funny story, but in 3rd grade, my teachers thought I couldn't read. They wanted to hold me back. My Dad would buy me the history of Baseball, each seasons Baseball preview, Baseball Encyclopedia, the history of the Super Bowls and I'd spend hours reading them. But I guess I didn't pay attention or something. So I'm at this meeting and they call me in and they ask me to read the sports section and... well, I still remember when it was. The Milwaukee Brewers had let Paul Molitor leave to sign with the Toronto Blue Jays despite a last minute intervention by Brewers owner, and acting commissioner Bud Selig. The teacher was proven wrong, my Dad told me good job and I.... left the room with tears welling up(he was my favorite player)! I also read his auto biography. The one in which he talks about killing a pig with a rock or he talks about killing birds throwing rocks at them. I think he'd have been an all-time great, but he just.. never got there sadly. So, it's more of a "what could have been."

I'm pretty sure I know the play you're talking about. Was it vs Seattle? The one where he just ran into the tunnel? He didn't even look like he was running fast. And then you can see on the screen, Seattle had a CB who was one of the fastest in the league. I want to say it was Kenny Easley(SP?) but he was probably the greatest safety in NFL history, so I think I'd remember it was him.... but anyway, whoever it was, they had an angle on Bo. They were not on the playside, so they took off on an angle toward the ~10. It's been a while since I saw a breakdown of the play, but they highlighted this one dude because he was like a 4.35 40 guy and he had SUCH an easy angle on Bo. I mean, give most of us the right angle and we can get there. You have like 90 yards! The way Bo just out ran that guy and everyone else, he was gliding. Again, I wish he would have just played Football for 4-5 years, won a few MVPs and ran for 8-9K yards, then played Baseball for the next 15. The freak injury cost him a lot and he still had a lot of highlights, but... it really was more what he COULD have done. This is what this man did with NO training camp. You miss training camp now due to a holdout, nobody is counting on you to stay healthy. You're not in FB shape. He walked from the Baseball field, right to the Football field and the position you get beat up the most. He also didn't life weights. His legs were too strong. When he was tackled vs the Bengals, everyone else would have just gone down, but he was so strong, he injured his leg(I've seen trainers and others say that had he lifted and trained, he may have had stronger tendons and ligaments and he doesn't suffer that injury... but I haven't a clue if that's true). Still, I just think about what if. What if Tampa doesn't draft him after getting him suspended from Baseball? What if he starts his NFL career 2 years earlier and doesn't have a multi-year layoff? What if he JUST plays Football? In the end, his career...it was better, but his total numbers are similar to AJ Dillon's. That's just...not right! https://stathead.com/football/versus-finder.cgi?request=1&player_id1=JackBo00&player_id2=DillAJ00
