Speaking of trivializing what it’s like to live in crime infested cities, I’m sure you had no problem with this raid where an entire apartment building was detained and many including children were handcuffed/ziptied in the middle of the night because there happened to be some Tren de Aragua members there. https://abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chicago-federal-agents-surround-south-shore-apartment-building-dhs-requests-military-deployment-illinois/17908911/

not sure if its possible but if v-tech could get campbell back down to 125 I think that would be huge for them in 2026-2027

I don’t live In the suburbs. I live in a big blue city. You don’t live in a big blue city 1007355 doesn’t live in a big blue city. I don’t know if trip said where he lived or not so that’s a blank for me.

Funny that 99% of the idiots complaining about "rampant" drugs and gangs in cities live in the rich suburbs and rural areas. Truth is way more bizarre than fiction.

Oh, boy... I'm not gonna hear the end of it during the upcoming holidays! My older brother, a big Hokie wrestling fan, should be in seventh heaven over THIS news! D3

I’m trivializing crime infested cities by saying we shouldn’t murder people because we think they’re drug dealers?

He takes the cash, he gets the hate. Times have changed. Don’t make college wrestling a professional sport and then not expect criticism.

Payback for when Brands left.

Long term prognosis is bad. 1 month doesn't mean much. Gulf water is warmer than ever. -
Typically yes, and then theres contamination

Venezuela is a trash bag of a country. Gang ridden corrupt etc. with that said 35,000 or so people a year die from cocaine related deaths. Fentanyl is maybe double that but 35,000 is a lot. There are also Venezuelan gangs infiltrating many American cities causing all sorts of issues in Chicago New York and Colorado. Time and time again you trivialize what it’s like to live in crime infested blue cities from your elitist east coast suburban white privilege vantage point.

But why do all the politicians always specifically name fentanyl as the drug that’s killing so many Americans? (it’s because fentanyl IS the drug killing so many Americans)

Yeah Elahi sort of fell off but now he is doing well which is great to see. In saying that I think he gave PJ Duke his closest match at U20 worlds though, Duke won on criteria 2-2. He lost a close match to Rassadin as well it was 7-5 and Rassadin is pretty tough. I'm wondering why Khorramdel doesn't come down to 65kg anymore he would be a much better wrestler there imo unless the weight cut is too much for him now. He only moved up to 70kg last year because Iran's actual rep at 70kg was injured (I forgot his name).

It's awesome to see a team like VT land such big names. Nothing but positive for the sport.

Saturday afternoon could prove to be a pivotal moment for the Virginia Tech wrestling team. The Hokie staff received verbal commitments from two of the top prospects in the nation. The top junior in the nation, Melvin Miller, and his older brother Bo Bassett, the number two overall senior, both committed to wrestle at Virginia Tech. Bassett originally committed to Iowa, but reopened his recruiting over the summer. Since then, he visited Nebraska multiple times and Virginia Tech. He and Miller spent last week in Blacksburg. Miller is a two-time Pennsylvania AA state champion, with his most recent title coming at 160 lbs. This summer, Miller captured a Junior freestyle national championship in Fargo, marking his second title in that age group. He also won a 16U title in 2023. Miller also has won the Powerade and earned a belt at the Super 32 before he even wrestled a high school match. Last year, Miller earned a spot on the U17 world team and came up a match shy of earning a medal in the 71 kg weight class. Bassett has won PA AA state titles in both years he was eligible to compete at the tournament. Over the summer, Bassett also took home a stop sign after a Junior freestyle title in Fargo. Heading into his senior season, Bassett is aiming to earn his fourth title at the Super 32, the Ironman, and the Powerade. Both are slated to compete next weekend at FloWrestling’s Who’s #1 event. Miller will take on Maximus Dhabolt at the 165 lbs weight class. Bassett will square off with Jordyn Raney at 150 lbs. Raney was previously ranked #1 at 144 lbs. Bassett could step in for 2024 NCAA champion, Caleb Henson, next year at 149 lbs. Henson will use his final year of eligibility in 2025-26. While there are plenty of quality young wrestlers for the Hokies at that weight, Bassett might be able to unseat them. Miller might end up at 174 lbs by the time he hits Blacksburg. Miller is the first recruit from the Class of 2027 to commit to Tony Robie’s team. Bassett joins #17 Revin Dickman (IN), #37 Jonathan Rocha (CA), and #38 Alex Rozas (LA) in the Hokies Class of 2026. Once Miller signs with the Hokies, he’ll be only the second ever #1 recruit to ink with Virginia Tech. Cody Gardner did so back in 2007. We’ll have to see if these two commitments lead to more in the near future for Virginia Tech.

WiTh HiS tRaCk ReCorD... he changed his commitment once just like countless other recruits. Get over it. He's not a Ferrari that wrestled for three different high schools and just as many colleges. Robideau, Spratley, Vega, Jamison, Mesenbrink, Kerkvliet, Jayden James, Welsh, Nagao, and how many others aren't wrestling at their original commitment? It. Happens. All. The. Time. Bassett and Miller could have gone to literally any school in the country and chose VT. Will they spend their entire careers there? Who knows in today's NCAA landscape. But the non-stop hate this kid gets is just ridiculous.
-
Burton,Seidel,Bassett,Miller with a lot of growth potential in Ninninger,Gorman,Gaj all with likely 3 years together thats a GOOD team.
-
He’s splitting hairs like usual. Fentanyl typically does not involve Venezuela. It’s from Mexico/china. He neglected To say you named the wrong drug. Cocaine in large volume is Venezuela based. So is that gang trying to take over d cities. Tren de aragua.

It’s been nice, we definitely need a few years off here in SW Florida. Looking at conditions ahead I kinda like our chances. (Maybe shouldn’t have said that, don’t wanna bring bad juju) But we’re definitely not out of the woods yet. This is the time of year storms are more likely to pop up in the gulf of America and explode quickly, which everyone here in a 50 mile span has been hit pretty hard with over the last three years. Feeling good but staying on our toes. -
With his track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never makes it to Blacksburg at all
-
Why would they want to wrestler for lesser men?

White Conservatives are the biggest threat
