All Activity

I recently heard from a fairly reputable source that the UK surpassed the US in obesity rates. We are still leading in total numbers as well as in the morbidly obese numbers.

May want to rethink your name because Blaze is as elite as it gets for the great state of Ohio

You know what, you're right. I guess it just slipped my mind that he has gone a combined 1-4 at NCAAs. I was wrong and take back my comment about the NIL money rolling in.

I’ll bet they lose some weight while sick. Look on the bright side.

Folkstyle for me...

Also not how to MAHA - drinking raw milk https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/raw-milk-florida-farm-sickens-21-people-including-6-children-health-officials

Funny thing about that.. he qualified for NCAAs both years he was in the line-up.

I know him personally, and you are right. GREAT kid. He is the baby brother of two pretty damn good D2 wrestlers. Listen to this room I put together for a weekend. Brady, Zan Fugitt, Gage Walker, two D2 hammers, and my kid. Let me say this. Zan AA was not a shock to the dudes that know him. It will not be a shock when Brady AA, well not to us anyway.

I'm with you in that regard and my history says as much. However, how much NIL is a wrestler at a second or maybe even third tier B1G school paying someone who has never qualified for NCAAs much less brought home an AA? He has completed five years of school so I would assume undergrad has been completed. I'm in the camp of "if someone's not paying you for grad school then you are getting hustled" but the clock is ticking.

Interesting way off capping your NIL potential

Cool to see. Thanks for posting. Small guy had some moves. Nice snap and go behind.

I don't know him personally, just a fan of the Jackrabbit team. As tough as TJ was at 125 for SDSU it will be fun to watch Roark come in and compete.

I think he took him down (twice?) before the default.

Yep. He should start earning that Greco money and getting that greco coaching and support right away. There's no reason for him to go to a university that will pay him, pay his expenses, and pay for school while he trains.

Real fans of the sport agree

I have no choice but to also concur with Mr. Blaze.

When a new head coach is named they have 30 days to enter the portal.

Every year spent training for NCAAs directly conflicts with training for making the Greco team and bringing home a medal. He's already what, 23? He has five years of prime left so why waste 40% of that wrestling a style antithetical?

This is great analysis- thank you! Here's what I'm thinking...you can book it now! 57kg - I think DNP is a little hard on Knox. I think he takes BRONZE. I think Sakamoto (JPN) is the favorite and beats Knox H2H. Other Challengers: Aitanov (KAZ)- he wrestled Lilledahl tough at Cadets two different years. I haven't seen Ozdamirov (RUS) enough and I'm not ready to anoint Zangaladze (GEO) quite yet. 61kg - Blaze for GOLD. Besides Toktamotov (KRG), I think Begoyan (ARM) is toughest (and beat Saitiev at Euro U20). Khateri (IRI) is capable of medaling here too. 65kg - is TOUGH TOUGH! Stanich is BRONZE. I think Dhzandubaev (RUS) is the favorite, followed by Toprak (TUR), but I can also easily see Uulu (KRG - U17 World Champ who beat Jordyn Raney) or Ashwani (IND) finding their way to Gold- neither will be an easy out. Sleeper is Karimov (AZE) who is former U17 Euro Champ and beat Magomedov in a wild one. 70kg - As strong as 65kg is, 70kg is just as weak. Duke for GOLD. I think Elahi (IRI) will be his biggest test, and maybe Ito (JPN) who beat Melvin Miller at U17 last year. 74kg - This weight is also underwhelming to me. Lockett for GOLD. Khaniev (RUS), Wagin (GER - who I still can't get behind) and Mamivand (IRI) will be his stiffest tests but keep an eye out for Yamaguchi (JPN), a former U17 Silver medalist. 79kg - I don't think Henckel finds the podium DNP. Too many tough guys here- Yousefi (IRI) is the favorite. Begenjov (TRK) and Amit (IND) will also be factors. Sleepers are Omarov (AZE) and Tchetchelashvili (GEO). 86kg - McEnelly for SILVER. If he can avoid being turned in par terre, he beats everyone in this group except Rahmani (IRI) who is my pick to win this weight. 92kg - Conner for BRONZE/DNP. Depends on the draw. Poyonov (UZB) is the favorite, and Sachin (IND) is one to watch out for- I think both beat Conner H2H. I don't recognize too many of the other guys 97kg - Rademacher for SILVER. He always looks undersized, and I can't figure out why?!? Alizadeh (IRI) gets this one done. Iran sending a strong team. Petriashvili (GEO) and Magamedov (RUS) are neck and neck but neither quite there yet. 125kg - I didn't pay too much attention to HWT so I'll pass on prediction.

Access to the Pacific Ocean. California has to much militarily useful land for the us to let them go. have your pipe dream. It will never happen. Not to mention their cozy cozy friendship with China. The adults in the government won’t let it happen.

With that huge gift they received recently, it'd be interesting if they decided to invest in a strong RTC and offer Burroughs a hefty sum to run it. A move like that could potentially make them the top landing spot for Ivy athletes moving forward.

why ya gotta play into Jimmy's hands?
