I think Duke and Jax are the top 2 (no particular order) because their more high scoring than Blaze and have had more senior level success than Bassett (and I think they are more dynamic scorers than Bassett is)

No. I just want him to tell me about wrestling when interviewed. Changes in training. Influences of coaches, family and traiming partners. Maybe talk about nutrition and/or strength and conditioning. Wrestling stuff. Mindset is fine and you can certainly thank God or praise him if that is the driving force brhind your mindset, but share the other stuff too. This isn't strictly a Snyder criticism. its horrendous to listen to. Its an echo chamber. I won't say its virtue signaling because im not sure it is, but it certainly isn't entertaining and a lot of work and sacrifice go into succeeding at the highest levels. Some fans want to hear about that instead of religion.

Fair enough, but I think you would have a tough time synthesizing the tenets of their faith.

The United States is a Religious Freedom-focused country. Some choose to exercise that via christianity. But let’s not conflate a collection of individual choices with the structural intent of the country. I heard a story about this guy, he walked into a bagel shop, ordered an onion bagel with extra strawberry cream cheese. He sits down and starts yelling at all the customers who come in “This is an Onion Bagel and Strawberry Cream Cheese Shop!” while sitting in front of 30 racks of different bagels and 20 flavors of cream cheese. Some people really want to make it their business what sorts of bagels other people eat. But it never will be. Just let people eat their bagels in peace. Everyone is staring down a long work day and a crappy commute, the bagel just helps make it a bit better.

No, the interesting thing for me re: Dake is he found Jesus while training at Penn State. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Cael is preaching it a bit (at least at the RTC practices)

Our boy Mo(hammad) also has some pretty good international market coverage.

Carr was the youngest Olympian in U.S. wrestling history, competing at the 1972 Summer Olympics while still in high school as a 17-year-old. He also competed at the 1971 World Wrestling Championships at 52 kg (114.5 pounds) as a 16-year-old.

The quantity of HS challenging the senior-level of wrestling now is quite surprising to see. (Was a rarity before... now becoming more prevalent today.) D3

Jimmy Carr... 52Kg FS team 1972 Olympics D3

Don't take life soooooooooooooo seriously, moodybooty It's just a throw away joke anyway. Take it or leave it. (That's all you have to do... ) D3

And a lot of them are lying about it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (What he said... ) D3

I don't know in what direction Grey (note the spelling that Cornell fans probably should know) is moving the needle that you disagree with. He seems to be a religious guy, but he keeps that to himself. In the Class of 2025, there are four NJ guys, one NY guy (Elijah D), one PA guy (Correa), and two California guys (Cortez brothers), not to mention he-who-got stolen from AZ. All in the top 60 in Flo's Big Board. Class of 2026 has five guys in the top 100: one each from CA, PA, OK, CO, and VA. I like that needle direction.

The USA was one of the first to explicitly set up a *separation* of church and state in the constitution to allow folks to follow or not follow whatever they want.

It's funny. The wingers constantly talk about how important it is to procreate, but then become infuriated when non whites procreate. Apparently it's only good when whites procreate; not other races.

Well... 2028 is a little less three more years. He would be 40 by then. https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/jordan-burroughs-wrestling-2025 D3

What do people want wrestlers & athletes to believe in, if not their faith? The United States is a Christian-focused country, and a lot of its upper echelon will proclaim their faith as their driving factor. Is this not probably the same in other countries with their corresponding religion? Instead of going to a dark place and becoming an asshole during a rough patch of life, he leaned on faith. Do we have to hate that?

... don't pay her. D3

OH! That reminds me of this (old) joke... How do you make a HORMONE? D3

He's almost 37 with a full plate and it's early in the quad. Chillll

Sure are a lot of quality wrestlers that are Jesus freaks huh?

WrestlingRasta... you are true to your nom de guerre. Had to Google those lyrics... and came up with Concrete Jungle by Bob Marley and The Wailers. Very good! D3

It used to be... that NCAA college champs and AA's that were quite good at TD could transition to the international style and nab a medal or two at the Worlds & Olympics. Usually attending training camps w/ the team and have intensive work on what & what NOT to do in freestyle. (A lot w/o extensive knowledge of the FS rules.) Obviously those times have changed... but some are quick learners. D3
