Bacanator Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 It’ll be interesting to see how Vito does at 65kg but he is in an absolutely monstrous bracket. Merrill and Sinclair being in the same bracket blows my mind Tbh I didn’t recognize any names at 97kg so I skipped over them This will be Kerk’s first tournament wrestling for Spartan Combat RTC

CHROMEBIRD Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Didn't Vito have surgery for a pretty serious injury not too long ago? I want to say neck or spinal discs, but not sure. I didn't think he'd be competing again so soon.

I didn't think he'd be competing again so soon. He has one tournament under his belt at 65kg but against international. A couple wins and a 18-15 loss in the finals. I’m hoping Yianni can make a comeback from whatever he is dealing with

Truzzcat Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Chance back at 79 is super exciting. Of not Seidel is entered at 65kg for u20's which leads me to believe 133 will not be in the picture next year. Could see him and Bo battle it out which would be absolute cinema. Seidel has the option to redshirt as does Bo but I feel like with Eddie and Henson having one more year they are going to want to put the best lineup out there so I am guessing we see 141: Seidel 149: Bassett/Gaj 157: Henson sorry to make this into an NCAA post just thought it was intriguing.

This has become a lot more realistic although Frayer mentioned Bassett as a 141 the other day. Caleb's best weight is also probably 149. Can't see a world where they put a RS on a guy who can compete for a national title two years in a row but it may have to happen. Also Gorman up at 70kg some speculating he's bulked up and going for the 157 spot, and that's where they'd bring in Melvin if they do end up going that route (still unlikely) 1

Both guys are immediate title contenders. I think Henson would be my pick to win 149 but probably not 157. There are a ton of good options for 157 with Ninninger, Gaj, Gorman potentially. 1 I am the personal property of VakAttack

Sucks man, Gaj is one of my favorites wrestlers to watch 1
RickJames Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Sinclair is wrestling 86, but for U20 freestyle. Interesting that he didn't register for 86 senior freestyle. Must prefer his path at 92.

Spladle08 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 My coworker entered....respect...... He's delusional but respect Excited for some fun matchups 1
mspart Posted April 7 Posted April 7 That's pretty cool. When I did Veteran's, folks at work thought I was a bit off. But it was fun and I had a great time. I wasn't good, but I met a lot of great guys along that trek. mspart 2

I have a few friends doing the old timers and I think that'd be a lot of fun, but I'm too old to be checking to see if I could still make a world team (I never was within 1000 miles of being that good) ... He's like 28 so maybe this will change his view. I'm doing my first BJJ event May 16th (I've gone to about 6 practices ever so pray for me .... This was a JH kid challenging me to try it ) But maybe I'll enter Vets in 2027, it does seem like fun. I bet you crushed MSPART!
