One8alpha Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Limited schedule as he shrinks down for a 74KG run? Seems like an epic challenge for his 4th title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interviewed_at_Weehawken Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 He is great, but I think that would be asking a bit much of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVStateChamp Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I think its a stretch to put him above Dake and Burroughs. Although a different weight class we already saw Marstellar beat Starocci, but I could easily be eating my words in a year. Just not ready to give him that bump yet.

One8alpha Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 I don’t know if it would be an ask. Based off of his interviews, it seems he wants to level up. He could win everything next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHROMEBIRD Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Calling it now, Starocci doesn't win a title if he wrestles a limited season. It'll be a repeat of RBY this season, wrestling when he felt like it, cocky, unfocused, never pushing himself or improving. He won't get a 4th title with that attitude, nor will he deserve one.

peanut Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Starocci knows Starocci better than anybody else. But I can’t help but think that he’s already lean at 174. Going all the way down to 163 (74kg) seems like it would be brutal. Edited March 22, 2023 by peanut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have to disagree there. It’s not easy staying on top once you’re there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what his training or mentality was like, but I don't remember Brooks showing up overconfident, shuffling his feet, and thinking about MMA either.

AOCStallsLikeAMug Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have never seen anyone look bigger than Starocci. His legs are massive. He’s a weight cut merchant, he doesn’t need any more of a size advantage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortaJohn Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm waiting for Starrocci to start referring to himself in 3rd person before entertaining the idea he'll cut to '65 for NCAA's. 1 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Carter, his coaches "made me a monster." This 3 time monstrosity has no need to drop down a weight next year- for what? Nope, he'll coast right into the 2024 finals winning his 4th, and he'll do it with a smile all while being "cocky, unfocused never pushing himself or improving."

PencilNeck Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 What's more obnoxious, Brooks, completely unprompted, calling out one of the most popular religions in the world, or C.S. referring to DII as "beginner level", or whatever he said.

Eagle26 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 He said his goal is to win an Olympic medal. I imagine he knows how he stacks up against Taylor. So maybe it is a possibility? Unfortunately, I think he is a tweener so it’s going to be tough either way for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year ago, a lotta people thought RBY would beat Fix again and coast to another title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
