D3 for LU Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) AND... according to most here on these forums, it's NEVER too late to pay your debts.

TylerDurden Posted January 30 Posted January 30 This feels like a Brooks/Starocci co-Hodge sort of year. KOT is the only other guy I think has a shot. 165 is insane and he's killing people. If he does something crazy vs. Carr, all bets are off and you can expect Starocci to Xweet something indignant in reply to the Hodge announcement.

Carter would tweet something, but probably be happy to face him at Oly Trials.

peanut Posted January 30 Posted January 30 (edited) Top contenders at this point in the season are (in no particular order): KOT (85% bonus) Brooks (100% bonus) Starocci (88% bonus) Fix (88% bonus) Hendrickson (88% bonus) Hidlay (88% bonus) Keckeisen (83% bonus) Edited January 30 by peanut
bnwtwg Posted January 30 Posted January 30 (edited) KOT isn't even guaranteed to make the finals much less win the whole thing. Don't forget that even though he won when it mattered most, he dropped two matches to Carr last year including getting pinned at Big 12s. Anyone who has Carr above KOT has a very sound argument to do so. It's not like this is a weak bracket like 125 this year or 197 the past couple years, at 165 these are two elite level NCAA *champions and three age-group world champions. Someone's going down Friday night and someone's going down Saturday night, and we might see the results flipped a month later at OTT. Edited January 30 by bnwtwg i am an idiot on the internet

As an example, WrestleStat records a MFF to Starocci as a non-bonus win. Of the 7 matches he's actually wrestled, he has 4 TFs and 3 Falls. No MDs, no DECs. 100% bonus. Whereas Hendrickson has two actual DEC wins (Dawson, NDSU and Ghadiali, Campbell), and they record his bonus rate being equal to Starocci's, when it's not. Edited January 31 by Le duke 1
