RegularStalling Posted October 11 Posted October 11 After the departure (poaching) of Parco and Teemer, ASU has a number of ways they can fill out the lineup. My guess? At 141-197 they go Ysaguirre-Vasquez-Larkin-Ruiz-McLane-Aziz-Valencia
WrestlingRash Posted October 11 Posted October 11 They will have their usual 2 or 3 good guys and a mediocre team overall. 1

Pretty dense statement when the team has had 4-5 AAs every year for the last half decade. Edited October 11 by RegularStalling
Greenwave Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Mediocre team, don’t tell the Brands Brothers. They spent a lot of time down there trying to get wrestlers. 1 3 1
Hammerlock3 Posted October 11 Posted October 11 the way jones coaches has a ceiling. for the most part they recruit athletic guys, and turn them into snakey type guys with overtie shrugs and shots from space that they are way too patient with. I assume the philosophy is something like "we should be coaching at the same tactical level as a world title match", but that means you think of every match as a chess match, limiting action and therefore development, and neglecting the physicality which is more inherent to folk than free. 1 1 2 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

It will be interesting to see how Larkin fares. People forget Ruiz was a to 10 recruit who redshirted last year. I beat the PAC 12 champ in one of the matches he did wrestle. The 184 is a wild card as well Asian champ, 2 time JUCO champ. I'd say they have a shot at the top 10 if they stay healthy. 1

I think this is a pretty accurate assessment. That said, I think they are among the best in the country when it comes to developing guys offensive styles and attacks. Although it isn’t pretty, guys like Teemer and Figs have styles that really optimize their strengths. As for the top position, if anything they’ve made guys worse. I can count on one hand how many riding time points they’ve scored in close matches during Zeke’s tenure.

Vasquez & Larkin are listed at 149 on the updated roster, which I find interesting.

Teemer at Iowa might be interesting. Iowa is a very different dynamic. All the holes seem plugged, solid everywhere, everyone is a pretty difficult out.....all the elite skills seem to have been their in high school. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

Although it’s disappointing when you figure they had a top 3ish ceiling less than two months ago, this is a fun dual team with a top 10 ceiling. They have Valencia listed at 184, but I really wish they’d just let bulk to 197 and see what happens. 1

He is far from perfect, but downplaying a non traditional power that’s finished in the top 10 five out of the last six tournaments is the elitist bullshit that holds this sport back. 1

I am not trolling, i am being contrarian. I have no horse in the race. I also thought the term 'mediocre' was aptly used since we are, in fact, talking about a program that strives and is expected to compete for a trophy every year. When they don't achieve that far more often than they do, that is subpar. The actual definition of subpar is 'below standard.' The definition fits. Zeke nor anyone else within the program will tell you that anything better than 36th place is acceptable, or on par. Elitist is absolute shit word usage and ignorant as hell to use. This is a ***ducking** BBS. Toughen up and don't let words hurt you. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

nhs67 Posted October 12 Posted October 12 First off, I apologize @RegularStalling. I was an asshat there and I owe you an apology for being such. 2 hours ago, 1032004 said: The second Manville isn’t Mason is it? Surely he can’t have any eligibility left I do and he does. He was a former MGR World Teamer, so he had Oly-Shirt eligibility last year. Key was that is what I want, I know nothing on his physical location, size, or mental state. 1 hour ago, juniorvarsity said: What did Kaleb Larkin do in 2023?
