1032004 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I’m not sure if it will be Kerk or Hendrickson, but I think one of them beats him. Getting flashbacks to 2022 Spencer Lee with most people seeming to assume him winning is a foregone conclusion. 1 4 3 1
BruceyB Posted January 12 Posted January 12 How confident are you that he loses? That's a pretty long shot. Are you actually predicting this to happen or just putting it out that you think Gable could lose this year? I've said it in a previous thread that I do want to see his resolve if someone can take him to deep water. I'm curious how much fight he'll have if he gets tired and has to battle. He hasn't needed to/done so since the 2021 Olympics. 1

Although I’m not sure what I’d do if I was filling out a bracket as I’m not confident in predicting who beats him. I’d probably lean Hendrickson at this moment. 1
1032004 Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 Correction: I guess that was 2023 Spencer Lee not 2022…

Is he wrestling, is he not? Will he come back, won't he? IMO he shouldn't have eligibility if he simply chose not to participate the past two years. And the retroactive "Olympic Redshirt" for athletes that weren't enrolled in college nor entered in a single freestyle tournament is a joke. 1
Hammerlock3 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I don't think he can lose. Hendrickson is too much of a goon and Kerk never caught the PSU lightening bolt. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

AnklePicker Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) Say whatever you want but I freaking love watching this dude wrestle. Total control on the mat. USA wrestling needs him to give it another Olympic run. Edited January 12 by AnklePicker 3

I take no offenses on behalf of Wyatt. I actually think Wyatt has a better chance of beating Gable than Kerk. I think Wyatt is more likely to get into an exchange where he could score big points/a fall than Kerk. You aren't beating Gable by playing his game. 1

Expand Haha that’s actually a great gig for an old retired wrestling coach. From what I saw today, Gable is a better than ever. No one is beating him in the US. 3

So maybe today wasn't the best overall indicator of whether he's better than ever or not.

He did seem to have a little bit of a belly today. So I think it is possible he might actually not be as quick as he’s been previously

de4856 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Well I hope that Gable is 100% committed and will try to get back on our Senior MFS team. Hell I would also he to give Greco a try as well
