Expand Why I am predicting Gable wins, but at least Greg is in the conversation.
bnwtwg Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Kerk is not in the conversation Unless this thread is renamed "Does Kerk win silver or bronze?" i am an idiot on the internet

I’d also give Hendrickson a better chance of turning him than Kerk. Which if Hendrickson was the one to heat him it could potentially be the start of the legend of Taylor’s coaching career… Expand I'll have this bookmarked. If its even remotely close major kudos. I Don't Agree With What I Posted
headshuck Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I could see Kerk beating him if the match is tied 0-0 after one period. Kerk would need to play the edge and avoid getting called for stalling.

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. Expand So true!
KennyEBHS Posted January 13 Posted January 13 On 1/12/2025 at 2:02 AM, Hammerlock3 said: I don't think he can lose. Hendrickson is too much of a goon and Kerk never caught the PSU lightening bolt. Expand Yeah, Kerk wrestles like he is unmotivated. He seems to sleep-walk through his matches.
KennyEBHS Posted January 13 Posted January 13 On 1/12/2025 at 2:10 AM, Hammerlock3 said: it was a rude way of saying his wrestling isn't sophisticated enough to beat Steveson. He's really open and really bold, but he's not good enough to make his blitzkrieg work on steveson. Should have said it nicer. Expand His goon-ness may be tempered and controlled by his head coach.
KennyEBHS Posted January 13 Posted January 13 On 1/12/2025 at 2:17 AM, BruceyB said: I just wasn't sure what you meant. 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. Expand Totally agree.

I think he might have a chance against Gable because of Gable being rusty. But I can't see Hendrickson beating Gable or Kerk. Great kid, but those guys are both a good deal better than he is on the mat. Expand Bring back Cassar.
Boring Posted January 13 Posted January 13 On 1/13/2025 at 10:18 PM, KennyEBHS said: Bring back Cassar. Expand Yup. The only guy to beat Steveson in college, and he was a jumped up 197 pounder.

Expand That goon-ness has given him Gorarrians and a u23 world title on a torn knee. It put him six inches out of bounds from teching the eventual senior world bronze medalist. I hate that I'm making this comparison for so many reasons but... What is the difference between Hendrickson and Messenbrink's styles? i am an idiot on the internet
