Is Bartlett the new #1 at 141?

Not buying that Alirez is ducking anyone.  Remember this is a guy who entered the portal last year, and everyone was all up in arms about it and criticizing him for leaving a small program to chase after the bucks... and he ended staying.  That's his reward, a bunch of guys saying he's ducking?  When he's got NCAA and US Open titles under his belt?  He may not run up the score much but the guy is a terror.

He's wrestled a selective schedule.. I'm not sure why questioning when and where he's wrestled is out of line. He's "happened" to be out for the toughest competitors thus far.

I would disagree that he hasn't ducked. NWCA dual tournament he wrestled day 1 but didn't wrestle day 2. Was it a weight issue, was it a duck issue or was it load management? To many it looks like a duck. UNI & Iowa State had most of their team at Soldier Solute. Where where their starters for that?  

“Load management” is the politically correct way to say ducking…
