BarSeries Posted March 7 Posted March 7 People who had AJ favored over Buchanan before PAC12s..........do you still favor AJ at NCAAs?

Expand I had Buchanan over AJ, as well as Cardenas and Barr. Now I have AJ over all three. None of them are as fast or strong enough, unfortunately (for me rooting for Barr). 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
Gantry Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) At the end of the day Ferrari never gets taken down or ridden. He'd lose to AJ from a few years ago and isn't as sharp, but that AJ isn't in the bracket. If he doesn't get a TD, that stall ride gets him the minute of riding time. His doubles allow him to score quickly and avoid scrambling. He's the favorite in my book. The best bet is someone like Barr wearing him down and taking neutral to not screwing around wasting so much time on mat wrestling. People need to stop going under him in 0TD matches. Can he lose? Absolutely, but in any individual match he's the favorite in my eyes. His playbook is hard to beat Edited March 7 by Gantry 2 1

For all the talk of people wearing him down, I cannot think of any match where his gas tank has been an issue. 1 1

I think you are right about going under him....I think the best option is what Little did and then be patient to finish. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT
Idaho Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 Whether people like it or not, AJ has done his part this year to get his career back on track. He has, for the most part, kept his behavior in check, dialed it down and wrestled pretty tough last night against #7. Unless a train wreck happens leading up to or in Philly, I see him getting some good NIL and moving on. I am sure that Iowa is #1 on his list, but is he #1 on Iowa's list. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT

Does anyone know if IVY will be doing that for this 1st Tourney ? Expand They will not. MAC, Pac-12, and SoCon do it, the other five conferences do not. 1 1

I guess Bob has a decision he needs to make. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT
