I'm not a Dylan fan.  However, Dylan prob doesn't want or need Barr's prayers.  Barr should prob pray for himself and to stop himself from throwing child-like tantrums.

Maybe Barr should pray that he graduates college at a reasonable age.  Not many 21 year old freshmen.

I give credit to him for apologizing for his actions.

Not sure why he’s posting on x that quickly after a match though…

Think Yianni could use a change of scenery. TNT could be a good fit

Yianni has all the potential in the world but just can't keep it together. I feel like most of his losses are him blowing it rather than the other guy taking it from him. Seems that way, at least. 

One thing is for sure - this is gonna be the worst team in quite some time aside from Spencer and Zahid. 

Worst team in a while?

	2024	2025
57kg	Spencer Lee (silver)	Spencer Lee
61kg	Vito Arujau (silver)	Vito/Forrest
65kg	Zain Retherford (no medal)	Real Woods
70kg	James Green (no medal)	PJ Duke
74kg	Kyle Dake (bronze)	David Carr
79kg	Jordan Burroughs (no medal)	Levi Haines
86kg	Aaron Brooks (bronze)	Zahid Valencia
92kg	David Taylor (bronze)	Trent Hidlay
97kg	Kyle Snyder (no medal)	Kyle Snyder
125kg	Parris (no medal)	Hendrickson

Last year we had 0 golds, and 5 total medals. This team may not have the big names of last years team, but I'd argue this team brings home more hardware than last year's.

To think dake went from 141 to ~190 ish from frosh year to now and was competitive in the finals for the world team is craaaaaaazy.      50 on 141 is more than 35%…. Wowza.     I was 126/134 in college so call it a few lbs left (old weigh in rules) …. I probably would have ended at 142 as the cuts were brutal.   The 190 lb dudes were huuuuuuuuuuige compared to me.   Not in a million years would I believe it’s possible on any level.

He always is so critical of himself to where it sounds a bit unhealthy. If you watched the post match show, he said that he isn't sure what's wrong with him but he keeps freezing, he wrestles well in practice then can't perform, that if he wrestles like that then USA isn't getting a medal at 57kg. Even Jordan was like oh stop it...

He also pays too much attention to the haters. He said something along the lines that everyone always says he's an amateur at freestyle, then defended himself. Idk anyone who says Spencer isn't amazing at freestyle.

[Le duke]

Duke pulled the overhook and lifted the ankle as soon as Diakomihalis started to apply hip pressure.   It's almost like he was waiting for this position/someone scouted it.

I imagine Zain/Cody/Casey have seen enough of Yianni’s tricks to help KD with a pointer or two.

I could see 7 medals or 1 lonesome bronze and neither result would surprise me

Why are they gonna help him blow out his other knee or help him continue the trend of losing to Penn state guys?

Don't see how T&T help.  He'd fit in well at Stillwater or I could see him doing well with Cross down at NYRTC

[Scouts Honor]

has yanni ever changed his approach?

I’ve been pessimistic with this team however the only weight I do not think we can medal is 79. I would say we have a less than likely shot at 65,79,97 but I think there is a world where we walk away with 7 medals. PJ,Trent,Real are by no means favorites but could certainly navigate decent draws Spencer,Wyatt, (whoever wins 61) zahid all should medal and I think carr and Snyder are probably 50/50 or better.

Maybe he should be thanking God that his team recruited a Sr. World Team Winner instead of spending 5 million on a social media influencer.

Huh? What World team winner?

Thought he had a better approach here he wasn’t letting PJ on his legs he just folded match 2 and I think was mentally cooked after that. In my opinion the better wrestler lost but PJ is probably our future so I’m glad he will get the opportunity.

Good response from Josh 

Imagine being in your 30s and still an Atheist edgelord.  I don’t believe in God either, but holy hell, give it a rest.

That's the "alleged" price tag for Bassett.

This is about Hidlay and Barr.

Who did PSU pay to be on the world team?

He's got a great gut, but that's a lot of points to give up... Will he get exposed?

We have a ton of heavyweights who have proven they are good enough to win age group medals.  Hilger isn't one.  I'm nervous about Wyatt's baseline defense.

Not sure why he’s posting on x that quickly after a match though…

He seems to go to X very quickly.

My guess is that if he can go to X that quickly and be recalcitrant, he could probably avoid embarrassment in the first place.  Maybe even graduate high school in 6 years?

Not everyone who hates Iowa is a Penn State fan.   I respect what Sanderson has done, I respect what Taylor is doing.  The only Penn State match I've ever been to was in the late 80s when my friend's brother wrestled for them and his parents invited me to accompany them.

[Doublehalf]

Honestly can't believe PJ won and really pumped to see what he can do at worlds but damn do I feel for Yianni.... Newark New Jersey is not his friend and this is going to be tough to come back from.

you saw his defense against Gable when he chose to be more strategic. When he opens up his offense, it opens him up defensively as well, but he has the ability to button it up when needed.

I saw a lot of folkstyle scrambling vs Gable, unfortunately.  Won't work out well for FS.
