There are what.  2,400 wrestlers in d1.  Splitting hairs but is he top 24 in that pool?

He'll be top 3 at 141. So he's probably top 30 at least.

I don't agree - Luke has grown into the weight more and is still improving - I won't say I'm picking him over JM but I think it will be a very competitive match.

Nope. They have been known to duck though...

The original point was that Stanich will not go 149 to avoid having to beat Mendez to win a title. Not whether or not he'd duck him in the regular season. If he goes 149 it's because he's a 149 pounder, not to get an easier road.

It's not like having to deal with Caleb Henson and SVN is a walk in the park.

especially with a style that is largely predicated on being able to move and get your opponent out of position. Henson is a hoss.

He looked like a full sized 70kg (154lb) this summer. He's a beast.

Yeah, I do not think he is making 65kg for olympics unless he has a zain type of cut.

Agreed he is a beast...watching him I was like man, he must have bones like birds do to make the weight based on how he looks.
