Alex Facundo at OK State

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Any word on how Facundo is looking?  We know he is an elite freestyler but interested to see how he fares in his first year as a full time folkstyle starter.  Have to think he AA's under the tutelage of the the Magic Man.

He was a ncaa qualifier in '23 Jimmy

[Truzzcat]

He had a bad NCAA's but he beat 4 all americans his Redshirt freshman year.

now that he doesn't have a bunch of monsters trying to cut him down to 157 sky is the limit!

In other words, he wasn't in the same class as Levi Haines or MItchell Messenbrink but he's way better than Ok State back up Ben Mower.

No one is in Messenbrink's class.

No, but he has a new wardrobe

I think Hendrickson and Zaid are proof something positive is happening. Let's hope same for facundo. Good for sport

[Mr. PeanutButter]

He's not going to beat the eye poking headbutter but I think he could provide a very intriguing and irritating match up for Caliendo

He didn't mean rubbing one off on to him.  Dr. @MPhillipssimply meant that @Wrestleknownothing is getting more Fawesome by the day.

The second I saw rubbing in a Jimmy thread I knew it would eventually take "that" turn

[ionel]

In his first five matches Facundo #20 (WS) could face:

Norman #15  

Ruiz #6

Singleton #7

Kennedy #4

Minto #3

I only see 2 (Kharchla, Amine), 3 if you count Fish who didn’t become an AA until 2025.  Am I missing one?

Bruh. I stoopid

I did this past weekend(Oct.4th) "Spend the day with Cowboy wrestling" Where we got to have a question and answer lunch session with DT and watch the 1pm - 3pm practice followed up with Dinner with the team and coaches.  I did notice the Facundo didnt pactice but he was there sitting in the bleachers in street clothes.  If he's hurt, I hope he's ready to go come November 15th and 16th.
