Hendricks was pinned by Churella

Spencer Lee is the most interesting storyline this Olympic year. Hailed as the next coming since high school. He has had an unusual career thus far with some tremendous success, some major bumps in the road, and far less freestyle than anyone could have expected. He has shown flashes of a level that none of these other guys can hit, but also an Achilles heel or two. The biggest Lee fans out there have to admit it wouldn't be shocking for him to gas out and get beat in the second period by a guy we've never heard of. And the biggest Lee detractors have to admit it wouldn't be shocking for him to go out and blow the doors off the competition.

You are an uninteresting schoolmarm.

Well yeah but i iz idiot-er than the usual fool

"I am an idiot on the internet" Are not we all Also if we can win 6 weights at the Olympics, I'll be the happiest keyboard warrior to ever live #LETSGO!!!!!

My heart says Richards. My roots say Richards. My head says Spencer Lee, Olympic champion. But please refer to my signature

What?

If you want someone who can light up the scoreboard in a hurry then Lee is your guy If you want someone proven who can create his own offense but has come up just short against the best in the world (silver in 18, barely missed merkle against Uguev in olympics) then Gilman is your guy If you want the dude who beat Suriano and Gilman to win the most recent spot along with a number of other quality international victories then Richards is your guy If you want high octane reigning world champ but comes with the price of a heavy cut then Vito is your guy If you want to cheer for Daton Fix then that's great. I guess I will root for him too if he wins the 57 spot again

well it depends on the country. I guess there is a lot less outrage in jamiaca

Gray lost up a weight to the returning NCAA champion … as a true freshman and to the Syracuse assistant coach, recently passed Ed Carlin. No losses to anyone he would have seen at NCAAs.

Didn't he leave when OKst had the year where they were not allowed to compete at NCAA's due to the rules violations? Pat Smith redshirted that year and I believe that Alan Fried stayed and just lost a year of eligibility.

Free Monologues for Kids? Interesting choice. Reminds me of Sixteen Candles when Molly Ringwald's family forget her sixteenth birthday. But she did land Jake. Hopefully Jimmy finds his Jake.

I'm just saying it right now and I don't care about the 4 timers. If Gomez/Lovett is the title match it needs to open the championship round of NCAAs. That match will be freakin electric and will get the crowd buzzing.

Disagreeing with you does not make me a dummy. More often than not it makes me smart. Try not to make every interaction an opportunity for feigned condescension.

Exactly. No one knows what these numbers mean, never mind if they are accurate. Even when the numbers are disclosed people don't know what they mean. Take Shohei Otani, for example. First it was a 10 year $700 million dollar deal, but then the structure was revealed and it was counted as a 10 year $460 million NPV deal. But even that isn't correct. Their NPV calc is based on all the deferred money being paid in 10 years. But only 1/10 is paid in 10 years. The point is never trust the headline number, never believe the rumored number, and never trust someone else to do the math for you.

Thinking of the elite college wrestlers who have won multiple NCAA title but have been pinned in college. David Taylor - pinned by Bubba Jenkins in the finals Kyle Snyder - pinned by Gadson Spencer Lee - pinned by Piccinni in a dual and by Ramos in the NCAA semi-finals RBY - pinned by Austin Gomez in a dual IMar - pinned by Nolf and Joseph Metcalf - pinned by Caldwell Myles Martin - pinned by Nickal Have these guys ever been pinned? Dake Burroughs Dan Gable John Smith Ed Ruth Nolf Zain Dieringer Askren Yianni J'Den Cox Nickal Stieber

What and who do you side with? This is one of the better political quizzes that tells you which presidential candidates, parties, and ideologies your beliefs align with. Select the 'other' choice to select nuanced answers beyond yes and no. I moved from center-right to the right since the past election. See my results below. https://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz

I also would like to say that while this looking ahead, some combo of Lee/Vito/Gilman is going to happen at OTT. Maybe two matches. Don't blink. (Go Zane)

My grandmother made her own candles and would approve of this post.

It is low brow.

Seeing no questions about eating monkey I figured it wasn't a legit quiz and didn't complete.

I only drink straight spirits, beer and wine.

they're all designed differently. each school has its own way of doing things. some include tuition in the 'value' of what they offer; some don't. some require you to simply compete for their college, some have FS escalators, some have branding/image/social aspects, etc, etc. you're asking all the right questions but you seem to doubt they exist (or that the numbers are that high). i assure you, they are.

What makes you say that? Gilman has missed making the team twice and has a DNP in '18. And if you want some anecdotal then Micic couldn't medal either and would never make the US team plus look at the bracket he has to go through at '23 worlds... right up until he won a world championship. Richards had a tough draw and didn't rise to the occasion, it happens at worlds but I would gladly be in a foxhole with him. Gilman came on the scene. Micic burned down the scene. Why can't Richards do the same? Why can't *any* of our 57 front-runners do the same? Oddly enough while Lee is the sexiest he is also the least proven by a country mile.

i think we are all waiting to see if richards can replicate that performance....his WTT was an anachronism.

100% fair, he did what he needed to and got the spot. I was happy for him. Why do I not want him as the rep? Because he can't medal, but I'm glad he made a world team, He's a solid dude

people hate it when i say this but i'll do it again. If you were ranking wrestlers by sheer toughness, let downs moments, body language, dealing with adversity, he's behind most of the other super top tier guys.

do you know how I would descibe it, suriano as a little dake sprinkled in. metcalf had close matches for sure but spititually seemed wed to an aggressive style. Suriano is a little more "i hate losing more than i like winning"

I want to fanboy Lee, but he has a lot ? floating around him...

Richards- I dont want Suriano- I'll accept but meh, won't be enthused. Vito, Gilman, Fix, Lee...... I'm an Oklahoman so "Go Fix" but regardless of who gets the spot, I favor them all vs the reigning world champ. (I genuinely wouldn't be bothered by any of them) ..... Clearly a Lee who beats the domestic field would be a force. (But we'll see)

the comparison is still interesting. Suriano has better position, metcalf more offensive...interesting to think how they benefit or suffer from free vs folk circumstances.....suriano wrestles a very modern stiyle, metcalf very mid 90s...hard to gather my thoughts.

and the pizza is definitely better up there

That's what I'm wondering. Is he still on the entries?

How common is it outside of PSU, Iowa, Michigan, or tOSU? Maybe Cornell and OkSt but Yianni and Fix are exceptions rather than rules given their accolades (and one could argue that Fix hasn't earned it if you disregard freestyle). The one thing I have learned about NIL is that even though wrestling finally has a bag man, it's still very hush hush. Transparency is necessary for wrestlers, families, coaches, journalists, and fans.

Women and children hardest hit.

Absofreakinlutely, BP! Law of averages dictates that it is so.

Is this reversible? If I call Bono a Turdbiscuit, will I then become someone of high moral fiber? I'd really like to have that going for me.

Gabe Dean was pinned by Ruth.

I’ve been opened to a whole new dimension. Had no idea ‘schoolmarm’ was such a ‘thing’.

This Michigan squad could get as high as second or as low as 15th. It all depends on peaking as well as injuries. DeAugustino - Depending on brackets, he could win it all. He majored the highest returning placer two weeks before Nationals last year. Cannon - Could place as high as 3rd. He beat Nagao and while Crookham looks promising, I am not sold (yet). Lemley - Could place. He could. True frosh, plenty of moxy, just needs his feet under him a bit more and that confidence could take him next level. I expect a match or two win at the least at NCAAs. Gomez - Could win it all. Lewan - He isn't beating Robb. Robb sonned him. He is the only one Lewan can't beat though. Peak of 2nd. Amine - He isn't beating O'Toole. That Carr match was closer than I thought it would be, though. Peak of 2nd. Griffith - He isn't beating Sta(l)rocci. Peak of 2nd. Bullock - He lost to 157lber Negron then rattled off a dozen wins at CKLV. He could AA. Not sure how high, though. Striggow - I would be happy to win a match at NCAAs here. Davison - I think he could still win it all. I am calling peak of 2nd, though. So if everyone peaks at their absolute best and no injuries, Michigan can still get 2nd. We could also be looking at as low as 2-3 low AA.

It will really depend on how the coaches bring along the wrestlers so they peak properly in March. Back in 2022, they did it perfectly with Suriano, giving him just enough mat time so he'd be ready for nationals but not so much that he'd rebel or lose focus. I think the situation will be similar for Gomez.

It is a designation.

Gomez is a legit title contender for sure. He is a tier 1 guy with Lovett, Henson and Parco.

great documentary...would be curious why Rico Chiapparelli wasn't interviewed like almost all of the other wrestlers were?

He survived child birth?
