It's actually worse than that. I'm nervous letting this out of the bag but here it is. Cael makes him walk on his knees. Cody literally has to bind his shins to his thighs. It is done so Cael can demonstrate his superiority
For someone who has a daughter that participates in sports and who now lives in the Philly region and watched first hand the scam that Lia Thomas pulled off it's an important topic for me.
Not really. Cody is 6' 6". Cael is 6' 2". Varner is pushing 7 feet and Casey comes in around 6' 1". I get where @ionel is going. He is implying they should bring Brooks in. He's the shortest wrestler at NLWC at 5' 3" (confirmed by Jimmy). He'd be perfect for the shorties in the back
For those of us who are Chael fans I am still torn up about how the UFC cheated him out of a title. Them not explaining that tapping ended the bout & not the round is still a top 5 scandal.
@mspart maybe 1032004 & I are in agreement here. I see you respond to stuff but a lot of times have no idea who or what you're responding to. Is it possible moving forward you can tag the subject matter your posting about?
I'm just curious if @Interviewed_at_Weehawken will be as aggressive with the juicing allegations for the Cowboys now that DT is no longer in State College? And yes I know Mr. Hamilton that his wife is open about her juicing and is an advocate but that still doesn't prove that DT is a juicier.
I hear ya. Wrestling is a small community and lots of us on here are privy to insider info. Always better to side on the err of caution and not say too much.
I'm passing along second hand info (take it for what it's worth) but I heard it was Jax with Taylor the whole time. Bumping up the announcement had everyone's head spinning but heard it was still Jax wanted to go with Taylor this morning. Posted it before the announcement
I'll never argue that Penn State isn't getting the cream of the crop. I just push back on the narrative they get all of them. Their success is a combo of talent of course and more importantly development. I always like to reference that Ohio State class because it was talked about ad nauseam how it was the greatest ever.
For sure, great holdovers. I think it's important for Taylor to get one maybe two of these young guys to breakthrough as underclassmen to really set off an arms race with Sanderson.
The DT effect is real. Realistically will close the gap with PSU by the end of this decade. Stacked with young talent and has a good supporting cast of coaches.
