He has to hit the weight room to maintain a weight minimum of 230ish if he hopes to get to the NFL. He's not putting a lucrative opportunity for generational wealth on the line to throw on a singlet for the Hawkeyes at 197
He beat Levi in freestyle, is known to have a big motor, high attack rate, and is a Ben Askren pupil. So right now its nothing more than a wrestler with a lot of upside. Personally I'm buying into the hype
I predict using strengths and weaknesses both opponents have and how they compare to each other's style. Then which wrestler has the upper hand in exposing his opponents weakness. I have never used a common opponent as a barometer. I personally believe it's unreliable
Not bad @Jimmy Cinnabon, not bad at all. I'd also add the NLWC is a big factor and a bigger factor than many people realize. With the recent addition of Dake it's currently impossible to top let alone match what's happening in State College. It's currently the mecca of USA wrestling for Folk and Freestyle
Yes. Same guy. And no he's not a big 197 pounder and where did this imaginary long wingspan come from? or are you just trolling me! AJ is not that big of a person. Anyone who has been around him can verify this
I'd lay a bet that common opponent, total points scored, bonus point rate are all bad metrics in determining the victor between two elite opponents that have never wrestled. My fellow PSU fanatics made that same terrible mistake when I kept telling them Dake was going to beat Taylor. I know points scored are "sexy" but they're too overvalued
Apologies. Didn't claim you were. Am getting ahead of the conversation about Brooks' size with the inevitable "is he big enough" when Ferrari himself is an undersized 197 pounder
Can never understand why people use a common opponent as a metric to predict an outcome in any sport. Maybe a fun project for @Wrestleknownothing compile data and show us how inaccurate of a predictor it is
Thanks again Vak. This particular poster on BWI is also stating Ferrari set the request due to the prosecution liking the strength of their case & most likely offering a harsh plea deal.
@VakAttackcan you set the record straight on an opinion posted on BWI pertaining to AJ's pretrial

This is not good news for AJF. It suggests (1) a motivated prosecutor and (2) no palatable plea offer — i.e., the State wants a felony conviction and likely jail time.
I’d wager that the only public wrestling AJF will be seen in for the next couple of years at least will be WWE or MMA.
