There certainly is evidence that 141 cleared out pretty substantially in 2023. The top 4 2022 placers did not return. Woods was then the second highest returning placer and finished second. Not a perfect way to look at it, but simple placement is also not perfect for the same reason.

We have already seen that Taylor is not a Cael clone through the initial press conference. Just as his in front of the press demeanor differs from Sanderson's, I would expect that his matside demeanor will differ, as well.

How do we use NC State's performance this year at NCAAs to inform a projection for next year? They really crapped the bed. Based on seeds they were a runaway favorite to finish second with 94 points, a full 31 points clear of third. Instead they scored 49.5 points and dropped all the way to 11th place, a full 21.5 points behind third. I am not sure how to put that in historic perspective, but my gut tells me it has to be one of the all-time great fails.

21-22

Its the difference between book law and legal reality. How will you prove it?

Born in NY, grew up in Chicago. Do you follow Cuban wrestling too?

Where are you from, Sean?

Sounds like a bunch of verbal promises with no contract. Seems like Rashada is getting educated after all. Hard to believe he had an agent and still wound up in this mess.

I wouldn't read too much into that match. It was a takedown to a lace with four quick rolls. The most freestyle of techs, and unlikely to be repeated in either direction.

Yes, it creates a situation where everyone in a winter sport should always enter the portal as a protective measure. Then they have the option to stay without losing the option to transfer.

Spring and fall get a 15 day window and a 30 day window beginning the day after their championship. Winter gets a single 45 day window.

30 days from the day after Smith's announcement, which was April 11. So that window closed May 14.

There is now only a single transfer window per year for wrestling starting seven days after NCAAs and extending for 45 days.

I believe they made a documentary about him:

Because swimming is the highest form of sport.

The obvious, and unquestioned, greatest athlete is Zambian, Nanu. After being seen outrunning a cheetah in his home country, he came to the United States and singlehandedly won the NCAA track and Field Tournament in 1973. Though it was touch and go due to his rough start (he fell/slid backward on his first long jump attempt and his first javelin attempt went backward), following a key coaching adjustment he won the 440, high jump, javelin, shot put, pole vault, discuss, long jump, and another track event in just 2 minutes and 9 seconds.

On these here message boards everything is true.

Me too. The highest I found was Jeff Jaggers at 137,735. That is just school salary. Not sure about RTC money. Kevin Jackson at 131,040. Churella was at 128,856. Morningstar 121,344.

Nope

I started a gofundme to pay for my contribution to RBY's gofundme

I have found Jack Carnefix, Operations Manager at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame to be very helpful. jcarnefix@nwhof.org

Tom Petty said the waiting is the hardest part.

Turns out "Someone's brother-in-law" was the wrong answer, but there are 11 visionaries on this board. Or maybe 14? Not sure if those last 3 votes had inside info.

You and I could not feel any different about this.

In the plus column for Dake going to OSU is that he and Taylor are close friends.
