Maxwell Smart

Wish him the best but have to say no. It's very hard to maintain especially when you're so out front with it. His behavior was weird on several occasions, especially at match end with Cardenas. How does that go over with teammates that have no interest or do but not to that degree. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Watching the Parco match, would've it been better for the wrestler if the coaches stepped in and stopped it. He was obviously gutting it out but he was hurting. Is it really in his best, long term, interest to continue?

Just my opinion. Who do you think has a better shot?

The Hawkeyes will probably extend their streak of having a wrestler in the finals, but will they have a national champion? Ayala has the best shot although Caliendo showed great improvement and Buchanan has wrestled very well all year. There's tough competition in all the weight classes with the extra covid year and some bad ass older dudes and young studs that have no fear. Will be exciting.

Excellent article by Earl Smith today listed 11 wrestlers who graduated high school in 2018

Made a big error. Sorry about that chief!

With all the talk about Bo Bassett's age, who's the oldest wrestler in each weight class? 125 - Lucas Byrd

Hamiti said he's improved a lot since transferring and wish he had this coaching sooner. He's a threat for sure.

Have to go with Nebraska and Illinois for their success in the tourney. Iowa and Ohio State didn't have the tourney they wanted or needed. Too many overachieving underclassman to mention, the future looks bright. Too many underachieving long time wrestlers, exceptions being Byrd and Steveson. Both had time off.

Bartlett vs Vombaur.

Why would it be? Redshirt, medical redshirt, olympic redshirt, covid. There's wrestlers that are far older than he'll be when he's done. Aren't there 24 and 25 year-olds out there?

This is very common in the high school world today. He's a special person who'll do well. Haven't had an NCAA champion in 2 years but they're going to have 2 4-timers starting next year? Right.

David Taylor is in the building.

Injuries adding up has caused the Brands to soften up on the intensity of practices causing them to lose their conditioning edge is absolutely hilarious.

The Hawkeyes have brought in transfers too. John Smith is a legend that needed replaced, time will tell.
