I think that's a fair question, I am a big fan of Bo and how he carries himself but this kid has been grinding at an elite level since he was a kid and he only just got to High School. It is very hard to stay on this pace from 8 until his 20's when he will be undoubtably trying to make Olympic teams

Would be a great fit at Oklahoma State for his last year as 157 is their only major hole in the lineup

which of those wrestlers is Beric beating? I'll wait for your answer

He didn't pick the Sooners, he settled for the Sooners. He isn't beating out Spratley, Hughes, Carter, Jamison etc. 125-141 is stacked with young talent, he would have been sitting for a few years and went to a place he can compete to start right away. Best of luck to him

Honestly, and I'm no Penn State fan, judging by the eye test I think Zain was more dominant than Gable in college. The weight classes he wrestled in are also much more competitive than heavyweight and I think that should also count for something. Gable lost twice to Cassar who was good but Zain lost twice to Logan Steiber and you can't compare Cassar and Steiber

They won't come out and say it, but I think Plott may redshirt to get a year away from Starocci and let him graduate then go and try and win a title. As much as I like Plott nobody is on Starocci's level in college

Jordan Williams was never going 157 he will be 149 with Sammy Alvarez at 141. 157 is definitely a hole

this is BS, JoJo beat Chandler in a wrestle off, there is nothing preferential about that. Fact is, JoJo was a bad matchup stylistically for him and would probably beat him 8 out of 10 times if they wrestled off.

Carroll likely isn't beating Bastida or Elam as a true freshman but those guys both have potential to be NCAA finalists. It's not a fair question, Carroll isn't supposed to come in and be a title challenger right away. Look at the lower half of the 285 AA projections: Owen Trephan, Dayton Pitzer, Colton McKiernan, Lewis Fernandes, Yaraslav, Tyrell Gordon.......could he be competitive with those guys right out of the gate? I think so. I think he could be a blood round guy and after this year 285 clears out a lot of the top guys

It's easy to sit Feldman for a year when you have a bonafide heavyweight with a ton of experience ahead of him. Doucet may have been 19-12 but that record is misconceiving. He really wasn't competitive with any legit heavies and will likely never sniff an AA. Carroll is an immediate upgrade IMO

Well you're comparing him to two top guys, I'm not saying Carroll is going to come in an take top 4 AA as a true freshman but he will at least give the pokes a live body at heavyweight, something Doucet is not and something they have been severely lacking for a while aside from White

It pains me to say but I think as of right now Mizzou and Iowa State have surpassed Okie State in the Big 12. I hope I am wrong but I think they have some work to do

Talent hasn't been the problem with OSU, it has been developing the talent that is a gigantic problem. Also, I wouldn't call these teams "overloaded with talent" especially when you look at what teams like Michigan, Penn State, Iowa and Iowa State are doing

I don't think there is any way that Christian Carroll doesn't come in and start from Day 1

you can argue it, I guess, but I would take Zain's career over Spencer

what time do the finals start? I thought it was at 4 EST

is there anywhere to see the mens freestyle brackets? I can't find it on Flo

The ACC is nowhere close to where the Big 12 is in terms of sports. Big 12 is clearly the #3 conference it is by far the best basketball conference and it's not even close and it is a better overall football conference. The ACC literally only has Clemson the rest of ACC football is God awful. ACC wrestling has really improved a ton and I would love to see NC State, Pitt and Va Tech in the Big 12 for wrestling reasons

the perfect scenario is Fix down at 125 where he should have been anyway, Carter Young at 133 and Sammy Alvarez at 141

wrestling singlets are outdated and kids don't want to wear them. Let's be honest it looks silly. Kids like the UFC and MMA, let them wear "fight shorts" and no headgear

I didn't realize the movie was only in theaters for one night. That seems silly. So where can one watch it now?

I haven't read the whole thread yet but I see no downside to any of those changes. Would they take effect starting next year??

He seemed 100% a month ago when he was pinning everyone in a minute

Oklahoma State could use some big time transfers

You do realize that Cornell is in New York State right? Hence, the "New York connection"
