If Hendrickson goes undefeated and wins the title then he will certainly be in the conversation for Hodge. I don't think he can beat Kerk but if he does then he will get his due.

Nope. The dual was at home and Cael is still the coach. They also get calls due to Cael Sanderson and the dominance of the PSU team in general. It's a combination. Davis got the home cooking/Cael Sanderson effect. And I say that as a PSU fan.

Do PSU guys get calls? Yup. Do all superstars in sports get calls? Yup. Specific PSU guys get calls because they are elite and Cael in general gets calls because of the program he has built. Refs are human. The best guys will get the benefit of the doubt more times than not and Penn State has had the most best guys for a long time now.

Fair enough.

Nothing. This is simply my hot take.

I think his only shot is opening it up against Brooks. However I think that works out worse for him. We know what it looks like if he doesn’t open up. The problem is that opening it up is probably a recipe for disaster against Brooks. It isn’t that I think Trent isn’t elite either. He is. It’s just that Brooks is an insane talent and has been since high school. I remember when AB committed people legitimately thought he could be a 4x undefeated champ and while he did not accomplish that he has lived up to every bit of the hype he had as a recruit.

That is true. This is the reason why I’m making my extremely bold and unlikely prediction today. I might add that everyone thought IMar was in the best position to win four undefeated titles as well. And while he did win his first two he did not win two while undefeated. I am making an extraordinarily bold claim but it does have a caveat of winning it this year while winning the B1G. My prediction is very unlikely to pass because I do not think Mesinbrink is ready to take down Carr/O’Toole but if he does then look out.

Care to fill me in? I’m an idiot and often times need someone to spell it out for me. I have a smooth brain.

Cael was asked about him earlier this season and what their level of recruitment was like. Cael admitted that if they thought he would be what he is now they would have thrown the kitchen sink at him to commit to PSU. He achieved Super Sayain level late and nobody saw it coming. And when it was clear he was capable of Ultra Instinct Cael nabbed him.

MMW: If Mesinbrink wins a title this year he will be the only other guy to win four titles and go undefeated. It’s almost surely not going to happen with Carr and O’Toole in the weight class but if he does then book it.

One out of three ain’t bad.

Are you trying to say that Trent Hidlay was robbed of an NCAA title against Aaron Brooks?

Jimmy approves.

He 100% has another year if he wants. And he will be back to wrestle it.

I am not in debt. But if it makes you feel better the check is in the mail.

I thought the most boring argument on here was the strength of Aaron Negao’s schedule this year and last. Multiple pages of those boring takes.

He took the bet because he is a troll who does not post in good faith. At no point did he actually believe he would win. Everything he posts is in bad faith. That’s why people have a problem with him.

He is certainly a handsome fella and the original Stat Boy.

It's all about the Jimmys and the Joes, not the Xs and the Os.

You really do a great Jimmy impression, I'll give you that!

Are you Tony Reali?

Wrestling is really hard and sometimes people lose, even the best.

I watched the dual live, it wasn't a TD. Close but you know, hand grenades and stuff.

The check is in the mail.
