Cary Kolat is certainly up there as well, but he was at least able to toe the line.

Spent a lot of time on Pitts campus in undergrad, and grew up near PSU and while the towns/cities they are in are very different I actually think the bulk of the campus is quite similar. PSU's is actually quite a bit more spread out a lot of my friends could not walk from class to class if that had any form of time crunch. I loved Pitt's campus though Oakland is a great place to be.

Is there any chance Firouz can go 86 next year ghas can go 92 and yazzdani 97?

Very true I think I sometimes still perceive Antrell as a 74/165 but he is definitely just a big 157. I think people undersell his growth potential still. He was a pretty good football player in high school, so he has only really been training year around for wrestling for 3 years and has only been at his natural weight for 1.

I really enjoyed when they were doing a free and folk dual, but I think it's the perfect event for seeding pre super 32.

I think being able to train with Brock and Ridge for the next cycle is probably the best situation for him moving forward. V-tech will have Seidel and Henson and then Ohio state has Stieber and Jesse. I think Nebraska probably appeals a bit more though as Jesse will be a legitimate threat whereas ridge will likely be up and not that Brock is not a threat, but they had a sort of competitive match I guess so baking in development that may seem like a better option for him than giving Jesse a lot of feels.

I think he will just need to avoid putting on weight because his body is going to be a sponge from being in such a restricted state for so long. I think that is what happened to levi once he decided 157 was no longer an option. u23's could actually benefit him in that he wont have much time to get big involuntarily. I more so worry about the pull coupled with the grind of the season if his body just is not able to recover properly as the season winds on.

A lot has been made about PJ's weight and that this is the only year he can go 157. I was doing some trackwrestling digging and saw that in January of his Junior year he weighed in at 161.4, I do not assume he was cutting at all but one would presume a 17 year old did some growing to 19 year old. That also made me wonder about how often hes been making 70kg or 154. If he wrestles u23's he will have done 6 2 day weigh ins at 70kg and 1 single day between mid April and mid October. Now that's nothing like a college season but it leads me to assume hes been making at least 1 or 2 hard pulls a month for 6-7 months. That in and of itself is not super concerning but then he will go straight from u23's into the college season where he is going to make 157 for another 5 months. For a kid that is presumably still growing even with the best team around him it seems very difficult to hold your weight down for essentially an entire year. Perhaps the cut is not even that bad and it wont really matter but it was just something that I was thinking about and wanted to get others thoughts.

there was a of sotiev kinda dogging him in training "probably means nothing" but it was enough to give me some hope that Azarpira still stands a chance.

I think u23's may cost him his 4th who's 1 title :[

we get to sleep in an hour!

did you see him blatantly lie about kevin jackson interviewing for the IMG job?

I think that great reduces the chance of kids flipping
