I would love to see a semi functional Nic bouzakis at 125. I also cannot unsee Mccrone backpacking Kilkeary in the wrestle off and I am not sure that is going to change. Birden needs to develop some offense, if he does, he could be really good.

If they have Greco aspirations, they should go to Illinois if they want to do both or freestyle, they should probably go to Iowa if its only between those two. The main argument is Iowa burns people out and breaks their bodies down. There is definitely a lot of examples to point to that. Jordyn is coming off an ACL tear so you could look at it like Spencer has had 3 tears don't go there... or who better to train with and learn from than a guy who has gone through it multiple times and nearly gotten back to the pinnacle of the sport. Also, bringing those two in with Mocco and Bassett + likely 4 years of Deluca makes them a title contender and that would be a great thing for them to be a part of. Not that Illinois could not contend for a podium spot with them, but they certainly will not have the bullets in the chamber or the funds to buy ammunition that Iowa has.

A fellow tennis fan! cheers sir.

Ono vs Crookham or Ono vs Hardy depending on weight both guys will test how he adapts to folk. Lockett vs Caliendo and if he wins that Messenbrink Duke vs Kasak at black knight Ryder vs welsh Vrob vs Lilledahl Blaze vs Mendez Facundo vs Haines

Beat Merrill and Mcdaniel (once by tech) and went 6 minutes with Atimukhan (senior world champ) all as an 18 year old over the summer. I think he was still growing into the weight as a true freshman I am expecting huge things this year. His best win in folk to this point is probably Merrill 4-2 but as mentioned that's more takedown than Buchannen got against Merrill. Credentials wise he is not there, but I think he may be in terms of trajectory.

The correct answer was... Nowhere.

I think he was a top 10 recruit for that entire class and only qualified once which was when he was round of 12 I know he had a lot of injury issues though.

He and his brother were two of the bigger flame outs I can remember. Keshawn hayes is also up there.

They gave Zo the head RTC job I assume that may be why he left.

down goes sidakov 4-2 Valiev.

Using a gym term but I don't think they do "junk volume". Seems like they are very efficient in the work they do.

My thought process behind this is that it sounds like he trained with Ryder a lot and obviously use to train with David a ton. I was wondering if he would want to continue training at NLWC with those guys gone as well as having Carter likely gunning for the 86kg spot. Obviously Zahid will be as well and as of now I would expect Zahid to be the tougher match but that may not be true in 3 years. If he opts to go 79 into 86 I think training with zack,David,Dee,Brayden,Zahid,Facundo may be a bit better for him with NLWC bringing in Rocco who likely goes 79 at least until the olympic year. The more I type and think about it the more I feel like moving probably does not make a ton of sense besides getting back some familiar partners as well as some new ones. For his weight though I feel like Stillwater may have more options right now than happy valley at least assuming he goes up with no change in weigh in rules.

Japan goes live for an hour and thats pretty much the entirety of their practices you just go with a lot of different partners. At least from what Spencer said when he was over there.

Kadi vs Ramazonov I believe is a rematch of a 79kg russian nats bout back in the day which I believe Kadi won.

United world wrestling then go to events

Didn't Paniro major Cannon at 165? Maybe he has more juice there.

Baev smoked him and looked very good all tournament.

PJ,Bouzakis,Shaw,Robideau all entered at 70kg in the last 24 hours that may be the weight of the tournament for seniors and juniors.

same situation at 141 as 157 to me I think they have guys that can go in and do fine maybe even low AA, but their true freshman may just be the best option referring to Vega.

I think there is a real world where Robideau is there best guy for 157 next year. That kid is really really good I think he gets a little overshadowed by the rest of the 2025 class.

I think it is possible Jamison's output increases a lot without having to pull as much weight as he does. I think his strength will likely also translate just looking at Levi this year. If you aren't glycogen depleted for months, you're going to be stronger.

I did not hit puberty until I was going into my senior year, I wrestled Austin at a dual camp in 9th grade and then trent my Sneior year. I wrestled 106,106,126,160.

Either Austin Desanto or Trent Hidlay... Neither went well for me.

did I miss elam to Iowa?

U17: 45kg: I think your front runners are Keegan Bassett, Ace Chittum and Kooper Deputy. Chittum just ran rough shot through the journeyman field but Bassett is going to be my pick here. While some may think he had a down year he ended up taking 4th in a tough field at PA states and as evident by him still wrestling 99lbs here was extremely undersized. 48kg: Frontrunners are Chase Karenbauer, Ariah mills, Michael Rundell, Sean Kenny. I am really high on mills and Kenny. I think that Karenbauer has a bit more of a proven track record to this point so he is probably my pick however it is worth noting that Rundell won fargo juniors last year at 100lbs but it was a pretty weak weight. 51kg: This is a fun weight. Schwab boys, Justin Farnsworth, Sammy Sanchez lead the way for me. I am expecting a Sanchez Farnsworth final with Sanchez coming out on top. I think he is one of the most talented kids at u17's which is pretty obvious he is the defending world champ. 55kg: I think some people may see this weight as Paul Kenny next topic. I personally think Grey burnett is going to give him a run for his money. Burnett has a crazy motor to contrast Kennys slickness. I am going to go out on a limb and pick Burnett here but either guy I think has a great shot at gold at worlds. 60kg: I think Myers and Corbin are ahead of the field here and would be a rematch of the fargo semis last year. I am going with Corbin despite falling in that match last year. I feel like he is going to make a lot of noise this off season he seems to be growing into his body and he has always had the skill. 65kg: I would be surprised if Noah Bull did not win this weight he is very very good. He could meet fellow Utah native Austin ellis in the finals. 71kg: This weight is Jayden James next topic but Jayden O farril took 4th at PA states probably 3 weights above where he should be and Eli Esguerra is super tough as well. 80kg: Aaron stewart being u17 eligible still is insane he is going to be a man amongst boys here. I Have not input at 92 or 110 they both seem to be very shallow weights right now as far as who is registered. U20: Ok this is more of my bread and butter 57: This weight is sick. Immediate inclination is to pick Knox but I think Raney can absolute win this. I thought the cut may be too much for him but he is registered for 55kg for greco so I am not as worried about that now. Munaretto I just do not think is there as far as strength and physical maturity goes yet. Kilkeary, Lauridsen, Ramirez seem like the biggest landmines to me. Lauridsen took down and gutted RBY last summer, Ramirez is coming off a great showing at the dapper Dan and Kilkeary is always game. I think knox will have a chip on his shoulder here but I think I am going with a Lauridsen Raney final with Raney coming out on top I dont know call me crazy. 61: This weight is nuts and could get even crazier should Davino and Blaze double dip for juniors and seniors. As of now I think your front runners are Jax,Larkin,Seidel. Jax has wins over both in Folk however I think Larkin is a bit better at Free than he is folk. Jax is still my pick and I will go over seidel I just think he has looked awesome since fargo last year. Kellen wolbert and Sam herring down at 61 will be fun to see Wolbert was all the way up at 150 at points this year. 65: Bassett,Zepeda,Vega,Stanich,Manville,Grajeda,Bouyssou,Perry,Gorman,Ninninger,Askew. This weight is absolutely loaded I am on record that I think Vega can beat Bassett and I thought he was my pick. Then Stanich entered and that really threw me. I am going to take Stanich but any of those 3 guys can absolutely win this weight. Stanich I think holds up in the handfight with bo better than anyone but Vega does some things that just do not make sense. Grajeda I believe is first year u20 eligible and is super super fun to watch so check him out as well. 70: Front runners here to me are Gaj,Miller,Wasilewski,Joy and I think I am going with Melvin. Gaj's style place much better in folk I think. He will let guys in on his legs which may give him trouble here. Joy is coming off of an insane redshirt season but he did not hit any super good guys so I cannot put him ahead of Wasilewski as of yet. Melvin and Joy split last year and while both certainly got better I think Melvin may have improved just a bit more and thats why I am going with him here. Any of those 3 guys I would not be shocked at all if they took it and if PJ double enters then he is the guy. 74: Catrabone,Denny,Millard are the guys to watch for me here. Millard really impressed me this season and I like him more in free than I do catrabone. 79: Brock man that is all 86: Max over Ryder in the finals if Ryder enters. If not Max over Waters but Max by a wide margin 92: light field I will take Sonny sasso 97: Again light field but a winner we should feel good about his medal odds with Rademacher. 125: Crazy weight at the top with Hopke,Mocco,Merrill,Ross I am going with Ross with zero conviction I just think he has gifts that were meant for wrestling with his ability to move and arm length. @Husker_Du let me know what the brain thinks
