I wonder if it will be Pat Santoros fault if Crookham were to hurt his knee because he seemingly voluntarily subluxes it every time someone gets a head inside single on him.

I often look at freestyle results as a predictor for college results, but two things results that always give me some skepticism are carter youngs third place at the world team trials in 2021 and Carson kharchla teching mehki during one of those covid rtc things. Im sure there are other examples.

The most I've ever tracked and routinely consumed was about 4800 and I had to train after my first meal, or I would feel too sluggish, and my training was just lifting. I imagine it would be extremely difficult to eat 6k calories of relatively whole food (I'm sure he's using some olive oil with each meal and some dextrose drink after each workout which could probably get you between 1k-1500 liquid calories a day). It's sort of his job and I'm sure they have great nutritionists to help but between class and workouts It would be the rest of his day that he is dedicating to eating/prepping food because 5k calories of relatively whole foods is a beast to get down.

Hearing how little of his wrestling life he spent sober, I truly think he has to be one of if not the most gifted sport specific athletes to ever walk this earth, Incredible film and very happy for him that he's overcome everything I think it shows that everyone deserves a second and in some cases, maybe even a third chance (to an extent)(no pun intended).

Wick pinned him for 3/4 in 2018 but also in the quarters in 2019 both by cradle.

I think this will be easier to speak on after the next year of freestyle.

One thing I wanted to add if there was any truth to what Mineo said about the wrestle off. We now have two data points where Josh Barr in a short period fo time was able to make some pretty crazy adjustments. The Sinclair matches and now this. If that were all to be true I would not be betting against Barr when he gets a second crack against guys.

Unfortunately for Facundo I would imagine every practice and every workout for him right now is worrying about getting and keeping the weight off rather than improving his wrestling. Kasak is growing into the weight and probably getting a bit sharper every day. On top of that you have potentially an even better 157/165 coming in and at least one more year where you can't make the lineup at 165/174 after this year. Its in the teams best interest for him to stay down at 157 incase something happens and maybe he even earns the spot but I think for him it would be best to go up in weight and use this time to train with the guys in that room and then transfer next year... maybe back home?

Ramos has been absolutely lights out to start the year, seems like hes just letting his offense go now. Those two are my finals pick but I'm giving the edge to ramos for now.

I disagree with the Kasak facundo situation because I dont really think they value the RS that much with the guys they have coming in. With the Teemer and Shapiro Injuries I also think Kasak can win the entire thing while also offering a much higher floor than Facundo.

Everyone brings up the Slav win which was awesome, but they always fail to mention that he lost to Cardenas 13-6 and Beard 20-6. The Barr match was also 2-1 with 40 seconds to go and cochran was in on a shot that I will say Barr maneuvered out of masterfully. As far as the Mirasola win goes I think it more so shows that he is not where I thought he would be coming out of high school. Sinclair teched him at senior trials and then sinclair went on to lose to Andy smith pretty badly so I think we may have had too high of expectations for those guys. I do think Barr is absolutely in contention to AA but with as deep as 197 is this year I am not placing him high on my podium at least not yet.

Looks like with Beau mans injury Brock may be going this year he just majored #16 Nick hamilton and only has a loss to max brignola who is on RS as of this moment but looks like an AA contender. could be a very weird situation if Beau man gets a medical where his younger brother runs out of eligibility before him but also poses the question could brock man already be better than big brother?

Not sure if there was ever any confirmation on what Mineo reported but if there was not after watching the Black knight im going to go out on a limb and say he was lying.

I truly do not know if I have watched a cam steed match where he did not take injury time. Really a shame because he looked stellar in that first period. On the bright side I think you guys got good ones with Walker and Sinclair.

Agree with that for sure but I think it can be person to person. Facundo seemed like a pretty lean guy at 74kg. My worry would be that even if he gets close to a set point around 157 and the cut is not necessarily brutal he may lose strength and muscular endurance as the season goes on just because his body is eating itself because he's so lean and also expending so much energy.

If Facundo won the wrestle off and its just a matchup thing and he gets the better of him again at Black knight I think you go with Facundo unless he proves that he just cannot get it done against the rest of the field. The weight cut more than likely only gets harder as the year goes on... unless you're Levi Haines.

I know Hayden sucked a ton of weight and Sean fausz was rumored to get up to 160 and suck down to 125 so seems to be sort of common there. Camacho obviously seems to be pulling a lot of weight too.

I would put Davis as a decent underdog to Shawyver but I am really hoping to see that match have you seen anywhere about all the teams attending?

Nasdeo wrestled his grey shirt last year at 125 and I believe 57kg this summer I think he was probably very undersized for 141. Garcia beat Davis at the US open this year, so he is probably not a bad option if nothing else.

I believe Joe and Matt took a gap grey shirt after HS I'm not sure they skipped their senior seasons.

I believe Delsignore majored Berge last year but I could be miss remembering I know at the time I thought it was a great get for Little rock.

Oh, I think he is worth it in comparison to what others got; I just doubt the team would want people aware of the numbers because kids will expect more during recruiting then.

Probably because people will believe that, and parents will expect their kids to at least get a decent fraction of that.

We could get to see Kasak vs Facudno and Barr vs Cochran at the black knight this weekend. kasak and Beau hit last year there as well as evans and Kasak I believe. TB and MM also wrestled there so that could be a defacto wrestle off.

They actually wrestled the same bracket, Vince forfeited to Jaydon in the semis and went on to take third.
