would pay decent money to see him and SVN wrestle off for the spot.

I don't think a season's results measure the better wrestler. All weights are relative, you can't exclude the keck win if you are asking who the better wrestler is. If the question was who is having the better collegiate season, I still don't know that I would agree but you would have more of an argument. Kasak had a barn burner with a true freshman from Lehigh if we are calling the Ferrari match "squeaked out".

Going on flow to list a top 4 teams of which he has already decided his pick from is a weird move. He did deny all the insane amounts of money being thrown around though.

I think it's safe to assume Bassett would earn the most NIL to this point given his media presence. It feels like a safe guess to throw out that probably cannot be proven wrong and would farm engagement.

He teched yiannis brother twice in the cadet trials finals and the Elijah went on to get bronze at cadets because of Dreshauns injury only losing to the champ 7-6 (genos brother or nephew). Eli notably lost in the state finals to Ryder 3-0 not a big margin of victory guy but if you want to extrapolate out to current college guys. Someone noted there was nothing related to football in his commitment which I would think may mean he's all in on wrestling now. Not that okie state is not a good football program but that would also make sense as to why he chose there over ISU or Iowa.

I am likely going to look very dumb in about 17 hours but Dreshuan Ross just committed to okie state. There were rumors he and Bassett were going to go to the same school and we have Bassetts announcement tomorrow. okie state seems to be the common pick to land Jax. This could potentially be a changing of the guards at least in recruiting kind you they already have Merrill,Lockett,Robideu,Vega on campus or coming.

that would explain the haste of the decision as well if he wants to quickly change the narrative towards Iowa.

I would guess he goes 149/157 with another year of high school Blaze at biggest feels like 149 towards the end of college to me.

Have to think a recent dual result may have swung him unfortunately. I will be pulling for Okie state but I am leaning PSU given the time of the announcement, Perhaps he really loved the atmosphere at Rutgers though.

My analysis of the match was Angelo is very mat savvy but I feel like we knew that already and he has great single leg defense which if you have watched him at all you knew. I would imagine carter knew that Angelo was really good at going splits off a single and then diving under to leg pass and coming out the back door, he hit carters teammate with that twice at who's 1. After agnelo got in on Carter the first time I think he realized he was probably at little risk of being taken down if he did not over extend himself which I think lead to the match we saw. I give Angelo all his flowers I think he wrestled really well but I think Carter wrestled a smart measured match where he did not force an issue that he did not need to.

-Mendoza -Blaze -Forrest -Larkin -Zepeda -Bassett -Watters -Vega -Davino -Cael Hughes -Aaron Seidel -Jayden Raney -Jordyn Raney -Luke Stanich -Kannon webster these two weights could be absolutely bonkers I am probably forgetting some guys in red shirt that could still be around

I think absolute best case scenario this lineup has 6 AA's and probably nobody top 2 maybe Elam? That may be enough to get on the podium I am not entirely sure. Worst case scenario that lineup could only have Elam AA and to me that's more likely than best case. I do think that Rath,Walker,Mendoza,Sinclair all can and if I were betting will be AA's I'm just not sure how likely it is for 2026. I also think Mendoza Red shirts and then goes 141 he seems to really be growing now.

If top bottom is not a factor in their match I can definitely see Barr coming out on top and maybe even snow balling it. Im not even as much concerned with him not giving up a takedown or two I think he just can't give one up and then get stuck there.

Cardenas has been majored a singular time in his career by Hidlay and seems to be wrestling the best he ever has including his silver at u23's over the summer. If Barr majors him, I would be extremely surprised.

Have any notable Asian wrestlers transitioned to sumo? and do we think the prevalence of sumo culturally is the reason most Asian countries have a huge disparity between upper and lower weight success. I know nothing about sumo, but this was a very cool read.

It seems like a margin of defeat ranking which I know they have never accounted for before so would be wrong to do here. They have puncino at 16. I believe they have historically not dinged people for losses to guys under redshirt or none starters perhaps it's just under red shirt or not attached I know Stanich was not penalized for his forrest lost last year nor was Ramos. If you account for that Block would technically be 2-2 voiding the valencia and Redding losses. Even at that though they are hesitant to rank freshman without a large sample, so you have a guy who is 2-2 no bad losses but has no ranked wins either.

Feel like you keep the same result at 174 and give up 5 for sure then at 165.

Kids a freak, I worry about him almost being too athletic to where its destructive for his body. I think he's on two shoulder surgeries already. There was a bit of smoke that he may go to the same school as Bassett but I don't know if there was any substance to that. He is a Seabolt guy so I would be a bit shocked to see him leave Iowa but who knows.

I believe he was quoting him in his most recent interview or quoting his book

MM for pace was a terrible oversight on my behalf.

did not see the takedown thing I am going 30

I don't expect Barr to go into NCAAs without a loss. How he looks in those losses will dictate If I view him as a contender because I expect him to wrestle his best matches at NCAA's If he's within the margins with Buchannan this weekend or at big 10's he's probably my pick come the tournament. I think it comes down to if he can utilize his pace without giving up a lot early. In the first match with Sinclair, he gave up go behinds clinically for the sake of pushing a pace and generating. I think he's wrestling much smarter now, but we shall see when he wrestles that real top tier at the weight.

I did not think he looked bad against Paniro. He needs a tank for his style though, he seemed as tired or more tired than Paniro at the end. He has great shot entry but does not shoot with a ton of volume. If he increased his volume I think that would go a long way for him.

Think it's worth noting Zahid beat chance 10-0 here it was 3-0 at trials and I don't think chance has lost by Tech since Nohkodi in 22? Chance also tech pinned his way through the tournament, so he seemed to be in good form. Zahid could be in new form in Stillwater.
