He said he did not know how long when asked.

There is heavy speculation that he was still on for that event because once worlds rolled around he was an absolute shell of himself he tech pinned snyder in the same event and then went on to lose 2 of 3 to shabani who had never done anything on the senior level got the nod for the olympics still and lost to olikadze round 1 6-3.

In terms of his international career my immediate thought is that this could have been a bad move for ono. Yes I think he will learn new things and get better. But there is a very real chance that in the coming years his main competition is coming from that room and they will likely have the blueprint on how to beat him.

he spoke about needing a visa and said he will not be back in America for a long time. I want it to be known absolutely nobody is going with this kid on their feet but folkstyle rules will allow good guys to potentially limit the damage. He is incredible and I am sure he will learn fast but I think he is going to have serious issues on the mat at least in year one if he is not training here over the summer and only has the fall to work on that. He is also probably the most scouted wrestler I can think of in recent memory. If you were asking me to pick Blaze vs Ono in folk though I am taking Blaze all day right now. I think guys like Nasir or bouzakis would be able to put up a lot of points on him from the top position as well its just hard to predict a guy that talented and skilled how quickly he can bridge that gap.

I wonder if this has any impact on blaze. I don't really think its a lineup jam either of them can go 133 or 141 the heavier Ono goes the bigger issue on the mat but we shall see.

Not accounting for what they did after and simply what they did in college -DT -Askren -Gable I think that's kind of a tier of their own all 3 won the hodge the two times they won the title.

I think it's naive to think that some guys are not taking some form of PED. I also think it's wrong to make claims based off of someone's appearance though without any real evidence otherwise. I'm sure being an active wrestler though Meyer knows way more than we do about what guys are doing its a tight circle, he also did not say anyone specifically so I don't think we should assume it's someone he lost to. He did not need to make excuses he took 5th a month after being hospitalized for 4 days that's a good enough excuse so I don't see him throwing around accusations simply because he's salty. At the end of the day, testing in the NCAA and especially for wrestling is a joke that probably needs looked into more.

I think Bailey has bi-lateral hand issues. Someone stated he literally cannot close them. If he has surgery or gives them time to heel, I hope we see him back to where he was. I haven't seen him without his hands wrapped since he was in HS. I was not aware Hughes did not go because he could not beat whitcraft I assumed it was concerns about him being able to make weight multiple days in a row. He did have wins over 3 national qualifiers including Fugitt and Spidle who both had very good NCAA tournaments. I am also very bullish on sakomoto after a full off season wrestling folk and time to grow into 133 unless he wants to stay light for international comp. JJ mccomas was a big recruit as well, but I think he could have similar weight issues at 133 that Hughes had. Assuming Jamison goes up and Travis does their only glaring hole will be 174.

Leo deluca is the only incoming freshman next year that could be impactful.

They graduate 157-285 they do have Thompson and Merill coming off Redshirt and Doucet has another year. Travis also likely goes 157. They have Lockett,Vega,Routledge,Robideau who I all think can go right away. Do they sort of punt the year they are losing 74.5 team points from seniors. I think it would hurt their momentum a lot but it could be the best thing for the long run.

most books had a max bet limit around 250 and Wyatt was +900ish and never moved so no big money was coming in on him.

I think thats actually a good point. A much worse wyatt Gutted Mason to oblivion in 2022 at either trials or the open. Mason ended up winning 17-14 but we have seen gable give it up on the mat to geno who I would think wyatt may have beat in par tear so it may just take one takedown. I think Gable is our best guy still especially in freestyle and maybe by a decent margin. It does give me a lot of hope though since Wyatt is training through 2028 that no matter what we will have a guy contending for gold.

Teague travis, Surber, Plott are the only guys that did not improve upon what they did last year and Plotts was essentially just the weight he was competing at and Travis missed almost the entire year. I do not think you could have asked for a better first year from DT and the staff.

What was minto ranked as a recruit?

nebraska is in first stop the count

Nebraska wow

3 really fun matches coming up and a match where one guy only goes forward and one guy only backs up.

wow Joey blaze

I saw a video of them wrestling and they asked Marcus after about it because he seemed super mad Joey took him down. Which made me think it must not happen very often.

Who do we think wins when Joey and Marcus wrestle?

Doweny vs Meyer should be a fun one

Jordan williams is about to upset Henson just a public service announcement.

If jesse shuts it down against Beau like he usually does I am going to be really bummed.

2 majors right? Davis got it at the end.

PSU nearly doubling up second already is absolutely insane.
