ozdamirov he won their equivalent to u20 nationals he's pretty nasty.

I'm sure some guys will emerge and there is the chance that ono drops for 2028 but 57kg is pretty terrible right now. Russia has a u20 kid that I think will be better than pavlov, Mongush seems to have grown into a 61. Uguaev,Haryutunyan,abakarov are all up the weight seems like spencers to dominate but I would not be shocked if RBY is one of the best guys especially with his arc of improvement in stillwater. The north korean seems to be very good as well and I am sure whoever reps Japan while Higuchi is off will eb good too.

I on behalf of USA wrestling would like to allow Luke to take the u20 spot. Simply because I want as many golds as possible and I don't think Knox can beat the Russian at least in his current form.

He said in his interview after that he was running a lot the night before to make weight I think 125 was more of a pipe dream at this point.

I think it's worth noting Aman is always better at ranking series events because of the +2kg. He pulls crazy weight to make 57kg. Also, fun note he beat Luke in Lukes first cadet finals.

After watching Cardenas against this field a weight up and comparing that to what Yianni did to him at the open I am a bit more firm that I think PJ is a year or two away from beating Yianni.

Never won a state title, fast forward 1 year and he could be a u23 national champ.

74kg has Cardenas,Caliendo,Brignola,Bianchi,Birden

Jax at u20 trials last year I think.

Who is on the call with JD? I am not a very big fan.

Will be interesting what Daton and Zo can do in the next 40 minutes before match 3 to help Ignacio work around the chest wrap.

Been talking about how I find it crazy he took 4th at trials do you know if its a tough pull for him? I am super high on Rocklin and burnett but they are not Anthony knox.

Ignacio's speed to the leg is insane and he never stops running his feet.

I think its worth noting cadets is 2, 2 minute periods which I think makes a huge difference I also think he looks like a pretty big kid even at 57kg so the cut may have sucked for him.

Does anyone know what u23 weights are even up for grabs? I believe 57-79 at least all have guys that won it through senior open or trials if they want it.

That's fair I guess I should say I think there are a lot of talented guys for their age but Ignacio just lost twice at cadet trials 4lbs lighter. Now he lost to rocklin zinkin who I think is a stud and grey burnett on criteria who won the weight and is also very very good. However watching him kinda kill this field after taking 4th at cadets gives me some pause.

Very true I think that weight is unbelievably weak but still he is cadet eligible and blitzed the field. Really wish Luke wrestled. Knox could bring us a medal but Luke was probably as close of a lock to get gold as you could have and its so hard to know where knox is at with the competition hes had.

Challenge tournament MVP's Dreshaun ross Jayden James Marcus Blaze

that was a terrible call.

feels like dreshaun could have gotten to that leg all match.

Should be a great match Denny has looked awesome as well.

He has not wrestled anyone that is a particularly big 74kg but he himself looks really small still which makes sense he said he was just going to wrestle his walk around weight.

Jayden James is freaky good holy moly.

Agree, Feels like an enormous advantage for the guys sitting out though.

Coby Merrill is a massive individual.
