Hot take, I think Bo announces he's going to Oklahoma state and says something along the lines of "and someone is coming with me" and Jax runs over with an Okie state hat on.

the only thing I could think about when seeing this picture is that coach freeman looks like he can bench a house.

Was a bit surprised to not hear anything about kaleb unless when he mentioned his brothers had knee surgeries that was what he was talking about. Kid has a real gift for editing.

This match will be in Johnstown, the rest of the state tournament will be in Altoona this weekend. edit: Saturday they will likely wrestle FCA in the state finals which is essnetially the team dual national finals 1 and 2 in the nation should be a must watch.

I did not really feel like he could generate against Buchannon he seemed to struggle with his length, the bout seemed to take place primarily at the range Buchannon wanted it to. He also struggled to push the same pace he had in other matches and seems at least for the time being to be at a disadvantage on the mat. I felt very similarly about this match that I did with the Keck vs Carter match. Would I be shocked if the result flipped? not really but I would not predict it.

over under 73.5 kid was chatting away doing that versa climber in the flow vid.

Rby will have to beat Deshazer in his quarter which I honestly don't know that I favor him in but if he does that, we will get him vs spencer in the semis. discuss

I think he would be best served to avoid cutting much weight because of how he trains and his pace/style. Feels like any meaningful weight cutting could really bite him with his training right now that I think for most people would absolutely cause them to be in an over trained state.

Mccrone/Kilkeary, Davino/Bouzakis, Mendez, Gallagher, Cannon, Welsh, Feldman all have a shot to AA next year. I think they are doing fine certainly need to go pretty hard on the 2026 and 2027 classes though.

hit list last two years: Jax: Lilledahl,Knox,Tomasello,Blaze,Stanich,Deshazer,Strickenberger,Seidel,Mendoza,Volk,Both Raneys,Cronin,(5-4 loss to gillman) Duke hit list: Lockett,Lewan,Thomas,Andonian,Jacques,Bouzakis Blaze hit list: Forrest,Lilledahl,Megaludis,Fix,Gross,Garrett,Ramos,Davino,Bailey,Deluca Bassett: Valencia,Ashnault,Zepeda Not detracting from Bo he never loses I think all the other 3 guys have domestic losses in the last two or so years (dukes last one was the ironman finals to kasak I think) I do not think the upper level wins are comparable at all though especially with Blaze and Jax.

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.
