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.

opening spread is PSU -20 for anyone interested I was on a heater until Okie state Iowa state last night. If any word comes out on Drake missing PSU -20 is probably easy.

in regard to both the Parco and Cruz picks. Cruz just beat Nicolar Rivera who just beat Dean Peterson and is 3-0 second semester with two top 15 wins. Parco, I know is 0-2 against Shayne but one can argue he is in the best form he has been this year, and both of those matches were close (I know the all-star match score was wide, but it was off one move). I don't think either outcome is that outlandish to predict I recognize both the Iowa guys are underdogs though just spicing up the picks a bit.

125: Joey cruz stays hot 3-0 Iowa 133: Ayala hits a slide bye 6-0 Iowa 141: Beau gets a cradle with 40 seconds left in what was a one score match and gets the fall 6-6 149: Parco loses the takedown battle but snags a tilt to win 5-4 9-6 Iowa 157: Kasak gets a lot of stall calls 9-9 165: Caliendo gets the first two takedowns and then the wheels fall off, but the early action was enough to keep it to a decision 12-9 174: Haines actually wrestles Arnold but it makes no difference 15-9 184: starocci wrestles Angelo and pushes for the major but cannot get it 18-9 197: Buchanan slows down the train of momentum in the dual and for Barr (its not very competitive but a decision) 18-12 285: Kerk decision 21-12

I believe they are out today tickets that is

Ive decided a solution for how Ohio State can win it, mind you it can also result in them losing by a very large margin Mccrone: 125 Davino: 133 (I think he still has a date) Bouzakis: 141 (I think he can beat Block but he is going to be much much smaller Mendez: 149 (I think Mendez can go up and win this one despite the size discrepancy rest of the weights chalk I think this gives them their best shot at the first 4 weights Feldman should win and 174 they can win as well they will still have to dodge big bonus at potentially 165 and 197

Maybe just an off match but feels like Nashon may be nearing the end. Marcus is outstanding but he showed very little life in that match, and then to get teched by a guy Devan turner beat.

Cam Steed a kid with a ton of upside has 42 career collegiate matches. 7 of those matches have ended via Injury or DQ (16.7% thats 5% higher than Will lewans career bonus rate). I have watched a bit of Cam but not a ton does he just do insane stuff all the time to put him or his opponent at risk?

9-6 they actually hit in the quarters, some of the seeding was terrible.

2025 Yarygin Wrestling Tournament Brackets & Results - FloWrestling courtesy of @Jon_Kozak quick link to brackets and results RBY looked good and seemed to be far more offensive in my eyes. He blew a lead in his quarterfinal match and got tripped up by the refs foot it seems with about 4 seconds left to lose whilst backing up. I think he could have won his semifinal match and potentially even the final. Pavlov took second at russian nationals and is the finalist on the top side but Lilledahl has beaten him the last two years at junior worlds. Tough way to go out for RBY but I think a lot of good thinks to take away from this. uguev vs mehktikanov: I believe is a russian nationals finals rematch, both guys appear to be the class of the weight. I was interesting to see how uguev looked here, the general consensus after worlds seemed to be he was no longer at the height of his powers. I'm not sure if that's because Ono and Vito beat him quite soundly but judging how he's looked here I'd say he's at least 85-90% of what he was at his best. 70kg: Watch Baev Etermirov in the second round insane match. Baev has a really odd setup for a snatch single its almost like a miss direction snatch single its very cool. Baev vs Kapynov final, I am not familiar with Kapynov but he looked ouststanding against Shiraev who is super super dangerous. Baev to me has always been a top 3 guy when hes at 70kg so he would be my pick but should be a good one.

if his power translates, I just don't know who is staying on the mat with him. I guess the spencer match will be a good gauge.

I am not entirely aware of what GlP-1's do for metabolism I know they slow gastric emptying and curb appetite which of course greatly aids in weight loss. In the grand scheme of things though its simply replacing someone's discipline for lack of a better term. I would imagine it helps with sleep and feeling uncomfortable when you are starving which would be a big benefit. I do believe the compound was derived from growth hormone which I know is extremely difficult to test for because of its half-life which would lead me to believe glp's are the similar although they do require less frequent administration so perhaps, they are more detectable.

will be an interesting gauge for PJ duke. He dogged andonian after the first 30 seconds and Gomez is an olympian so if Andonian can go with him in freestyle it makes you wonder.

if he walks around at 64kg 7kg of water manipulation is not insane but would certainly be miserable.

hopefully he can find what works for him. Obviously a super talented wrestler seems to have not just been able to find the right environment and maybe even weight.

I doubt they beat out either team but the 2021 Iowa team I think had Lee,Eierman,kemerer,Eierman seeded 1 and desanto and cass seeded 3 it probably falls off a cliff a bit after that though.

Have not read through the thread just wanted to say in a recent interview Cael mentioned likely not taking part in such event. I think if he maintains that stance its really going to hurt the legitimacy of the event, don't get me wrong I am still very excited it's just hard to get pumped for an event when far and away (for the time being... I hope) 1 team is not partaking.

Peterson has been a rollercoaster this season. He started the year losing to Sagaris and then looking like he may get teched by v rob before he defaulted. When he returned though he was money beating Mcgowan (who I think is going to be an absolute threat in March he just needs mat time), Moran twice and Mccrone most recently 11-4. After the McCrone match though he loses to Nicolar Rivera who is good but not a guy I would pick to AA maybe blood round. All that to say I thought Dean could maybe knock off Luke a week ago but now I am far less confident, will be a fun style matchup though.

I believe it's considered "emoting" on someone.

I don't know him I'm not trying to attack his character. I would think when you are as gifted at he is to where he's been able to do a sport in season and be better than 99% of people that are probably dedicating their entire life to that singular sport, It may be hard mentally to adapt to now allocating more time than you ever have to a single sport and having less success (relative to the level he is at) than he had previously allocating far less time to it. I could be extremely off base it just seems like the ability he has despite maybe being a little undersized is not meeting expectations.
