I would certainly agree he is a none factor at 74 at this juncture but if he made 65 and felt ok I think he would do very well.

I think Meyer is trying to grow into being a 74kg guy its part of the reason he went 157 instead of 149. I would also imagine he does not want to be competing against yianni for a spot they seem super close. I saw someone on here say cox may go heavyweight so he does not have to cut. I'm not sure if there is any validity to that but I would certainly be interested. Chance beat the world runner up at 79kg and 92 at the last ranking series at 86 so im guessing hes feeling pretty comfortable there. As for nashon and desanto I believe 65 is their only realistic option. The main canidates to go down seem to be suriano,vito,fix and then zain to 65 and carter to 74. Those two seem like insane cuts to me but both have legit shots if they can do it and still be effective.

KOT winning 74 would be shocking but I give it a slight chance the guy he body bagged in u23 finals just took third at the European championships and is ranked 5th in Russia. Trumble has had a lot of success as of recently notably really pushing the Iranian that handled Snyder pretty soundly.

57 - Vito (this weight is hard to predict I think at his best hes certainly our best guy but we've not seen him at his best at this weight) 65 - Alirez (after teching Haji and beating beau without giving up a point I'm sold) 74 - Dake (I think O' toole may give him fits) 86 - DT (very excited for trent and brooks as well as zahid) 97 - Snyder (interested to see the trumble and cox matchups) 125 - Kerk I hope because I think he matches up best with Zare

Hm: chance marsteller

he lost 6-7 to Sidakov this year and beat mark hall at the same tournament that Trent beat him and then Trent went on to beat Dieringer im not sure if you were trying to discredit what beating kentchadze means 86 is not his optimal weight ill give you that but hes still damn good regardless. Trent also did it in the middle of the folkstyle season. edit: Dieringer being the guy that beat Starocci last year that probably means more to you than anything given your posting history.

yiannis is "have some nuts" which went viral after he beat sasso in the semis and they asked how he can improve upon his performance essentially. I think the context is very different at least to me.

tactical circling and using your resources!!

Awesome post you articulated my points much better than I did, Trent's offense has expanded a ton I think it's certainly a two-horse race it just depends on if he's narrowed the margin enough to give himself a shot or not.

I know it seems unlikely given the man at the top of his weight class, but if trent were to beat aaron at NCAA's I think he has as strong of a case as anyone for the hodge aside from maybe keegan going undefeated at 165. He has a 85.71% bonus rate and will have 29/30 wins if he were to beat brooks including a very strong SOS. Just something i have not seen mentioned and I believe he has jumped levels enough to beat Aaron im not sure but I think it will definitely be a match.

his senior year he took 7th at super 32 I just think he developed quite late which seems to be a common think with AWA guys. I follow High school wrestling quite closely and knew nothing about him until he beat haines for the u20 spot.

im quite excited for chance vs brooks as well chance has wrestled much much better at 86 thank I anticipated

don't think thats a takedown but thats a match truax can win had at least 3 all but takedowns

lenny pinto is a ***ducking** horse

I cannot see him being effective at that weight but if he is he will threaten for the spot for sure

Taylor would be wrestling 157 if not for probb he wrestled 154 or 70kg for u20's

Meyer has been my pick all year but that pace Levi is putting on makes me feel less than confident about it.

Levi is tough as nails

if they win this challenge

what a terrible call lol

brock hardy with a chance to make this dual real interesting

was really excited for JVD vs nagao they wrestle super similar on their feet

people seem to have figured out Davis's neutral game

yeah 7-6 I meant he also beat Carter young 15-2 and although hes also had varied success I think Carter young is quite good although inter squad matchups which are hard to take anything away from.

do we think JW cuts too much he looks so slick and complete at times and its hard for me to wrap my head around him beating Teague and majoring young but losing to WM who is solid but just not those guys
