Gus

Thats what I was wondering also. Make Ghas generate his own offense. Live and learn.

Mat C now

Imagine that guy squeezing your rib cage… ouch

Kadiev shooting himself out of the match… Reattack td and turn 5-4 ghas

Iran won challenge 4-1 Kadiev now

Ghasempour on the ropes against Kadiev 7-3 (Kadiev) - 1:28 left Iran challenging

Quick work for Zahid! Trap arm gut 10-0 35 seconds

97kg Gold- Tazhudinov Silver- Snyder Bronze- Azarpira Bronze- Matcharashvili

Are VT and Ohio state in the mix for Bassett now?

I have them both taking second in my predictions. Ghassempour is a tank. It will be fun to see how Zahid Valencia matches up against him if they should meet.

Predictions will be biased for team USA. 57kg Gold- Spencer Lee Silver- Harutyunyan Bronze- Aman Bronze- Mekhtikhanov 61kg Gold- Uguev Silver- Abakarov Bronze- Suda Bronze- Forrest 65kg Gold- Amouzad Silver- Kiyooka Bronze- Sujeet Bronze- Rivera 70kg Gold- Kaipanov Silver- Yazdani Bronze- Kazyryk Bronze- Gomez 74kg Gold- Sidakov Silver- Valiev Bronze- Carr Bronze- Takahashi 79kg Gold- Nokhodi Silver- Usmanov Bronze- Gamkrelidze Bronze- Haines 86kg Gold- Valencia Silver- Ghasempour Bronze- Kadimagomedov Bronze- Kadiev 92kg Gold- Firouzpour Silver- Hidlay Bronze- Kurugliev Bronze-Maisuradze 97kg Gold- Tazhudinov Silver- Sadulaev Bronze- Azarpira Bronze- Snyder 125kg- Gold-Zare Silver- Hendrickson Bronze- Meshvilidishvili Bronze- Sharipov

A lot of young hammers at 184 (Ferrari, Welsh, Sinclair, Ryder). It will be fun to watch!

Does this mean Rademacher goes 285?

It's a big promotion to go from recruiting coordinator to assistant coach.

He got admitted into Iowa this week.

Speculation on my part. He’s not very tall but he is thick.

Minny fans have got to be looking for Hopke to take control of this battle.

I imagine he will go down if Jordan Williams is going 157. Unless there is an agreement to stay in a different weight class than his brother.

133- (SDSU) Derrick Cardinal vs Logan Swensen 141- (OSU) Cael Hughes vs Tagen Jamison, (OU) Alex Braun vs Tyler Wells 149- (SDSU) Alek Martin vs Avery Allen, (Iowa) Kael Voinovich, Victor Voinovich, Ryder Block, Miguel Estrada, (Cornell) Jaxon Joy vs Ethan Fernandez 157- (UNC) Sonny Santiago vs Laird Root 174- (Iowa) Patrick Kennedy vs Gabe Arnold 184- (UNI) John Gunderson vs CJ Walrath 197- (tOSU) Seth Shumate vs Luke Geog 285- (OU) Juan Mora vs Bradley Hill

Scoles is fun to watch. Never out of a match. He starts the year ranked #9 by Flo.

10-4. Then I think I would take out Cornella at 141 and swap in Mendoza. I will add Kyler Larkin to 133

Probably not a title contender yet. Feldman worked him in the dual last year. I think he will be firmly behind Ferrari, Trumble, Bastida, Ghadiali to start the year. Feldman was a tough matchup for him. He will be in a tier of about 10 guys (Kueter, Feldman, Taylor, Luffman, Pitzer, Mullen, Doucet, Amos, Catka, Hopke) pushing to make the podium.

He looked like a full sized 70kg (154lb) this summer. He's a beast.

I have no real gripes with any of your assessment. I fully expect Mesenbrink & Levi Haines to win. I think LL and Barr are clear favorites. 125 is deep (Robinson, Sprately, Volk, Ventresca, Seymour, etc) but LL looked so good this summer. 197 lacks depth and one of Barr's toughest competitors will be his teammate, Mirasola. Unless someone talks a big leap forward, it is hard to see anyone beating Barr. Right now I would favor Henson over SVN but it's a coin flip. 157 is gonna be a dog fight for PJ to make the starting lineup and then he will battle the likes of Antrell Taylor, Meyer Shapiro, Daniel Cardenas, etc. Would I be surprised to see PJ win that weight class? Nope. He's that good but folkstyle is a different ballgame than freestyle and there is a learning curve to mat wrestling, especially considering that he will be focused on freestyle leading up to the world championships. Same thing for Blaze at 133 as it is for PJ at 157, expect that 133 is even deeper → Crookham, Byrd, Ayala, Davino, Fuggitt, Figueroa, Frost, Ragusin, Shawver, etc..
