2021 AJF

Coleman Scott is a high school and college wrestling legend. And he has an Olympic bronze medal. He is a great hire as interim and will be a great hire as head coach if they go that route.

Stewart and Fishbach were redshirt freshman. If I had to guess I think we see Ferrari, Davino, Hopke, Ryder, Seally, Sinclair, Mantanona, Manville all redshirt. Out of the group mentioned above I think the best chances of guys wrestling are Lilledahl (legit title contender at 125) and Merrill (I think he’s a day one AA contender. Based on team need, size and such I think the rest of the guys are more likely to redshirt. It’s possible that if Nelson brands doesn’t come back that Angelo could go for Iowa as a true freshman.

I don’t always grab ahold of a leg from the top position on the edge of the mat in a stalling position but when I do I wait for the ref to count to 4 before I swisher my feet out of bounds to avoid a stalling call and get a restart.

He is flying under the radar so much that he is the #2 overall recruit in his class behind Marcus Blaze and in front Anthony Knox, Dee Lockett, William Henckel, etc.

John Smith is a legend of the sport. One of the best to ever do it.

Maybe he is moving to a house with a more established weight room.

Shawver looked like a smaller 133 last year to me.

I guess it should not be surprising considering all the things that people will do to get in the spotlight but this is certainly uncommon in our sport.

This girl literally made up that he killed her dog, made up that Penn State reached out to her, has no remorse... She seems like a complete nutcase.

Okay, that makes sense. Cunningham is quickly rising. Will be interesting to see if he rises to the level of some of the other recruits that they are bring in like Sealy, Ryder, Mirasola, etc.

What exactly makes Cunningham the strongest kid at any weight class he enters?

Yes. My point being that being an undefeated 4x national champ is an insane expectation

Also a possibility that Brooks has a strength advantage. He looked massive and pushed Trent Hidlay around very effectively with that underhook. I favor DT but Brooks wrestled him tough last year and looks better than ever right now.

Fair enough. He also looked significantly bigger than Morgan McIntosh who I could qualify as a full sized 86kg.

To me he looked big at 86kg. He looked significantly bigger than Brands.

Teching Brands, Lujan and Foca is no joke. Will be interesting to see how he fits in with Keck and Voelker.

I was very surprised to see someone other than Jordan Wood win this bracket. I thought he was head and shoulders above the rest but I was clearly wrong.

Jax Forrest is really, really good but we can’t forget that he just lost to another high schooler (that is not particularly highly ranked) a month or so ago. He also has dropped some other matches over the last couple of years. His style is wide open offense and he is likely to be a point scoring machine at the next level. He will be fun to watch. Seems like a great kid as well.

Carroll’s go behind when he was in that chest wrap position in the finals was a thing of beauty.

Who is this Gunderson cat at 86kg?

Holy crap Jax Forrest 10-0 tech over Nato

Kolozdik smokes Bassett 10-0

Agreed that it is super lame. Carrol showed that French lover what America is all about. In all seriousness Carrol looked really good.
