  1. I believe that he graduated and is looking for a grad school. Come to Brookings Chris! Coach Hahn can develop guys with the best in the country. Brand new training facility that is top 5 in the country.
  2. If we are talking about these guys at their apex here are a few more that should be considered: John Smith (wrestled 134 in college so would slot into the 141 spot currently), Tom Brands (wrestled 134 in college so would slot into the 141 spot currently), Dan Gable (wrestled 137 so would slot into the 141 or 149 spot)
  3. Chris Cannon in the portal
  4. If you are gonna put Dake at 141 might as well put DT at 165
  5. McKee ain’t in the picture boss man. Unless he wears West Virginia warmups nowadays…
  6. The Hodge trophy is an award that encapsulates Dan Hodges wrestling prowess and character. It makes sense that the award would have some of the "intangible" traits that Hodge had. If a wrestler wants to win the Hodge trophy, they just need to look up the criteria before the season.
  7. Izzak will have 1 year left, correct?
  8. Isn't that Labriola?
  9. 1. Brooks 2. Starrocci 3. O'Toole 4. Vito 5. Carr 6. Alirez 7. Fix 8. Mekhi 9. Kerkvliet 10. Sasso
  10. He did not wrestle at Big 12's
  11. Maybe the most impressive performance dismantling Fix & RBY but definitely not the best NCAA wrestler of the last 10 years when the field contains Kyle Snyder, Dake, DT, Cox, etc.
  12. Congrats to Mason. Hoping he can catch fire internationally and become the US rep. His win over Zare showed the upside he is capable of.
  13. Sammy Sasso deserves to be mentioned. Guy has been tough as nails for years going 2-5-2 at NCAA's.
  14. I am as big of a Lamer fan as anyone - dad Chad was a 3x national champion at SDSU. Not sure that Legend is a title contender at 149 though. Maybe a PAC-12 title but I don't even see that as likely with Parco there.
  15. Yep. It would be clownish if I said that Max Dean was a terrible wrestler - which I did not say and do not think. He’s a great wrestler that happened to benefit greatly from two calls in two separate matches that went his way. I’m not asking him to return his medal, just think that is relevant information to assess his “underperformance” this year.
  16. In honor of Jimmy, guys that were overrated: John Smith, Jordan Burroughs, Cael Sanderson, Dan Gable
  17. Nope. I think Max Dean is an excellent wrestler and a couple hammer on top. He is very talented and has won a ton of high level matches. At NCAA’s last year he was gifted calls in both those matches.
  18. Well that’s just silly.
  19. Tread lightly…
  20. Luck ran out. He was gifted two matches (DePrez and Aiello) at NCAA’s last year.
  21. I think he’s just wrestling fat and happy right now and we see him as a 184 in college. Could be wrong though.
  22. Labriola has a great leg pass
  23. Schlatter’s duck was nasty. When you are the USA GOAT like John smith you are just going to naturally own a couple goat categories.
  24. Would probably fit more accurately in the “someone is going to their back” category. He did a lot of pinning, I don’t think he was pinned much at all if ever.
  25. Randy Lewis
