what program wouldn't take a world champion in the room? seems like a win/win for everyone involved. ono gets a fun american college experience with world class competition in the room and psu gets more recruiting ammunition. maybe he wrestles for the team, maybe not, but that's beyond the benefits already in place for both parties.

1. Blaze 2. Forrest 3. Seidel 4. Davino 5. van Dee (Nebraska has been peaking at NCAAs lately) 6. Fugitt 7. Byrd 8. Frost Bloodround: Larkin, Ayala, Serrano, Berginc

@forkemaz i keep hearing the refs say "action" over and over without actually doing anything. When i watch recent freestyle it feels like they don't much bother with that and just call stalling or passivity on someone. I think that would be preferable to me vs. hearing a ref say "you're stalling" in whatever words over and over without doing anything. as to blaze - i think that would be called stalling at the world level. it seems like a pretty impenetrable stance though, so i see why he gets away with it within current folkstyle rules. borderline stalling to me and the match with devino was kinda boring, even though it was skilled.

didn't feel like the riding was too much of a stall. if anything some of tOSU wrestlers looked like they were making next to no attempt to get up, and trying to get bailed out. slow paced duel overall.

would love to see more of a freestyle approach to stalling at the folkstyle level

have you seen this site for brackets and results? https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1f0f6860-c6d0-6cc4-accc-fb0e739a0b89

This is the highest level of wrestling that 99.9% of wresters will ever be able to participate in full time. Let them have 8 all-americans.

Blaze has strong Daton Fix vibes. I'd take Duke over Jax for now but it's exciting to watch

who will pass the bechtold test?

Sec XI here 98-02! Never was that good but love the sport

For the amount of time I've followed the sport, maybe Cael, Dake, Synder, Brooks? A generation in school terms could be about 5-7 years, or a full college term + redshirt/olympic/greyshirt? so from roughly 2000-2024 that seems doable. edit: added Dake
