  1. With him moving up to HWT I think he'll have more success, I mean didn't he wrestle 220 pounds as a freshman in high school? That cut to 197 was brutal for him if I had to guess, his greco background helps more at HWT too. Not a "must get" but a 7-12 ranking range heavyweight is realistic.
  2. Rutgers and Oklahoma State, what's the other school?
  3. Quite frankly a lot of folkstyle wrestlers peak around their redshirt soph year or so, then they are at the same level the rest of their career. Scouting is a huge factor in that, people know your best moves in neutral and from top and avoid those. After that it's better TD defense and ability to ride for those wrestlers, you can list dozen of AAs in a similar boat this year if being honest. Fix isn't alone in that regard, though I'd say he definitely got better on top later on in his career.
  4. There needs to be a penalty for a lost review and ref imposed reviews need to go away since they get goaded into it by prominent coaches. The Ayala "coach review after the ref review" was flat out absurd, what a terrible product for the fans. We need to cut the # of review by 2/3rds with whatever changes necessary. If you can't do that, scrap it altogether.
  5. Get rid of them, they have done more harm than good.
  6. Concur with everyone, so much to do near the arena and it was a fantastic venue. Getting in and out of the venue was easy, as was trying to pee after the session when 293874398789 other people need to do the same. No crazy lines for food or drink, etc etc. Heck, even Ubers after sessions wasn't too bad - we had a BRUTAL wait in the cold in Tulsa that forced me to drive there and deal with parking the rest of the trip.
  7. Pretty sure Gomez and I had some epic battles in Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting there in the 90s, he played a mean Dee-Jay IIRC.
  8. Gomez wins it for Galaxy World Arcade
  9. I want to say Nick Simmons made a similar (or maybe the exact same) decision against Nickerson in Nickerson's freshman year.
  10. Yep: https://mat-talk-online.sellfy.store/p/the-guide-2024/
  11. Worth mentioning too that Deakin actually started college at 149 and beat Yanni in free at 66kg (145) during that time.
  12. That might have been it, total deer in headlights look. Surprised he wrestled the final and seems like he shouldn't have.
  13. I was shocked Williams finished the match, he looked scared and said something like my arm is broken after the injury. Just laid there stunned...
  14. JB looks REAL skinny, hope he can give it a full go at OTTs
  15. I mentioned this on another thread, but the stalling one looks like a raised fist in solidarity. I'm going to continue to use it in that manner and promote positivity, even if someone misunderstands me. "I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel..."
  16. I'll go with the video review for locked hands.
  17. No Gantry, they are not. ESPN2, do your homework next time
  18. Are the finals not available on ESPN+?
  19. I'm still adjusting to these new reactions ionel, I'm not calling stalling on you I'm raising my first in solidarity!
  20. I think overall this is just an absurd and shameful aspect of our sport, coaching staffs acting like children, throwing tantrums and verbally abusing referees constantly. Imagine if people in the "real world" acted like this at their jobs, especially towards others?
  21. And Jaxon takes it, two guys going for third for Maryland. Another for 5th. Clemsen doing good work, he had the barest of cupboards when he took over.
  22. I haven't either to be honest, every time I look over it doesn't seem like they are wrestling.
  23. This Jaxon Smith vs Joles match has been going on for 47 minutes
  24. Turley and Sparks was a crazy one, 10-9 Turley on top. He's definitely a postseason wrestler!
  25. Yep, that was for the right to wrestle for third.
