Hilton Head Joe

In Snyder's final I think the difference is who is wrestling better at this moment. Could go either way but Snyder has got to be favorite. Snyder's run since 2015 is now approaching legendary GOAT status. If he can hold his body together 3 more years he could surpass Bruce, JB and Smith!

Zahid in his prime thru 28 probably. Snyder wayyy past his prime in 28. Hidley will go up. Most will probably bulk rather than face Zahid. I really can't believe I would say run from him to Snyder if your big enough.

So this guy is Taz's training partner. He held is own against Zare. About 6 5 230-240. Easily could make 213 with those thin legs. But Taz is there. Amazing how training partners elevate your game! This guy better technically than Zare!

Zare opponent looks like a bumped up 213

Wow. But maybe my eye test is deceiving me. Zahid looks like clear favorite. But this result doesn't lie!

I watched his matches. He doesn't look all that great. Zahid has been perfect!

Yes. I would be really surprised if Zahid doesn't win!

Zahid is going destroy these guys in the finals! Won't even be close!

Good ole physical strength at the top tier of the senior level. Pushed him around. I knew Zahid would win this. He is in his absolute prime and is clicking in all other areas as well. So happy for him!

Now Zahid appears to be at his absolute physical peak. We will see here!!!

Physicality just to great of a separation.

Geno is going to be old by 2028. Zare would crush Gable as well. This is the one weight noone in the USA will touch this cycle. Wyatt reminds me of Cael a little. But McCoy really. If he dedicates himself he might turn it around but he looked undersized also. This is why Snyder would never go heavy in freestyle. Size is so much more important getting exposure points than in folkstyle. Kerry McCoy was similar size as Hendrikson and would get mauled alot in freestyle against the huge guys. We are in bad shape at Heavyweight unless a young gun is out there? Mocco to small, Merrill? I mean it is the only weight where we are not a medal threat. Imagine if the NCAA finals match was freestyle. Gable by tech easily. Case in point Bruce B was much better at Freestyle which is rare for an american. He was 280 and had a high free IQ.

The payout for this will be the biggest in UFC history. Jones will fight one more time. He wins then he is the GOAT hands down especially since it is against the current #1 true heavyweight champion in all rankings. If not, just one of the greatest. There is no true GOAT just a group of greats. Jones has a chance here to go out on top against the baddest man on the planet and secure his place as the undisputed undefeated GOAT and then retire!

I totally agree with you. Just the can't read, can't write thing. I know it is not a top academic school but one of the better ones in the MAC overall. Me and my daughter and sons have toured about 50 schools the last 7 years. Kent State campus and town was surprisingly nice from what we were expecting going in. Anyway I agree Josh Moore has his hands tied trying to compete with the power 4 conferences. Why would Kent State opt in to the new legislation and have roster limits? Seems like they and other MAC, SoCon schools would want numbers.

That was absolutely brutal. Dang. I work for a fortune 100 company. Our CFO went to Kent State. Not a wrestler but he is familiar with that line. So all the MAC schools are worthless degrees? I have been to most schools in the MAC and actually like the campus and town of Kent the best.

Honestly NE Ohio and Western PA might be the best region in US for wrestling period correct? I know that is up for debate. With that said Kent State, especially with the removal of Cleveland St, and a locked in new coach should turn it around? Or are the power 4 conferences just to alluring? Money of course being the biggest factor along with winning, duh. But I commend what Josh Moore is trying to do!

Basketball is my mortal enemy jk. But these are pretty good trending numbers! Thanks for sharing!

He is in Goat convo I agree. He in my opinion has peaked. But his non peak is different than most. He can still win gold medals. So can Snyder. Going to be interesting to see how these two finish 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 probably their last 4 years. Heck Snyder could be in Goat convo if he wins out through 2028. But I think both will not get that done therefore we were lucky to see two all time greats at same time. Just not Goats.

I agree with you mostly on the age for most people. It is just Sad and Snyder have been banging at the highest level since 14. Sad was a phenom like Kyle very young. I think their primes were 21-25. That sounds odd but let's see how they do. Kyle's and Sad's best days are over. But with the right bracket they are still good enough to win Gold!

Sad and Snyder are now old men. Yes they are good enough to make their teams, but I like Snyders chances now that they are older more so. Taz is in his prime and I see no one getting him for a few years. So no more golds for Snyder unless we have a Varner situation where Yazdani blows out knee but it is possible. Spencer is our only Gold in my opinion.

How tall is he? I mean I was at the US Open and watched him beat the two best HS wrestlers in the nation! Mocco (Who is a world champ) and Ross. Really think it is his size?

You talk about change of fortune! Unemployed to king of the portal. Never give freaking up man even when sh.. looks really bad!!! Don't want to bring the Lord into this but man he was looking out for Josh Moore!

Bleeding will not stop for Campbell. How late can guys transfer? Was Aug 1st the Deadline. Or are there no rules anymore really

Reminds me of the movie 300 and how the Spartans trained their young warriors. That is from extreme training from a very young age.

It has been going on so long someone said it was official, official last week. The thing that caught me off guard was so many non power 4's opting in. Everyone was saying most non power 4 schools wouldn't opt in. After the dust settled it looks like over 90% of the non power 4 schools opted in. That is disheartening. So all those non power 4 schools that opted in will have to eventually cut their rosters to 30 correct? Just doing quick math 500-600 wrestlers will be cut
