I've seen rumors of Land 33 and Farber moving up to 41, but I'm not sure if that is still a possibility

Hilton could get bigger, but he weighed between 141 and 149 for weight certs this week as a true freshman

On that topic, Michigan has in that 133-157 range: Mendoza, Peterson, Wolbert, Sement, Hilton, and Cosby across the classes of 25/26

Han is insane. He only gave up 7 points because he kept putting himself on bottom going for throws. Would have loved to see him against Lee

Yea they add their world ranking even though the ranking is based on a crappy system

Cool story about the Kazak, he had apparently quit wrestling and moved to Texas to work manual labor when he met RBY, who convinced him to get back on the mat and now he is a world medalist

Jax goes down 10-8, the refs and the challenges really slowed that one down, it had some great exchanges other than that

? He is 23

Hidlay is a monster he is bringing Gold home

Haines rematch vs Greece in the Finals

That was the craziest 30 seconds of wrestling oh my god two insane comebacks

and RBY, USA-USA matchup soon

What a headlock oh my god

57: Lee has the toughest side of the bracket, but he's the best guy in the bracket, period. 61: Jax has to beat Suda, good chance to get pulled back into repechage if he gets beat by him 65: Woods likely goes down to Amouzad, but he should get pulled back in 70: Duke has reigning world champ match 2, and Gomez is on that side also, but I would anticipate Duke getting into repechage if he can't get by Kaiponov 74: Carr has a brutal draw. Has to beat Valiev and Sidakov to make finals, if he loses to Valiev he needs him to then beat Sidakov to get pulled back in, then would have to beat Sidakov. I think Carr is good enough to medal but not with this draw. 79: Levi should get pulled back into repechage after Usmanov, not the easiest quad with the Georgian in there as well but not terrible 86: Zahid's isn't too bad, he will be guaranteed a medal match, but Kadiev or Ghas in the semis is rough (and the loser in a potential bronze match) 92: Hidlay will have a tough semi against Kurugliev but he could also see Nurmagomedov, both tough matches but he could win 97: Snyder should make the semi's where he would have a tough but winnable Yoshida or Matcharashvili 125: Wyatt has a good shot to make the semis and take a shot at Zare, but it won't be a pushover at all. I will try to make weight-by-weight predictions later but looking at this, it is not too bad at all. It is never going to be easy at worlds and even though some of our newer guys (Jax, Woods, Duke, Haines) have early tough matches, they all have a reasonable shot at getting pulled back in.
