Kenny vs Mills @126 might be my match of the tournament so far

150

#3 in Country at 175 Mario Carini is out of the tournament already

Only ever allowed escape points I believe, no TDs, Backs, or reversals

Zinkin Just teched former Fargo runner-up Ayden Dodd 11-0. He is looking GREAT

I think Jax has the highest ceiling simply based on how dynamic he is. He and PJ have the best offensive output (at the senior level) so far, of the four, but I think that Jax just has that technical ability to score from pretty much anywhere, both offensively and defensively, that could be the difference maker between this group. Marcus has elite positioning and will improve his offense against the top guys over time. PJ is so physical, so powerful, and scores cleanly, so I could see the argument for both of them, but assuming all three continue to develop physically, I think that what could set Jax apart is how he just does stuff nobody else does. Also, don't take this as Bo disrespect, I just think he is a step behind these three right now, and based on his style/body type, I don't see him being able to score against the top guys the way Jax and PJ can, or control center/positioning as good as Blaze does. Does not mean he won't have an amazing career.

Jax just outworked Vito in the last 30 seconds. Vito wanted to shoot in and just hold on, his positioning was so good, I think he could have won if he just controlled center

4:50 is what Kozak from Flo posted. I am trying to figure out how to time it, does that mean the whistle blows at 4:50 or what?

I agree about Rune, I think him being at 197 (if that is his best weight) is what is most important. Just curious how they balance that with HWT being how it is and if Robin does come back they would have 3 NQ level guys for 2 weight classes

I kind of agree, but I also get that it is just too much of a cut. He did pretty good at 61kg for u23s. He took 2nd and only lost to Nic Bouzakis. I think that if he takes the full offseason to fill out 133 and can avoid off-mat distractions, he will be much better at 133 than he was last year. I could see him making a midseason decision to go down to 125 if he feels that is a better spot for him

Today at 4:50

HWT is such a blackhole- do you think there is any chance Robin gets in the lineup again and they bump one of him, Bush or Rune to HWT (at least for some duals)? I know it would be a little crazy to do it for the year, but it might be their best chance of not giving up major bonus at HWT

Is Bo the only major 2026 left now?

It is funny to me how he seemed to be between Armenia and Azerbaijan as his next destination. If he does go with Azerbaijan he will have Armenia and Iran as major haters now.

I am curious how this will be streamed- that decision will be huge (and I don't know what the best method will be)

Thank you!

She has 1 million followers on TikTok (but seems to hardly post on it)- the vast majority of people in the world and the US do not care at all about wrestling, much less the spouses of wrestlers. I wouldn't say she is famous, but much like Lucas Byrd and his GF, there is a whole group of people who only know the best NCAA wrestlers as Syd's Husband or Ellie's BF

Pitt class of 25. Looks like he was on campus but just not competing or rostered these past two years

Is that confirmed? I haven't seen recent updates about their lineup, but I believe it.

yea, definitely didn't mean to imply a hard cap. Just a situation-by-situation "reasonable" cap. Personally, I hate that this will take money out of wrestlers pockets- but it will reduce the gap between the max different programs can offer, which theoretically could let less funded schools do better.

In the sense of what NIL is supposed to be (sponsorships, etc.) yeah, there are tons of businesses that will do NIL stuff with kids at PITT. In the NIL world of it being a vessel for big money to be paid to the kids just for coming to the school, Pitt does not have the donor base for that (but my understanding is that NIL is getting capped with the new clearinghouse stuff, so it will be more even playing field)
