Score 1 for me and the fellow watch guessers!

Willie confirms it was a watch that was stolen (He said he spoke to the reporter last night to get more details)

There is no way to know, assuming that Mark is a pseudonym. I mean a detailed investigation of who follows who on Instagram and a combing over of past PSU rosters could maybe narrow it down, but it is not worth the time.

I think it is a good idea if matches are competitive. Otherwise, they would just be hosting matches that only freestyle nerds care about. The average wrestling fan (college only) and casual MMA fans won't care as much about the current freestyle matchups (which they can see at worlds/WTT anyway)

Him and his wife both have real big social media accounts. She in specific has 1million followers on TikTok

Every clip from Bo's pod I watch (normally him interviewing PSU wrestlers) is him talking for 40 seconds, them saying something in response then it just cuts to Cassar sitting there like a cardboard cutout

29:55 if you want to see Willie and Basch with some all-time thatagedpoorly takes

With the behavior with women thing, in the article the woman accusing him of rape said that before she went to his home she had spent time with him at LWC in the PSU/NLWC team facilities/Sauna's. Starocci using the facility to lure in potential victims is something that if true, would have major blowback on the staff, even if they had no idea it was occurring.

I went back and listened; their reasoning at least, was that with how major the allegations are, they felt it would be unprofessional to speculate on it, as they appear to have no information outside of the article itself. The fact that they did not read through the article and say the allegations was incredibly cowardly in my opinion, but I do understand them not wanting to speculate or offer any opinions on it this early

Beau probably had a watch nicer than an Apple Watch. His NIL could easily afford him a watch that is 800 bucks (not even close to that nice for a watch) and the Shoes he wears would all be 150+ and we known Beau has to have multiple pairs to be able to mismatch.

Trying to find the pod with that clip before they delete it...

The norm in PA is to graduate at 18, with students who have summer birthdays typically graduating at 17 but starting college at 18.

Kudiev is also at 65kg. Gamkrelidze (79kg) was 2023 World Silver at this weight. Also, I would not be surprised if the Iranians all pulled out. Believe that we could see more guys from other countries still register

Kozak uploaded a team Japan preview: I didn't realize Ishiguro at 86 has a past TF win over Zahid. That could make that matchup more interesting.

Truzz said he may try to get a more detailed preview out there, but I will just be posting the matchups at each weight with small blurbs. 57- Lee vs Sakamoto This is a shockingly weak 57kg for Japan. It seems nobody can hold it/wants to come down for this weight class. Sakamoto is good, but his results (5th at Asians) show that he is far from the level of Higuchi and Ono. 61- Vito/Jax vs Suda This is one of Japan's best weight's and Suda is a monster. 65-Woods vs Kiyooka Reigning Olympic Champ who went through a very tough bracket to even make the Japanese world team. 70-Duke vs Aoyagi Returning World Silver. Took a loss at Meiji Cup to Yama*I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*a, who won Duke's u20 worlds bracket last year. Beat Green and Lewan earlier this year. 74-Carr vs Takahashi This match is super interesting for me. Carr beat returning Olympic Silver Takatani (not competing this year) and Takahashi beat Messenbrink at u23 worlds last season. He also took 5th at senior worlds up at 79kg. This should be a great matchup. 79-Haines vs Kamiya Kamiya lost 8-0 to Wick earlier this year and DNP at u20s last year. This is a weight where I would expect USA to win. 86-Zahid vs H. Ishiguro Ishiguro was teched by Brooks at the Olympics. He is not a slouch but another weight USA is favored. 92- Hidlay vs T. Ishiguro Ishiguro took 3rd at Senior Asians, went 0-1 at worlds last year losing to Ghasempour. He is real solid and there is little data to compare the two, I would lean Hidlay but not a sure thing at all. 97-Snyder vs Yoshida Yoshida beat Snyder earlier this year, but it is a result that can absolutely be reversed. This is another one of the matches that can really go either way 125- Hendrickson vs Yamamoto Wyatt all day.

Japan's team will be set tomorrow. Here is what they have so far 57: Sakamoto (CWC) or Yumiya 61: Suda 65: Kiyooka or Tanabe 70: Aoyagi 74: Takahashi or Sato 79:Kamiya 86: H. Ishiguro 92: T. Ishiguro 97: Yoshida 125: Yamamoto It will be far from Japan's best possible team, but it will still be very good with multiple threats for medals.

I am curious what the difference between true freshman and redshirt/greyshirt freshman was. I would guess that the curve is even steeper for true freshman in terms of contributing at NCAAs

Yeah for the east coast, these top kids have been in all of these rooms numerous times by the time June 15th hits. They have coaches who they have seen coach/been coached by/wrestled with and athletes at the school/RTC they have already rolled with.

Love to see it. Glad there is all of the lighter weights, they are far more exciting.

guessing something like 145, 155, 165, 175, 190, 205, 220, HWT just since I doubt guys will want to cut for RAF. Could also see 135 being in there and combining 205 and 220 to a 210.

That team still might lose to FCA. The non-PIAA weights might favor BMC, and the PIAA weights might favor FCA. Could also see one being better in tournaments and another being better in a dual setting. 106-120 TBD (IDK if they have any incoming Freshmen or not) Young NR and Yoder NR would be in here 126- Bachmann #4 132- Racich NR 138- Bachmann #2 144- Botero NR 150- M. Wagner NR (State third last year (beat Butler at State Duals)) 157- S. Wagner NR (Really solid, has never wrestled in the postseason) 165- Weidemoyer INJ (Top 5-10 nationally when healthy) 175- N. Singer #11 190- Waters #1 215- J. Singer #12 285 Effendian #6

Unless something changes where he is ruled ineligible for anything PIAA he will be able to compete in every non-postseason event but nothing that is the official postseason.

I think that Forrest or Herring going 132 and Butler 144 with McMullen being the 157 is a real possibility as well

Hamilton is in the NFL now, Milano quit wrestling and is doing MMA, Mastro and McCrary idk what they are doing atp, Vandervere has 12 career matches in college, Picklo is going to NAIA, Jagger has 19 matches in his career against D1 guys and is 8-11. Just some crazy career paths in the top 30. Not anything against Willie, just shows how crazy the class as a whole was

he is not big enough for the international guys at the moment, but from a pure freestyle savvy perspective he is as good as it gets in the US
