    Ortega +500 is crazy odds. Also, sucks that this is going up right against the UFC Whitehouse card.
  2. Crablegs
    Not really Unique. Covington, Tsarukian, Ortega, Palmer, Pico, Mugsy, Georgio, Khinchegashvili, Downey, Beebee, DiJoulious and more. There are a ton of RAF only wrestlers.

    Starocci’s walkout was the best. Just set the perfect tone for his matches. ISU has a few good ones. Stevo comes out to the song from his childhood YouTube video, Evan Frost to Ice Ice Baby, and of course Rocky to the Rocky theme song.

    Definitely illegal. Happened to fast to know what was happening. I’ve never seen that before.
  5. Crablegs
    Not the favorite, but a definite contender.

    Frost is just the better wrestler. Much better on the mat, better takedown defense, and more variety of ways to score on his feet. Casey is explosive and may get an early takedown, but Frost has felt his ankle pick and blast double before, so his lack of variety in offensive attacks will hurt him.

    If you never return, you’re stalling. That’s pretty simple. Or, as you state, only 1 wrestler has to return to the center. I don’t think it would be a problem. To me it seems like the best solution to address the issues with top/bottom wrestling when adding a step out.
  8. Crablegs
    Not really. The top wrestler could just move back to the center. If the bottom wrestler doesn’t come back, then it is just normal stalling. Or they could just continue to attack and try for a takedown, they just wouldn’t get a step out point.

    Why do wrestlers take the headgear off first thing after the match ends? Seems simple to just keep it on until hands are raised and they leave the mat. Just like singlet straps.

    I think Hardy is a big question mark right now. He has been killed by Mendez and also Vega and has not beaten anyone in the top 10 this year. Same with Vega. Is he really the 2nd best guy, or has he just beaten Hardy who is not as good as he has been in the past? Vega has barely beaten guys like Bailey and Wells. How will he do against someone like Stanich or Echemendia? Echemendia beat down Bailey this year.

    That’s actually pretty easy to fix as well. After an escape, you can’t get a step out point until the wrestlers have returned to the center circle.

    Every school is different. My experience is at a D1 mid major. The coach there tried to get 3-4 wrestlers on 100% full rides, and distribute the rest to make up the lineup. I imagine a team like Iowa or PSU giving out a 100% is rare.
  13. Crablegs
    I like this, it seems more fair. Right now the coin flip winner gets a pretty big advantage. Just think how big the flip is for Iowa this weekend to get to choose 133.

    That would be a problem if Spencer was any type of normal wrestler. But he regularly techs or pins top 20 opponents in 3-4 minutes and has even won NCAAs with blown ACL. There is no reason to think that a 60% Spencer wouldn’t pin/tech Terukina.

    Lots of competitive weights which will make for an extremely exciting dual. ISU’s chances hinge greatly on Spencer Lee. If Lee wrestles, ISU’s chances are extremely slim. If he’s out this dual is a toss up.

    Siebrecht wins with the ole high school JV roll through
  17. Crablegs
    Agree. Still had that leg and they usually do not call it in that situation.

    I don’t think anyone disregards mindset. Anyone who knows anything about wrestling knows that mentality is as important if not more than physical ability. Mindset, mental toughness, mentality, etc. are not easy for fans to observe. You have to know someone to know their mindset. That is why fans, rightly so imo, focus more on technical/physical analysis.
  20. Crablegs
    Good call. Really makes you think the whole nostalgia over that 149 class is a bit overblown. There are a lot of weights that have 4-5 future champs/finalists in them. Judging how tough a weight is by future placements is really pretty dumb. Why did everyone start thinking this was a good way to look at it?
  21. Crablegs
    Awesome stuff! Thanks for explaining. Very interesting and I think a good way of looking at things. Can you also show the total expected AA in addition to the change? I’m an ISU fan for example and am curious if that change in one more AA moves them from 3 to 4 or 4 to 5 in your calculations.
  22. Crablegs
    How do you get this number? What is 0.1 expected AA? Just curious your method.
  23. Crablegs
    Good wrestlers, but pretty sure no one thought Phil Conigliaro or Cam Amine were winning the title.
  24. Crablegs
    You’re talking about O’Toole never losing another match and how unbelievable he is, but then bragging about the 7th and 8th seeds? Cmon man.
  25. Crablegs
    So in your opinion, Hidlay and Deakin<Wick and Marinelli. Not sure I agree about that.
