Didn't even win ACC wrestler of the year. How good could he be?

Well, there's PSU. Oh, wait...

I thought you had to opt in to be eligible for the NCAA tourney. I must be incorrect since obviously the Ivies wouldn't opt out if it meant that.

One of the best twitter accounts for youth wrestling technique. Giving back to the sport.

Tommy Bartlett's also backing up the Brinks truck. Mars Cheese Palace. Wilderness Resort. We've awakened a giant.

Elite athletes will use whatever they can for extra motivation - so yes. Watch any interview about Michael Jordan.

Gave Ryder extra motivation to win a title and any H2H match-ups. That may not have been included in their calculus.

You missed April Fools Day by 48 hrs.

Right? What's next, Brown? LOL.

I could be wrong, but was of the understanding that Connor Mirasola was a light 197 who could make 184. With Cole being his twin, that'd make him a very, very light heavy.

Well, Cael did do it and he's a top coach so you're right to that extent. Some coaches may be reluctant based on long term consequences of this practice. It'll be an interesting to see if this impacts PSUs current team and future recruiting. I know Cael's done this before (e.g. Max Dean) but this move is higher profile and getting more publicity.

I'll start: Arnold - great wrestler, but can't win the spot at 184 and would have to beat out an AA at 174. Connor Mirasola - could be an AA somewhere but stuck behind Barr. Could become part of the Askren-to-Mizzou pipeline. Cole Mirasola - could be a great 197 somewhere, but stuck as an undersized Hwt.

I briefly fell for that. He could've gotten away with people thinking it was Angelo it if he was a little more subdued.

You ever try to tackle someone when they're doing the splits? Damn near impossible.

No - most coaches wouldn't bring in a transfer that makes them 2% better at the weight (maybe not even that) but risks damaging the team chemistry and their reputation for future recruits.
