    Well it will be interesting to see what Gable’s next move will be, does he return to wrestling or does he move on to MMA. I am sure Dana White would love to have him. But it could be that Gable has other plans altogether.

    Well John Smith is an iconic legend as both a wrestler and coach. The sport of wrestling is in a better place because of him. Congrats

    Gilman, love him or hate him, he had a pretty great career. Especially internationally.

    Vincenzo Joseph has announced according to a post on Instagram

    Marcus is really impressive, hopefully he can stay healthy and continue to improve. I look forward to watching him wrestle.

    Metcalf unfortunately didn’t get a World or Olympic medal or title, that would have probably been his crowning achievement in his international career, but he did place at the Worlds toughest tournament, The Yarygin, a couple of times. I do remember a match I saw at the World Cup in Los Angeles ( actually in Inglewood at the Fabulous Forum ), where we were Wrestling against Iran. And Metcalf got tossed a couple of times and had to mount a huge come back to come back and win. One of my favorite Metcalf matches.

    Is it me, or do these brackets look pretty stacked on one side and kind of light on the other. I know someone will point out that it’s the result of the seeding, but still it looks like the aforementioned to me. I know that no matter what, this is going to be an interesting and exciting tournament.

    Well would like to see Spencer make it at 57. 65, is going to be wild and I have no idea who will be the guy. 74, 86, 97, and 125 I think will be Dake, Taylor, Snyder, and Parris. However if Nolf makes it at 74, I think that would be cool.

    Congrats to a great wrestler and coach. Best of luck with retirement and any future endeavors

    Well hopefully Vito can recover and get himself ready for the Worlds

    Well I think that JB isn’t going to make it to Dake in the finals. I believe that Nolf will be the guy to face Dake. JB may be super focused but Father Time is still going to be a huge factor.

    Well I think College Westling has to be more like Freestyle. Adopt the out/push out and 30 second clock. I think that might be more appealing to the casual fan.

    Well I believe that Aaron is the heir apparent to 86, 92, or maybe even 97, but I think DT has his final Olympic appearance this year. But if Aaron does win the trials, it will be interesting to see him wrestle at the Olympics.

    I used to think that JB would have called it a career after 2020, but obviously he had other ideas. But if JB can’t make the team this year I don’t see him continuing on as a competitor.

    Huge pick up for the program that lands him.
  16. de4856
    I could be wrong, but I doubt that he (Gable), makes a run.
  17. de4856
    I believe that Aaron will be our guy in 86, or 92, and who knows maybe even 97 in a few years. This year I think DT makes his final appearance on the US team.
  18. de4856
    I agree
  19. de4856
    That is true, but Taylor had the frame to grow into. I don’t see that in Fix’s case.
  20. de4856
    I don’t know who will win at 57, but I think Lee has the best chance if he’s healthy. At 65, wow, I don’t know, maybe Nick Lee, but I do wonder about Alirez. 74, I’m sure KOT will be a huge factor, but I think it’ll be Dake or Nolf.
  21. de4856
    I think we need a step out, and or push out rule. I also think that we should adopt the shot clock rule like in Freestyle.

    Well, although Cael and Penn St. have become a juggernaut that doesn’t seem to have any end in sight. But on the other hand I don’t see anyone else doing much better. And if Gable and the Iowa AD decided to part ways with the Brands Bros., who will they get to replace them. I would say that it was nice to see Little Rock, get 2 AA’s as well as Army & Navy getting a guy on the podium.
  23. de4856
    Exactly, he has me worried
  24. de4856
    So, if Bono is let go, who do you get to replace him? Reader? Someone else? Also I am not familiar with who Wisconsin has in their room and how they are set up financially. Unfortunately it appears to me that the Big 10 is a two tiered conference with teams that are the haves and the others who are the have nots.
  25. de4856
    Well I believe that Iowa is going to have to have a few great sessions including the blood round to get their guys on the podium. I’m not sure who from Iowa will AA, but at this point I’m thinking that should be their main goal, because I don’t think that they’ll be anywhere near title contention. But if Iowa can come away with a handful of AA’s I think that would be a good deal for them this year.
