After watching the Nebraska Illinois GREAT match, and seeing maybe 500-700 in the stands, kinda agreeing with you guys; there's no growth to support it. Too bad for the tweeners. Like watching them taking on and beating the heavys. They do need more equity because his top end in the division is what? Because if he's wrestling Wyatt or Kerk, 200 or more of these people are walking out early. We'll see how many 218 pounders get recruited or passed on. You guys are correct! If you don't want to wrestle the bigs you're a wussy.

Was the ref late starting swipes when Realbuto had Lovett in danger first time after reversal not at end?

different emotion and risk factor depending on your opponent, not always the course

No, it was stated that the Brands one trick pony coaching style Spencer Lee arm bar has to be replaced. Not and rankings

Do you really think it is fair a really good 220-230 gives up 50 pounds to a good 280 pounder? Just answer that one simple question. Or they should all be happy with bulking up and taking 4 or 5th for 4 years? Who cares about AD's. What about the student athlete. Also because 2 220 pounders is a better product than a 220 285 match. Your telling me there's not enough wrestlers who fit this body type?? And if the weights are split maybe there's half 220 wrestlers and half 230-285 wrestlers that's more guys wrestling equal opponents isn't that why we have weight classes. Programs are getting 3 deep at 197 look at all the new guys, If they put on a growth spurt then all they have is freestyle. Which brings us to another reason building for the 96kg spot. If your looking to freestyle 96kg you sit out college or give up 50 pounds.

Do you work for the WNBA?

I didn't see any byes in the 218 pound weight class at the Doc Buchanon. But they can all bulk up.

the chart is based on the only choices that existed. So why are only 262 sign up for 285? because if your 220 you have half a chance. Is it fact that Keuter's choice was publicized because its so extraordinary? Men are bigger now. The more the merrier!

And for all the Keuters there's ten that do the opposite. A percentage because of this gap. A lot of athletes there.

Do you think Snyder would be happy if there was no 97(213 pounds)? Or he would just be happy to bulk up?

I thought we were talking about high school light heavyweight athletes leaving to play other sports and nil's. Did you read the last paragraph of the original post? guys with no fat to cut (210-235) leaving wrestling to be a QB or DB. There is no weight class for them. How many more college wrestlers might there be; if the gap wasn't so big? So right now basically if your'e in that demographic the reality is; you're Deion Sanders wrestling Lawrence Taylor or Gronk.

Yeah we were all hoping Dake / Brooks would Olympic Gold; but the Brands coached the highest mens freestyle medal just saying.

I dont think its about wrestlers that would follow their passion no matter what they weighed. Its more about bringing or keeping athletes in this demo graphic ( 210-240 pounds) a into the sport or to stay wrestling without moving on because theres a Hendrickson or kerkvliet that they have to eventually meet.

Webster is a beast

Right so what we are all saying is a lot of good athletes aren't going to wrestle;(210-235 because they don't want to get stuck under a 285 pounder

just an opinion: 1.) The Brands are true IOWA besides home bread Iowa Hawkeyes! They like giving the guys out west a shot and especially happy to develop the local state champs. Getting away from the Pennsylvania, New Jersey powerhouses is a more risky/challenging evaluation of in coming talent. The portal lets them recharge where they lost in recruitment. 2.) The commits of the northeast high school wrestling programs are more staying east since; Caels success and other Snyder/Gilman Penn State RTC move. influenced by facility proximity success money not in that order.

imagine an entire squad of Olympic Silver's; improvement?

A 210-239 pound athlete should be in a different weight class than a 240- 285 pound athlete! Guessing Maybe 60% college quarterbacks, corners, small running backs fit this demographic.

Complete period rideout should be rewarded! 1 extra The Referees are already controlling parallel ride stalling. You basically control your opponent for an entire 2 minutes straight and get 30% reward(1 for riding time) of a 5 second blast takedown.

I say 1 extra point for a period ride out! What's harder than that?

Please pretend there is no such things as international Freestyle Wrestling. We are just improving Folkstyle dominance scoring. Love the 3 point takedown as it rewards offense and superiority on the feet. I think more ways to score would equal make folkstyle more exciting. First: why not a point for every minute riding time not just the first. Isn't continued riding a show of dominance. stalemates and stalling can still negate inactivity. secondly 1 extra point for a period ride out. Why do 95% of wrestlers choose bottom as there first choice. An escape is seemingly the easiest way to score a point, therefore riding must be more difficult and the dominance should be rewarded. Don't you think we are going to see a flurry of action if the bottom guy has been ridden for 1:45 and could lose a point if he caves and gets ridden out. Again referees can issue stalling warnings so there is no incentive to be stagnant on the mat. people are going to escape just as easily and be on their feet. Only you would suffer if you are unable to escape dominance. Just throwing it out there; the only negative is world wrestling is Freestyle
