Yes, there have definitely been multiple people saying “he was the best chance to medal,” but didn’t those usually occur AFTER he took those domestic losses? I’m not sure if that qualifies as “hype,” it may be accurate and is based on who he’s beaten internationally, not just him “coming onto the scene.”

Well with the new top stalling rule requiring working for a fall we should see more top stalling calls. Yes it’s subjective but I don’t think you can really get rid of the subjectivity without making the product worse. I know in a later post someone said stall calls should be based on specific times in positions but that gets confusing when there’s so many of them. Not a fan of eliminating tech falls or zero points for a given escape though.

I have no idea if it’s him of course or what his wrestling credentials are, but was the first thing that came to mind when someone said it was a HS kid

Maybe that kid that won the big grappling tournament?

I assume this

Definitely more people that get ESPN than Flo or BTN. Maybe ESPN realizes that with so many people cutting the cord, old grumpy wrestling fans make up a bigger percentage of viewers than they used to.

Hopefully the gamblers are available

Man I thought Brown Ton was some sort of weird autocorrect mistake. That’s a pretty cool last name.

It doesn’t seem there was as much pushback on the “sausagefest” comment. Just be careful promoting heterosexism, there are some UNC professors that don’t appreciate that.

Google maps right now says 2 hours 7 minutes from University of Illinois to Chicago (140 miles), and 1 hour 4 minutes from Lehigh to Philadelphia (59 miles). Pretty big difference

Caleb right? I also hadn’t realized that VanDee beat Trombley last year…

Apparently not, although it seems Cassioppi was smart enough not to say anything himself. But now that guys have outed themselves, I would think the team/school should make a statement about them. I wonder if they even will once there’s a final ruling. Like even if it’s shortened will Brands even say why they’re not in the lineup?

I guess himself. Doesn’t seem to have much remorse, mostly just ill will towards the NCAA https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/wrestling/2023/10/26/iowa-wrestlers-abe-assad-nelson-brands-discuss-ncaa-gambling-probe/71333947007/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ&fbclid=IwAR1Xo6MpPI0dZP1Zx3uB6LZ_7qFdi6tPsMQbwNmGFsMofSIm5MNOJFgK5go

Did Burwikk wrestle?

Reading the description in the link about tOSU’s wrestleoffs, it sounds like Bouzakis/Gonzales would have went to SV if not for 3 pt takedowns

Kerk and Hendrickson probably a tossup right now. But I think they’re the clear 1/2

What is this South America stuff?

Is there a convicted sex offender you won’t defend?

No he didn’t

I think at 0.5 you might get some takers

I thought they said 4.5? Regardless, 3.5 is still steep. I suggested 1.5 and most that replied are taking under on that. I mean in reality it’s not even a sure thing that AJ wrestles at all, and if he wrestles this year I doubt he wins. Maybe next year or the year after. The scouting report on Anthony seems to be he’s not a title contender, if he ever even gets on the roster. So basically you’re counting on Angelo, and in addition to the risk of transferring, it’s really hard to win a title let alone multiple.

Definitely looks like Deakin is staying, he was tagged in this post And I do see him reposting the Stanford stuff now, but interestingly his only post between when Ayres was hired and the next 3+ weeks were about Sebastian Rivera at worlds and his iPhone getting finicky.

Haha, even if they’d don’t count I think I’d still take the over. Angelo at least 2, then I think Anthony and AJ can combine for 3. Earlier I put 4.5 as the O/U for AA finishes between them, but wasn’t thinking of the possibility they transfer out which is certainly high.

Well Angelo is still in high school. Maybe the sister will join the women’s team?
