Vito interview: cliff’s notes: injured his vertebrae early in the NCAA season, but doesn’t regret wrestling in the NCAA this year Got another injury at practice recently which seemed to be the catalyst for pulling out of trials. Said the weight cut wasn’t the real reason and that he was confident he could have made the weight but obviously it didn’t help (I believe he said he’s typically around 140). Hasn’t decided on weight for 2024 Olympic trials

Perhaps this is a dumb question but is Jesus = God? I feel like I’ve heard some people make that equivalence but I thought he was supposed to be God’s son?

Agree, except for maybe Aaron Brooks. For that reason I’m rooting for him to beat Yazdani in the Olympic finals just to hear his post-match interview.

That post had some exaggeration to it for sure, but it is true that as far as training with guys most kids would rather wrestle with the more recently relevant guys (other than Cael). Ridge Lovett is on record as saying his dad wanted him to go to OSU because of John Smith, but he chose Nebraska at least in part because of Jordan Burroughs (although he of course left Nebraska…)

Yeah that’s what I said. They believe he’s helping them. I believe it’s just their belief helping them, not actually Jesus

Thanks for sharing. That’s disappointing. I was hoping the firing of the coach meant they actually wanted to improve the team. But they might want to get rid of it instead.

Be warned. This is a Pyles monologue, not “Flo”

Construction Management? If he’s on pace to graduate next year then I’m betting it’s Michigan and then he gets a Real Estate Development certificate (which of course would be relevant for a construction management degree) to use his last year of eligibility.

I said in the post that “their belief”seems to help them (but apparently not with staying healthy before Olympic Trials). But I meant I think it’s their belief doing that, not Jesus himself.

They’re pretty much the dominant RTC for women, which I guess is ironic given the current allegations. But they literally have either the person with the bye to the championship series or the #1 seed in the challenge tournament at every single women’s weight.

He won’t make weight if he shows up at all

The owner of this site said he “zapped” the thread in part because he was “uncomfortable with specific names mentioned”

It was more because the last time this topic was discussed the thread got locked

Does @Mike Parrish still post here?

He who shall not be named? Like I said, I remembered seeing the announcement about Martori retiring, I didn’t realize that meant the club was closing…

Neutral

Yeah. Just some of the athletes their website currently lists (yes I know some never really trained there, but many did): Jordan Burroughs Helen Maroulis Dom Parrish Cohlton Schultz Zahid and Anthony Valencia Dom Bradley Austin O’Connor Benji Peak Tracy Hancock Victoria Anthony Forrest Molinari Audrey Jimenez Kayla Miracle Jordan Oliver Kyven Gadson Seth Gross Macey Kilty Maya Nelson One common question will be around the Blades sisters. They chose to not wrestle in college to instead train at Sunkist. Guessing Iowa has called them up?

I’m guessing it’s Brewer-related. All that other stuff was already known so if those were the reasons he probably would have went in the portal sooner.

Whoops, missed that. Ok I don’t think the Harvard coach retiring would qualify as bonkers. Tanelli to Buffalo might if you’re an EIWA guy.

Pyles slipped this in on FRL today when they were talking about the OSU coach search. I know the guy that funded most of it announced he was retiring or something, but I didn’t realize they were folding completely? Was this previously announced? I don’t see much chatter about it on x/twitter or anything on their website (which is actually a pretty good website as far as RTC’s go!), but I do see this which was just posted late last night

Who said bonkers?

Yea

He actually had pretty good results this year. Wins over Sotelo, Terukina, Joyce, Kilkeary. Only losses were to Ungar, Miller & Lujan. I also listed him last

I don’t know if they’ll finish 2nd, but Cornell should have a solid squad next year with Shapiro, Ramirez, Foca, Cornella, Fernandez, Ungar, Greg D.
