Speaking of Willie, gotta admit, the BEG guy making fun of him was kinda funny

Is it bad I can’t tell if this is sarcasm?

Ha, yup. The Kueter bit was a little weird. It kinda seemed like Tom was mad that Kueter was disappointed in his performance?

Dom Zaccone. Apparently makes $70k A MONTH selling Pokémon cards?? Not sure what the expenses are but still, crazy. And still uses three chairs to hold up his TV, now that’s humble. Fun video. Chase Horne from NC State was pretty funny. Apparently Kai Orine enjoys asking strangers if he can take them down.

Flo put it on YouTube btw

Anyone else think Shapiro looked a little gassed at the end of his match?

“I don’t know what day it is except that it’s Monday”

Plus 12 “other” votes Ayala in the lead with 15 votes, followed by Ramos with 10 and Davis with 9. Noto a distant fourth with 5

False, especially with the new rule

Make up call from the undeserved stalling against Hardy?

Guys he’s beaten at NCAA’s alone: 2023 - DeAugustino (4th 2022) 2022 - Courtney (2nd/6th/3rd) 2022 & 2021 - Barnett (7th/8th) 2022 - Cardinale (8th 2023) 2021 - Hildebrandt (4th 2021) 2021 - Lamont (5th 2021) Seems pretty good to me.

Flo had actually put Braeden Davis in the rankings before he ever wrestled a dual…that may have been a bit premature

Flobros are not waiting (which I agree with), Intermat is. Not that it really matters at the end of the day, but IMO “high probability” = should be in the rankings

There’s always a chance, but I’d bet it’s about 95% Davis goes and 80% for Kasak. Are they not ranking any true freshman from any school until after they’ve had 6 dates? That would be the only way this might make some sense.

Sean Gray to Stanford as Assistant Coach

Can’t imagine there have been too many mid season coaching changes in the past

AJ Ferrari

Maybe these are what cured Gilman’s foot a few years back?

Hey at least he’s trying to sell something…do we know what sponsorships are paying for Real Woods, Jared Franek, Mikey Caliendo, Aaron Nagao and Bernie Truax?

I saw they were not planning to use Griffith against MSU but ended up doing so after the Saldate pin and Amine loss. Guess Bormet cares about duals more than Mike Grey

This is fair, but even if that does happen Brooks, Bartlett and Truax alone probably get at least 3 bonus

Most interesting matchups for me, in order: 149: Gomez is always fun to watch, and Kasak showed some flashiness against Rooks as well. Kasak's first test against a top 5ish guy. 165: Clash of styles, and Mesenbrink's first test against a top 5ish guy. 125: Want to see more from Davis, especially against a guy like DeAugustino who is one of the biggest 125's I've seen and also can ride. I'd put this higher on the list but DeAugustino is incredibly boring to watch.

Good writeup, but kinda disagree with your conclusions here. 125 is a mess because everybody has been taking losses. Davis has not yet, although he really only has one win over a top 10ish guy in Kaylor. Beating DeAugustino would give him another one and IMO put him squarely in the national title conversation, which he may have somewhat been already due to the parity but I think many are hesitant to do yet. On the flip side, both Nagao and Ragusin are proven commodities, no result would really surprise me. Ragusin has plenty of big wins in his career, just hasn’t been able to put it all together to AA yet.

What was Escobedo yelling about at the end of Kazak/Rooks?

Mostly just intermat I think. Flo had both Davis and Kasak in the rankings. I guess Kasak there may be a tiny bit of question still, but with Davis once he went against Hofstra it was pretty obvious.
