If it would help them win the dual (it won’t), it would help Lee. And it would certainly boost his “legacy” further, not that his legacy needs boosting. But even people that acknowledge his greatness can also acknowledge that there has been a relative lack of guys really anywhere near his caliber at 125 his final 2 seasons.

The OP’s premise was assuming Ayala would wrestle 125. He won’t

Yes I left that one out of the losses since Brown looks solid. 15-2 and a win over Prata of his own. But the other 4 guys have a combined record of 45-27 (according to wrestlestat). Molton does need some recognition though since he wrestled for both Old Dominion AND Fresno State before Campbell

Anthony Molton 125 for Campbell has to be up there. Wins over Matt Ramos (only other losses to Spencer and Richie Figs) and Joey Prata (R12 last year) Losses to McHenry, Wagner of UNC, Mauger of Utah Valley, and Jordan of SDSU

Yes I would envision him taking top if he doesn’t get any takedowns. Is RBY stronger than Nathan Tomasello? The gas tank is a legit concern though, especially against RBY. I don’t necessarily think Lee going 133 would be best for the team even if he/they thought he could win the title. While I do think he could, it’s not as much of a guarantee as 125, and he probably scores less bonus. Ayala isn’t a guarantee to AA at 125, and was coming off surgery. Teske can probably score a similar amount at 133 as Ayala at 125.

I think RBY could probably take Lee down, but he hasn’t really wrestled anyone with Lee’s top ability. Unless he escapes in the first 5 seconds or something I think Lee could turn him.

Man I would love to see that match. But probably less than 1% chance it happens. Iowa’s backup probably isn’t beating Steen. They really need to make the redshirts allowed to wrestle some matches rule apply not just true freshmen

That’s referring to breaking them down flat, not taking them down in the first place, you cut that part out. It does specifically say the offensive wrestler is incentivized by the opportunity to earn a riding time point though.

No, the context does not exist, at least not the context about being rewarded for getting a takedown. If anything, the context is that you are not required to attempt to turn because you can earn a RT point. That’s really the only explanation for the difference in wording between high school and college.

The rule doesn't say anything about the guy having gotten a takedown. You're adding context that doesn't exist.

That seems arbitrary. Getting a takedown earns you the right to stall? And why is it “symmetrical” for the start of periods (or after injury time)? Using this logic only the guy who chose the position should be eligible to be hit for stalling

Jimmy has some weird fetish with trying to get people to talk trash on PSU (and I do believe he's actually a fan). I'm sure the responses to this thread were mostly what he was expecting.

Jimmy troll thread

Side note, but I did also get a laugh out of Kevin Ward criticizing Mark Branch for saying he “doesn’t have enough time” to read a 2 page document (but he did have enough time to reply twice in the tweet thread)

If they are in the process of escaping sure, but why is the defensive wrestler required to try to escape but the offensive wrestler apparently doesn’t have to do anything except be “active”? Guess we can add this to the sequel to Stall Camp: “I try not to think of it as stalling, I think of it as ‘escape prevention.’”

It does for the defensive wrestler, but not the offensive one, which seems a bit hypocritical

His NIL $ per match ratio must be pretty high

I thought Rutgers got rid of the grease trucks?

He’d definitely be behind Cael, Dake, and Uetake at least. Probably Stieber. I think he’s ahead of Yianni. Don’t know enough about the rest to judge

Wasn’t there rumors that Andonian might redshirt?

I’m in favor of needing to score near fall in order to get the RT point

Correct. High school rules say offensive wrestler must work for a fall, so seems pretty simple to add it to college

Are you implying he shouldn't be? If he wins, it's simple math really. 4 > 3.

Same, but apparently that's the direction...
