I’m pretty sure he did have more eligibility, but did not use it because he was injured

I asked who. I also brought up that before the Welsh news, Willie said there was a rumor about Feldman talking to PSU but that it wasn’t true, and someone else said Feldman’s dad posted something laughing about it. But PSU beats the field IMO even with zero transfers other than Ono.

$300k+ for a guy with a DUI(s?) that hasn’t made the podium in 2 tries is wild

Is this a Meyer Shapiro-esque callout of Volk?

Maybe if they donate some of that stolen money to Trump they’ll get a pardon like this guy

Speaking of Barr, was there ever any info given as far as if he was still injured during NCAA’s?

Hopefully his redshirt strategy pays off better than Mason Manville’s. I feel like he should still have eligibility, maybe he’ll transfer to ASU?

Looks like Facundo is leaving, which goes to what I was saying about guys being more likely to leave now. Totally agree that it seems like Taylor has a chance to level the field a bit. What HWT is PSU “probably” getting?

The “new era” to me seems like it’s more common for guys to actually leave though. I get the feeling at least one Mirasola will leave I think PJ Duke is a consistent starter for them.

I think PSU will get 6 champs next year. 125 Lilledahl 133 Ono 157 Kasak 165 Mesenbrink 174 Haines 197 Barr Not super confident in Ono and Kasak, but Van Ness has a very good chance as well. They would beat the rest of the NCAA in a dual.

Shakur Rasheed went down-up-up 2 weights-down-up

Does Truax count?

With both guys he lost to graduating, and multiple hammers at 184, I don’t see why he would. I’d pick him over AJ for sure

Fair point, although “not at all” is probably a stretch considering they are still tied for the most medalists.

Thanks for confirming you don’t have an issue with pride flags in schools

Agree on a rainbow flag. The one with the triangles and whatnot is probably debatable

How else would you determine if it was a Nazi salute? I mean, other than what seems to be the current trend of just taking someone else’s word for it

So to confirm, you don’t have an issue with pride flags in schools? I wouldn’t have said anything about it if you didn’t post it here, I really only started posting on this part of the forum recently because I was bored

It’s a campaign flag. You wouldn’t have any issue with a teacher displaying a “Biden/Harris 2020” sign from 2021-2024? So I take it you don’t think this is inappropriate (I do)? Otherwise you’re proving your hypocrisy. This is just a rainbow, nothing wrong with this IMO

Just during the OT though. The RT from the first 7 minutes is erased

Selling wrestling as the feeder system for the UFC doesn’t detract from it also being the feeder system for freestyle wrestling. I’m not saying wrestling has “an obligation” to MMA, but a lot of people are interested in MMA and I don’t have the data off the top of my head but IMO Jiu-Jitsu (which also doesn’t involve being punched) seems to be capitalizing more on it’s popularity than wrestling. But like I said, college wrestling already is the minor leagues of freestyle wrestling. If your argument is you think we’d see more than maybe a handful more people “making wrestling their full-time job” if college was freestyle, I disagree. College folkstyle seems to do a pretty good job in preparing guys for freestyle success.

When was the last time someone won a match by getting 1:00 of riding time as the clock hit 0:00? But honestly, as I think about it more I feel like that would actually be exciting. I do think we need to do something about 1 second of riding time deciding 2OT matches though.

That’d be more exciting IMO than winning 1-1 on criteria from 2 shot clock points because the ref felt it was the other guy’s turn to get hit for passivity

Wrestling probably should bill itself as the minor leagues of MMA, TBH. MMA seems to be what is driving things like the growth in jiu jitsu participation for kids, even though if I had to bet wrestling is probably the most common experience among successful UFC fighters. Professional leagues are “happening,” but how successful are they (honest question)? Not nearly as successful as the UFC I’m sure

Seems inappropriate for a school setting, no?
