I would think it’d be more likely to be a younger or scrawnier guy, like Davis, Stanich, or Ayala

I don’t see him making the semis, but I could certainly see him knocking off someone that many people would pick to do so

I think the official explanation for Bartlett/Hardy was technically that the ref thought Bartlett was indicating he was injured… Different situations of course but I believe Askren’s argument was potentially dangerous shouldn’t exist at all. Starocci kinda just proved it should. Edit: but you should be called for stalling if you put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation more than once.

I believe Willie said that Larkin was “getting really big,” but not sure exactly how big…

If he wins Pac 12’s he should get a top 10 seed, probably even better. Of course would still be a good value there if he wins

Yeah watching that a few times, Starocci definitely did that to himself

Wasn’t that Joey Silva, representing Puerto Rico?

Agree. Would be nice to see Teske AA, that guy has had quite the journey in college.

1 year suspension. There is chatter that he is planning to get a medical RS for 2022

There’s been some inconsistency in how it’s called like all stalling calls, but overall I do think the rule change has resulted in more action from the mat

Was a reason given for no Crookham against ASU? Weren’t he and Chlebove from the same area in HS?

Crazy to me that Kurt McHenry only has 18 total D1 matches in 5 years (with 11 of them last season). I know he’s small, but he shouldn’t be losing to a true freshman from Binghamton

Not sure why you deleted your post, that time you posted is really impressive. Sounds like you could’ve made 197 in college then though

This seems like a lot heading into conference tourneys. And in theory all but 2 of these (1 of Haines/Lee and Bastida/Hendrickson) can stay undefeated after conference tourneys.

What about Ben?

This is exactly what I thought of after seeing this clip. If the ref calls PD a second earlier here, this may not have happened. But if he did you’d have had people complaining that he shouldn’t have stopped it. Edit: I do wonder if Askren would put this in the category of “he did this to himself” though. He kinda did, by stepping over then turning back, but it seemed like it was the opponent getting to his stomach (which obviously is what he should have been trying to do), that caused the injury.

Are we counting redshirts? If not, as much love as some of PSU’s backups have gotten, I doubt they’d crack the top 20 or so (which of course is still impressive). Barraclaugh and Cochran look like they’d have a good shot at AA’ing, and maybe Evans, but that’s about it. But if you count redshirts you can add Facundo and Barr.

I’ll go: Spratley dec Ayala 3-0 OSU Fix maj Schriever 7-0 Woods dec Jamison 7-3 Williams dec Rathjen 10-3 Franek dec Travis 10-6 Olejnik dec Caliendo 13-6 Kennedy dec Thompson 13-9 Arnold dec Plott 13-12 Surber dec Glazier 16-12 Kueter FALL Doucet 18-16 Iowa

He’s kinda established himself as the favorite at this point yes, but he still has 3 NCAA losses

Good point, especially since most of the teams in the race for 2nd have a good 125

Also looks like it’s on Fubo for anyone that still has a free trial to use

I think kinda the opposite TBH. I doubt the winner of either the B12 or B10 tourney wins NCAA’s. These guys are so close that it’s going to be tough to beat guys multiple times in a row (unless they can somehow avoid them in the bracket), and because they’re so close, seeding won’t really matter. For example last year Ramos got majored by DeAugustino at B10’s. But then of course Ramos made the NCAA finals and DeAugustino went 1-2.

But you’re just proving the point that it is pretty common for guys to bump up from 197 (or lower in the case of Kasper) and do just as good or better at heavyweight…

Well similar to what I said earlier, I don’t necessarily think McKee should be ranked higher, but I don’t understand how there is such a big gap in the points system. Kaylor has good wins, but multiple bad losses. McKee’s only bad loss is Jordan and it was like the second week of the season. I think McKee would have a similar record to Kaylor with his schedule. I don’t see more than 6 or 7 possible losses on that list for McKee - Ayala, Spratley, Davis, Jordan, Volk, Provo - I don’t think he loses to more than 1, maybe 2 of the other guys but he also likely beats 1 or 2 from the first list.

In the sense that he shouldn’t actually be seeded 33 It was factored into rankings which was likely what gave him the edge in seeding
