New angle of explosion. Some seem to think this shows him as alive before the explosion, but not sure about that myself

True. He’s not super active on x but he did repost something about Tyler Knox from Midlands. His bio also says “Stanford ‘26” which would suggest he’s not graduating this year. It would however suggest he might graduate before he uses his eligibility.

Yeah, kinda, because most of the guys that weigh 275+ are slow and not that technical. Nash Hutmacher, B1G football player cutting from over 300 lbs almost lost to a backup 197 last year.

Stanford does have Hayden Hidlay on staff…

Speaking of 125, 3rd seeded #24 Charlie Farmer of Army went 1-2 losing to 2 Campbell guys. First lost to Molton, then Cooper Shore.

Jordan over McHenry 5-4 At 157, top seed but unranked (although the # 2 seed is ranked 25th) Noah Castillo of UTC goes down to Jack Neis of American Ryder and both Mirasolas into the quarters

Kueter’s choice was extraordinary because usually someone that has any chance at the NFL will choose football because of the potential money, not because of the lack of a 220 weight class. Even if you added 50 new guys which I doubt, you’d probably be taking 50-75 guys from each of 197 and heavyweight, leaving 197/220/285 at around 200 guys each which would be about 20% lower than any other weight.

Is Tate Picklo Benjamin Button? High school: 195 Redshirt year: 184 Freshman/sophomore years: 174 Junior year: 165 Will we see him go 157 next year?

Can you name a HS wrestler that chose not to wrestle in college because of the lack of a weight between 197 and heavyweight? I’m sure it’s happened but likely the exception to the rule. @Wrestleknownothing shared this chart about a year ago when we were having this discussion. 184 and 197 appear to have the lowest number of participants in D1, so splitting them up into a third weight would just water them all down. I don’t have an issue with 97kg internationally (and as I’ve been saying I think shifting both 184 and 197 makes sense to better align with that). If we changed the international weights though 92kg is probably the one that should go

Jordan vs McHenry next round

Ok so to @Husker_Du’s question, who “moved on” because there was a Hendrickson or Kerkvliet that they’d have to eventually meet? Not to mention Kerk himself only weighed 255 last season and IIRC was in the 230’s in his earlier years.

Speculation but that would be my guess. If it’s someone that is not in the portal, it would be a Yianni moment for Cenzo, who previously went on Basch’s podcast to complain about Woods being recruited to Iowa from Stanford.

TY sir, so at the B1G last year 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th all weighed in under 240. I guess @bnwtwg was right with his Jacob Warner comment…if there was a 220 class maybe some guys would place one spot higher… Case closed that we don’t need both 197 & 220?

Didn’t notice that, good catch

I’m sure some of these guys have since grown to larger than 235, but below are all guys that wrestled 197 or lower at some point in college (and I could have missed some) just this season! (Flo rankings) Bastida (#4) Trumble (#5) Ghadiali (#6) 2 years ago Lance Runyon (#17) was 5-7 wrestling 174 (!). This season he is 7-2 wrestling heavyweight Cory Day (#19) wrestled 184 in 2020, heavyweight in 2021, 184 in 2021, back to heavyweight since Lucas Stoddard (#23) was listed as a 197 during his grayshirt year although did not wrestle any matches Brett Mower (#25). Last year at 197 he got pinned by 4 different backups, looks like he had one win over a D1 starter, a guy from Cal Baptist that was 4-17. Funny story! The guy from Cal Baptist started at heavyweight for Buffalo the previous season, and was 14-12. This year Mower is 9-5 with wins over 3 different Big 12 starters. Trevor Tinker (#31) Gavin Hoffman wrestled 184 last season, apparently will be wrestling heavyweight this season William Jarrell of American (NR by Flo, #23 on WS) was 7-24 as a freshman 197. This season he is 10-4. Gabe Christenson (NR by Flo, #30 on WS) Daulton Mayer (NR by Flo, #32 on WS) In addition, I believe Feldman, Kueter and Pitzer (among others I’m sure) were 215-220 in HS.

Where does one find this?

We are also just getting into the more significant dual season

Does Sinclair have any dates left? No redshirt?

So he went from rural Georgia to Wyoming Seminary for better wrestling and education, then Iowa City after committing to Iowa? Don’t see anything fishy about that. Did he even go to high school in Georgia? This article says he spent three years at Wyoming Seminary (with his family still living in Georgia), and he got recruited by Kueter to go to Iowa City - https://www.kcrg.com/2022/12/25/gabe-arnolds-move-iowa-city-has-been-seamless-off-mat/

Wasn’t one of those to move to Iowa City presumably so he could train at HWC?

Cael at least usually wrestles his full lineup for the big duals

Speculation or has he said this?

I’m leaning towards the cybertruck thing just being a suicide and he didn’t want to take out anyone else. But definitely weird way to do it, and the similarities between that and the New Orleans attack are also weird.
