Lol the fact that they wrote about his biography in a writeup about him proves something? Brilliant. The article clearly shows that his single season is what won the award.
Also, WIN has been very clear that there are four criteria and only four criteria.
What's your lineup of the easiest-to-root-for guys? I'll go first
125: Stevo Poulin - my life be like ooo ahhh
133: Lucas Byrd - "Byrd's got a 6'3" girlfriend!"
141: Brock Hardy - bounced back from memeship
149: Ridge Lovett - hard wrestling + anime pose
157: Joey Blaze - been in little bro's shadow
165: Terrell Barraclough - patience is a virtue
174: Dean Hamiti - fourth year senior made the last one count
184: Parker Keckeisen - does it the right way
197: Mac Stout - forced to compete against his brother
285: Wyatt Hendrickson - captain america, maximum aura
Gable is a generational wrestler. No other weight class has a wrestler on his level.
I disagree that techs are as dominant as pins, but if you want to equate them, then Wyatt had 21 combined pins/techs and MM had 18. And Wyatt was robbed of a pin against Feldman, he had him on his back when he called for injury time and then defaulted.
Yes it was. It was in the lead-up to this year's All Star Classic. in September of this school year. He also said "I’ll go up in weight just to bend you over in front of the world."
...and shoved a kids face in the mat and lost a team point for unsportsmanlike conduct, and said he would spit on jordan burroughs, and said he would piss on his opponent's grave...
I don't follow this bit of logic.
They both wrestled one season this year. The award is for what they did this season. Jokic and SGA won't be judged on prior seasons when the NBA MVP votes are cast.
Carter lost a team point for unsportsmanlike conduct in the Lehigh dual. That's an objective data point, but I think sportsmanship is primarily subjective.
