Mr. PeanutButter

The difference is that I believe RBY is simply better, and by a decent margin so my expectation is that he should be scoring more than he is/has, even against my guy DeSanto. DeSanto is a bruiser, I love watching him wrestle but I wouldn't say it is "breathtaking" int the same way as watching RBY wrestle. Fix is also a shuffler/dancer but with a boring ride that involves grabbing the opponent's junk. I don't expect Fix to score many points against RBY nor do I criticize him for failing to do so because I think RBY is simply better.

When RBY "goes", it's breathtaking to witness. I want to see more of that. I could use less of the shuffling and strategic back pedaling.

What are some examples of "technical wrestlers"? It's undeniable that he enjoys a significant strength advantage but I guess I don't understand your assertion that he isn't a "technical wrestlers" given that he has a much higher finishing rate on his shots, rarely breaks position, doesn't engage in any silly ankle/funk rolls. You admitted in a previous post that you haven't watched many of his more recent matches soooo.... How much confidence can you have in your own opinions

There are a few neanderthals on HR that might think that but to state that (all/most) Iowa fans are convinced of a Lee pin is a mischaracterization of the fan base. Hawk fans have a lot of respect for RBY's skill. We would simply like to see a little less dancing and a little more scoring

Then he should cut. Or, if he's gunning for a challenge, why not bump up to face Real?

Yeah, if either Rathjen or Schriever wrestle at this thing, I am throwing a riot

Nah. He doesnt get much bonus and has little top game. He might score bonus points against Princeton and Binghamptom but I would be surprised to see him major either Xapf or Xassi

Quick pin call but Assad shouldn't be giving up 6 points to someone with a 5-9 record or whatever Sheesh what a dual. Definitely raised the blood pressure a bit

Wow. That's just, ew

2nd time Lee has given up nearfall this season.

He does have a win over Courtney (as well as Kaylor and Dean Peterson x2, but I don't think these are top 15 guys). I hear your overall point though. He probably doesn't deserve a #2 seed if he misses a bunch of matches at 125, but, assuming that's his weight for conferences, he is very likely going to be the only other undefeated 125er so I'm not sure who could be seeded above him.

Did he weigh in light? As to your question, even if he splits time between 125 and 133 until conferences, he's likely to go undefeated so who would you seed ahead of him?

So this is what the coaching staff meant when they talked about a "modified" weigh-in schedule

Even at 133, Glory outsized Rini

Real looked a little average

Teske looking average.

Amine had a lethargic match against Berge last year after returning from a layoff. Similar performance tonight. Good match from Facundo, still.

Did he weigh in light? Wrestling Rini right now

In other news, just because I know this thread is getting the most attention right now, Pat Glory just made his 133 debut

I have been staying off of the Levi Haines hype train and although I'm not ready to buy a ticket, I am ready to buy into him as an AA contender

So let's just settle for crappy wrestling? I like RBY. I'm not trying to hate on him just for the sake of hating. I think he can, and should, be taking down Ragusin multiple times. This is the time of year where PSU historically looks like they're training through so perhaps I should give the boys in blue some more slack

Who gives a crap about riding time? We talking about riding time right now, really? RBY scored 0 points in the third period. And that's the whole point, he is capable of so much more

4-2 passes for domination these days? No wonder Tsirtsis was a multi time Hodge winner

Bruv, have you been watching Pinto?!?! He is the next destroyer of worlds! But in all seriousness, I concur with your picks. Hardy is a great test for Woods. I hope he's healthy and ready to go

Lee could wrestle all of his remaining matches (ie, no ducking) and end each one with a 1st period fall and Id still put him behind Kyle. Not Lee's fault, beating David Taylor and winning 4 titles across 4 different weights is simply too big of an advantage in Dake's favor for Lee to overcome. Now, If Covid had never happened and had Lee wrestled last year - beating some combo of Vito, Suriano, and Glory in the process then maybe we could have entertained this discussion
