I think the thought process is that he lost to Abas last year, who lost to Fernandez (Cornell) at NCAAs and Buesgens (NC State) at ACCs. Doesn't seem to go much further than that. Edit: Freestyle results don't count/matter.

Because people. I'm people.

Dream draws for everyone. It was impressive.

Always hoping for great things for Davis (Penn State/Dundee), Horwath (Iowa State/Michigan/Davison), and Heethus (Princeton/Detroit Catholic Central). All three went round and round for years in Michigan.

Cassar is a 205lber in MMA now (weighed 202.6lbs his last weigh-in).

One thing of note is that, and this could just be the rum talking (I know... I know... 8:40 AM on a Tuesday while you're at a school!?), but he looked leaner when he was a Junior in HS compared to now. If that is the case, then he has lost some mass during a critical growing point in his life, while attempting to stay within striking distance of 70 KG. I imagine the first MFS tournament we see him enter after Worlds/U23s will be telling (Bill Farrell at 74 KG anyone?).

I didn't mean to advocate for that, I just also didn't care to post a bunch of his shit that I don't agree with (but can't disagree with because I don't have the time nor have I put the effort in to gathering the data/stats for it).

Oliver is still a competitor (in MMA) and is in excellent shape. We saw what happened with Nolf when he took one season away. It would be a slaughter.

You need to go back a few days and they're all there. He essentially believes a few things: - We need new fans, not the old fans. - Pumping money in to this instead of things at a more base level seems silly (meaning fund programs rather than these events). - This will fail because all other versions of it have failed.

Nomad needs to come here and educate us on how it isn't sustainable. I say that tongue-in-cheek, but I suppose I really shouldn't. He has talked about it endlessly since before RAF1 and believes he has the numbers to prove his point. Meander through his feed, if you want to know some of those specifics. I can't disagree with him, because I am ignorant on a lot of the details. He seems to have done the research.

There is no real connection. It is simply the closest MAC school to where he grew up (South Bend, IN). I just want him to finish strong. I don't see him being able to make 165 and with the Mantanona bros now listed at 174 and 184 respectfully, I am having trouble seeing where he fits. He has his degree. He could go anywhere that needs a fringe NQ level guy at 174/184 and make one good final run.

I mean... Frank the Tank looks down on Nicky Pushups, and Frank the Tank was a manlet at 65 KG.

It's hard to disagree with you, so I won't. He's a manlet. He can't suddenly grow four inches taller and be the right size to go 65 KG.

Close to being back? At what weight? In what capacity? There are those on Twitter who advocate that Nicky Pushups is going to be Nicky Deadlifts and go 65 KG for 2028 OTT.

Who goes 157 if Cannon cannot hold it? I like the idea of Paddy being able to spend a whole season at 165lbs more than him dropping to 157lbs late because he gets beat out by Cannon (which I am not totally certain that happens... I imagine Cannon is forced to suck the weight the balance of the season if/when he realizes the cut is too much). On the flipside, were Kharch to get hurt, could we see Cannon go up to 174 mid-season? That would be wild.

Her fiance is very good at Jitz isn't he? Baby is going to come out looking for underhooks and armbars.

Curious how God would appreciate him associating himself with an alleged r*pist...

I mean... he was the best in the world prior to injury for two years, so I imagine he acclimated himself kindly to that weight. That said, I hope we see near-peak form from him. The higher level of wrestling we get at Worlds, the happier I am.

Interesting in that now that Beau Mantanona is now listed at 174lbs, even with Joe Walker on the roster. Does this mean Joe Walker is heading to 165lbs? Does this mean that 157/165 is going to be a wrestler by committee until someone (or sometwo) kids separate themselves? That means for 157/165 we could see any of these kids spot start (or even solidify themselves as the starter): - A. Galacha (157) - Z. Walker (157) - C. Hilton (157) - C. Catrabone (157/165) - D. Gilcher (157/165) - J. Gates (157/165) - J. Walker (165) - J. Knudten (165) I think, if the intention for Joe Walker is to compete for a spot and Beau is heading to 174lbs, then Joe is headed to 165lbs. That is all theoretical, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Joe end up at Northern Illinois 2nd semester (think Lehigh HWT last season). I don't want to see it, but I just don't see how Walker could make 165lbs. He has been very lean for a very long time at Michigan. Big fan of his, so I do hope he can finish his career healthy. All this said, if Walker is coming back and is heading to 165lbs, I think that makes him the front-runner there. I would think that Catrabone would be the front-runner at 157lbs. That leaves Gilcher and Gates next up at either of those weights and trying to earn those spots as well. Those would be my top four favorites for those two weight classes - mind you, if Walker plays the spot starting role at 174/184 for the Mantanona bros, then the 157/165 becomes a three man race between the other three (my thinkings).

Ghas nearly took Sadulaev out, and it was because I honestly think Sadulaev was surprised with how strong Ghasempour was. That was at 92 KG, but if Ghasempour maintains that strength down 6 KG, there isn't anyone who's going to be able to combat that very well. USA's Valencia might be able to if he can keep from getting under him (sweep singles, etc), but I don't know that he can do that for six minutes - and if he cannot, Ghas will gas Valencia.

Has he even been training? Nolf has at the very least been involved in the sport still, and look how much he regressed. Wick couldn't score on him before, all respects due. Fix has been injured, but he's still intent on being our 2028 rep at 57 KG.

We saw this last year. Fix, who didn't perform that well the following round against Gillman, beat him soundly.

I love that for her... but hate that for USA Women's Wrestling.

I think they're both just good dudes. Body posture from Pindrickson told me he wants that smoke.
