Not per the seeds.

Like... I am okay not discussing this anymore because I actually think it is weak and pathetic to be on Pyle's ballsac over this. I seriously dislike that guy's character for many reasons already. This doesn't add to it for me. It can for you. Free rent.

There was obviously ulterior motive in the Willie crap. The definition of wrong is the same in every dictionary and not a matter or moral factors. He did nothing wrong. Lack of maturity, sure. That was par for the discussion already as Borelli had already showed the same level of class... before Pulendid.

Like... I don't even like Pyle. This whole rhetoric that he did something wrong is pathetic.

If you want to fabricate something from twisted information just like the turdbiscuit on Twatter, go ahead. Free country. Pyle not once said American or any wrestler or coach from American didn't matter. So, turn the other cheek just like the coach did(n't) right? Weak.

They all made sense so I was like 'Cool shit.'

Also, @flyingcement, I legit thought your OP was the results for a bit.

Yes.

On twatter? This week? Nope.

Every Top 5 seed at 165 has bonused both their prior matches so far. Two out of ten are Majors, the rest are Pin or Tech.

So turn the other cheek mentality when idiots and ignorami run rampant in your comments? Had he done that we would be talking about his lack of testicular fortitude. He did nothing wrong.

Oh god. @Husker_Du?!

Are the six the same guys as the top five?

Maybe, and that is a respectful maybe, a dozen or more other guys have the potential to beat Giddens, but the other five are heavy favorites to wrestle to seed. Injuries and off-days (and on-days) happen, but those top three especially? They're not going to lose to anyone not seeded in the Top 6.

Per what DT was talking about he was currently 15lbs less than last year and wanted to get a little lighter. Being as he weighed in at 256.2lbs at B1Gs, I took that as him being ~241.2lbs from DT himself.

WCAP is in as of now. All the usual suspects there plus Morgan McIntosh (Penn State) as well.

Rankings aren't an opinion based thing. They should be based off actual results, not necessarily placement(s).

Look at these two babyfaces...

Interesting that Wrestlestat has Pitzer over Feldman via 10-2 Major and Masita over Pitzer via 11-10 Decision. Something is off on their projections right now.

Still did it while he was in school at a College Open, though.

Bouzakis will have a chance to avenge an earlier loss to Santaniello. Mendez at Matthews is a trap match for Mendez. Matthews has been wrestling very off/down this year so far. He is capable of winning the 141lb bracket at NCAAs, so don't let that 3W-3L record fool you. I don't think 149 or 157 will be close, in favor of tOSU and I don't think 285 will be close, in favor of Pitt (unless Feldman wrestles). That leaves seven matches that will be a grind on both sides.

Wrestlestat gives it a 26-6 victory for the Buckeyes. https://www.wrestlestat.com/compare/perma/687/ohio-state-vs-pittsburgh

The last time he trimmed down to 232lbs (there is/was video proof of him stepping on a scale for this) was in 2021, when he won the U23 World Championships - the final was a 13-0 THRASHING of a gent from Greece. He weighed in at NCAAs that year at 263. You're talking a few months between for 30lbs. The history is there for him having done it already, so it shouldn't really be that much of a shock. If he knew in May that is seven months. Hell, even if he still planned on it, there were rumors of both him and Kerk descending towards 97 KG for Olympic Trials, anyways. I don't remember if those were before or after. Kerk has also trimmed off 15-20lbs and plans to get lighter, yet. Another factor is perhaps he didn't like how he felt last year (~255lbs) compared to two years ago (~240lbs). Come May he might have already been back to 240. What is 10-15lbs from there in even a few months for a big guy? It isn't like he is going to walk around at a weight he has never walked around at. I imagine his walk around is in the 230-235lb range leading up and he plans to cut from 225 to 97 KK (213.8lbs).
