When I say he tried a little bit I am lying. He didn't.

Merritt wrestle Schwartz tough for four minutes, was outclassed for two minutes, then tried a little bit for one minute.

What happened to Montalvo?

Who are you hearing this from? I am hearing conflicting information. Edit: When I say hearing, I should say heard. My info is closing in on two months old. In any case my points on Lamer still stand as appropriately labeled.

Oh!? I know Negron is also trying to make Puerto Rico's Olympic team. Interesting that he isn't trying to go 74 KG (163lbs) when he looked TINY for 165 last year. Tall, yeah... but no meat. That said he was 79 KG for U23s before last year... also tiny btw. Maybe we see some sort of Shakur improvement up the weight.

I do as well. My problem is that I pay for Flo and there are at least three things wrong with putting Lamer at 141. 1 - Wrong weight (duh) 2 - That points to not paying any attention to last season and what weight he was wrestling 3 - Ignoring Ragusin's existence entirely. No mention of the Lemley being an option up at 149 with Gilcher, and the first option right now is Mayora. If one of the other three-ish gents prove themselves to be able to score points at nationals - that is when we see them pull their shirt. No mention of the slew of 197lbers that will be throwing their hats in the ring. No mention of the potential (and likely) inclusion of Gomez. This should have been an easy cut/paste job with real discussion at two weight classes (149/197). There needn't be any real discussion at the other weight classes. As cut and dry as you get, really.

I wrestled in college. Ended up being okay at it I guess.

Clarijustification post...

It was an honest assessment, not sneaky. I think they have the same peak performance capabilities, but styles make matches. I think (a healthy) Kharchla beats Lewis and a healthy Lewis does not lose to Welsh.

You need to look at their X (Twitter) feed. They keep putting that THE in front of ER'RYTHANG!

I never said Kharch would lose.

Flo's preview isn't so bad. No real insights as to who will start or mentions of possible injuries, but not so bad... https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11421118-2023-virginia-tech-vs-ohio-state-wrestling-dual-preview-prediction

We already have somewhat of a discussion going on about this over in tOSU Club portion:

Also Mirzo, the transfer folks were hoping would be down at 157 beat teammate true frosh AJ Heeg at the Broncho Open this last weekend... at 174.

No mention of Alvarez in this article from Flo: https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11421866-vets-new-names-hoping-to-spur-oklahoma-state-bounce-back-cowboy-insider Alvarez is listed at 141 on the 'official' OSU roster list: https://okstate.com/sports/wrestling/roster/2023-24

I think you're right. Which means he is wrestling for Bronze against Aliyev (AZE). Not a gimme. A loss there puts him up against Amouzad (IRA) for the Oly wrestle-off. Not a gimme. One thing that Rivera gets right, as well as Amine mind you, is that they are so fundamentally solid. They don't overreach and get themselves out of position too often. It doesn't surprise me that Rivera made his run with the opponents he had along the way. Lee extends himself quite often because he doesn't like to let off the gas tank - at all.

Something simple they could (should) do for those matches is do a non-live commentary afterwards. I would think that they wouldn't have an unmanageable load to do come Monday morning and two or three of them could get through them within an hour (or two). Not every one of them, mind you - just the ones that are going to get the most clicks, which I am sure they have the data for by Monday anyways (providing it was a Saturday tournament). Edit: Also, I got that as well with what Spey was saying. It was short-sighted of me to not get that to begin with and just get frustrated. That said... like I said... Thiccc really fckn came in and snuck him there for the KO.

Yeah Thiccc bust out the check and mate there all at once.

Lol yeah

Their 'Michigan Insider' isn't very good. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11416884-michigan-wrestling-loaded-with-depth-and-talent-wolverines-insider I felt it a requirement to offer my services.

I really had no other way to describe him.

You're allowed an opinion, I will give you that. Your also allowed to know that your opinion is wrong. You're welcome.

Straight to the damn point. That is why I like you.

I hate myself for you being sucked in, too.
