I think it's a match, either way. How do you think the match goes? Best Collegiate Folkstyle HWT version of each?

I see where it wouldn't be cumulative. It does explicitly state that includes everything from that year and the prior calendar year, though. Meaning If he waited for 2026, he wouldn't have to pay for 2024, just 2025/2026.

There are criteria for compensation in the transfer package. Unfortunately for Massoumi his U20, U23, and Asian Games medals go against him for transferring, as I believe that puts his buyout at something like $510K ($300k plus plus 10% to UWW. Fortunately for Masoumi, this would make him eligible for 2028, which puts him at the Olympics for Armenia. I believe that is the end-goal. He would be able to wrestle at events like the Bill Farrell, but he wouldn't be able to wrestle at UWW events (ranking series, continental championships, Olympic qualifiers, etc.). That is all if it goes by the button. There might be some sort of waiver process to get him to compete sooner, I don't know. Now were he to wait for the end of 2026 to apply rather than 2025, compensation would be like $15k, but he would not be eligible for the Olympic games in 2028. Also, the amount is USD I listed, it's CHF, which is like 1.1-1, meaning over $600k USD as of right now.

Got the CAL part correct. Pat on back sent.

The max used to be like 10 or 20, right? Then @BobDole gave us like 1,000 or some randomly high number. That means you did a lot today.

Honestly, it kind of does. Someone at Flo was writing the article based off the internal results of the vote. Makes sense to me, actually.

The thing that annoyed me about their 133lb rankings was that the way it was mentioned that Arujau not only defeated RBY but won a Worlds title in comparison to how Stieber technically beat Oliver (and not a mention of his Worlds title). Obvious bias. Actually just re-read it and no mention of beating Oliver in the summary part, either. Clearly made up mind.

I thought it pertained to Worlds or Olympics only?

That would be called verbal irony, I believe?

Until we see him at 240lbs and functional, I am not quite ready to annoint him unbeatable. I could see any of these guys keeping it a one score, or zero takedown match. Doucet, Mirasola, Hopke, Attao, Amos, Carroll, and a few others are also wildcards, too. I believe if he is as functional (or better), then he'll likely drop a match or two he probably shouldn't, but ultimately be one of the favorites going in to NCAAs - as I don't see anybody he can't beat right now.

Focus had a tear in something. MCL, I think? He was on pitch count so he could get to NCAAs. He said at one point for nearly a month he couldn't barely bend his knee, let alone shoot properly.

I don't think it was Arnold's anyways. They were pretty even.

Nebraska is still Tier 3. To be Tier 2 they would need to have better than a fart's chance in a $HlT storm against Penn State. They still do not.

I have a solid idea who it might be.

Oh god.

I am not saying Minny doesn't best Rutgers. Actually, I say the opposite. I am saying I don't see Minny taking a dual against Iowa, Nebraska, or the Ohio State. I could see Rutgers or Michigan doing it, though. You know how I do my tiers, brosef. Can't skip one unless something ridiculous happens (say, for example, one side is missing five starters and the other is not).

"It's far too early in the season for terrible grammar." FIFY

For dual purposes? Rutgers is salty. I don't see Minny beating Iowa, Nebraska, or Ohio State - if full starting lineups are there. Rutgers/Michigan might be able to sneak one. Also, I did say might need to combine 4/5.

Oops. Probably 7.

No. Just... no. Tier 1 - Penn State Tier 2 - Empty Nobody is sniffing Penn State. Ergo, there is no Tier 2. Tier 3 - Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio State Tier 4 - Rutgers, Michigan Tier 5 - Minnesota, Illinois Tier 6 - EMPTY Tier 7 - Maryland, Purdue Tier 8 - Northwestern, Michigan State Might need to move Tier 4 in to Tier 5 and leave Tier 3 on an island as well.

Allred is overranked. There are wrestlers ranked below him that he will lose to, without a doubt.

This year's MFS senior rep at 79 KG (174lbs) will have to retire from Folkstyle.

I must also add that I was on my phone and not looking at wrestlestat... legit rattling names off the top of my head.

Wrestlestat ratings, brotha - not rankings. It goes off all the results, not just the last tournament (which should probably be factored in, I agree). Also, Kasak destroyed Taylor twice last season. Destroyed. Whereas Taylor lost to Blaze, Kasak, Kasak, and Askey. Again: Ratings, not rankings, determined by a formula taking all results in to account. Sinclair is currently 'ranked' at 197 on Wrestlestat, that is why he isn't there. Also add in that he had two Major Decision losses (Plott, #5@184 and Buchanan, #1@197lbs) and two regular decision losses (Volker, 12@197 and Smith, #23@197), and his rating is only good for 1517.39 on Wrestlestat's Elo system. That is good enough for #8 at 197lbs and #9 at 184lbs. In media rankings wrestlers will get a pass on some losses, especially as the season progresses. That doesn't happen with wrestlestat's ratings system. Unfortunately, a loss to Smith in November is just as damning as a loss to Smith in February. As far as McEnelly? He had a lot of close wins. Those don't help when using a computer program that factors in margin of victory (a 4-1 OT victory of Bullock, for example). Ferrari's close matches were to Plott (victory) and Starocci.
