I wish Arujau and Stalrocci would just bite the bullet and go up, honestly. They are both already insanely lean at 61 KG/133lbs and 79 KG/174lbs.

His team already knows how to do it and stay close. They did it with Johnny D for 2022 (wrestled 149 all season to drop to 65 KG). 149lbs -> 65 KG = 5.7lbs/2.6 KG (~4%) 133lbs -> 57 KG = 7.3lbs/3.3 KG (~6%) It will be more difficult based purely off numbers but the coaching staff has done it pretty recently. Two factors that are quite different in the two, not including Johnny D and Arujau being completely different people, are that I don't think 149 had a legitimate challenger for Johnny D. I think 133 does, in Fix. That said, Fix is also going to be playing the weight-watcher game.

Hahahaha... it isn't Brain. He doesn't have that sort of patience to troll us in this sort of long game. He has way too much shit going on already.

Austin O'Connor wanted to date who?

He pinned Lovett two B1Gs ago. He pinned RBY on January 1st, 2019 at 133lbs. That match has zero relevance to today.

Last word.

These are all good... now tell me how you think they would go in a Round Robin, gents... Give me best version of each wrestler and how you think a Round Robin goes (meaning MM can only be once, Dean once, etc) Same to you, please. While I was thinking 184 for UNI I remembered that at one point Cornell was considered '184U' for a bit there. Going back a bit with the Snyder one... but okay. Give me yours. And ONLY use their best college season and folkstyle results please. 157 JB =/= 165 JB =/= Freestyle 74 KG or 79 KG JB Not bad, but Ramos was only 125 as a redshirt. That Ramos gets torn apart - HARD. Likely Clark does as well too as he was the best version of himself at 133. How do you think that Round Robin goes? I think Spencer beats McDonough beats Gilman (keep in mind 57 KG weaponized Gilman =/= 125lb collegiate Gilman) beats Clark beats Ramos. See above, mate. Technically counts... but 125 Ramos was small and meek compared to his collegiately successful 133lb Ramos.

The Mirasola twins both registered at 86 KG and 97 KG, respectively.

Now Woodley needs to somehow get that Oklahoman Bono to let him wrastle.

Hehehhehehehehehehehe Haaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Last word.

Never said that. Don't be stupid. You can choose to ignore everything I said of you wish. It only makes you look even more stupid.

I am hoping to see them at one tournament in some way, shape, or form before or at OTT for 86 KG. Foster has proven to be the better 86 KG guy having made it further when they have been in the same brackets.

Who is this inmate?

I don't think Brands at anything other than 174 is a good thing. He is tough and hard-nosed... can handfight and claw with the best of 'em... but he isn't big enough for 184. We saw that already. I think it would need to be Swafford or Caliendo at 184 with PK at 165. PK is also too small for anything other than 165. He has the head of a 197lber, though.

I think Lujan just wouldn't have anything for Keckeisen. At all. While I do think Foster could make it interesting with PK I do think Lujan also has a very real chance to beat Foster. I barely remember Loder, but I know he would very much be in the matches (he was up there towards 120 career wins wasn't he and a three time Blood Round loser - taking 7th his soph or junior season?). I think Caldwell is out of his element entirely.

Greetings All, I was meandering about... being a fan and all that. I randomly decided to think about how I wanted Parker Keckeisen to go 197 last season because of how soundly Brooks had defeated him at the NWCA All-Star Classic. Some schools just churn out badass after badass after badass at certain weights... It then got me thinking about the last ten years of wrestling at schools and we currently have a PK thread on the front page here. If we were to go back the last ten years (easy to use Wrestlestat to help although once you're before 2015/2016 the ELO ratings are complete shit)... anyways... if we were to go back ten years we have UNI with five (5) different starters who were all NQ previously. How does a Round Robin go with these gents... Parker Keckeisen (2021 3rd, 2022 3rd, 2023 2nd) Taylor Lujan (2020 1st - Seeded #1 in cancelled 2020 NC) Drew Foster (2017 7th, 2018 R16, 2019 1st) Cody Caldwell (2015 DNQ, 2016 DNQ) Ryan Loder (2014 R12) To break it further down... SEASON WRESTLER WINS LOSSES PLACE ELO 2023 Parker Keckeisen 26 2 2nd 1628 2022 Parker Keckeisen 30 2 3rd 1574 2021 Parker Keckeisen 18 1 3rd 1507 2020 Taylor Lujan 28 2 1st 1562 2019 Drew Foster 28 5 1st 1528 2018 Drew Foster 26 6 NQ 1473 2017 Drew Foster 26 6 7th 1465 2016 Cody Caldwell 8 10 DNQ 1300 2015 Cody Caldwell 14 8 DNQ 1305 2014 Ryan Loder 15 4 R12 1399 I am curious how folks think a Round Robin looks here. This is what I think... Keckeisen - 4W-0L Foster - 3W-1L Lujan - 2W-2L Loder - 1W-3L Caldwell - 0W-4L Another reason I bring this up is that had PK gone 197 last year I imagine he would have gone it this year, which puts Wyatt Voelker at 184 for them... which he still can do after PK graduates (or next season?). Just dabbling and bored. Discuss.

He isn't moving the goalposts, you're just being intentionally dense and it is frustrating for a factual guy like Wkn. Quit being a dolt.

Fair, yes.

All signs point to that, yes.

I agree with everything you said. I still think Ulry - Andonion - Brady is their best 1 - 2 - 3 punch at 157-174 if Lewis goes up.

I am with you here. It makes more sense (to me).

Curious what they have on tap insofar as matches. Would be awesome to see a Brooks - Buchanan or Brooks - Elam match out the gate at 197. Here is my wish list... 125 - Jakob Comacho, NC State VS Matt Ramos, Purdue 133 - Aaron Nagao, Penn State VS Sam Latona, Virginia Tech 141 - Jesse Mendez, Ohio State VS Beau Bartlett, Penn State 149 - Ridge Lovett, Nebraska VS Kyle Parco, Arizona State 157 - Peyton Robb, Nerbaska VS Jacori Teemer, Arizona State 165 - Cameron Amine, Michigan VS David Carr, Iowa State 174 - Shane Griffith, Michigan VS Chris Foca, Cornell 184 - Mekhi Lewis, Virginia Tech VS Parker Keckeisen, Northern Iowa 197 - Trent Hidlay, NC State VS Rocky Elam, Missouri 285 - Yonger Bastida, Iowa State VS Zach Elam, Missouri Bonus Match: 184 - Dustin Plott, Oklahoma State VS Bernie Truax, Penn State Trying to be realistic here in that typically a school only sends one or two per...

Looks like it will be in State College this year... https://www.themat.com/news/2023/october/05/2023-nwca-all-star-classic-set-for-november-21-at-penn-state

I am honestly thinking Vito lets Gilman challenge for the spot. When is last chance? Is that after OTT? If so, he might be willing to trust that route.
