Going in to this, if I know PK is going I am favoring him, but not to the point where I am sayimg that Gaitan needs to avoid bonus. I would thinknit closer than that. PK looks great here, though.

For a guy who wrestled 182 in high school PK looks small.

Brain called it. PK against Gaitan.

I don't understand how Caliendo got called for stalling there at all. Edit: Referring his first two of the match.

Salazar beat him like 12-0 last year right?

FYI - ESPN app is showing this on the schedule for both EPSN+ and ESPN...

Palmer not being ranked because he last wrestled unattached is fine by me. He will be when he is officially attached.

Also rape. Focus raped a woman.

Can confirm. We talk(ed).

You understand it was three points for a five second count, correct? It was changed to four points for a four second count. You are looking at it in a singular dimension, points, when the scoring involves two dimensions in points and time. Meaning before with a four swipe you would get two points, now it is four. You can't maths and it is annoying that you are stupid. I legitimately laid the math out for you, so it isn't ignorance. Happy Thanksgiving.

Oooh. Wanker. Another Brit word. I hope nobody gets upset with you. You are accurate, though...

If they were to take away the Tech they would need to implement some sort of stalling protocol so the top guy doesn't just hold someone or use the same cheap tilt 46 times in a match. Too complicated. I agree with OP: 10 & 15 make a lot of sense.

Huh? 5/3=1.667 4/4=1.000 66.7% more... you are going to be a dick about not saying 66.666666666666667%? Stfu

W/L ratio, or are you intentionally ignoring convenient facts? He averaged 23 wins per 1 loss in 2022. He averaged 5.3 wins per 1 loss in 2018. He did better. Sorry not sorry. Also, Bono is a turdbiscuit.

I want to say that even if the gents placed a couple/few spots lower and it would be considered a successful weekend.

There are a few of you gents that I treasure. No homo, just bromo.

In 2018 he lost to McFadden (5th, 3x AA, 4x NQ) at NCAAs. His other losses were Massa (Major), McFadden (Pin), White (Dec), Martinez (Dec), Lewis (2x via Dec). In 2022 his only loss was to the defending champion in Griffith, who then lost to an undefeated O'Toole. He did better.

I want to be present. The moment they decide to disrespect Wkn will be their last. He is a treasure and he is ours.

Yes he did.

His twin had to retire because he couldn't get his body healthy.

He might not have a place at all with RR in town.

I think Hoffman does well here. The further from weigh-ins we get the better. I only see PK as a clear favorite on him as of now.

125 - This is the only weight I don't see a Buckeye potentially wrestling for a medal (sorry). McCrone can beat a lot of the guys in the field, but he would have to beat a lot of guys that are just a little better than him. 133 - Bouzakis could ball out here. He needs a good showing here for confidence, I think. I still think he is well capable of hanging with the top two or three here. I wouldn't pick him over Vito or Fix, though. Not sure we see Cannon here. 141 - This tournament last year was when Hardy turned it on. 8 seed a dominated everybody. Mendez holds a clear advantage on the feet, so if he can avoid the mat he might be okay here. 149 - This weight is so damn deep. I know Lovett is the odds on favorite to win it all this year but I don't know if he makes it through this gauntlet unbeaten. 157 - I don't think we see Teemer here. I also think Paddy could place very highly here. While he is back to focusing on weight management, it is evident he put in some time this offseason. Do I think he beats Robb or Shapiro? No. Do I think he could get a win or two against guys higher ranked than him? Yes. 165 - How much does Hepner's H2H over Amine hold weight here? If folks are smart, they will avoid taking down. I think we end up seeing Carr against Amine in the finals. 174 - Lewis got beat up by Sta(l)rocci. I don't think we see him here. That waters it down quite a bit, but I do like Kharchla to make the finals opposite Griffith. This should be a good tournament for them to get a feel for 174lbs properly, without seeing any of the higher tier gents (aside for themselves) 184 - I want to see more of Hoffman at 184, but my gut is telling me he is right on that level with PK, Foca, Munoz, etc. Depending on seeding he could make a decent, deep run. I am very interested in a Plott match. Both coming in to 184 after being sumstantially different sized rather recently (197lbs for Hoffman VS 79 KG for Plott). I think Foca slides right in and shows that he is here to compete. 197 - Oh lordy-lord... we just saw Brooks beat down Sloan. Will Hidlay manhandle him the same way he manhandled Beard?Cardenas is a sleeper to knock Hidlay off, though. A lot of familiarity there with having seen each other on National Teams. Geog could be in the neighborhood of 7-9 seed there, so he could see one of them early. 285 - Feldman will have a good chance to prove himself against a few gents higher ranked here. I don't think we see Schultzy or Hendrickson there, though. That leaves a slew of other guys to test himself on. Predictions: 125 - McCrone, DNP 133 - Bouzakis, 4th 141 - Mendez, 1st 149 - D'Emilio, 4th 157 - Gallagher, 5th 165 - Hepner, 4th 174 - Kharchla, 2nd 184 - Hoffman, 2nd/3rd (I have him losing to PK, not sure on seeding here) 197 - Geog, 6th 285 - Feldman, 3rd
