Gilman after his Senior NCAAs.

If anyone follows HWC and any of their social medias... he has been training with them.

I am curious if Spencer somehow represents France. J/s.

Did you vote? The good team needs 18 more votes.

It'd be a shootout between you and Jacques I am old, man. Old and would be up three Freestyle or four Folkstyle weights from my competitive days.

32 is still more than the other number. Last word.

That would be awesome, although I doubt that Bono would let him go. He has the say-all, end-all authority.

Last. Word.

I just want to compare yard sticks. Most folks here know who I am. It isn't hard to figure out if you try.

I meant at HWT... he just won't aee the lineup as a frosh with Davison there.

When is 'your day' my man?

I have high hopes for a Frosh currently on their roster.

Was hurt. Don't count. Just like Taylor's win over Yazdani don't count because he had a bunch of tape all over his body - indicating he was hurt.

I don't believe you can enter Senior Nationals if you have already won a spot, correct?

I believe if we see Zillmer head back to 97 KG it is a telling sign of Steveson coming back for OTT.

Per this... https://www.themat.com/news/2023/september/15/2024-u-s-olympic-team-trials-qualifiers-as-of-september-15 Almost every weight could be boxed out if all parties show up. This doesn't include international gents showing up.

Ultimus sermo.

Of note, I don't believe there are any restrictions to entry. Meaning at HWT we could see Parris, Gwiazdowski, Zillmer, and Steveson enter and all place top 4, essentially stealing a spot. I don't think they will. I hope we see Parris, though. Maybe a Gwiazdowski as well.

Rumor has it that new stud incomming frosh for Michigan, Mogan Lassa will compete for the 197lb spot for Michigan. Looks eerily familiar to Logan Massa, just with a bit of a gut.

If you segregate the 125lb weight class from the others, he is. After all... Nicky Skeletor is still in the basement rolling around.

I agree with this. I still don't see him as a lock, though. Has he been approved for the medical redshirt already? I didn't think they could until eligibility was used up?

My Gilcher homer-isms are based on two things, for what it is worth... He has never really cut weight. He won his most recent state title at 150, but wrestled down and up throughout the season. He will have a set weight at UofM and won't be asked to fluctuate too much. He has the pedigree to succeed. His brother... with what most would consider is lesser coachigng... is coming through for Indiana right about now (I am actually hoping he joins him next season at UofM as a Grad Transfer at 165 with Amine going up his senior season to 174... honestly either at 174 would make me happy I think).

He isn't a lock.

He is listed as 141 on their 'official' roster page and not 133. My hope was Horwath at 125 and Lemley at 133, but it doesn't look like it at this point. I don't know if he is growing, or they are just planning for him to be 141(ish) going forward. Some guys do grow and Michigan has shown that (Drew Mattin went from 125 to 141 in one season for them and Zach went from 126 his senior year of HS to 165 his second season in the room for them... those are just recent examples). This said... if Mayora isn't putting out high results and Ragusin is at 141, I expecte Jerore, Lemley, Gilcher, and possibly even Mantanona to be given a fair shake to start. Kids are more ready now than they ever were coming out of high school. Also, if you had a chance to wrestle for UofM... which is arguably the 2nd best RTC in the country right now... or Indiana, even with familial ties... where do you go?

Feel free to throw in thoughts, questions, concerns, etc.
