Appreciate it, Boo.

Lamer at 184 as well?

This is all poppycock. Why would he be drinking? He's 12 years old, FFS!

Coule Daschle make 165? He did not look big at 184 - plus All Red, and Minto is going 174.

Nah, I see it.

I suppose methods are similar, just you're comparing a Worlds medalist and multi-time NC with a 2x 5th placer that retired due to injuries (and not placing his last two/three years of eligibility).

Zahid Valencia has Kaid Brock energy? Please educate us as to how.

What do you mean?

He won't be seeded, but there is a non-zero chance of seeing Nolf in at 79 KG as well. @Husker_Du and @Baschamania are going to cover whatever expenses he has.

There is also a nonzero chance we see Nolf this weekend, btw, at 79 KG.

To be fair, I do think that version of Cox beats this version of Zahid, but the reasoning(s) are due to matchup. I think Cox was just too defensively sound and explosive that Zahid wouldn't have been able to get his offense going. This Zahid likely beats all the same people that version of Cox did. This version of Dake verse this version of Zahid is probably close to a 50/50 toss-up, honestly. They should both be considered the favorite(s) and honestly I am looking forward to seeing how PK does against Dake, being as just a few weeks ago PK was a VERY large 184lber and last summer Dake was a 74 KG (163lber). That version of Cox against the version of Dake was probably also close to a 50/50, but they're both very defensive wrestlers. That means the bigger, stronger, and more explosive one is going to win more often than not, and he did (2 of 3)

He is physically larger than 2016, when he last went 86 KG and Cox was better then than Valencia is now (debatable, I know - but styles make Cox a tougher out then ford Dake than Valencia now). It would take some deep diving, but I vaguely remember him saying he could have made 79 KG day of the Best of 3 with Cox with clothes on and no cut. I expect him closer to 86 KG than 79 KG this week.

I think we see him at WTT, just unsure of the weight. I expect an announcement of his intentions soon. With Slay stepping down from PRTC, there is a lot up in the air right now.

Virgin.

Thought I saw somewhere that Picklo was on the way out/unhappy?

Being in Mizzou is an announcement. There has been speculation on him heading wherever PK heads or back to Wiscy. Him staying put is absolutely an announcement I think).

I think it's going to be an RTC announcement with him laying out his expectations for the next cycle (or two) as far as weights as well as coaching aspirations. I think he heads up to Wiscy, UNIC (if PK intends to stay, which I am sure KOT knows better than any of us), or OSU with Roper (if PK intends to follow... same reasoning as the last bit).

He had Elam to Michigan?

I am with Dr. @MPhillips. I don't think we see Kharchla back.

Both moving up two (2) weights. Dake: 74 KG -> 7̶9̶ ̶K̶G̶ -> 86 KG Brooks: 86 KG -> 9̶2̶ ̶K̶G̶ -> 97 KG

I think it is more likely we see Paddy at 174 than 157 again.

Terry Coaching: - Iowa assistant until 2000 - Nebraska assistant 2000-2001 - Year off 2001-2002 - Chattanooga HC 2002-2005 - USA Wrestling Resident Coach 2005-2008 - Iowa AHC 2008-present Tom coaching: - Iowa assistant until 2004 - VTech HC 2004-2006 - Iowa HC 2006-present There was ~8/9 years there (sometime in 2000 until late 2008) where nobody was recruited by TnT.

He has at least one year, potentially two.

Presumably the lineup was going to be... 133 - Davino 141 - Mendez/Bouzakis 149 - Bouzakis/Mendez Now it is... 133 - Davino/Bouzakis 141 - Mendez 149 - Stiles Although I have read in multiple places that Stiles at 149 was a 1 year thing... Makes me think we might see this: 149 - Cannon 157 - Stiles 165 - Chittum

They're very close, in regards to Wrestlestat's ratings (within 50), which is a ratings system based off of every collegiate result. Add in room familiarity and it is definitely going to be razor close.
