Mine is about 20% accurate, to be clear. More wishful thinking. I am still trying to wrap my mind how they work Garvin in without having a Mantanona shrink down.

Michigan 125 - Moore (UNC transfer) 133 - Ragusin 141 - Lemley 149 - McNeil (UNC transfer) 157 - Cattrabone/Gilcher 165 - Older Mantanona 174 - Garvin (Stanford Transfer) 184 - Younger Mantanona 197 - Walters 285 - Ghadiali (Campbell Transfer) I could see them chasing a 197 in the portal, but I have a feeling they let Walters give it a go. Another option at 125 is Spidle (if he cares to drop - which he might). Options at 197, were they not to go the Walters route, would be Stewart (VTech) or Soldano (Rutgers). Curious what they do if the smoke of Garvin coming ends up being true. Supposed to be him at 174. Does that mean Mantanona goes up to 184 or down to 157?

Going up two weights?

Not everyone translates well when they go up in weight. His success was at 61 KG.

To be clear, so do I.

The ultimate 'win' for me is Max (Ben) Askren takes the HC job at Wiscy, the Mirasola's transfer there - as well as a couple other AWA gents. Providing, of course, that Focus heads to Penn State for HWT.

I was asking. I find it hard to believe there are only three matches between them.

Him or Flynn to 133? Who you think?

Not an April Fools thing, but in regards to Joel Adams at Oregon State - he is registered at 74 KG for the Open in MFS U20s @Idaho Edit: Not registered for MGR at all.

Anthony soon to follow.

Taylor had great things to say about Thompson at 184. Edit: I could see him making a jump like Mendez had after going up to a better weight.

Any poke at the Poke's lineup next year, with Facundo, @ionel?

Flynn -> Volk is a lateral jump. They have wrestled before. I suggest you go watch that match before you try exclaiming that Volk is the answer.

Please do?

Unless Cannon goes 149...

It's much more than 3-0, isn't it?

I gained about $55k the first few days after the election, lost about $100k since. That is just one line of my portfolio.

Yeah. He said the same *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me* after SVN decked him "He was destroying him before he made one tiny silly little mistake."

Bailey and Williams stopped by to see Williams' buddy Steed enroute to Iowa.

Same finish, not the same results. You're talking ~40% bonus and some CLOSE matches compared to ~70% while dismantling many AA.

Gents, at the end of the day, he has seeh what they did with Barr, who was nearly a direct equal two years ago.

He might have wrestled 184lbs at two Opens, but his focus was 79 KG (174lbs) in MFS. He wasn't going to descend to 174 for Redahirt matches.

He weighed 196 for Day 2 Weigh-ins at B1Gs when he was allowed 198. What weight he goes will depend on how this Rocco Welsh bit plays out. I want to see him at 184 because I want to see both Mirasola brothers starting. Honestly, skill-for-skill, Ryder and Barr are a wash. Barr has shown a motor where we haven't seen from Ryder, though. Does that go away at 184lbs?

Don't have to convince me of any of those, except Askey. He has Junior eligibility this last season.

Flynn and Volk had a damn tight match at NCAAs in 2024 that was 2-1 until three seconds to go when Flynn made a desparate shot. Flynn wrestled this year and Volk was on the sidelines injured. They are in the same tier. I see it as 5-2 for the 2024-25 squad with three toss-ups. 125 - T/U 133 - T/U 141 - '25 149 - '26 157 - T/U 165 - '25 174 - '25 184 - '26 197 - '25 285 - '25 Reason 157 is a toss-up and 184 is not is due to current stages of career. Later career tends to develop less. I might consider 165 and 174 Toss-Ups as well, but you said yourself that Whiting won the actual matches, and Sparks was damn good this year.
