You assume it had nothing to do with timing, which is actually wild if you think about it. Here are the things we do know: - Cael had long understood that a National Duals of any time would need to happen before the 1st of the year - Cael has long put a priority on MFS Worlds U20, U23, and Seniors over early season events. - Cael has long put a priority on NCAAs over B1Gs. - Cael is big on HEW prevention, which would mean resr after each of some sort. Timing lines up to be that many of his heavy hitters would be missing National Duals. It is a legitimate claim, not an excuse.

He is small (88.5 KG, 195lbs) w/ zero cutting. Being smaller in Folkstyle would hurt him more than MFS.

I am kicking myself in the nuts there.

He wouldn't be sniffing Tier 3, all respects due. I probably have him Tier 6 right now. Tier 1 - Haines Tier 2 - Empty Tier 3 - Pinto, Kharchla, Steed, Ruiz, PK Tier 4 - Norman, Singleton, Mantanona Tier 5 - Thompson, Wask, Gaitan, Augustine *Disclaimer: Not really researched, just going off top of the head for now

They're bean polls, man! Watch Brock's match with Henckel at U20s. He was clearly gassed from wrestling the whole day by match 2, but even in Match 1 or the US Open, he is clearly smaller. That is at 174lbs as-is.

Sinclair is neck & neck with the highest returning placer in McEnelly. We have Ryder and Welsh in the mix. Those four are nutso, and that isn't even considering that there are other studs at 184lbs that might play a factor.

Can you post that, or send it to me?

Heard eight of the officers are suing Snyder's ole baby arm for emotional damages. Not Snyder himself... the pork sausage explicitly. They use great detail in the definition and explanation of the 'defendant.'

Berger? No, he's a Cuntberger. I still can't believe how much of a turdbiscuit that guy is. I might be 57(ish) years... I'd still slap the white off of him, were I to see him. Why purposefully and maliciously try to permanently damage someone's face? That is weak.

I agree. That said, I am also wondering if there are other plans for Michigan where the Mantanona brother send up going 174/184 rather than 165/174... I have heard absolutely not, but I still wonder.

Y’all are hilarious trying to pinpoint what’s “wrong” with Minnow. He started this whole shtick in an old Facebook group called MMA Topics. Some guy used to call him "Minnow" just to get under his skin, and he’d completely lose it - so, naturally, the name stuck. Eventually, he got booted from that group because all he did was $hitpost, argue, and namecall. But he realized something: $hitposting got attention. And while most people saw him as just another combat sports troll, his real passion was always wrestling - actual wrestling. Like him or not, agree or disagree, find him annoying or entertaining - doesn’t matter. He’s got thousands of followers who eat up everything he posts, mostly because the ten before them did. That’s how this pyramid scheme of his works. It’s honestly kind of cool to see how far he’s come in 20 years. He went from being a relentless Facebook troll who never admitted when he was wrong, to someone who's now breaking more stories than every website and journalist there is (not named Jawn Cena). Sure, he still gets things wrong - he posts constantly, so the odds are what they are. But unlike traditional media, he’s not tied down by anything. That freedom lets him be fast, messy, and often right before anyone else catches up. I’ve been as critical as anyone (hell, I brought the "Minnow" nickname over here to these streets). But I can’t deny the growth. Nobody can. The engagement is real. He used to delete every other post; now he sets the pace in certain corners of the scene. So yeah, there’s nothing really wrong with Minnow. He’s just a dude - bro who figured out how to troll the internet in a way that built a legit following. People liked it - still like it - and he's run with it. Ick. I need a shower now.

With McNeil coming in at 149, I think Gilcher will be heading up to 157lbs. He (Gilcher) has been wrestling 74 KG on the MFS circuit this season, as well, FWIW.

We have a whole thread on this one, don't we?

I am damn happy to see it, either way! A quality program for a top-notch guy.

The alleged sexual misconduct following Focus isn't unheard of. A stain is a stain. Steveson had issues with the fanbase of WWE because of his alleged misconduct. It wasn't his sole reason for failing down that avenue, but it was a hurdle he could not get over.

I mean, guys... Minnow having twatter beef isn't unexpected. That said, he is far more mellow and reliable year over year. That is really undeniable.

I think that was tongue-in-cheek, yeah? Meaning she doesn't believe he actually does.

Wow.

I would be all for this. ASU has a need at 174 and 197. Cael Valencia has a year left, although I don't know if he takes it, and he has been wrestling 79 KG (174lbs), so maybe he fills that spot next year for them. That said, I would be for Valencia focusing on MFS (Team Mexico at 86 KG?) or some other route to finish his final year than staying at ASU.

No. It's two weeks prior to the Worlds acclimation camp. We've seen our teams head over a few days in advance or a couple weeks in advance (and everything in between). A lot depends on location, which is Croatia this year. I can't imagine more than a week, as our USAW has planned around Croatia many times the last cycle or two - unless they head to Poland or Germany, etc. for a team camp prior to Croatia? Not sure, really. I would assume that we'll know mid-August at the latest.

Happy I finished reading before I was like "LETS WAIT UNTIL FINAL X TO SAY HE IS UNDEFEATED!!" Are we at the point where Dake is now winning fantasy matches? Wasn't he 0-455, or some ridiculous number like that, in fantasy matches at some point?

I am secretly hoping for Focus to transfer there, or Stewart to transfer there and go 197lbs, then they need Jordan Decatur, Isaiah Powe, Chris Cannon, or Jesse Vasquez at 141 as well as Soldano or Parker dropping to 174lbs and that lineup is SALTY.

157 - Chittum 165 - Paddy 174 - Cannon 184 - Kharchla 197 - Fishback ?

Huh? Edit: Nvm. You're also including the gents who 'might' claim their U23 spot from Senior MFS.
