Dare I say that is solid 3rd Tier. Maybe bottom of 3rd tier, but solid, nonetheless. I don't see my Spartans really contending with that lineup.

Pretty excited to see what the trio of Heethus (Princeton), Davis (Penn State), and Horwath (Michigan) do. They kind of fly under the radar when it comes to lighter weights, but I believe all three can be a factor at the weight as soon as this season (hopefully no injuries happen to the gents in front of them to be clear).

Honestly I thought his replacement opponent was better. I thought Bo was going to win fairly easily in both scenarios. He needs a T15 opponent in his next fight. Give him someone like Brunson.

Ever since the Olympics decreased the number of weight classes down to six for freestyle, I have pointed out the insanity of having Olympic weights that coincide with weights that are wrestled the other 3 years. It is awful for the sport as it makes the World Championships in non-Olympic years an also ran in too many weight classes and screws up the division of talent weakening the product as a whole. If your were to put the Olympic weights between the weight classes that exist 3/4 of the time, the distribution of talent in non-Olympic years would be far more equitable. It would also be fairer to the competitors as every one of them would have to move up or down to make the Olympic weights unlike currently where some are forced to gain or lose 12-15 lbs in order to vie for the spot. Lastly, it would be far more representative of the bell curve of human males. The 10 weight classes in non-Olympic years far better represent that curve. Thinking it is good business to keep certain weights intact while delegitimizing 40% of your product line 75% of the time is just plain dumb.

As we know... he did beat our 70 KG Worlds Silver medalist this last cycle in his first tournament up from 61 KG. I imagine he has settled in to the weight a bit better now. ...

I think he just techfalled Dest a couple/few months ago? I might be wrong.

Kid would be a 197lber...

You are pretty late to the party. I answered the question myself. In any case, they are my tiers. Make your own if you believe you can do better. I am doubling down.

Make a new post.

I like this feisty version of Wkn. Makes me feel more at home.

I damn near didn't read all of that...

I watched that match in-person. The ref's beat Facundo. Amine was just there for it.

This was pre-weaponized Gilman.

Vito has already said that he is coming back. He self-admitted that he has been in college too long and that the whole proposition of him delaying his final year of eligibility another full season is silly. It's been in 3 or 4 different interviews that he has said almost word for word the same thing.

Asking around and it looks like Webster was in the room during the season this last year and rolled Davenport up quite easily while also giving up a good 15-20lbs. Davenport has HEW. I still would love to see him at UofM trying to get that spark back. In the state of Michigan he was the toughest out for Facundo.

I take Carr over O'Toole in a street fight and that is just another 165lber. Carr is faster, stronger, and looks quite a bit more mean.

You see some of his videos where he has gloves on and throwing hands? He has no speed to them. I would not take him in a street fight P4P. I might even go with goofy Gilman over him just off tenacity.

Nelson Brands. Guy has claws that would make Huge Ackman proud.

Actually the answer to that question was yes, btw. Plott lost to a couple gents early in the season. I think I mentally ignored it due to knowing that he was banged up a bit? Still... they're my tiers. You should do your own @hawkguy. I have explained my method of tiers a few times, not that you should know. Basically a guy can beat a guy up or down a tier from him without it being a surprise. They shouldn't jump more than a tier unless there is injury or some other extraordinary circumstance(s) involved.

Is Plott losing to guys like O'Reilly, Ruth, and Jordan?

Honestly? Let Carr man 165 for em next year. I am good with that.

He doesn't have to build much.

Kevon Davenport in the portal (again). Curious the case for entering as well as... whatever other information there is on that. I honestly hope he can head to Michigan to wrestle with some of his old teammates. They need a 149lber and I don't know if Mayora or Davenport is better... or if Davenport can even wrestle this next season without some sort of waiver? Not sure.

I mean... the plan is still to be him after another year of development behind Pentz. Not sure what to tell you there.

I direct you to Harley Andrews: 22W - 2L as a redshirt last season. Their presumptive starter after Pentz is gone.
