I think the consensus is that she is just better. Last time when Welker won, Kennedy had tuned her up pretty good a few weeks before, but Kennedy was fresh off being knocked out in the semifinals or something? She got rocked hella hard against Welker too.
Yeah. Unfortunately for Shilson she has a history of concussions. The jury is out that Mortimer did it intentionally or not. @Mike Parrish, might know better?
Mortimer is still wrestling U20s as well last I looked.
What are you on about?
Expansion has very little to do with sports or how good their 'teams' are.
It is all about money and marketability.
The reason the ACC is a more stable conference is because of how their membership contracts are written. The ACC has made it so ridiculously expensive and complicated to leave ever since Maryland got scooped up.
The B12 is losing their two most valuable assets very soon. That doesn't scream stability does it?
He get's nailed twice while running that ankle (stall)ride and his entire game is going to change. Tha rule that makes that ankle stall(ride) irrelevant will be as difficult for Starocci to adjust to as the danger rule was for Heil.
Starocci is the biggest staller for as dominant as he is, it's ridiculous.
Just like Heil, when they changed the danger zone rules, if they change the top stalling rules this offseason he will take some losses next year.
One of two things will happen.
Either the B1G will establish themselves as a National conference and extend their reach into the Southeast as well as the Northwest or the SEC will.
Unfortunately for every other conference it isn't going to really matter what they do. The Power 5 is the Power 2 now and the other three are the Slightly More Power conferences.
Honestly the ACC might be a clear step ahead of the B12 and the P12 in that regard.
The MAC is basically safe. I don't see any of them leaving for the C-USA. They may not try adding anyone either.
The Sun Belt has quietly and quickly become the strongest non-Power 5 conference and it is actually perplexing to me.
I think Facundo beats Mesenbrink. That doesn't mean Facundo wins the spot, though. He wrestles very close matches. He loses matches against worse wrestlers.
Pretty soon people are going to have to respect that Michigan is going to be in the conversation for every transfer as well.
They have Cliff Keen money and in wrestling they are everywhere.
Anyone care to take a stab as to how some of these weights will be seeded for Senior Men's Freestyle?
What is the seeding criteria here?
Keep in mind seeding doesn't take into account Folkstyle results and they typically have put a two year time threshold for results. That would lend one to believe that Spencer Lee may be drawn in and not seeded.
