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.

Flynn has another year, yeah?

I avoid clicking on profiles. Don't need folks thinking I'm a creepy old man.

He's new in general isn't he?

Butchered a Bull, three lambs, and 47 chickens for this weekend's festivities. Got the pickets all drawn up. I'm ready.

You seem upset, bud. This is the premier BBS on the interwebs. That means we have all sorts of deplorables and elite-folks, as well as everything in-between. As you said, until it is official, there really isn't anything to be firm about. That said, we are all going to be excited because we are simple, excitable folk who happen to be superfans as well. Strap on your seatbelt, don't take anything personal (ever), and enjoy the ride. Welcome to the funzone.

You upset about getting Welsh, or something?

Long answer: With respect, you have a better chance at shutting the eff up than you do to expect us to not rage on internet forums. Short answer: STFU

Wasn't he rumored to Iowa last offseason?

If Ryan gets canned before Bono, I will riot. The entire state of Wisconsin is putting out the best in-state talent EVER and he is the reason why they won't go there.

Folks like to dog on Dr. @MPhillips for being a gent who roots for the team in Cbus ( <- Emphasis on BUS).

Wrench: Both Haines and Ryder head out in the portal.

Penn State 125 - Lilledahl 133 - Ono 141 - Blaze 149 - VanNess 157 - Kasak 165 - Monster Mitch 174 - Welsh 184 - Barr 197 - Mirasola 285 - Mirasola One of Davis, Nagao, Haines, and Ryder transfer out. Davis -> OSU at 133, teams up with former HS teammate Swiderskk Nagao -> Minny at 133, goes home Facundo -> Michigan at 174lbs, goes 2-0 against Haines Haines -> OSU at 174, back with his mentor and the guy who coached the last champ at 174lbs Ryder -> tOSU at 174, beats Welsh 3x during the season

Kerk and Starocci.

^^ Askren has talked about this many times on FRL.

So, funny story: I was still using Brave Beta. Now it's fine.

His HASHTAGS say "JUSTKIDDING" or something like that.

My desktop is, my mobile is not.

Brave quit working...

He used to bet to pay for his addictions to steriods. Never paid up.
