Already replied to this with this...

A lot of people closer to the situation believe the same thing, including Daton Fix (who himself was right in the conversation every year he competed).

Hopefully November at Beaver Stadium.

Also of note: Alirez might be a different wrestler now than he was ~five years ago, but he tried the 149lb route. He wasn't big enough.

I am a big fan of Joey Davis - always was and always will be. That said, his senior year - in which he won at 184lbs, he scraped by in a 4-2 Decision victory over a ~0.500 wrestler from Penn who was also coming up fro 174lbs. Add in that despite him having a good size advantage on Alex Dieringer at the ASC, Dieringer dominated - dare I say destroyed - him. His Junior year he did beat Ottinger (CMU starter, multiple time NQ, Mark Martin (OSU starter, multiple time NQ) and Wilps (Pittsburgh starter who placed 7th that year) at 174lbs, so maybe 184 wasn't the optimal weight for him. So if he isn't going to be a good example of those who could succeed from D2 to D1 then I don't know who would be. There are many examples to pool from. Unfortunately there are going to be more D2/D3 guys who don't find the same success than do, and there are going to be many more guys who don't find success at the D1 level that do at the D2/D3 level. There is a reason D1 is considered the highest level. Edit: Isaiah White is a good example, but I think he is an exception. Particularly because he was supposed to go the D1 route and couldn't academically make it, so his 'pit stop' was to fix those issues.

OOF. Missed that one (somehow). I would think he believes he beats Surber is the reason he is dropping to 197lbs. That being said, I believe Carroll starts at 197lbs when we see Carroll functional at 197lbs. He was the leanest we have ever seen him at 97 KG, which is another ~16lbs more he needs to drop.

I hope he doesn't go the Vasbinder route and go to a mid-level team that has him migrate to a different weight than is optimal for him. Maybe a different weight is optimal, but Vasbinder (Michigan State/McKendree) would have been much better suited had he been 'allowed' to go 197lbs. That being said, Endene's closest match last season was a 6-2 victory over a gent that Glazier Teched via 19-4 in 7:00. Glazier's victory was at the beginning of the year, so there could have been a good amount of improvement from all three between the beginning and ends of the seasons, but that is the closest comparison you could get (right now). I think Glazier found his groove AFTER that match, so there is that, too. So me, I would put him in the fringe R12/R16 area at best right now. How many teams are in need of that currently where they might be willing to shell out even a small back? What teams?

125 - Spratley 133 - Hughes 141 - Jamison 149 - Alirez 157 - Williams/Teague 165 - Fish 174 - Hamiti 184 - Plott (Thompson to redshirt and grow in to 184lbs) 197 - Surber (hopefully healthy, or Haas/Robb) 285 - Pindrickson (Doucet to transfer I think - Merrill is waiting in the wings)

My apologies for my part in assumptions as well. Proverbial hatchet burial?

The entire tone of your responses was different up until this one. If this is truly how you feel, then I am with you. As I said in my responses, I would also root for RWB first. That said, deciding to withhold and, more importantly, advocating for people to not offer potential support to a person who is a dual citizen (in this case it means both Mexico and the United States) is shitty and petty - best case. He is still a citizen of the United States as well as Mexico. Your initial response to me was "Not anymore. Bye Felicia" so the name calling started with you.

You clearly and obviously have no clue as to the origins of the dual nationality laws and their reasoning(s) as to why they were put in to effect. I am sure you're Shawnee or Deleware, though, right? Proper North American? I assume not. You're probably one of those Turdbiscuits that were yelling "CAREER IS OVER" to JB. Furthermore, it is easy to see, search, and find that myself (along with many others such as Scourge) also root and advocate for our US representatives first - then the gents with US ties. Were Lee and RBY to meet in Paris, I am rooting for Lee 10/10 times, regardless of how much of an ignoramus you care to be. I will then root for RBY over everyone else (aside for maybe Cruz, who I will root for both equally). The same for 86 KG. I am rooting for Brooks over everyone, including Amine - despite both of us being alumni of the University of Michigan. I might then root for Amine over Ramos, though - sue me. Hell, after Dhesi and Smith at 125 KG, I will probably root for Abdelmottaleb over the other gents simply because Hemida has been attempting to wrestle for them for the last ~decade. Quit being a bitter xenophobe. This is a suggestion, not a requirement.

Oh you're the speshul kind if stoopid who don't reed or right good. Carry on.

Was this supposed to be epic in some way? Asking for a friend.

Doucet -> Michigan?

Garbage take is a garbage take.

Garbage take is a garbage take as well.

That is a garbage take. This is coming from someone who has wrestled for Team USA.

Honestly I had assumed he would cross-post to Twatter and he did not. I didn't verify on Instergram. I am old. I don't Instergram. Also, it is odd that nobody has posted the actual gofundme here yet.

This would be awesome in a poetic way.

He has a massive Instagram following with no mention there at all.

Oh you maths goods.

He could have regressed all you want, he still isn't as good when they both have taken the mat (when it matters). Sax isn't very big. Not sure why you think he can't make 165lbs. Especially with Carr and O'Toole no longer at the weight, it makes 165lbs make much more sense. This was February.

143lb, 65 KG Larkin? No.

Then a hole at 133lbs. Unless Jordan goes there.

He has owned the series against Sax aside for a single decking.
