It is an interesting question to me. I know they want to give a guy a chance to compete, but everyone has had the Final X date for a while. Sometimes you get injured, and it is at the wrong time. I know you want to send the best team but the process is already shifted to favor past medalists. I am not sure how I feel about it.

He kind of did. It was the shortest Par Terre in the history of freestyle.

It is interesting that he is so good at wrestling but doesn't seem to really love it. He could be one of the top guys in the world for a while. Just an interesting character.

Actually you sign up for Flow and then complain that the stream doesn't work.

GAH?

"I thought I was Captain America"

I really think in today's environment it is really a nonstory. You can't sit and wait for Angelo Ferrari to say I would rather wrestle for David Taylor. You potentially have to be ready to lose any/all on the team. Always have to be looking to get better. That is the environment that the free movement people didn't fully anticipate.

I have said this in the past but being around a Power 5 Football program for many years I will say that if Ferentz really had plans for Kueter I don't believe they would have let him take a year off. I am not doubting his desire to do both but you really need to be fully dedicated to one or the other to have success.

I really thought Buchanan was the only guy that really looked to have a real horsepower edge on Barr. Granted he didn't wrestle everybody but I am not sure 2025 Barr could beat 2025 Buchanan if they wrestle 10 more times. Hard to say how he would do against Ferrari.

I think he has elite defense. Having something elite makes you a tough out wherever you are. He likely could get to a good 230lbs pretty easy. He would be in the title discussion

I remember the folks back in 1950 complaining about OSU.

we get so excited about the next freshman phenom that it really skews views of wrestlers. Look at Shapiro. Was projected as an All-Timer coming into NCAA Wrestling, now he has a 3rd and 5th place finish. Will he ever win a title? I think the Starocci v Keckeisen was the most anticipated by the majority. Many thought (hoped) there was no way that Starocci get beat him but he did and wasn't really close to being taken down. People don't like Starocci but I really do believe he is an All Time great. He isn't known as a scorer but finished with a 59% bonus rate. I wanted to see the 285 final that we got. I think Kerkvliet was beaten by Steveson before they start. It was nice to see someone match the athleticism

He is a world class freestyle wrestler not a ham and egger. I wouldn't worry about his folk skill set not being up to par
