I'm not sure if this is going to be the issue that I thought it would be for Michigan..

I though he maybe altered the shirt?

Even if wrestled in 2020, I feel he has a tough time winning. If I remember correctly, he tore an ACL in B10 final and was struggling in practice. I could easily be thinking about a different year though.

Which redshirt? Didn't he have 2 or 3?

Look at the last 24 hours of posting...less than one page.

Pretty good chance that most guys who are 4x B10 seeds and 3x #1 seeds are favored to win the tourney. He appears to be the only 4x B10 champ to not win NCAAs. Is he the only 3x #1 to not win? @Jason Bryant ?

Well, you did say "the years he could have been an NCAA champ." I would assume one of the years he won B10, but prob his best shot was 2019. He had a bad draw (or it looked that way at the time) in 2019: 1st round: the funky returning AA Joe Smith, who happened to not really be at his peak (but on paper, not a great first round for the #1) 2nd round: Bullard from NC State. Ok, not exactly prime David Taylor level of greatness... Quarters: prob the best version of Mekhi, fresh off his U20 world title. Marinelli loses 3-1 in a match where he definitely had his chances. Semis: He would have had the Wick/Marstellar winner, who ended up being Wick. Prime Mekhi beats Cenzo Joseph 7-1 in final. I'm not saying Marinelli should have won that. Mekhi is the reason he didn't, not the draw. But that was not a great spot in the bracket. Starocci had a tougher one (on paper) last spring, but also may have ended up wrestling a couple guys (Mekhi, Griffith) who were past their prime and also played to Carter's strengths. The difference is that Carter won. He's just better all the way around.

I don't think Jax will be at Lehigh; and if Bo goes to PSU, I don't think he will be turning the program around!

He was a 4x Big 10 champ, right. That is pretty impressive. Most of those guys prob win at least one title. Kind of surprising he didn't get at least one, tbh. I just looked it up, and honestly not sure if it is 100% accurate, but I believe there are 16 4x B10 champs and he is the only one not to win NCAA.

Is heavyweight a Michigan Wolverines wrestle-off? What happens to the loser? Find another school?

Yes. I heard of him almost 24 hours ago. The answer was: Medved was too long ago, but Cael and Saitiev weren't too long ago... despite them both being over 20 years ago.

You're being so obtuse it isn't even acute anymore!

HAHA a bit hurt, are we. Show me where I said Sidakov "started" or "invented" it. I said he was "pretty good" at it. And you won't stand behind your own posts, despite me giving you a way out.

I literally quoted you. Who is being dishonest? Just admit you are wrong or perhaps typed something you didn't actually mean. I think I'm done here.

You gave PSU a bit too much credit as usual. The "outside step" did not "start" there, which is what you said. That is all. Have the guts to stick by your own words, sir. And yes, they are good at it, but so is Sidakov.

Factually incorrect

You said they started it, no? That sounds a lot like they invented it, no? But I never used "invented", I used your term: started. ... and actually... about 25 minutes ago, you literally claimed you never said they "started it"

that's not what I said. I said a loose genre of attacks "seem to start there a trickle down". Meaning they'll likely be more familiar with Keck's tactics than say, Dustin Plott, who never seemed to know what keck was gonna do next. This is what was said.

It has been over 20 years since Saitiev won, in that case.

If we are sticking to freestyle, why isn't it Medved?

Jordan is a bit extra-physical with the handfight between the whistles. Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of some of JBs tactics (at least not domestically), but it is done between the whistles. MM, whom I really like, was doing it OOB and after the whistle. A bit cheaper. Then you have Rutherford whom has poked more people in the eye than all three stooges.

Well you said it 'started there.'

How many videos and articles need to be posted? "I mean... I'll go heavyweight... it really don't matter." (about the 4:50 mark of the video posted above.) Apparently it does matter?

I don't know? Sidakov looked pretty good with that outside step... I would even say Kemmerer hit it on Mark Hall to ice the match. Hall had great defense and seemed to be dumbfounded briefly, as if he hadn't seen it a lot. Guaranteed, he was also being Carvered for the second time in his career, so that may have affected his defense. A rare second Carvering...

Although, I think MM did get cradled at least once last year, maybe even in a match that he won by tech?
