I repeat... tough to compare him to Spencer. Spencer hasn't lost to a high school kid since...high school.

Spencer Lee isn't currently losing to high school kids.

I saw one pre-season game grade and he had the second lowest score of anyone on the field.

So, nothing new?

Loo up the high school you attended now...

I'm not aggregating every public high school in the USA. Each public high school is a reflection of the district it is located in. Are you telling me that different districts throughout the country don't have different demographics depending on: region and whether the district is urban or rural? Deerfield Academy, one of the top preps in the world reported these demographics in 2022: White: 50.2% International: 11.6% Asian: 10% African American: 8.5% Multiracial: 7.4% Unknown: 7.4% Hispanic: 7.4% Native American: 4.6% Pacific Islander: 0.3% This is the type of thing I am referring to. Not perfectly in line with US demographics, but much moreso than the suburban Northeastern HS I attended in the 80s. I am not looking at the US as a whole, but the de facto segregation that exists at most public high schools.

That is a lot of losses in half a season for a returning AA who is upgraded to Cael.

Long, Conel, Dean (7th), Hilde, Nagao, Truax all got worse. MM and Kerk had no post-season data at other schools.

Ayala had some difficulty with DeAugustino's leg riding. I would imagine Nagao would also present some problems unless Drake has fixed this issue.

Only his seventh year.

Both the B Team and Danaher (and Ryan and the DDS (or whatever it is now called)) are based out of Austin,TX and have been so for years. Flo is also based out of Austin and has a great presence in the grappling world. Most of the BJJ money is in instructional videos and Austin prob has more high level BJJ practitioners than anywhere in the US... it makes sense for Nolf to move Ocean down there.

And Davis will no longer be the 125 going forward. Was Teske in there somewhere? Teasdale?

Gabe kept wrestling, I believe. Close loss to DT in an NLWC COVID dual and then an attempt at making the 2021 team.

Yeah! How many have been the starting 125 for multiple years?

True!

Interesting. Prep schools tend to be more diverse than most public schools and their populations tend to me more in line with the racial/ethnic makeup of the USA as a whole.

Who is pushing Kennedy out?

Maybe, but Deam was champ his first year and really dropped off his second.

THanks. However, Cass would absolutely lose to Gable, but tore his knee up in a late flurry vs Kerk. Had a subpar NCAA tourney by his standards.

A joking reference about how PSU guys are never injured or sick, because they don't beat their guys up, combined with this Cael quote about core temp https://www.pennlive.com/penn-state-wrestling/2024/02/several-ailing-penn-state-wrestlers-on-the-mend-according-to-cael-sanderson.html?outputType=amp

I didn't watch the video, butI did hear he was moving to Austin? He's prob been doing BJJ exclusively since OTT, and Austin is about the best place on earth to do that.

When Askren came up with his list of best scramblers in the last 10+ years, Nolf was #1.

Can't be illness or burnout at PSU. They have fun and they don't grind their guys down. They never get hurt, and only get sick during the dual meet portion of the year. They have a sophisticated body temp monitoring system to control illness.

Ask Tom Ryan if Kerk is a transfer. Are you saying Nagao continues to get worse under Cael's tutleage?

Or get counts with the original turn, for an additional 1 point. That is why trapped arm became super popular.
