Interviewed_at_Weehawken

Like most of your "facts": LOL Whatever.

More disinformation. Jan 20th.

What about Cher?

Yes, I can see that happening. I will say the relative youth and inexperience of the two coaches is a concern.

Ayala has one year after this one, or did he come in during Covid?

Club program, correct?

Will they be going somewhere as a family? Iowa has a decent women's program.

And he ended his career defeating a great Iranian. Amazing.

That is great! Awesome fans. I do remember DT having some fun playfully taunting them in the past; and of course all of their comments on his social media.

Thank you. Guy just won't give up and keeps moving goalposts! Likely an angry lightweight sticking up for his piers.

This was my conversation and that was NOT at all what it was. Please stop twisting things. It is you who are moving goalposts. Spencer was never mentioned. It wasn't about who would make the team in 2028. It was (Original Statement:) "Vito isn't that young! He is 25. Does he have another entire cycle of him being the US rep left in him? " That was the statement. "ENTIRE cycle." It didn't say 2028 Olympics. It doesn't mention Lee. I was looking at Vito's weight and injury issues, as well as declining performance throughout NCAA and Worlds. He has a bad neck for crying out loud!

Similar to PSU the past couple of years?

- Keep in mind that Trepham and Catka may both be JVs this year - Rathjen is probably not even a factor in the Iowa room at 157, let alone nationally... likely another JV - Covid years, readily available medical redshirts, poaching of rosters, easy transfers, etc. have made a mess of things and guys who were serviceable starters are sent to the bench in 2024-2025.

No, not French. If it were, he would have spelled it "geaux."

You mean the same Mineo that defended Ferrari on Saturday, said that Stemmet was classless and trashed anyone who would 'hate on a kid,' before he trashed Nelson Brands the very next day?

He is already enrolled in school in Japan.

Women are irrelevant in this discussion because of hormonal/cultural differences. They are fundamentally different from men for a variety of reasons. They are ready to compete at the world level at younger ages, and they may retire sooner for reproductive/cultural issues. Apples and oranges. MMA (and boxing) have been brought up because guys tend to stay around longer in the upper weights. Amazing how it seems to be the same throughout combat sports.

I think its just going to be grappling from what he has said recently

But I think you've kind of moved the goalposts to dominance over an extended period/multiple quads. What does women's freestyle have to do with the price of tea anywhere? I moved the goalposts? I said Vito was not "young" and questioned his ability to be our guy for the entire 2028 quad. That was literally the original discussion. Also, how many of your "dominant lightweights" had to make weight the day of competition? And how OLD is Demtrious Johnson?

I did, and will continue to do so.

Oh, I COMPLETELY get that. But we have multiple posters wondering in DT is recruiting him, if he's going to try NCAA, or even enroll at Cornell or PSU. The NCAA thing just isn't going to happen.

Hopefully we can keep Lisa out of this thread!

Ummm lets count the reasons why not: Already a student in Japan. Significant language difficulties. Significant cultural differences. Wrestling folkstyle? C'mon man! Are you sure he's still a fan of Vito?

Why would he want to go to a country with what many are calling an 'inferior freestyle program' and wrestle US folkstyle? I can see a trip or two and some extended stays, but I doubt he enrolls at a US college.

$10,001 I think? Or as the other poster said $10,001 US! More than he ever made at a wrestling tournament. The nerve of him to get out of the sport!
