I'm having trouble not believing that, all things being equal, Zahid is a better wrestler than Brooks.

could ASU be an option for Massoma Endene, they need a 197 bad

Yeah… Larkin may have been entirely responsible for Parco’s untimely exit.

did you see his match against Yianni this morning? This dude may end up being a 4 timer dude he's truly great.

Think Teemer will go 165 and Ruiz 174 and Valencia 184. 

Valenica at 184 is still a hole at 184

Well. That sucks. ASU was set up to have a fantastic shot at a team trophy next year too.

maybe this means that Kaleb Larkin is a confirmed stud.

125	85	Zachary Espalin	Junior	GIlbert, AZ	Navy

possibly a dumb question but how do you transfer from a service academy? Aren't they locked into some type of commitment? I know they are post graduation but I think there is after enrollment as well? anyone know the details?

Does anyone have a list of transfers who went on to win an NCAA title?

Off the top of my head I can think of TJ Jaworsky, Seth Gross, Bubba Jenkins, Greg Kerkvliet, Max Dean, Nick Suriano.

Who am I forgetting?

Jason Tsirtsis

2021 St. Louis- I'm done with St. Louis, it was nice the first couple times, but the place has gone downhill over the past 15 years.

are you talking about crime/homeless people/etc?

Are you sure you heard that right? Just before Pac-12s Figs mentioned getting through rehab or something similar, but he was talking specifically about injuries.

I may very well be mistaken

At least Tanner Hall's grandchildren got to see him wrestle in college. 

one of my all time best message board posts was a few years ago, "Tanner Hall trains cardio by playing with his grandkids."

I’d like to see

125. Figs

133. Yas

141. Vasquez

149. Parco

157. Larkin

165. Teemer

174. Ruiz

184. Valencia

197. Cardenas

Hwt. Schultz

woukdnt be upset to see Valencia lose his spot to a transfer either. 

are Parco and Teemer confirmed returning?

197. Cardenas

why is everyone assuming Cardenas is going to ASU? has there been any talk of this or just wishful thinking? I haven't heard anything but then again I'm not in the loop. As an ASU fan I'd love it. 

it sounds like in addition to injuries Figs was dealing with what we might call "off the mat" issues earlier this year. In one of his interviews during the tourney or maybe after winning he mentioned "going to rehab," not rehabbing an injury but "going to" rehab. I know from personal experience this usually means something very specific. Anyway, he's a tremendous talent and I have no idea why he didn't get at least some passing OW love (not saying he should've won it). Rooting hard for this kid!

Of course. Penn State transfer. He was vertically challenged.

he was a high school teammate! Centennial High School, suburban Baltimore. What memories!

nobody asked but my all time fave Nittany Lion BY FAR is Shinshiro Abe....now that guy was fun to watch!!

My best guess for Penn, with no inside info. A lot of stability, and hopefully one or two break through/repeat as AAs.

125 - Gallagher
133 - Ryan Miller (lose Colaiocco)
141 - Composto
149/157 - Swisher/Wasilewski (lose Revano)
165 - Sement
174 - Incontrera
184 - Hale
197 - Cosgrove (lose Urbas)
HWT - Delsanter (lose John Stout)

unrelated to this directly but speaking of Penn, do you remember Jason Nagle? 2xEIWA champ from like 2001/2? was just remembering him for some reason then a Penn fan popped up here.

Arizona State (My ideal world)

125: Figueroa

133: Chlebove

141: Parco

149: Kaleb Larkin

157: Teemer

165: Ruiz

174: McLane

184: Valencia 

197: Cardenas (Highly speculated)

285: Schultz

do you think ysaguirre hits the portal? too bad they can't find a place for him. Vasquez too. Also, Parco 141?

Brooks = LeBron. A savant at his sport who is so good that everyone forgets he’s there.

Starocci = Kobe. Insane work ethic. Insane desire to win. Insane desire to dominate. 

Keck = Luca Doncic. LeBron but slower.

Arujau = Curry. A guy who was initially overlooked but became a world beater. 

Kerk = Jokic. Big dude who dominates with ho-hum efficiency. 

MM = Ant Edwards. Young guy with astounding physical gifts. 

KOT = Durant. Elite at everything.

Figueroa = Jalen Brunson. Came in without a ton of fanfare and made it to the top 

Haines = Shai GA.  Goes out there and quietly puts up a ton of points. No drama. 

Carr is Dame Lillard

totally! also baseball's boring, it should be only 2 outs per inning and 5 innings per game.

Everyone should be entitled to believe, or not believe, whatever they want without ridicule from anyone.  We are all human beings just trying to do our best at living.  

in fairness, they're not being ridiculed for believing, they're being ridiculed for talking bout it at literally every opportunity. And nobody's saying they shouldn't be allowed to talk about god, they just have to expect to be laughed at. There's nothing wrong here, this is how it works.
