Any chance Melvin pulls a "Forrest" and reclassifies up a year so him and Bo can head to VT together? I think Burton will be an instant AA contender too coming off of a decent RS year! As the OP said; "good problems"

I'd think the same applies to Duke too!! Maybe PJ jumps to 174 to fill the Haines gap!

Mesenbrink..... I am not a PSU guy; but he was so dominant from start to finish that it would feel wrong for him not to win it!! My top-3 taking all things into consideration: 1) Mesenbrink 2) Forrest 3) Barr 197 did not feel that deep this year; that is the only reason why Barr is not #2!

Aitmukhan pinned by Yoshida at 97kg... NIGHTMARE semis round... Aside from Forrest making the finals; the other three Americans are ousted

Moldova... Up 1-1 on criteria; Iranian got too aggressive on his attack and ended up being pushed out to lose 2-1

Iranian gave that match away... Could have coasted and won 1-1 on criteria! Welsh out

Feel bad for Blaze... But the stepout call was correct!

He re-opened his recruitment and recently chose Princeton! There was a FB post on October 18th from his mother confirming it!

Gavin Mangano to Penn State !!! https://www.facebook.com/nyusaw/posts/pfbid0XKA7PPqM6jmiT9j3RRQANT9aWASN1vgdETfWWPiohF6uRgCAPXvg6UuykrNoPTVUl

Thank you for the confirmation/clarification.... I thought criteria stated that only Senior National team members were eligible! But I am guessing it must have been updated! https://www.themat.com/olympic-world-teams

Correct me if I am wrong... But I always thought that National team was top-4 in an Olympic year; Top-3 in any other season!! So for example....At 65kg; wouldn't Blaze need to win his true 3rd in order to have any dibs to the U23 spot? If he was to lose at Final X; technically, I am not sure if he'd be considered part of the NT!

I respectfully see it differently! Looking at all three of their 2024-2025 seasons (not considering past achievements); I found that it could be argued that Hendrickson is easily the most deserving choice 1) He was mathematically proven to be the most dominant wrestler in the nation 2) His wins over Steveson, Kerkvliet, Trumble (3x; twice by fall), and Schultz (2x) are as, if not impressive than anyone that MM beat this year (including Caliendo)... 3) He just beat a 24-year-old Olympic Gold medalist; Starocci barely beat two college freshmen! -The 5x Champ thing is cool; but meaningless since he was the only way capable of doing it! If Smith, Sanderson, Dake, Stieber, Diakomihalis, or Brooks were given five chances; they too would be 5x champs! -Look at the coverage the sport is receiving right now....Because of the shock value, Hendrickson's win last night brought more attention from traditionally non-sport genre outlets than any of Starocci's five titles did!

FloArena is shit across the board... The brackets from the Roller WOW Kickoff Classic are also all jumbled and incomplete!
