The biggest loser here is Jax, he's gonna have to deal with Ono or Blaze now. Also, could this be the greatest recruiting class ever: Ono, Blaze, Duke, Henckel, Cunningham, Desmond, Perry

If you think about it he doesn't have to figure out how to get out from bottom, he just has to figure out how to not get turned. Giving up one RT point isn't going to matter when he plays catch and release the other five minutes of a match. That being said, with his skills and as hard as he works he'll figure it out pretty quickly. He'll be working with some all-time hammers on top in the room (Zain, Nick Lee) which will accelerate his development.

But it is, it might not be official but it is. How do you think Ringer won it when he beat Zain, it was based on past performand. Zain had more wins, an 89% bonus rate while Ringer's was 82%. 4xers always get it (unless there are two) so you have to give it to a 5xer. Carter is friggin' 25-0 in the NCAA tournament, if that doesn't win the Hodge then nothing should.

Also Carter beat 6 of the other guys in the top ten while Hendrickson beat 4 and one was a hobbled Kerk.

Based on everything he's done. He hasn't lost a match on the mat for 4 years, only 5x champ, undefeated, 85% bonus rate. Both he and MM wrestled much tougher schedules in the Big Ten. You don't win the Hodge based on one upset, he spent the regular season coasting by being in the Big 12.

Carter is the Hodge winner, Hendrickson is probably third behind him and MM.

If he asks for cash up front they might fall for it.

He can't choose bottom so he's gotta be aggressive on his feet.

I think we know who gets the most gruesome ear award for 2025.

After the way Blaze stalled and played the edge against Kasak I hope that Taylor keeps this up and wins.

This ref is a joke, Ayala should have been stalled out.

I'm sure Carter's record will be taken away, he's a DEI champ.

Um, that would mean somebody else would be getting attention.

Exactly how they do it in North Korea!

Bartlett and SVN definitely took their semis opponents lightly, they had Mendez/Lovett on their mind.
