I feel like this is an area where a certain type of Wrestler does better. More of a brawler and...I really don't mean this as a dig on NIckal, but...he wasn't the most physical. David Taylor Id say the same thing about or most of those guys. Now Aaron Brooks...I feel like...aside from the fact that he'd never have the reach advantage, his style would work or Starocci maybe. Zain. I feel like he'd be a pretty scrapy fighter, but...I don't know how much all this funk really helps in MMA.

That's...just insane. I've cut a lot of weight(or so I thought)...and the most I've lost was...13-15 pounds in the last 3 days and maybe 10 pounds the night before. 25 pounds in 72 hours is...WILD.

I thought you were pretty bothered by this conversation as you don't care about MMA and come here to get updates on College Wrestling(during the height of College Wrestling News in MAY)...

Then stop trying to police what we talk about and where we talk about it...

I didn't even reply to you or say a word to you, but if you're granted a Student Visa, you're allowed all the protections that come with the 1st amendment. That includes being able to protest. I can't possibly see how we'd have issues with behaving in what you deem to be a "certain way." This was actually because of the stupid posts about how I WASN'T actually responding to this post, but as long as I am, it's certainly in conflict with your belief that you're well informed.

Why? People are talking about it here. He's a former Wrestler. I haven't glanced at the MMA board in a....long time.

Yeah, because someone wrote something as stupid as 'as long as he doesn't protest.' That's where we are. The well informed electorate. 'He can be here... long as he doesn't say anything but good things about this country.' That doesn't sound authoritarian at all!

Ross is going to be a problem when he's ~245-260. If he can put that weight on....and he looks like he should be able to, he's different than the rest of these guys IMO.

Oh man... if only he'd fought a chimp. Just single leg, dump, take the back, choke. Easy. They can't think like Bo does(not certain that favors Bo though if I'm being honest). Conversely, it could have been a very small Gorilla. Not a 600 LB Gorilla, but a 200LB Gorilla. So basically a 1/3rd size Gorilla. If 3 Bo's could beat 1 Gorilla, then 1 Bo should be able to beat 1 midget Gorilla, right?

Awesome. So you picked a guy who didn't Wrestle in College...at all. Brilliant.

Oh Jesus Christ... are you that insecure about Iowa Wrestling? I don't remember where I saw it. I saw a comment...I know I DIDN'T see it on a platform I don't go on or from anyone I don't follow and saw that he was going to Penn State, went to ChatGTP, it said he was going to Penn State, threw out a couple sources...I assumed the Pennsylvania guy who's cousin is on Penn State...was going to Penn State. I know that's a huge leap and pretty crazy Penn State would get the top guy in the Country. You're up to date. You can stop your neurotic worrying that Bo's adopted Brother will not be in Iowa in 3-4 years...

Yes. I go on Pat Minow's facebook all the time to post where kids I have absolutely no connection or relation to are going to Colleges I also have no connection or insider knowledge of. No. I do follow Pat Minnow on any platform...much less Facebook.

I wasn't sure. The rules were changing so much...but I've had a disagreement with an old coach of mine. He said two guts were allowed. But...I do remember you could do 5 laces or I learned it as the "Olympic" Role. This would have been when I was a little kid just starting out in Freestyle and Greco. So...mid 90s or so.

It just seems soft based on the videos I see. They'll show someone who...is clearly a Wrestler and talk about what a "bad sport" he is because he's trying to handfight and...then gets choked out. That and then the scooting on their rear like a dog with worms. But I do know a lot of people still doing it when their 40. That wouldn't make it...not low impact.

Yeah...I generally zone out to all the PSU-Iowa petty nonsense. I'm skeptical that Miller is an Iowa lean because Bo is though. His cousins are the Gibson's right? He was blindsided with the Bassett family(though I guess Oher did end up with Ole' Miss). I'm not that invested in...any of this. I saw people saying he was going to Penn State, I looked it up...this is what I've got. If it's not true...it won't impact my life.

I can only see one guy touching Ono...and if Ono can get out on bottom, even Crookham won't be able to. But that's the tough part. I have absolutely no clue what's going on with Nagao.

The Olympics were the first time you've seen him look gassed? I thought it was VERY clear his Sr year...well before Ramos upset him that his conditioning was not great. I don't think there's...a chance Ramos beats him if he's not gassed in the 3rd period. I think he looks fine now. He lost a 3-2 match to Ono. I really struggle to see this match-up being close. Lillendahl is a stud and a great young Wrestler...

No, I'm...well aware they are two very different kids.

Well...maybe it's not true, but I was looking to see where it was likely he'd wrestle and I found this...a while ago. Though...this says "signed," and...I don't think he could sign anywhere yet. https://www.letsportsrock.com/?p=31009

No I'm not sure. The internet could certainly be lying to me, I've just seen that he committed to PSU...2-3 months ago.

Was there a time you could only do one gut at a time? There had to be a score in between or you have to come back up to your feel? I remember you could hold someone for a count(on a trapped arm or something) and then go back to the Gut...but I can't recall if it was ever limited to 1 or if it was 2 gut wrenches.

I didn't think they were much different in size, I just thought that was how they worked it out so Connor wasn't Wrestling Sinclair. Cole=Not cutting weight, Connor actually had to cut some weight to go 195. And when I say "they worked it out," the AWA guys just spread out among the weights. I saw it as well, but I didn't think Hopke was that big. He's put on a lot of weight.

Yeah...sucks for us, but great for... Crookham or anyone else at 133. It'll make things even more interesting...the one year. Can he win it with the mat Wrestling. It's gonna be pretty fun either way.

Something change between his commitment and now? And if he flips to Iowa, will that be Iowa poaching him?

May he not grow up to be a @Jimmy Cinnabonor @Spencerlee!!! Or a 165LB Wrestler as Penn State still appears to have a logjam that may not clear out by the time he's around. More importantly, where are Miller, James and Duke going to College? So if a Soph gets a TD on a Sr in HS who had 5 techs and lost a single match 5-5 at the World Championships last year, is that really the flex Iowa fans seem to think it is?
