125: Richard Figueroa 133: Lucas Byrd 141: Andrew Alirez 149: Ty Watters 157: Tyler Kasak 165: Mitchell Mesenbrink 174: Keegan O'Toole 184: Parker Keckeisen 197: Stephen Little 285: Wyatt Hendrickson

This can be a catch-all thread for random thoughts. I heard a funny quote today that made me LOL: "The Western World is run by the mediocre children of accomplished people"

I think I have the last three years, although in different formats. I need to come up for air from some things that people are expecting from me and I will package it together.

I am sorry to be a duck, but I have only a couple years of transfer data and none of it is actually linked to results

In any event, Howard is no longer on the roster

I'll take Keckeisen over Starocci.

I guessed 177/184 but I it was just a hunch - probably wrong

gotta be. none of these others have that level of rivalry

I would favor Crookham in folkstyle right now

In my opinion, the 50 was a bit much for a number of reasons: the Fed have the dual mandate of stable prices and full employment. these are both still within target range. although unemployment is trending upward, now with U3 at 4.2 in August, the Fed is trying to get ahead of that. inflation is not at risk of going far below target. in the Fed's view, 50 was needed. i would have started at 25. I also think its odd to be more aggressive so close to an election, given how many people conflate the economy with the part of the current president. I also think the forward guidance was way too dovish. As if to imply the neutral rate will be back closer to where it had been pre-pandemic. I don't buy that, barring some miraculous fiscal balancing act

Hard to predict so far ahead. Right now, Blaze and Duke are some of the most impressive. Some of the heavies might take longer to develop but Cody Merrill, Feldman (at 97KG), Christian Carroll, etc

Flo is reporting Cannon back to Northwestern as said above. Separately, Peter Ming has attempted to certify for Stanford, and was recently featured in a post by the school, seeming to indicate that he has been accepted to grad school there and will return for a year. Finally, Sidney Flores from the Air Force who was technically in the portal after not wrestling a couple years, has decided to pursue his full-time MBA at Clemson (and so will not be wrestling)

Wonder if he will save Pitt Johnstown as the last one to be excluded - or if that would be too heartbreaking for them. If they're not going to get him - I'm not sure what the ideal situation would be.

Not sure how people manage to effectively suck weight with these tests. I remember the first year they started imposing this in high school, I got down to 119, to qualify the weight, but my body fat was around 3%. the number seemed low, so got it checked at a DEXA, and it was legit. At that time you could get a doctor's note, but mine wouldn't write one. So I bumped to 125.
