    isn't Kiyooka still pretty young? He also grew into 65 and probably won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Tough decision for Ono.

    Non-puffy Sadz looked rather non-puffy, but I'm convinced that he has cement implants in his ass. Possibly his hands, too. I demand x-rays!

    Which brings into question the trials bye system favoring older incumbents rather than having them go through the grind of a tournament like they would at Worlds or the Olympics. I'm not saying that's my argument, I'm just enjoying age-old messageboard debates coming full circle.

    My thoughts exactly. I'm suprised that he's closer to 86 than 92, and smaller than Yazdani. He made Sadulaev look small. Dude is jacked.

    But if Taylor wins, people could say Ghas just brain farted again

    Cael ankle picking Achilles like there's no tomorrow

    Someone should remind Shohei of his national sports pride and get him to fund programs at UCLA and USC

    No idea what was going through Ghasempour's head at that moment. I'm stunned. I like that the Iranian fans were calling for a fall on Sadulaev during the final scoring sequence, though Good fans.

    I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this but yeah, Ghasempour had the match sealed and it looked like he just decided to stop wrestling with 7 seconds left on the clock. That after holding his positions and not giving up an inch of mat throughout the match. Like what the hell. Another "watch while it's still up" link:

    Imo Spencer will want to continue, the question is whether his body agrees.

    @nhs67 makes a valid point about Sadulaev winning a grinder but I agree Taylor would have a round one match advantage in terms of rust factor and with Sadz coming off the scales. Someone mentioned in an earlier discussion that the cut to 92 ain't no thang for Sadulaev, but we'll see.

    I've missed SHP's weekly WIPs

    Yikes, that's pretty rough

    Weigh-ins are on Wednesday, no?

    Damn. I guess I won't be selling him one of these.

    I was under the impression that CU the school was doing all right relative to CU athletics, which is a separate entity. It seemed like the college has been mitigating its enrollment deficit with record transfer admissions. Did the athletics spend or set aside funds for new athletics facilities? I appreciate you giving us the inside scoop there.

    That's true. DT went through the same thing. The high paced attacks and chain wrestling that won him titles up through college didn't translate at the senior level in FS. Moving up to 86kg forced Taylor to change his style quite a lot ,but you could see him learning to be more selective with his motion and positions even as he was learning to be a world level freestyler at 74.

    A wrestler who gets taken down and scores a 2pt reversal or 1pt escape is incentivized to turn their opponent or cut them loose and work for a takedown because they're still losing. It also incentivizes the wrestler who got reversed to get out from underneath because a reversal + RT would negate their takedown. A 3 point reversal would just tie the score 3-3 and encourage rideouts.

    Holding out could also work against a kid. We're talking about wrestling, which doesn't have deep pockets like the NIL collectives that drive football & basketball. Funds could run dry as other wrestlers are signed, or a collective might decide to splurge on another top guy. If money is a huge factor for BB, it might be in his best interest to be transparent and ask for best and final offers up front while the money's available and there's an appetite.

    Haha, he's really milking it. With college sports being what it is, it would be kinda funny if he does a top 80 transfer portal countdown every season.

    Man, Cenzo must have U-Haul on speed dial by now. Hopefully he's happy working under Koll again. He was doing good work and enjoying himself during his stint at Stanford but seemed embittered, like the rest of us, when NIL started rolling.

    Impressive. Fans gotta at least make some noise for that. I mean come on, PSU peanut gallery.
