Absolutely awesome post! Where do you find the time? To know these international athletes this well is impressive alone, let alone the analysis. We'll done! Peace! ~Curt

Jammenz...I agree, it was a GREAT article from Kyle. My condolences to Sue and J's entire family and the countless members of the Minnesota wrestling family who now mourn. Thank you for the job J as JROB Director for so many years and most importantly, for the countless memories!

Crookham to Minney...come on Eggs...make it happen!

What a great post jackwebster and so true. Likewise, I always found it more important to be consistent in all matters than try to be someone else. Consistency brings with it, trust. Regards Coach!

Are you claiming that experience (i.e. level of eligibility) is dependent on ability to horsepower your opponents? I'm missing your point on why Jax is not a "truly" True Freshman...which he is.

I thought it was easy...Vega, Ow...MM Hodge. Don't like the idea of splitting the Hodg, so IMO, it is clearly MM for Hodge as well, now that they screwed up the OW.

I was speaking about Vega as the OW.

Yeah...and ONE of those against a senior, two-time champ...definitely OW caliber!

Thought I read somewhere that MM was the OW? That would be a bit of a travesty. Hodge...totally ok with that, however, seeing a true frosh go undefeated while beating a guy going for his third title is the OW of this tournament. Is it possible we are already under appreciating the feats these young men are achieving?

He would have to make weight for anything to count. Points, position, etc.

I appreciate the suspicion it could happen. I just don't see it. I believe it's more likely that Caleb Rathjen opens the bottom half with the way he has been competing. Also, I would have to pick against Kapusta and I just can't do that!

I always wonder who can take out a PSU stud. The problem is...THEY are the tough out. I realize everyone can have a bad day but it is almost impossible to predict who can out pace one of the PSU wrestlers. Who do you see taking out SVN? I don't see it.

I like this one as well! Geez...so many but as a Minny fan, I think the match between Volk and Roark is far from a given.

Power doubled the wife in the middle of the hallway after listening to Schwabee. Dogs didn't even dare.

Vega could be extremely dangerous to anyone, especially wrestling him the first time. With that said, Mendez is off the charts technical for this day and age. Mendez with the sizeable win IMO.
