BB has a much stronger freestyle resume in the last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But there was only one rep. Now, you could face 2 or 3 medal-worthy reps from former Soviet countries plus an Iranian on your way to gold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's kind of a running joke; DT and Cael refer to Casey as the strongest man in the world. Casey's wife/Asher's mom, Tara, was literally the strongest women in the world. That said, Asher appears to have inherited quite a bit of his parent's good genetic material and he is incredibly strong. He's also the number two 165 in his graduating class, per Flo, so he's rapidly moving up the ranks.

If Facundo and Barr end up being AAs this year, great. But, neither of them are pinners or have any kind of real top game. And they don't have incredible offense. I think that their time in the PSU lineup is going to be limited. Ryder, Henckel and maybe Sealey and Cunningham could all grow into 174/184 options. Cunningham is going to be the strongest kid at any weight class he enters. He's a late bloomer and won't be taking any of the team's 9.9.

BB is coming back. Carter is not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the PSWC banquet Haines said he’s going 165. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If Sasso can wrestle at the D1 level again, that's a huge win. Given that he was rumored to be going 157 this year, I don't think there's any chance at all that he goes 149 unless he's lost a significant amount of muscle in his time off the mat.

I'm going to sarcastically quote rabid no step on snek crowd: My right to free speech (liberty, guns) is God-given, and not given to me by any person who has served in the military and died in the service of the country. Also, claiming that someone is pissing on those who died in the service of their country is a bit dramatic.

He's one of the many kids at 157-184 that will be entering the lineup over the next couple years that make it really hard to predict who will go what weight, and who will start. I think next year is relatively "known", aside from maybe BB and Kerkvliet. But the log jam at those middle-upper weights starting in the 2025-2026 season is going to be wild. I've been a little disappointed in the offensive development of both of the Davison, MI guys. While I think both Facundo and Barr will start this year at 174 and 184, respectively, they also both need to improve dramatically in terms of set ups and finishing.

Mirasola is going to be training with Cael Sanderson, David Taylor, Jake Varner, Kyle Snyder and Aaron Brooks. I’d put a lot of money on him winning that match at 197. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That lineup might get blanked by PSU in two years. Lilledahl/Davis/Desmond Lilledahl/Davis/Desmond/Nagao Kasak SVN Mesenbrink/Sealey Haines/Sealey Facundo/Ryder/Haines Barr Mirasola Mirasola Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The question originally posed was, more or less, when was the last time an American service member died for the rights of other Americans. Somehow, American now equals Afghan? And constitutional freedoms equal human rights, according to you? Speaking of moving the goal posts. Wow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you were truly a patriotic American you’d be interested in what these people think, and have to say (not these basketball players, of course), that has resulted in them protesting in this manner, as opposed to villainizing them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, because they are “ghetto girls”, they should have their constitutional rights violated? Really? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, if Kennedy can convince the NCAA to make matches 10min long, and make grabbing hold of one leg a TD, make all of his opponents have 102 degree fevers, and his opponents MD = a win for him, he’s a sure thing to AA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Imagine Kennedy wrestling Mesenbrink at 157. Dead before the end of the first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Iowa brand is stale. With the exception of some transfers, all of them wrestle the same. Some are better than others. Can't scramble or use far ankle defense, have trouble finishing against similarly skilled wrestlers.

That was one of the best breakdowns I’ve seen. One thing that is often missed in technical breakdowns, but he did here (IIRC, Kasak vs Lovett match) was talking about the use of the head as a fifth appendage and how Kasak used it to keep Ridge’s knee from rotating back in, which prevented any kind of scramble and planted Ridge firmly on his backside. That was really good stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
