Those are logical guesses

I am excited to see what type of impact this has on Virginia Tech's recruiting. I do not have an extensive knowledge of high school wrestling aside from the top P4P and the kids that make U17 world teams. There were quite a few champs at the lower weights, Keegan Bassett included. Maybe they are all tight and he can persuade them over the next few years to go to Virginia Tech.

It is literally impossible to say how big he is going to be, but he is much smaller than Bo was as a sophomore. Bo went from 113 to 132 as a sophomore, or something like that. I am assuming he is likely not young for his grade too. It happens. David Taylor went 103, 103, 112, 135.

I respect your opinion, it is a bit hard to compare for me because of Bo's attempts at senior level tournaments where Melvin has not. Melvin's best win is nothing compared to Bo. Melvin's best opponent is PJ Duke and wrestled him tough.

Is this really what people think? Bo has shown he is as blue chip as they come. Although a very oddly officiated match, he got a win over Beau Bartlett as a high school junior. Also got wins over Ashnault. He consistently beats Aiden Valencia. He also won a match against Luke Stanich, U20 world champion. He won U20 bronze the year prior. Melvin is definitely set to rack up a list of accomplishments this year as a high school junior. He has lost to some stud seniors throughout his sophomore year.

North Korea was a surprise to me.

Blades and Welker bronze. Helen gold. Women's team performance did not live up to expectations from recent years. No medals from the many first time world team members Missing some established point scorers from recent years without Adeline(Welker made up for it with Bronze), Amit(Glaude no points), Hildebrandt(Jiminez no points). Kilty with medals from 23 and 23, but didn't earn a medal this year. Jacarra no medal. She medaled in 23, so hard to say where she is in her career. She is 32.

thanks for clarifying!

No she does not. Argue between John Smith and Jordan Burroughs. Also, Adeline has more gold and as many as JB. She just didn't get it at Olympics. Also, I'll probably never mix mens and womens when discussing GOAT. Seems silly. Do we do that with any other sport?

Nothing went his way and it all snowballed. We have never seen him have to dig himself out of a hole. He wasn't able to get that even started against Armenia.

That is what Pyles asked Snyder about. It's a quote of the interview question. Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, so I can't answer your question.

Personal struggles he's been dealing with

Honestly, I'm speechless. That's too wild.

Excluding carryover points from previous worlds/olympics, the max points to earn each year is 67,000 points from one Continental Championship and four Ranking Series events, assuming gold in each. Wrestlers carryover 25,000 points for prior year world championship gold. 20,00p for silver, 16,000 for bronze, 14,000 for fifth.
