Agree on Teemer, but I see the floor for Parco being lower than 4th.

Or that people above them switched weights or graduated.

David Taylor is an obvious absolute stud in folk style. We all admired him, and his skill set. He has been wrestling since adolescence. He lost his Junior year to Dake. By a riding point. Obviously Dake is special as well, but a guy that had worked on getting out from bottom for over a decade couldn’t. Do I think Ono would crush everyone? Pretty much yes. But someone throwing in boots, or spiral riding him, someone that truly knows top game, will choose top and make life hard for him. Ono would have 5min to get as many takedowns as he can. And he will take down anyone in his weight class.

Figure it out? Yes. But it takes more than figuring it out with an absolute hammer.

Let’s be real. We wish the USA would be better in freestyle. But could you picture some of these guys getting under some of our best folk riders?

The Yaz-Taylor competition over the past decade has been great. We, as fans, have been so privileged. Off the mat, both of these gentlemen have been absolute class acts. Again, us fans have been given a treat.

Snyder beat the puffy version of Sad, not the filled-out 97 version, that pinned him. He may be called our Captain America, but we’re the only nation that may see it that way sadly.

I mean his M4, or whatever it was called, training site.

Honestly, I'm still suprised none of Taylor's students followed him to Stillwater.

I don't see him being capable at 157, and he's definitely not winning 165. Probably not beating Haines at 174 either, so my question was does he stay or go. Why did Haines not want a RS?

My question is him staying down to 157.

If Facundo doesn't beat out Mess or Haines, does he transfer at Christmas?

No one is saying College Wrestling won't be fine. It obviously will. I'll still support it, and still continue going to each Championship. However, I do wish we'd dominate at the International level better. I look at Lee, and think what could've been. He got a Silver in his first International big-level tourney, at age 25 to a Veteran-level Beast, at 28. He was the can't miss future of American Wrestling, and is just now at the Senior level shooting his shot. I just want to see our elite be elite longer.

Zain was a World Champion at their age as well. And he became an all timer in college. Granted, he did win a World Title, but in a non-Olympic weight. He didn't do well at all in his Oly debut. I said this about the two because it doesn't always translate over. I'd rather see us dominant Internationally than seeing some Freshman win a college Title again.

Ask anyone that wrestles if they would give up their NCAA title for an Oly Gold, 100% would say yes. I'd love to see some of these guys go that route, and pursue FS from Day 1.
