Lleynor

Peterson literally did nothing. How can anyone complain about Lill that bout?

YouTube TV not showing….

Gift? The eye test is crazy for him. And he’s wrecking almost everyone.

No. I stand by what I said. 100% I think Burrough would be better than Dake, but neither being exceptional.

I understand that. He catches the eyes of recruits. But you know what’s really cool? Winning. People ride the line at PSU to get their shot at winning. If JB doesn’t make a wrestler consistently go from good to great, what’s he getting paid for? I just think he’s more of a band-aid on a bullet wound guy. A temporary fix.

I’ve said it on here so many times, and I’ll say it again; I don’t see Burrroughs being a good HC. Freestyle, maybe. What can he teach that he did? To be explosive? To be a Superior Athlete? Again, same for Dake. I mean, Dake dominated matches 3-1, and 4-2 in college. Holding center and not giving up a takedown, or utilizing a blast double 5 feet out is not capable by 99.9% of the world. Did they generate much offense?

Minto is a brick house?!?!

Another was Zain obviously. But the scary part on him was his superior technique to go along with it.

Glory is a good one. Spencer kinda ducked him while in college. Another was Sebastian Rivera when he was a 125.

Shocked everyone focused so hard on stopping his offense, that no one even mentioned stopping his defense or initiating your own offense. One can block him all day, but he will stall you out before the 3rd period. He’s coming, guns blazing, and will earn 2-3 stalls in the 1st if you don’t attack. Re-attacks will not deter the Ref from seeing the opponent not initiating their own offense. The guy is a menace, and I’m privileged to get to watch him wrestle. The Hodge is his to lose.

Very true. Just weird.

I don’t understand him honestly. He is so explosive offensively, when he commits to a shot. His Semi matchup is where I saw it. But he’s so passive. Although he won, he should’ve been more aggressive against the Minny guy who isn’t known for his defense as much as his offense.

No more freestyle? Just the grappling? Does he have a club he coaches?

Next year, I mean, about Blaze.

Does Blaze go to 141?

I can’t find updated brackets anywhere.

My fear of him is he may be a career tweener. Does he have the length to go 74, and the capacity to cut and be competitive at 65? I hate the limited weight class BS…

Looks like he wasn’t wrong.

I agree he’ll be a great CEO! He will put together great recruiting. I just don’t see him being capable personally in maximized development.

An explosive blast double is all he had in Folk. And freestyle honesty. He did it at such a high level in both, that he was able to win significantly more than lose. Both he and Dake won a whole lot on superior athleticism. Burroughs benefited his offense and Dake his defense. No coach can teach how to have positional athleticism. None. You either are or aren’t. One of the best examples that I can give of my opinion is Nick Lee. Nothing about him was athletic. But he was so positionally sound, and had solid fundamentals and technique. He was coached to his strengths, and did it at an elite level. Zero flash or wow factor, and yet was a 2-time National Champion. He got coached up on what he could be taught. What could Burroughs have taught him about a blast double from 3 steps out? Or Dake at holding center when the guy you’re wrestling is stronger and quicker than you? I just don’t see certain coaches capable of coaching what they could do.

I just don’t see Burroughs or Dake being great HCs. They will recruit great, yes, but what they were on the mat isn’t as teachable.

I’m really curious to see how Jax does against someone bigger in Folk. Byrd is so strong for the weight class.

Kyle Dake used to hammer people 4-0. He didn’t bonus everyone, but still absolutely dominated a match. Score does not always reflect the match.

He blocked all match. He should’ve been stalled out of the match.
