I felt better about Metcalf internationally then zain. Metcalf to me is the best guy that never won a medal in USA wrestling history. Everytime he stepped on the mat I thought he had a chance. He won the world cup pretty dominantly and when he did lose it was a nailbiter. At 65 now...we can't compete with the elites.

So Aaron Brooks is going to try to outscore you ?? No he is going to try to shut you down Taylor could outscore and outpace yaz. Brooks won't win a bullfight against the real bull. Marinellis is a poor man's bull. Yaz is the unstoppable bull

How much plus money do you think we get dake at ? Plus 300 to gold ?

Dake is on a mission for gold. He will not be denied After that....I don't see a gold at all Zain is a Metcalf clone on international. Will lose a tough battle by getting out gamed and out savvied Brooks is not touching a pissed off yaz. Brooks gold medal mentally and training wise was beating Taylor. Yaz wants it more and good matchup. Snyder.....he is bronze quality .... His upset over sadulaev is a one off. The gap is widening. The field also has proven they can pick off Snyder. He has not gotten any better since trading OSU for Penn state That leaves Spencer Lee and Paris. Both imo can medal and are the x factors on the team ....could make the finals.....but they aren't winning gold.

Brooks also wrestles a style somewhat similar to hidlay. And dieringer. And yaz Getting into a bull fight with yazdani is a guarantee loss. You won't out bull the bull. You have to be somewhat dynamic to wrestle yaz and stay out of his game and make it a different style of game Brooks prefers the grind out style and out strength you ....this is not Kaleb Romero or Trent hidlay

Has Valencia ever faced off against yazdani ? He poses the next best leg attacks outside Taylor that we've seen give yaz trouble. Of course....Valencia looks like he could pass for an Iranian as well. So would like to see it Pico another Iranian looking guy got smashed by yaz back in the day

He gave cael the same amount of time as Jeff Jordan. LOL. Taylor is here to kick caels ass now. No time for sucking up . Taylor has an edge and I like it

I believe burroughs dake....most of Taylor contemporaries ....but especially a guy like jb Are thinking damn.....what great timing by Taylor This was truly a great great move by Taylor.....and impeccable timing...and his contemporaries are jealous imo Ok state and Iowa and Penn state post cal......those are the only blue bloods. This job hasn't been open for 30 friggin years LOL Taylor said it best...I've accomplished all my dreams wrestling ..it was time for a new challenge. ....im not sure Taylor gets into head coaching if a blue blood didn't open up either

Taylor needs to bring dieringer back Getting dake is a check mate type move

I thought Taylor showed depth I didn't think he had The moment of him really leaning into smith and thanking him was a great moment. As well as mentioning Jeff Jordan.

Dresser dressing that place up Dresser and Tom Ryan are better businessmen that tacticians ....this will be dressers legacy. Wake me up when he wins a team title

No thread on the presser ? How is that possible Let me say you just *don't always quite know* if a guy who hasn't been a head coach has *it* until hes that guy DT in athlete interviews never screamed coach .........but let me tell you.....the presser Mic was different then his athlete mic This dude is a coach and has it. Born for it. He had some charisma .....in spades more then cael DT never seemed like a great talker .....today he did.....he has the vibrancy the energy the want to.....AND the living room and donor ability ....I had no idea about those 2 The way he is picking up Gilman and Kennedy and praising them is a nice touch....I am also seeing leadership Even the great John smith came away with a whole new impression post preseer

Wouldn't be shocked for a one off on a big event .... In fact prbly likely for a worlds. He will be active in the room. Just last week Taylor said he wouldn't coach anywhere but Penn state. His word has little stock

Taylor kind of brought the golden age of wrestling. Dake cox jb it's sad watching them all end their career. Taylor is the most unlikeable or the bunch. The way he handled the cox defeat was disgusting. ....some people think he's kind of a dick I hear. Only cares about Taylor etc. He doesn't associate with his high school or Jordans anymore. Alot of great act this way ...but you don't sense it among jb cox etc and the other superstars. Snyder maybe more aligned with Taylor in this regard then others. At end of day he just can't beat great defense. As far as goat status the dake cox and brooks matches should be noted for how his style can absolutely be throttled and in the end is a level below the dakes and jbs for me in the pecking order (if dake secures a gold in Paris )

Greco is the best reason to have wrestling in the Olympics. Mans oldest sport. Is Greco. It has an honorary exemption status forever. And is carrying freestyle on its backs. Without that history....wrestling would be excluded

Is this the guy that murdered nickall and beat Snyder

He really doesn't dominate the way you would expect a stud to do dominate with big margins Stieber felt alot more dominant in high school.....and I believe had a better win vs a college guy Maybe he is more Kyle dake and it actually translates better than some of these studs that flameout Would of liked to of seen him against a more prolific offensive style then suriano and see how that match goes

Messenbrink was driving into jbs ankles after whistle was blown and off matt..... dirty Wrestling needs to implement NFL style officiating for after whistle is blown Interesting storroci said he would spit in jbs face if he did that.....talk about classless. And then went on to say messenbrink isn't a tough guy ....because if he was tough jb wouldn't of even attempted it and he would never against real tough guys like him and brooks. .....and also maybe nickall even....because he is kind tough but not as tough as storroci and brooks Then said jb walks around like he's king Kong

Ferrari got bood too.....that's what happens when you push someone. Jbs was actually much harder then Ferrari. Ferraris was commonplace and would be unnoticed if the opponent didn't get up and run at him. Messenbrink would of not done shit to Ferraris push. Normal proceedings

Yep never heard Gilman say before no matter what happens win or lose it's been a good ride Same with yianni ...yianni lost the fire

When I compare messenbrink to nolf or zain in college since he gets that kind of hype..they were so much better on top....so much stronger....so much more fundamental....so much better defense....beat and dominated much more upper level competition

Carr was up like 8 to 1 and mm scored on stall calls Wake me up when mm wrestled dudes like Isiah Martinez or kremerer or even guys like Micah Jordan in college Messenbrink is a level below the top top tier in college imo and keeps being put there. He is a clear level below Carr and otoole. You can't win in senior level with no defense. That's been proven over and over. I'm the guy who said mm would be destroyed before the burroughs match when everyone else said it would be close.

Alliseeisgold is great branding...great marketing ...but it's not a true nickname. Nobody comes up and says "hey alliseeisgold'....but they do come up to marinelli and say hey bull Kind of like the truth for Paul Pierce. Diesel for shaq. Air Downey would have a case in this discussion. Magicman and alliseeisgold....not as diverse and as useable as the bull.

Hard disagree.....Taylor looked flat and ready to retire against dake and jden cox back in the day.....it's just how he looks when he faces a wrestler who is elite defensively That is Taylor's crypnonite and why he isn't the goat. Some stylistic matchups just make his offense go cold. Taylor is still our best rep for Olympics ( he performs better internationally) and is still at top of his game. ........ Does anyone think brooks went to cael and asked him the secrets to stop Taylor ? And would cael give them away ?
