Do you guys think when there are SO many upsets, that tournaments just didn’t go the way they were supposed to go? The best wasn’t the best…

It's been a while since he's been healthy while competing. Does anyone know his plans for this year as well as the next quad? If not does anyone have any thoughts on his future outlook in general. One of the most gifted wrestlers I've seen.

Expensive...wow

It's felt like for a couple years now, all of the tippy top prospects have committed to Penn State even up until very very recently. The wrestling community should be more appreciative of kids choosing schools without the chatter of "Oh BuT tHaT WoN't StOp PeNn StAtE."

Duke, Blaze & Lilledahl or Dee, Jax & Dreshaun?

Cleveland State

I heard 100 million

The adopted one is the far better one

As a Buckeye fan I've been relativley disappointed with how the recruits have panned out as of recent minus the obvious ones but I think that the team is still young and next year will be the time to really perfrom. They have a good squad and they don't need to recruit super hard right now. Marcus Blaze was a tough loss but I thought if Blaze would have been going to tOSU he would've committed far far sooner. I think there is a chance Davino is the guy over Bouzakis and Bouzakis may bounce but I also think Davino is better. Feldman's confidence being shot is very worrying but I don't know if that's a product of coaching or a product of his own thoughts. Everyone put a full court press on Bassett but Ohio State is not the wrestling brand that the other three are and that is clearly what he cares about. I hink Tom Ryan has been excellent in his tenure as the Buckeyes coach for 15+, similar level coaches and programs have had far far worse lows.

Bo Bassett feels like one of the Hawkeyes last chances to rejuvinate their program in the Brands regime. I don't think Bassett is quite the wrestler Spencer was coming out but I believe he makes up for that in how big his brand is already and they very very clear attraction he will give to other recruits. Iowa has become the New York Yankees or Los Angeles Lakers in recent years where they are competitive but it has become clear that the fanbase expectation is to win championships and I think that window may already be closed now but the key may be locked and thrown in the trash if they can't land the new face of the program. That being said if they do land Bo it is more important than ever to build a team around him. They were able to build a championship team around Spencer (probably should've been 2 titles) they will need to pull it off again. And if they don't get Bassett, what direction does the Hawkeye program move to?

If you’re talking about 2023 trials he had the bye to the finals of an Olympic weight of course he’s not going to give that up.

That was also 3 years ago at an Olympic weight. He could also very likely go back down and it would be an easier cut without dealing with the concussion.

I hear that and would agree but it sounds like Yianni had a ROUGH cut going down and I don’t think those guys are going to be at the 70 KG trials considering they’ll be at 141 in the college season.

What if the world just transitioned to folkstyle

I think there’s also a very good chance all these guys will medal!
