Cornell Kevin

And even two more things joke or not, I am answering same way..it was based on bad info. You naming one guy, doesn’t constitute “the Cornell” and their rhetoric. So much comes out of his mouth especially, at times I don’t think the fan base wants to claim him but what can you do? I would hope nobody get worked up about my response. Just was setting the record straight on a topic that has completely gone to a false narrative. Thats all. Don’t let it bother you, it didn’t bother him.

Yeah you are right i didnt know they went to an out of state tournament start of year. Doesnt change anything I said either. Just means that he wrestled even that much more above his weight.

I can appreciate that, my 3 year old acts the same way when he is wrong.

He wrestled 170 this HS season just to try and get better competition, but could have gone 160 if he had needed to. I don’t recall him ever wrestling 175, I know that’s not a weight in NY. Turns out that it didn’t matter much what weight he went as even for him to wrestle 170 this year…a weight much higher than his walk around weight..he went 46-0 with 35 falls 9 tech falls and 2 ffts. Not one of his matches even made it to the half way point of the 2nd period. Stud!

Duke is 5’6” and has been that height for quite sometime.’Indont see him getting that much bigger. Only time will tell.

two things Shapiro was not speaking of Kasak in that Interview. Which makes one wonder why Penn St fans assumed he was He was actually bringing it up because of Johnny Lovett who he discussed after he wrestled the him the year prior as well of having freakish strength for someone at the weight. I wish he had just left it alone, but not everything in wrestling HAS to do with Penn St believe it or not You brougnt my comment to the Kasak "rhetoric" which you speak of .You and you only. Nobody from Cornell talks or cares to talk about Kasak or the accusations which some Penn st fans assume were made by Shapiro about him. Go to any forum and you won't find a bunch of Cornell fans discussing this topic that's for sure. You will help her see a bunch of Penn State fans discussing it. So I will respectively have to disagree with you and say it's people like yourself who knows no bounds in bringing this subject up. I am a Cornell fan yes, and I am allowed to. think that a guy who bumped up to weight classes in one season, and is 20 years old…..likely still growing, may move up another 2 weights 2 years from now. I think thats a pretty reasonable opinion. I can say this without it meaning what your false narrative assumes it to be. If you assumed that Shapiro meant Kasak, or that I in anyway meant PEDs with him moving up in weight...thats a you problem.

I honesly dont see Vito makiing 57 kg again and im starting to think that Yianni’s days may be done at 65kg Vito can be successful at 65kg. The year he won the world title he beat a guy at worlds who teched Nick Lee thay same year at 65kg. If he csn toss on another 6 or 7 lbs even (says he walks arounr at 142) i think he wiol be ok.

idk, if you have a guy who you can ink in as a 3x champ and no reason to mess with it. Duke is 5’6” 70kg is 154 lbs he has to lose about 6 lbs to make it. I dont see him getting much bigger but could see Kasak continuing to ballloon up to 174. i don’t necessarily agree with the idea that MM needs to wrestle 174 in order to be successful at 74kg (163 lbs). Takatani said he weighed 163 lbs after his match with Dake and pretty much walks around at that weight. Dake was cutting hard you are right and he hasnt looked good at all doing it compared to when he was at 79kg. 2026 157- PJ duke Kasak RS 165 MM 174 Haines 2027 157 PJ Duke 165 MM (senior) 174 Kasak

MM is a lifer at 165/74kg He is on the smaller side of the weight class. Its been said by both him and Askren that if he had to, he could have been a 157 pounder. Wpuld have been a cut, but do able. You will see him finish out his college career at 165.

Vito just turned 26 last month. He had a slipped disc in his neck and unfortunately that will always slightly hinder his performance. He has gotten much better with it however. You could clearly see it playout negatively for him in the first two crookham matches with his stance and fear of getting neck jarred. Even at worlds last year there were two specific positions vs Ono that he did not even attempt to defend becuase they were neck related. With this being said, its something that he will get used to and outside of that, he is injury free right now and him and Yianni have beem training hard. They have been bringing in a lot of outside training partners from Japan as well. I think Vito will make the team at 61kg all 3 years of the quad but who knows what lies ahead for him in 2028 in regards to the weight class

Thanks, that’s good stuff

There is only one page there. Can you possibly direct me on where I can find it so i can use in my data base? Thanks!

Why doesn’t it show wrestling in there or am i blind ?

That’s right it’s like the last couple days of December. Then even more of a case of it making the Cut off lol

Southern scuffle is the beginning of January and that makes the deadline of half way point. In 2024 Alvarez wrestled on 1/27, but the year I believe you are questioning is 2023 in which he wrestled in 8 duals which is too many . With or without the tournament that year, 8 duals is too many .
