  1. As seen below, I was able to get leaked photos of Gable training with our friend from down under in the Coed Breakdancing for LA 2028
  2. Yes…apparently too much time on my hands and too much interest in pic collage app
  3. Steveson is actually gearing up for the 2028 coed Breakdancing in LA with our friend from down under as seen in the photo below leaked of their training. #anythingbutwrestling #anythingotherthanwhatimbestat
  4. I am not arguing that he can’t compete with some of the senior level guys, what I was saying was that he is not ready to make Final X yet and there certainly isn’t any shame in that for the 18 year old. Regardless of who Pantaleo lost to this week, doesnt matter. What I saw between that match and His finals match tonight leads me to believe that James Green and Yianni would both eat him up right now prolly by tech fall. No clue what’s was up with the finals match tonight it was very un-Duke like for him not to shoot or be the aggressor at all. He will for sure have to change that up before next months senior event. We can do A over B and B over C so A over C all day but the fact is James Green has made the senior world team at 70kg every time he has put his hat into the ring since 2015 which makes Yianni’s victory even that more impressive. I don’t think he last a whole match with Yianni or James Green
  5. it’s not a big deal but he was speaking of Yianni the entire time and had no clue it was Candenas. it was funny but he made fun of himself
  6. Believe the question is asking for guys who had to beat two separate individuals who were already NCAA champs, not guys who were 2x champions.
  7. 70kg notes: •How about Pantaleo not even placing at 70kg? He lost to Arrington 3-2 on back side after losing to Andonian by 4-4 criteria on front side. • Watch out for Arrington next year, he seems to be a whole new animal at 157 lbs as seen by his red shirt success at the weight. Two time blood rounder will be a blood rounder no more! • Pretty impressive for Ian Parker to take 3rd place. • PJ Duke to try and make X through challenge tourney? I know people mention PJ Duke jumping in to try and make Final X. I am a huge PJ Duke fan, been watching him dominate here in NY since he was in 7th grade. With that being said, I have my doubts about him being quite ready for these top tier senior level guys yet like a Yianni or James Green. When I watched him vs Pantaleo at this past world team trials for non olympic weights, the match was not really that close. Maybe it was just a bad match up for him style wise, but I don’t think he is quite there yet. Not that there is anything wrong with a HS kid not being the best in the country at seniot level yet lol. Not to take anything away from what Blaze, and Jax are doing, but it is that much harder for HS guys to compete at those 65-70-74kg weight classes at senior level I think. Duke will win a Gold this year at U20s and likely should have won it last year had it not been for that embarrassing cold spray performance show cased by his semi opponent who had clearly ran out of gas. •Great title for Yianni! • Yianni teched/pinned his way to final before beating Green 8-2. • Green has been nearly unbeatable vs domestic on our soil at 70kg. In fact, every time he has thrown his hat in for the 70kg world team spot, he has earned it. • Yianni is now 4-0 vs Green in FS. • although 8-2 final, that match was neck and neck till about a minute to go. Yianni in great shape. I think it’s safe to say that these two will rematch at Final X. Unless maybe Nick Lee or Zain were to jump in which I doubt.
  8. It was actually 5-2 Cardenas after Yianni lost the challenge. Yeah in normal speed looked like that was just a smooth chest wrap by Yianni but then they called it a feet to back for Cardenas followed by an exposure for Yianni. Man oh man did Yianni stomp him after that out scoring him 18-2 rest of the way!
  9. He thought Cardenas was Garvin. And that went on for quite sometime
  10. He is not in the bracket, he was supposed to be U20 65kg, not sure why he isn’t

  12. It surprises me a little that they came back with absolutely no modifications on the roster limit as the judge had strongly suggested. She even said on April 7th something along the lines that if it wasn’t worked on that they risked her declining the entire deal. With that being said, I don’t see her doing so. I think it will pass.
  13. When I was in HS, I got to go to the NCAAs At Carver. The year was 1995, it was my sophomore year. Anyway, I look back and what an experience! I got to see: - the first 4 Hodge Trophy winners in one tournament. Was this the only time ever that an NCAAs would have 4 Hodge winners (to be) in it? No idea, but to have the first 4 was special. Jaworsky that same year (1st one they did 1995) Les Gutches would win the 2nd ever Hodge in 1996. He was at these 1995 NCAAs and quite dominant winning his first NCAA title. He was the Hodge runner up to Jaworsky in 1995 Kerry McCoy would win the 3rd ever Hodge in 1997.. He was at these NCAAs entering as the returning NCAA champ but would get upset in the semis and take 3rd.. He would then red shirt and comms back to win his second title and a Hodge as a senior. MarK Ironside would win the 4th ever Hodge in 1998. He was at these NCAAs as a freshman and would finish 6th at these NCAAs I was at and go on to finish 3-1-1 the next 3 years. Other things I got to see which I will always remember at these NCAAs • 2x NCAA champion at the time, Lincoln McIlravy getting upset in the final, at Carver mind you, to Steve Marianetti (Illinois) 13-10 snapping his 57 match win streak and ultimately preventing him from becoming a 4xer as he would red shirt the following year and then win his 3rd title a year later. Lincoln had beaten Marianetti both times he faced him previous to this (1993 NCAA semis and two weeks prior to this loss at the 1995 Big ten finals 6-4). This was shocking at the time. Marianetti took him down 5x in that final. • Kerry McCoy having his 88 match win streak snapped in the semifinals with a 4-3 loss to Northern Iowa’s Justin Greenlee. Shocking! McCoy came back to take 3rd. McCoy was the MOW of big tens two weeks prior, he was the defending NCAA champ having gone 48-0 the year prior, and was on an 88 match win streak. Had he been able to win that match, he would have likely ended his career with a 132 match win streak as that semi loss was his only loss from his soph to senior year (131-1). He actually wrestled 190 as a freshman and only went 19-17. • Just seeing Dan Gable coach (he only would go on to coach two more seasons): This and seeing him at Carver, it was incredible. The newspapers were filled with wrestling and talking front page all over. • A guy from my high school, Dan Payne, wrestled heavy weight for Clarion and we got to see him get on the podium which was special. she entered college as a 177 pounder and ballooned up to a 285. • Got to go down into the wrestling room and in there practicing were Tom and Terry with each other along with Bruce Baumgartner and many others . Ventured a little off topic here but just wanted to share my experience.
  14. did mine.. Willie’s is great!
  15. There was a 3 way tie at NCAAs for 24th place. They have included all 3 teams in the lotto making the total 14 rather than 12.
  16. thanks to @Wrestleknownothing for putting this awesome dominance chart together. Love this stuff!
  17. this has been corrected on mine
  18. Vincent Cornella I believe is much superior to Saunders. Saunders showed some good stuff this year with a major over Josh Edmond and some other good wins going 20-8 but Vince Cornella when healthy is too notch. Not only is he a junior bronze medalist but he bonused his way through EIWAs as a freshman. He last in tie breaker to Lachlan at ncaas who took 3rd . Then on back side he was destroying Swiderski 8-0 with 5 minutes of riding time before getting cement mixed and stuck with seconds left. His sophomore year he tore an acl during the Edmond match and still won. He couldn’t make it through Confernces though and was out all this past season: Talking about a guy who best Koderhandt 15-2 though. I like him to win the 141 spot. As far as Greg D, he did beat Milani last year. It was close but I believe that was just out of familiarity. Greg is far superior. If he can stay healthy, and that’s a huge if,,he is a podium threat. Started out 9-0 last year before injuring his neck and being done for year.
  19. He got injured at CKLV in the Cory Land match. He never returned after that. Grey didn’t feel the need to inform or update any fans on the starting lineup this year at all so we were all pretty clueless all year. He was said to be coming back and would be at 125 lbs. This went on and on for the entire month of Feb but he obviously never made it back. He will be back next year, we will see. I know that the entire 2025 class they have coming in which includes 8 guys in the top 53 of the big board, are all grey shirting next year: By the way, watch out for Jaxon Joy next year at 149. He had to earn the spot over Ethan Fernandez but I believe he will. For his Grey shirt year this year as a true freshman he went 31-1 with 4 falls, 16 techs, and 6 majors (2 inj def) and had a bonus rate of 85%. He had 7 open tournament titles. He also had 5 wins over NCAA qualifiers, 2 of them techs, 3 majors. He vastly improved from his senior year of high school (which he was already a high caliber guy in HS).
  20. Both Josh Saunders and Greg Diakomihalis will be back at Cornell next year and both are eligible to wrestle for Cornell
  21. Hey guys I didn’t realize that I had the link to the spreadsheet locked my bad. I made it now so where anyone with the link can open it so feel free to check it out. I will add the dominance score in as well. The link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12wFsDSZc3ZHi3V-gM7_yNETy1S9KgZV6kmb4zyXe7vI/edit?usp=drivesdk if anyone can’t get in let me know
  22. This is incredible, thank you!
  23. Thx guys, glad I could help. I really have been appreciative of all the great stats and conversation in these forums on intermat. Only wish would have started sooner!
  24. I agree, Rob Koll is the man and has always treated me great and anyone else I have known that has crossed paths with him. From what I could tell, it was more about how the Ivies handled Covid than it was about what Stanford had to offer. In other words, Stanford didn’t exactly pull him away from Cornell. Has the Ivies not decided to go ahead and cancel the 2021 season, I don’t believe Koll would have left at the time. I can’t even speculate if he would have left Cornell when UNC opened up. But to leave Cornell for Stanford…all about the Ivy league covid crap. He had just lost the Dean family to Penn St and I don’t think he even blamed them as at that point there was no light at the end of the tunnel on when sports would presume for Ivy league teams. The updated Freidman Center that he was the master of fundraising for and even was heavily involved with the blue prints and such was just finishing up. He was there for its first ever dual but it was on the Stanford side of the bench. He has the Friedman center and even with Ncaa finalist Max Dean choosing to go to Penn St, and brother Gabe Dean with RTC (which he soon after retired) Rob still had a lineup which included 2 years left of Yianni Diakomihalis who had won as a true freshman and true sophomore and was a pushout with 10 seconds left to JO away from making Olympic team. He had 3 years left of Vito Arujau. He had the 4 jersey boys coming in for their freshman year (Foca, Cardenas, Ramirez, Fernandes). Mike Grey was left a couple of trophy teams. So things were really good in Cornell and no way he was leaving all of that if not for his frustrations with IVY.
