  1. are you counting money as influence? Those days are gone, money is baked in.
  2. No the worst case is the program gets dropped, and sincee there is no way of turning in any real results as a team, its best if the admins at least think you have a bunch of pleasant guys who make grades and stay out of trouble. They're pretty close to the floor but it doesn't change the fact that if they are bringing in guys who make building culture impossible you are at best robbing peter to pay paul.
  3. Letting us know the first thought of a bitter whiner with no creativity isn't necessary.
  4. I think they optimize really well, but at the expense of shrinking the style in general. Teemer at Iowa might be interesting. Iowa is a very different dynamic. All the holes seem plugged, solid everywhere, everyone is a pretty difficult out.....all the elite skills seem to have been their in high school.
  5. didnt mean to imply, though i did
  6. the way jones coaches has a ceiling. for the most part they recruit athletic guys, and turn them into snakey type guys with overtie shrugs and shots from space that they are way too patient with. I assume the philosophy is something like "we should be coaching at the same tactical level as a world title match", but that means you think of every match as a chess match, limiting action and therefore development, and neglecting the physicality which is more inherent to folk than free.
  7. The fact that they are terrible at wrestling doesn't mean the locker room can't get a lot more toxic. Particularly since building culture gets real difficult if you can't hold the only talent on the team to the rules that need to be imposed on everyone else.
  8. john smith said it in an interview. You can say grain of salt, but he's a pretty straight shooter.
  9. i doubt they all knew, if any. and as secretive as that program is I bet the pieces for concealing the info were already in place as a normalcy.
  10. it would for taylor right? then again he did sabotage the team by feeding his spot to pay downey when we could have sent nickal....
  11. its possible, I've heard Ferrari is a great teammate, but if he's not and it turns out they are just dropping in two narcissistic criminals it will absolutely get worse.
  12. You give them the benefit of the doubt a bit more cause they're getting paid though. Its not a great benefit of the doubt, but i try not to be cynical about money. Compare that to two guys who were getting money and slid down to a team with none...
  13. this is his second transfer right? He must be a bit of a handful. If him and ferrari don't get along thats gonna be a really toxic locker room.
  14. he is on there fairly recently doing 585 x 6, which would indicate appropriate improvement for an advanced lifter.
  15. The longer it takes the less likely it is that he'll decline. He tacitly accepted by winning the tournament, if he backed out after taking his time with the decision that would show a lot of disrespect for the team. Plus Zahid is probably caught in a snow storm and needs all the time he can get to get out of it and ready for a tournament.
  16. Turley from Rutgers despite having placed before has likely reclaimed darkhorse status
  17. once you start talking about peak's you're in gable territory.
  18. yeah and it stemmed from heinselman slapping angelo in the back of the head or something. We tend to blame the ferrari but he did it all on film (because it was in front of a head table) and as a HWT college guy to a middle weight high schooler.
  19. probably stung by bees
  20. he can afford ozempic (265 btw, he doesn't have college eligibility right?)
  21. i was gonna say he could wait and make a big splash at WTT....but you're right he should be trying to plug into RTC money right away. My only guess is he doesn't feel like getting back into training yet.
  22. Oh the fat idiot from oklahoma? Yeah he's like ferrari but not entertaining.
  23. you don't have to add the "artist rendition" comment.
  24. Why HWT? I was thinking about cardenas, what am I missing?
