Expand I don't think he can go 149. This said, a depleted version of him is much better than Mayora (all due respects). Mayora could contend for a MAC title in 2025 or 2026. He'll never contend in the B1G. I would prefer Kim up at 149 and he would be drastically undersized. Also, Michigan has two prospects that are 2-3 years younger in Mantanona and Gilcher coming in with another (slightly smaller) Mantanona comping in the following year. Add in that Joel Adams will be a factor in a year (or two depending on how he manages Oly-shirt and Redshirt and Gap year stuffs), and I don't know if Chittum would even have a seat at the table. We have seen consistent improvement from the Mantanonas and Gilcher and Adams and they are younger. Chittum seems to have plateaued off after he bumped up from 145 to 160 and beat Valencia. I do wish him the best. Nobody deserves the toxic effect that is the Focus family. That said, this is his second college he committed to without wrestling a minute, proper, in their singlet(s). Perhaps it isn't just the Iowa or Minnesota cultures and his personal code isn't of a well enough standard to succeed at the D1 level, which is fine - let him focus Freestyle and wrestle for CKWC.

Great that Loch Haven and Moore stuck with him and played a part in his overcoming personal problems to become a success.... something that didn't happen at Ok State. A mid-level (if that) school where kids can still succeed....imagine that. My point being (as a response to another comment), don't diss on the Mid-low level programs like the Rutgers and Loch Havens where kids can still be successful. In the day and age of NIL and the focus being Iowa vs PSU ... It just makes me a bigger fan of the mid-tier programs. 2 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The correlation I hate using, but seems apt save for one or two things is Peyton Omania of Michigan State. Omania isn't nearly as athletic or good at the fundamentals of Greco nor Folkstyle as Joel Adams. He does have hips like Demas, though, which always gave him a puncher's chance. Adams isn't going to need a puncher's chance with the coaching staff and resources at UofM. There are several high schools in their area with better rooms than Michigan State FTSOF.

They use periodized training with build, rest, recovery and peak periods built in. When every day is Iowa-style full bore, no day is truly a maximum, best effort. The athlete is still struggling to get over previous days/weeks/months of practice and associated accumulation of fatigue.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got in his feelings over something stupid Expand Again... if yourself or your son were put in to a hostile environment with someone who has pending 'potential' charges for gun related threats against them would you not protect you and/or your offspring? This isn't even adding in the fact that he was actively driving up and down their road while issuing the supposed threats. You are choosing a very stupid hill to die on, especially since that Focus brother likely wasn't seeing any starting time in the lineup any time soon. I mean.. didn't he choose to not wrestle his last year in high school because he couldn't beat the guy in the starting lineup and he didn't want to go up or down? This is the guy you are defending? Edit: ADDITIONALLY... he (Anthony) didn't even get accepted in to Iowa. He didn't meet criteria to be allowed in to a school that PD3 was allowed in to FFS.
