Expand It was not about who he had a win over in senior freestyle, it was about the kind of wrestler he is. Brooks can wrestle a blistering pace to the final second. Zahid can't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t rack up massive bonus but his wins over Hidlay and Keckeisen should have raised eyebrows. Neither came anywhere close to scoring on him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Expand Brooks Freestyle hype is from his time spent at Colorado Springs. He was the talk of the town. His results in college so far had nothing to do with folks saying he was going to close the gap and eventually surpass more seasoned wrestlers. 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Zahid not having a gas tank is part of the sport. Brooks has a huge gas tank. I would have been surprised had Zahid been able to survive and win that match.

Pinnacle Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) You have to start looking not just for past results. Especially with Cael's guys. Look at their progression.

SocraTease Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Brooks and DT must know he each other pretty darn well. It's still a very big uphill climb to beat Taylor twice. Taylor competes next weekend in Pan Ams so we will see what kind of shape he is in soon. Brooks just came off a long folk season so he is still obviously in shape.

pokemonster Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I wonder how Brooks / DT goes down. Might take the Yazdani underhook to pushout approach, but doubt he'll gas like Yazdani did. Not sure Brooks has the hp of Yazdani at this point though, he wasn't able to move Zahid much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so refreshing to see them looking and moving moving like 74s - Parris nearly ripped his legs off with the laces at the end of the first. By my count the Hendrickson/Bradley match and Parris/Hendrickson combined for 40 points and 12 abs (Dom Bradley did not contribute to this project). 1 1 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
