Ferrari v Brooks at 197


Fletcher

Recommended Posts

Rumor is Brooks moving to 197 with Truax dropping to 184. If someone picks up AJ, we've got two former champs at 197 next season.

 Who you got and why? Both devout Christians, so I expect Jesus will stay out of it and not play favorites.

Oh, I'm pretty sure Jesus has a favorite in this one!

I would usually favor the incumbent champ, Ferrari, but with all of his legal troubles (felony criminal trial) even if Iowa throws a huge bag of money at him he will be distracted, wrestling only a partial season, and may have some rust on the Ferrari.

So given all that I favor Brooks, despite his comparatively puny deadlift max.

How tall is Brooks?  Wondering how he fills out 197.  Of course, his talent may overcome some of that.

He isn't that tall.  He is thick, strong, and fast.  He will be short for 197.

I mean, shit... Dean was a short 197lber and he has a couple inches on Brooks.

They're the same height.

He's around 5'10" maybe slightly under 5'11".  Also,  when did Aj Ferrari become a giant?  He's barely 6 feet tall

I think I would take Ferrari. Myles Amine is likely the only common opponent. 

Can never understand why people use a common opponent as a metric to predict an outcome in any sport.  Maybe a fun project for @Wrestleknownothing compile data and show us how inaccurate of a predictor it is

While common opponents do not paint a whole picture, they can/should be used as a metric for evaluating an athlete.

I am not asking about Ferrari, we've seen how he's filled out 197.

Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.

Apologies.  Didn't claim you were.  Am getting ahead of the conversation about Brooks' size with the inevitable "is he big enough" when Ferrari himself is an undersized 197 pounder

I'd lay a bet that common opponent, total points scored, bonus point rate are all bad metrics in determining the victor between two elite opponents that have never wrestled.  My fellow PSU fanatics made that same terrible mistake when I kept telling them Dake was going to beat Taylor.  I know points scored are "sexy" but they're too overvalued

AJ Ferrari is now considered an undersized 197 pounder? In what universe?

AJ is  under 6' tall with the wingspan of a midget.  He's undersized.  Go watch his matches if you dont believe me
