There is also something to be said for competing... 100%. But there's also something to be said for NOT being ground down by the grueling college schedule. I think he's likely to be a bit rusty, but unchallenged at first (I say this not having looked at the schedule, so I'm not totally sure about this) outside of the dual with Penn State, and fine by the time NCAAs gets around. Is that enough to beat Brooks? Yes, because Brooks has lost to worse wrestlers, but Brooks is also the rightful favorite. Basically, there a ton of variables and. I think people overestimate their abilities to account for those variables and how they will affect individuals.

I agree brother. More threads equal more nonsense though. When your handle is @The_KC_Godfather you should expect a bit of, 'shit talkin.' No offense intended. Happy New Year.

If you are going to be surly I'm going to have to point out the obvious. A) we all want to know that B) if any of us knew it would be public knowledge instantly.

BAC Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 On 12/29/2023 at 2:06 PM, VakAttack said: I think you're underselling Ferrari hugely. Firstly, on the OTT stuff, Ferrari was wrestling 97kg, which is significantly bigger than his college weight. Brooks has been competing at 86 kg, which is much closer to his college weight. He was a true freshman NCAA champ at 197 lbs, which I think is a first. He's a year YOUNGER than Brooks. You're assuming regression, whereas I think stagnation is far more likely, but even then, you're basing that in lack of competition, but the Ferraris were notorious for not competing much. I think he's clearly a threat to Brooks. I wish he wasn't wrestling for Iowa, but I think you're crazy for dismissing him. I'm picking Brooks, though. When Vak is defending him, you *know* the whole "AJ-to-Iowa" thing must be a done deal... J/K. I don't think I'm "dismissing" him though. Just suggesting that his hype outstrips his accomplishments and ignores what's happened since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
