Mendez is good but he ain’t RBY. Love your enthusiasm though!

When is the last time Kerk only won via decision over Orndorff?  I believe he’s majored him 3x.

Yeah, but Orndorff is closing the gap.

This may be beating a dead horse, but for Ohio State this may be a good opportunity for them to use one of Feldmans 5 matches just to see where he stands with one of the best at the weight class.

Feldman isn't wrestling this season. Kerk would have his way with him. There is no upside.

I believe Feldman is also dealing with injuries so this is not in the cards.

Correct.

So you are saying this is not a concrete prediction?

Sounds good.  May the best wrestler win.

I would have to say that the UVU transfers to the Big 10 don't seem to be panning out. @MPhillips you have probably been more in tune with Orndorff. Thoughts?

[Action]

Mendez beats RBY the day that Marco Vespa cradles Spencer Lee.

Orndorff did AA for tOSU in 2021 and was R12 last year with a brutal draw losing to Kerk and Parris.

He's also been dealing with some injuries. FWIW he is 9-3 on the season, although no quality wins. He pulled off two or three assassins to start the season. So I started calling him Orndorff The Assassin. I probably jinxed him.

[Pinnacle]

Mendez is a tremendous talent who looks capable of winning a natty title or two b4 he is done, and that seat belt position to chin whip he put on Lucas Byrd early this year is about as slick a td as a freshman will get. Just not this year because Arujau, Fix and RBY are in the way.

This is like those "Zahid will beat Taylor" takes from TheMat.

Was that you, too, FlyingCement?

No.  That was his cousin, Portland Cement.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

sheesh. Some people take other people picking against their team/favorite wrestlers far too seriously. God forbid someone makes a spicy prediction and stimulates interesting discussion. 

[buckshot]

Every dual everybody picks PSU to lose every tossup as well as one match they couldn’t lose on their worst day. I never understand how everybody can be wrong every time and still use the same stupid logic.
