Ron Artest is in the stands

Latrell Sprewell rejected a deal because it was "insulting"

His insta post was even more cringe. Do you know how hard it is to be on the side of Pyles? Makes me want to throw up in my mouth.

It's just semantics. He won't be after March when he finishes his first season at 197 in the finals against Brooks.

Hard to not gas when you're cutting 30 pounds because there is not a UWW equivalent. But hey, thank goodness for all the little man weights!

The cult of QuackAnon

Taylor's junior year when he took the Dake losses was also a masterclass: 30-3 record including the All Star Classic 14 pins + 10 techs + 5 majors and only ONE decision = 87.7% bonus rate despite three losses. If you replace Dake with that year's third place Tyler Caldwell, who Taylor majored 10-0, then it is very reasonable to assume that Taylor would have finished the year 33-0 with only a single decision for a bonus rate of 96.9%. Only a multiple time world champion and world/olympic medalist could stand up to the folkstyle force of what Taylor had transcended to. NCAA summary of Taylor by season since Wrestlestat didn't exist yet.

In the moment that felt true, but looking back did Martin stumble or did he happen to run into a better wrestler with the context we now have about Dean's pedigree?

RBY pulled his best Jon Snow impression that day

Being optimistic, about a snowball's chance in hell. But that's why they wrestle the matches - just ask Frank Molinaro!

Methinks Davison is about to welcome Feldman to the B1G leagues

He was pulling your leg lol. He won Fargo and was a cadet world team member

I'm going to cry if he makes it to the olympic gold medal match because I already know what's going to happen

Yes redshirting and fingers crossed they show out soon. If Beard can handle three days of cutting he will be a force at NCAAs. He is a prime example of why a 97kg equivalent weight class should exist at the NCAA level. I think he beats Buchanan at a dual or on Thursday night but Saturday/ Sunday morning is going to be a very different match.

His loss on the winner's side last year was to the greco world team rep fwiw* *It's not worth anything I just wanted to shout out Braunagel and the Illinois program

Your dukes, put them up sir.

People talking about getting broken by their coaches frosh year being stuck underneath... Nothing more humbling than being invited to work out with college guys while you're still in high school and catching a beating. Not everyone is Bo Bassett or Cary Kolat and your ego drops 1,000 points leaving you questioning if you ever want to wrestle again REAL quick. Take a guess how I very quickly learned humility and found out I wasn't a special snowflake

Wrong and wrong Whisky Try a good single malt it will change your life. Johnny and its' ilk is for noobs and rubes. This is a hill I am willing to die on, on the college board no less.

Ahh gotcha I missed that and flew right over my head. I will say though, he is very dynamic and has that eastern bloc "lull you to sleep then electricity bursts" style that consistently brings homes medals.

Also impressive results from Valencia, Hall (lost to a medal match gatekeeper), Mike Mach (showed why weight classes exist), and Hillger at his first international showing. Oh and nice to see Zillmer back and healthy!

DeShazer teched Cruz who has gone as far as quarters at worlds in '22. And it was RBYs first fair test down at 57. I wouldn't read too much one way or the other but it was an overall positive result. Micic has proven that an oversized *folkstyle 57 can be a hammer on the global scene if they can overcome the cut.

Yes it is an unwritten rule when high-caliber refs are involved. The thought process is that if it remains low scoring then they will not lose on criteria. Non-high caliber refs and it's a crapshoot if you're lucky.

whoosh

Now THIS is a spicy hot take! True dark horse imo
