    Every school is different. My experience is at a D1 mid major. The coach there tried to get 3-4 wrestlers on 100% full rides, and distribute the rest to make up the lineup. I imagine a team like Iowa or PSU giving out a 100% is rare.

    I like this, it seems more fair. Right now the coin flip winner gets a pretty big advantage. Just think how big the flip is for Iowa this weekend to get to choose 133.

    That would be a problem if Spencer was any type of normal wrestler. But he regularly techs or pins top 20 opponents in 3-4 minutes and has even won NCAAs with blown ACL. There is no reason to think that a 60% Spencer wouldn’t pin/tech Terukina.

    Lots of competitive weights which will make for an extremely exciting dual. ISU’s chances hinge greatly on Spencer Lee. If Lee wrestles, ISU’s chances are extremely slim. If he’s out this dual is a toss up.

    Siebrecht wins with the ole high school JV roll through

    Agree. Still had that leg and they usually do not call it in that situation.

    I don’t think anyone disregards mindset. Anyone who knows anything about wrestling knows that mentality is as important if not more than physical ability. Mindset, mental toughness, mentality, etc. are not easy for fans to observe. You have to know someone to know their mindset. That is why fans, rightly so imo, focus more on technical/physical analysis.

    Good call. Really makes you think the whole nostalgia over that 149 class is a bit overblown. There are a lot of weights that have 4-5 future champs/finalists in them. Judging how tough a weight is by future placements is really pretty dumb. Why did everyone start thinking this was a good way to look at it?

    Awesome stuff! Thanks for explaining. Very interesting and I think a good way of looking at things. Can you also show the total expected AA in addition to the change? I’m an ISU fan for example and am curious if that change in one more AA moves them from 3 to 4 or 4 to 5 in your calculations.
  11. Crablegs
    How do you get this number? What is 0.1 expected AA? Just curious your method.
  12. Crablegs
    Good wrestlers, but pretty sure no one thought Phil Conigliaro or Cam Amine were winning the title.

    You’re talking about O’Toole never losing another match and how unbelievable he is, but then bragging about the 7th and 8th seeds? Cmon man.
  14. Crablegs
    So in your opinion, Hidlay and Deakin<Wick and Marinelli. Not sure I agree about that.
  15. Crablegs
    It’s very good, and I’m a huge fan of O’Toole. He’s awesome. My only point is that when you’re comparing him and Carr both had had relatively similar careers, so using those stats to somehow make an argument for O’Toole in that specific match up just doesn’t make sense. Both have a Junior world title and a 1st and a 3rd at their two trips to NCAAs. Both of their championship seasons they had over 60% bonus. Splitting hairs between these 2 and I don’t think the stats argue one way or another.
  16. Crablegs
    That may or may not be true, but O’Toole did not have any of those, so it’s really meaningless to this discussion.
  17. Crablegs
    That is correct. 2017 184 had Nickal, Martin, and Dean, but Nickal hadn’t one a title yet heading in. Similar with 2018 125 that had Cruz and NATO as previous champs. Neither of them made the finals losing to future multiple time champs Suriano and Lee. Can’t think of a time there were 3 previous champs in the same NCAA bracket, but I’d think it has happened.
  18. Crablegs
    You are not “essentially a redshirt freshman” if you wrestled a full season, conference, and NCAAs. Lol. That experience is invaluable. Otoole’s bonus was 64% last year. Carr had a higher bonus percentage in his championship season (65%).
  19. Crablegs
    Carr and O’Toole will likely match up 2 times before NCAAs. I think if any of the 65s can run the table they’ll be in the mix for Hodge as all 3 will be 2x champs. If O’Toole is able to beat Carr multiple times and then win NCAAs with Carr and Griffith, I’m giving it to him. He will have a lot of pins and a very strong schedule.

    I’m not sure it is really surprising. Hamiti is a very good wrestler but not a title contender. It went easy TD for O’Toole 15 seconds in and rideout for the rest of the period. More of the same in 2nd and 3rd. Hamiti never close to anything.
  21. Crablegs
    It is possible to work a turn with the ankle hook. Holding an ankle with your hands it is not. End of that silly question.
  22. Crablegs
    Yes and it’s a good opportunity to mimic a real match. Have the guys make weight early in the season and warm up and prepare to wrestle just like it was a dual. The results of wrestle offs are not completely worthless, but they pale in comparison to results against actual competition.
  23. Crablegs
    What exactly is the problem that needs solved?
  24. Crablegs
    Deserves its own thread.

    I’m just curious why there hasn’t been a “big creator” join yet. If the platform is so clearly better, you’d think there has been enough time for one of them to come over. My guess is that the platform is better for monetizing a small, fringe audience. But, it will never work for mass appeal, so no one with a large audience will join. But if you have a small, die hard fan base (like wrestling) you’ll be ok. LOL on the crypto. Hope you’ve been cashing in your RAE and putting it in a savings account.
