Portal is closed, gents. Closed Saturday.

The time you are indicating is Retherford and Johnny D, which was a 1 V 2 not a 2 V 4. Irrelevant. The rules on how to make the team (#1-4) were clearly stated last fall. Zahid chose not to even wrestle for #3. He earned #4, not #3 and especially not #2. I also think he was cheated out of beating Brooks, just so that is also clear. Just because I believe he would have beaten Thicclay doesn't mean he did. He didn't. In fact, Thicclay took the mat in the Zahid - Thicclay match and had his hand raised.

It isn't my opinion. It is what they have both said over and over and over.

Cael and DT aren't nearly as successful without Cunningham and all the top recruits know that.

OSU and Mizzou have a slew of age level world medalists for him to train with. Not advocating for either of them, just saying that the stable there is also quite full.

Selfridge Air National Guard Base is basically the same distance from Ann Arbor as Vance is from Stillwater.

To be clear I would have also advocated for Mesenbrink to challenge Dake at 74 KG, for Moore to challenge Snyder, and Gwiazdowski to challenge Parris if put in the same scenarios where the gent sitting out had lost, but they didn't. That said, Zahid doesn't have a fart's chance in a shit storm here. He lost that right when he decided to not actually wrestle back, which Thicclay did.

Michigan also has Olympian Adam Coon in-house as well.

The only case he would have is IF Trent Thicclay turned down the opportunity to wrestle DT off for the spot (if they even had a 'special' special wrestleoff). Zahid has no case for #2. He is #4. That isn't how it works - he couldn't just leapfrog #3. He chose to not wrestle for #3 and now he thinks he can choose to wrestle for #2? GTFOH. Now if you said that Thicclay should 'sue' for the shot to wrestle DT, then yes. I would agree with you there. Zahid decided that wrestling was too tough for him and didn't wrestle the matches required to earn the #3 spot.

I fail to see any reasoning as to why Gable would go back to Minnesota. Did he qualify for an Olympic redshirt this last year? If he goes back he surely has to wrestle, right? Unless folks think he will be purely focused on MFS going forward and will go to Minnesota for that (a logical choice, mind you).

Well I sure AF hope they don't use those ones in the promo shoot...

I made myself sad with this when I looked at the 74 KG team... https://www.themat.com/team-usa/national-team

I think both Orange and Maroon looked like dog shite on him.

There are two to three people that you try to get an interview with, no matter what. Cunningham is one of them. DT and JB are likely the other two.

Oh I hear you there, and I absolutely believe he will be a factor wherever he goes... That said... the pitch of "Remember when you decked Davison two NCAAs ago then he beat you to make the Finals this year? Yeah... Michigan coaching did that." could be a pretty damn solid pitch.

It would be really ***ducking** awkward for Zahid to do that being as he isn't even #3 on the ladder. Directly from USA Wrestling:

In any situation... if David Taylor decides he wants to throw his hat in the ring, you do it. If Scott can't take that and lets his feelings get hurt, then he isn't the right guy for the job - regardless of whatever assurances were made. Recruiting alone has the potential to dent PSU's grip on the top. No other hire that could be made at the D1 level could do that.

Having two (potentially three) Olympians to train with will be difficult for Minny to contend with... I believe he went in thinking Mizzou was the front-runners. I think the only one that can trump that is the school that keeps beating him, and I don't mean Penn State... I mean Michigan.

https://uww.org/athletes/palacio-pintado-dylan Appears it was the OGQ. I had my thinking backwards, my apologies.

He was entered, but never took the mat. I don't know if he weighed in or was even on location at the time, though.

Or you could just hold yourself accountable for your own actions(words), albeit it is on a Bulletin Board System (BBS). Oh wait... you're being a troll - never mind then. Trolls don't do that. It is actually a defining characteristic in their Pillars of Foundation. You could almost call it a code of honor, or creed. The Troll's Creed.

How did USSR do in the 1984? ----------------------------------- The rest isn't a direct response to you, my friend, but a generalized statement: Evil is evil, it doesn't matter what color it is painted. We can make this political and say that it is dumb that they are not being allowed, albeit by whomever. To ignore that Israel is doing comparable things to a peoples that Russia is also doing is a biased approach to viewing it. I wish Russia would stop. I also wish Israel would stop. It is okay to want both and not be a ***ducking** idiot. If the IOC had balls (they don't), they wouldn't allow a single nation (or it's competitors) that has active military personnel currently deployed in wartime exercises/missions. Yes that means both Russia and Ukraine would not be allowed, as well as Israel. Seems a shitty take to me, but I am having difficulty saying one country's actions are bad and another country's are not when evil is evil is evil.

Can you please point to the doll where the Bag hurt you, please?

No guarantee that he does leave, fwiw.

They just picked up a guy who beat him this last season.
