Honestly? With how much he dominated and how he dominated? Yes. He struggled at 141 in his lone match against another true frosh who he would have destroyed two years ago at the same weight (126/132). I hope I am wrong, but he hasn't physically grown despite getting larger for 2-3 years (Bouzakis and Chittum both, actually).

Also, perhaps someone more intimate with the process can explain... What the hell happened at 63 KG? Because UWW decided to not hold the tournament for 63 KG every Western Hemisphere country can now only send nine wrestlers maximum? They are allowing the 63 KG guys who did enter to have qualified the weight for their country, however there is a max weight class entry limitation of nine (9) per country now and only for the Western Hemisphere?

Yeah that would have been cool/funny as all hell. The rules do state that once they accept the Final X bid they cannot enter the Open or WTT, though.

I have said it a few times now in a few different threads, but I think he is a smaller version of Taylor Massa or (new addition from me) Justin Zeerip. Two phenomenal recruits that wrestled high school with a physical size, strength, and power advantage over every wrestler they ever met. When the skill gaps are so large, it looks almost as if they aren't interested in being there. When they got to college they immediately found out that most of the guys they were wrestling were able to go toe to toe and even best them in the physical department and their skill was higher, so they struggled. Chittum struggled against 149lbers with the limited sample he had. He will struggle even more so with 157lbers. Now, I am a big fan of Zeerip and Massa, I don't want this to be mistaken for ridicule. They are inspirational stores and both are succeeding at life. Zeerip and his brother Collin are Co-Head Coaches at Whitehall, MI (Ira Jenkins of Michigan is from there).

As an aside and on a more serious note... Chittum wasn't even the 2nd best 149 or 157 gent in the Minnesota room. So I suppose it is fair to assume that if nobody from Minny enters B1Gs or NCAAs then he is the favorite, right?

It's Friday, so I can safely say this with confidence: You won the week.

That cunt (Leonard) is the reason Woodley wasn't able to wrestle last year at Michigan.

My apologies. I concede.

I have about one bold prediction per shit.

Four timer. ASU as well.

Shit. I concede, damn it!

Not possible. My reflexes are too fast. If he wrestles he wins. How many total wrestlers wrestled in the last five seasons? 5000? 5 / 5000 = 0.1% If he wrestles there is ~99.9% chance he wins.

Dan Gable is not Wrestlestat Era. Don't count. See below on Spencer. Spencer Lee had zero knees. The hindsight is there. He quit last year because he was too hurt and didn't get enough healtime after what would have been career ending surgery for >99% of the rest of the NCAA fields. Don't count. Zahid Valencia loved cocaine. He didn't lose at Natties. Don't count. Cenzo lost to Covid and never got his 4th shot. Don't count. You predicting Parrisdaddy pisses hot for WWE roids or has some sort of career ending injury? If so, then all the others you can't count can be counted.

He won't be. If he competes next year he is a 3xer.

Wait. I want NIL for being here...!

I heard he will only consider himself a package deal with Rowley to Iowa for ~$125k each per year plus bonus per whole point at NCAAs.

Nah. That guy is a fukcing loon.

Deal.

The guy must feel an irrevocable giant weight on his shoulders. I also leave the heavy maths liftings to Wkn.

I win either way. I don't mind putting money back in to wrestling.

I will bet you on it now. IF Amine and Starocci meet in the NCAA Finals OR B1G Finals next season, Amine wins at least one of them. Name the price you wish to bet and what RTC/charity you wish to bet for. If(when) I win, you can pay CKWC in Ann Arbor.

Same team. Still counts.

To be fair be was a 67% 2xer and not a 50% or 40% 2xer.

He looked the same his Senior year. The rules changed. Had he had to wrestle by the same rules as his Senior season during his two title years he would have been a 0xer. They added danger rule and it absolutely fukced him over.

I did mean that. I am a big fan of the kid (Lamer).
