Amine, who was heavier than Truax at NCAAs, was dwarfed by him. He also was considerably larger than Nino. He was not small at 197. I think you are grossly overestimating most 197lbers actual sizes.

Your post ignores a lot of common logic/knowledge. Ever hear of David Taylor, for example? Try googling him. It might clarify the reasoning as to why he is not beating these Worlds/Olympics medalists at Worlds or the Olympics.

You could split this in to eras. John Smith/Dave Schultz could be the end of one Era or the beginning of the next. Wrestling Pre-1991 and after were quite different.

He is upwards over 230 right now. You think he wants to shrink back down to 197 and risk lowering his deadlift?

My takes on your OP in BOLD UNDERLINE. My opinion is that their peak performance team would be Brands dropping to 157 and Arnold at 174. Chittum just has not impressed in a couple of years. He reminds me of a smaller version of Taylor Massa. He dominated so easily for so long until he got big and ran in to some other strong kids who also were good. I am okay being wrong. I do think that the better Iowa is, the better the state of wrestling in the USofA.

Per Minnow, 141 is where Cannon wants to go? I, personally, wouldn't mind Ragusin or Cannon going up. It's a PUSH to me.

Also, McHenry is in the portal (unfortunately). https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6131952-kurt-mchenry-releases-top-5-schools-list His top five, in alphabetical order, was Cornell, Michigan, North Carolina, Penn State, and Stanford. Cornell - Ungar, Edge Ungar - Diakomihalis, Edge Diakomihalis - If healthy - Milani (RS?), Edge McHenry Michigan - DeAugustino, Edge DeUagustino - If healthy - McHenry, PUSH - Horwath, Edge Horwath (Very high on this guy) North Carolina - Moore, Edge McHenry - Hunt, Edge McHenry - Guanajuato/Tocci (RS?), Edge McHenry Penn State - Howard, Edge Howard - If healthy - Steen, Edge McHenry - Davis (RS?), Edge Davis (Very high on this guy) Stanford - Provo, PUSH (Provo has three years left, so edge him?) - Richter, Edge McHenry - Chundi, Edge McHenry I think, if he is looking at the same five again the more likely options are North Carolina to start or Penn State as a security blanket (as in he doesn't expect to start). Before you say "Oh but he is leaving Michigan because he is being recruited over." That may be true, that doesn't mean he expects to start wherever he goes or ends up. It means he wants a fair chance to prove himself, and he might be able to do that with Penn State. Doubt it, but possible. All this said, we could see him go the Decatur route and dominate D2 (to be clear - he would dominate D2). He could also go the MAC/SOCON route and I think he would do excellent there. In any case, I hope he does well and ends up winning some matches at NCAAs the next year or two.

So now he is quoting me, a deplorable?

I think something else is in order, yes... Gold - Bye to Best of Three. Medalist (including Gold from a different weight) - Bye to Semifinals if the Challenge Tournament.

Also, gents... Cannon has two years left of eligibility.

Woodley was there this year but couldn't work something out with his transfer. He even completed his alpha. He had mentioned he was trying to get some sort of waiver, but I doubt it. Walters will still get five (5) goes at varsity action, much like Rogers. I am happy to hear that about Jenkins. He weighed in at 221 at the only tournament he wrestled this season so I hope he is on that Parris plan.

I lied. He is seeded 3rd. Johnny D is seeded 2nd. Rivera is seeded 1st. Gomez is unseeded.

He is and he is unseeded.

Mike Macch, the confirmed nicest person alive, agreed wholeheartedly.

If done right only 90 seconds is all some guys need when they're on their knees...

It would even then be conceivable that they win zero with their best shot being 125 between DeAuggie and Howard, which was a 4-2 match fot DeAuggie two years ago.

Trying to impugn @TwoPointsTakeDown84's credibility doesn't bolster your argument.

Shhhh... we aren't allowed to praise Penn State here otherwise the Karenfolk will freak out.

I troll all the time. I am also wrong all the time. I don't care admitting to it, though. That is the problem with those hair product prioritizing whipper-snappers. No priority to holding themselves accountable. I saw a video the other day that reminded me of Minnow... which disappointed the shit out of me because that means he isn't paying rent but he's up there for free (at least in this instance)...

IIRC Focus got nailed for it against Honis twice last time he (Focus) wrestled the senior level.

So stay away from OSU campus is what you're saying, then? My sissy might show?

Buchanan might not be needed if the Woodley thing works itself out.

I honestly don't know if I would call any of those gents off that 1-11 squad a loss. Neon's last Jackson State squad would have beaten Colorado straight up and he us bringing a lot of the key pieces with as well as some other high profile incoming transfers.

Wait! Has anybody checked on Minnow?! He was saying if Nagao went to PSU then Cannon to Rutgers was a done deal. Someone give him a call, please. He might need it.
