  1. Strength and conditioning should be Brooks' edge. He had the better gas tank last year and should absolutely test Taylor... push pace, heavy hands, hard snaps, pressure, push, look for the blast double like last time. I still think DT may need to shake off some rust and will use his length and ties to slow it to a chess match but Brooks should play to his own strengths.
  2. Thanks. I was wondering what the relevance of the Dynamo Club was. Is Sidakov next? Isn't he higher up the Russian military ranks than Sadz?
  3. *OTT NBC Sports/Peacock has the broadcast rights
  4. No argument there. US-based wrestlers competing for other countries is also a sign of success like we see in Russia, as you alluded to. Didn't Bimeh Razialso recruit JB and Helen Maroulis to wrestle for Iran at a Clubs Cup one year?
  5. Are Scotti Sentes and Mitch Hancock in the discussion at all, or nah?
  6. It would be nice for the conferences to make geographical sense for wrestling. WVU in the Big 12, Stanford in the ACC, UALR in the Pac, etc. stick out like sore thumbs.
  7. Yep. I meant it's not a good look for Gomez to run away from the challenge tournament and then taunting the field for battling it out
  8. Asian Championships are 4/11-16 and the OG Qualifier 19-21. Are they running it like our Pan Am Continental where wrestlers might step on the mat and FF just to compete at the qualifier? Also are we expecting to Matt Ramos there?
  9. Kind of a weird flex to duck literally the entire national competition and then make fun of them for... not ducking the entire national competition
  10. It's just weird that Bo hangs out in the PSU room and tries so hard to remain relevant in college wrestling. He's like the old guy in Dazed and Confused who hangs out with high school kids.
  11. I wonder how his weight management is going. If he doesn't win OTTs, making the World or even U23 team at a tweener weight in an Oly year will be an attractive option
  12. He wrestled soft(er) competition at bunch of the Euro Grand Prixes and DNP in one, lost in the Club Cup duals. I remember ppl going "wtf happened to Taylor?" he didn't look anything like the 86DT we see today.
  13. I'm not sure how it would help wrestling for 70%+ of AAs and majority of the field to come from just two conferences?
  14. Probably around 9:30 or 10pm? Just a guess. Challenge tournament finals starts at 7:30pm and they're doing all 18 weights. I assume they'll do the 3 styles concurrently.
  15. JB is playing with house money right now and isn't scared of anyone or anything. He wants to be our Oly rep ofc, but I'm sure he realizes he's in the gravy phase of his career.
  16. Taylor wasn't exactly new to FS, he was a cadet and junior world team member. It was the weight bump. Taylor looked like garbage his first year after bulking up to 86kg.
  17. Yeah, I think Davis was originally projected as a 133 when he committed. Nagao could get squeezed out of the lineup if LL or Kasak don't want to RS.
