Re: 2024-2025 Lineup

Yes....but Key does that to a lot of guys. It's actually how he made the podium in KC ... winning the close ones.

Re: 2024-2025 Lineup

Agree with assessment of Stanich deferring next year. Sheldon Seymour is a warrior and hopefully he steps up to the AA level next year. Crookham will be back at 133 and pre-seaosn ranked #1. Malyke Hines, in my view, did not exhibit any 'fire' in his wrestling this year....as in none. Maybe they sit...

Over-Coaching?

Not sure what Teemer was thinking during his final with Levi Haines. Can’t believe he came up with that strategy on his own. More likely Zeke authored that bout management plan. It made zero sense. Teemer is an explosive guy and he never engaged. Gotta think it was a case of over-coaching. First tim...

Great year

Unequivocally an outstanding year for the Brown & White. Dual-wise, Midlands-wise, EIWA and NCAA. Three AAs is great any year. Period. The end. Any expectations to the contrary based on seeds is really ill-advised. Seeds are guides. Educated estimates. Taylor wrestled well. He ran into a 4X AA i...

Re: NCAA Championships Day 3 Session 5 Medal Round

With all due respect to jda …… Beard’s knee wasn’t an issue while he was racking up TFs to lead the nation since the original strain. It’s obvious it worsened to the point he had very limited mobility. Nothing to due with seeding. Top 12 all capable. Let’s not make excuses for a warrior like Michael...

Re: NCAA Championships Day 2 Session 4... THE BLOOD ROUND

People have been sort of complaining about 125 all year with so many guys being ranked #1 then dropping back. To me, that's way more interesting than having one dominant guy. 125 was a blast to follow. IMO.

Re: Scared Money Don't Make No Money

Stanich really came on as the day progressed. Solid performance. Crookham may have been scouted but he was extremely tentative which is out of character leading me to believe he is protecting some kind of injury. Beard definitely injured. Tough hombre who might have MFF out once he won in the blood ...

Re: NCAA Championships Day 2 Session 3

Seriously now, coming in -- did anyone really believe 'The Little 4' would advance? Whatever W's happened would've been total gravy. I thought maybe Hines and Max would win 1 cons bout. Oh well. 'The Big 4' is where we all knew our hopes rested. With #2 Stanich going down -- that stung -- but really...

Re: NCAA Championships Day 1 Session 2

In my opinion all of Lehigh's quarterfinal matches are toss ups. Crookham vs. Bailey: this is a bad style match up for Ryan, Bailey is quick as a cat. Beard vs. Elam: stay off bottom, Elam is a tough rider. Taylor vs. Schultz: at some point Nathan will have to commit to a shot...high risk, high rew...

Re: NCAA Championships Day 1 Session 1

Agree. Strategy was poor. Execution was poor. But he won. Whew!
