Us if OK State does well: Coaching tree, homeboy DT, yay for us.So we get89 medals out of 10 weights. Is that good? 5/5 Lions with hardware. DT’s boys: 0-1. Pay attention recruits.
Us otherwise: We're the best, yay for us.

Well, let's wait and see what the lawyers have to say about that. And in this case, we're talking two firms to choose from!
If they do well, it’s DT’s Cael-imparted knowledge; if they do poorly, blame Kennedy. It’s not like David can fire him, lol.Us if OK State does well: Coaching tree, homeboy DT, yay for us.

I dig this principle. It's a really novel concept, in all of sports. And has definite value.
But not indicating it with an actual change of score is hilariously silly.
And trying to indicate who is winning with an underline underneath one of the tied scores is mindnumbing insanity.
Honestly, I think that part of the reason why USA is the best in the world with conditioning is training for folk is more strenuous. You have to work 'hard' from all three positions.
Free style is a different animal. Neutral is definitely taxing, but Par terre seems to be low energy from bottom and you work hard for a quick gut or lace, and if you can't get it your done, reset.
The pattern is pretty consistent across age groups as well.
I think it helps counter balance the deficit that skills training in two different disciplines creates.

Time limit on injuries (INCLUDING CONCUSSIONS)
UWW just needs to hammer guys more for it. You see it at the senior level. If you're not being treated for an injury - and you don't go back to center - you're getting hit with a caution.
The Eckloff brothers from Northampton I think won 5 State titles using cement jobs taught to them by Don Rohn. Don's nephew Rob Rohn hit the greatest cement job in college. He was losing by more than 10 in 3rd period in NCAA finals when he hit the haymaker.
Quite a memorable final. And even after the cement mixer (he was down 14-3 at the time), it took him quite some time to secure the pin, doing so with 15 sec. left in the 3rd period.
To go from this to winning gold is incredible. This is just a great reminder to never stop fighting. For 13 seconds Luke had to fight off that potential match-ending gut. And considering this was only a Qualifying match there was definitely a chance that Toprak doesn't make the Finals and Luke DNPs. Great job, Luke!
So Jafarli beat Mirasola last year and this year Mirasola blanked him. Maybe they know a thing or two in SC. Both brothers looked good.
Having J'Den Cox dry the guys off brings a smirk to my face. Super glad this warrior is helping the next generation.
Can either of the twins sing?
@zzs006 I didn't see Max's Finals opponent from Russia in your earlier weight breakdown. I checked the UWW site for him. His name is listed, but no results are shown. Was he a late addition for Russia? From his results this tournament he seems to be very good defensively. He is short, stocky and difficult to move around. I also watched some of Khateri's matches. I don't see him having much for Blaze.
I couldn’t find anything on Max’s opponent. A few of these guys were making their international debuts and I think he’s one of them. Russia always has tough kids but I expect Max to win
Khateri is very good but I’ll be shocked if he beats Blaze. I think he just tries to shut everything down and keep it close. Blaze has found offense from par tarre this whole tournament so hopefully he can get a few turns and make Khateri open up in nuetral
Great job by the USA. Very impressive. Congrats to all that got there and competed. Such a great time for USA wrestling.
But see, I think you nailed it. Maybe in Iran and Russia, and elsewhere, feigning injury in freestyle to catch your breath is just as expected as a soccer player pretending his leg is broken, then running off like nothing happened a minute later after the penalty kick. I’m dead serious.
Big board ranking aside, did we get the 1 2 and 3 prospect in Class of 2025?
Will's recent ascension is a lot like Mesenbrink winning silver after graduating and final big boards being release already.
Perhaps Cael's internal unshared big board is the best recruiting ranking of them all!

Fouse (USA) loses her repechage match to Turkiye 10-0 and is eliminated at 68 kg.
