I'm calling it right now. If vega meets mendez he wins
Making excuses for other people is for proxy wussies.
No excuses he's wrestling. He said he needs bigger legs well he couldn't lift legs in the offseason because he was recovering from hip surgery. That's not an excuse on why his legs aren't bigger it's actually a fact
And he wasn’t even calling a recruit?
Delphi: if Vega meets Mendez, a very skilled wrestler will lose.
Totally. That is not an excuse. It is merely the thing that everybody calls an excuse according to the accepted definition of excuse.
Maybe if you quit throwing dollar bills at the TV after each takedown she’d not make that connection!!
speaking of JD he talked about Gabe all he said was he was good,I was thinking good at what?maybe stalling!
No excuses, yet excuses. Lol.
Excuses and facts don’t have the same equivalency in PA that they do in Iowa.
Must be a perk of winning 12 out of 14 while also being the best HS wrestling state in the country.
Lots of positive infinity in that interview!
Ayala is big, good defensively, is crafty enough on top, and he has one really good attack (the slide by) that is not a surprise to anyone anymore, but still dangerous enough to catch an elite guy once in a while. His low single is money against lesser guys, but he doesn’t finish well enough against the top tier.
He is capable of beating anyone if he gets that one slide by and situationally the match breaks right for him. But to say he’s right there is not true anymore. He’ll have to beat 3 guys in a row that are better than him to win a NC. That’s not happening. He might catch one, but he’s not doing even two in a row.
There are 4 guys at least that are clearly better than him at this point. And probably another couple on his level. He’s clearly the next tier down and maybe two tiers down depending on how those top 4 shake out ( none have faced each other yet). That’s not right there unless you are Radar.
He better finish 4th at B1Gs or better, because one slip up to a guy like Fugitt will give him a seed low enough that he’ll likely face one of those guys in the R16 that is as good as him, before he even hits a guy who’s better than him in the quarters.

As I have said repeatedly, Caliendo has maximized his talent. To his credit, by the way. He is not a great athlete. He was held to three points by an otherwise inferior opponent who has more athleticism. Caliendo is the same wrestler I watched as a high school senior in Illinois at Batavia, just more so. He's stronger and has a great gas tank, but he just doesn't have the fast twitch that the elites do.
Teasdale.
Should also note: Kueter at least has made the podium. Christian Carroll in the same HS class is on his 3rd school and just now a starter, and this year is a borderline AA candidate.
Not one mention of peterson match or ayala until well after the matches were over wtf
Davino took a grand total of 1 shot for the entire match. Ayala was the better wrestler on the mat.
Couldn’t disagree more. I never got the feeling that Davino was in trouble during that match at all. Same feeling I had with Marcus- score was close but that happens. Next time it could be a 2 TD win easily Davino is one tough hombre.
I’m higher than most on here than Marcus if that’s possible. I think he’s the best true freshman I’ve ever seen. He can do it all. I expect him to beat Davino, but I’m expecting a war. I’m expecting a lot of anxiety during that match.
Didn’t they create their own self serving proprietary circle jerk message board
I think so, thought it was The Inner Circle, Special entrance fees, secret handshake maybe, Tom comes to shovel your driveway…
But realistically Mr. Fast Twitch certainly does NOT have the “fast twitch” either…so there’s that.
My concern for any 133 pounder is going bottom against seidel that kid is also a beast and can turn with ease
does the Iowa board really require alot of money to view? not sure how on3 works. if someone could explain it to me i'd be much obliged.
Obviously we’ve all seen Aaron the last four years. I’m not ready to put him up with the top 4 until he faces somebody that is truly a solid podium guy and I’m not talking Tyler Knox despite his ranking.
He’s been a step behind the Blaze, Jax, Davinos his whole career - I don’t think he’s ever gotten close to beating one (0-3) and I’ll wait until he turns someone of consequence before I put him up there.
I saw this posted on the mat. The big 5 freshmen have faced each other a lot over the past 3 years. Records against each other:
Blaze 7-2
Jax 6-4
Davino 5-5
Seidel 0-3
Larkin 0-5
On the Brands situation I'm waiting for someone to say " why would we want Schwab he's a banker, then again we could use the money?"
That was a great match, especially that first period scramble. Forrest and Marcus is an interesting matchup. Does the scrambling ability of Forrest penetrate Marcus' defensive prowess or does Marcus' positioning win the day? The good thing about Marcus' style on his feet is that he doesn't open himself to Forrest's slide-by. How any of their matches play out is very intriguing. If I had to choose, I would say Marcus has the slight edge at this point because he can combine good scrambling ability of his own (see this scramble against Forrest) along with his world-class defense and positioning.
