I have a similar thought, but with the Olympics in 28, 65kg seems pretty big with where he is at right now. If it weren’t for that thought, I agree. Just worried how much size (not weight) you give up there.
Nebraska Dual
- Thread starter bwel9339
- Start date
Pyles' tweet was from Dec 10 fwiw. They have Vega ahead of Hardy on the P4P now.
They do their rankings and their P4P totally different from how other sports do it and so it understandably creates frustration among fans.

A couple notes after listening to Willie's podcast from yesterday:
1) Dee was sick leading up to dual. Could account for how he passive he was for stretches of time in that match. Van Dee was sick as well.
2) Willie said the coaches told Robideau to keep Antrell down and ride but Robideau went optional start anyway... Idk. Willie sounded 100% certain that he saw it, but I watched the replay and you can see the coaches in the corner as he goes optional and they don't look surprised at all.

AJ started it before the dual. The announcers said AJ was chirping at the OSU guys during the pre-dual handshakes. Kind of crazy to trash talk and then choose to sit out.
Anything for attention. His wrestling is boring so he sits out matches, grooms a horrible haircut, and talks. The rankers are partly responsible, gifting him a number one ranking at the beginning of the season based on results 4 years ago in a different weight class. What a joke.
Was in deep! He lost the arm and thats how Minto countered. If he couldve kept it he'd of gotten the TD and maybe some backs.
Big time disagree. He's improving in every area.
He's definitely not a 57kg and it's 2 1/2 years away . He's a 65kg no doubt by then and he won't be small for the weight
I need to rewatch it…but it looked like he had changed his level while working for a TD to try to give him a corner quicker.
I liked the change, then he got taken down.
I don’t put much stock in it either but was still a bad take. Not as bad since it was before the dual but still.
Ya I forgot there’s no 61kg. My mistake. 65kg for sure for Olympics then and makes sense to get practice in at 141 then to prepare for that. So this year 133 if he goes. Next year highly likely 141.
What's ridiculous is even having a "post match" handshake.
That's a recipe for problems.
I think he is showing improvement but worry about his size and ceiling for the weight.
He has been in a college program for 4 years now (RS year back in 21-22).
He is SO boring!! How many bonus point wins does he have in his career? His brother is the same deal. Obviously a great wrestler but he is "Mr. 3-Point Dual Match Guy."
No. You're seeing a really good wrestler who has no chance at 174. He's not big or strong enough. He could wrestle at 157.
Why ... what's wrong with learning to be well behaved kids?
Sarcasm??
Wrestlers are some of the most emotional of all athletes and things spill over.
At the end of the day, people don't worry about the score...just who won and who lost.
Pretty much all sports do an after game/match handshake. Even in wrestling it goes fine like 99% of the time.
He’s too big for 57, that cut has been talked about.
I don't agree with Casey can't win but man he has a looker
He just upset the number 5 ranked guy. I’d call that a win on the mat.
I’ll be honest,I don’t like moderation and I’m a huge free speech individual.
Those comments should have been left on the board because that poster should have to atone for that.

I know, but he's closer to a 157 than he is a 174lber. Ideal is 165. Officially done beating the dead horse.
Is it free speech you’re concerned about? Considering it’s a pretty encumbered situation where a person can keep anonymous status while the other person can’t.
If people want to make comments of personal nature that would/could upset somebody, go to Facebook where your name and photo is attached to it. If you want to do it here, post your name I guess?
I have no issue putting my name behind my comments, but I guess to your point that poster probably doesn’t.
I wouldn’t figure you as a yella guy, so don’t read into the tone.
I know that family, Wrestlers, recruits and some staff read stuff here. So yes, there will be some deleting. I just fail to recognize the Freedom of Speech aspect?
Does a ghost have the Right to Bear Arms? Anonymously posting (many times from a rival program) can be damaging with no fallout for the poster.
