If you want Nick it is yours!Paul,
I'll trade you your Nick Lee for a whole Cheesecake of your choice. (I know a guy)!
I favor my guy Carr and firmly believe he can/will win it this year, but as I have said since Messenbrink entered the game he is trouble. He is the one guy every team should have wanted. I know I was blasted on here for saying I think he is a better recruit than Myles Shapiro but I stand by those claims. 3 titles,2 hodge trophies, and several World and Olympic medals are his ceiling. The floor can be next to nothing because the way he wrestles in that psycho over zealous style could always get him pinned or worse yet injured. He deserves the name psycho or Norman or something. He wrestles like he can't believe how lucky he is to get the opportunity and believes this is his last time to ever wrestle.
Ben is pretty honest about his guys and when he mentions Mesenbrink in the same breath as KOT it isn't by mistake. I think he will take a few lumps along the way but his trajectory is still very vertical. The young man is a coach's dream. He is with the best coaches on the planet. Soil/seed//water/sun. It is all there.

"Tough cut" is music to my ears. I think by now after all these years, we should have seen enough of Cael's teams to favor "possibly undersized" over "has to starve to make weight" in March. I'll gladly sacrifice 10lbs of hoagie weight crammed in for breakfast after weigh ins for fresh and energetic.
The hypothesis has been that the big cut holds the bigger advantage for the smaller guy Friday night relative to Saturday night.
Scorps really hit their stride after Matias Jabs joined...they were one of the original "New Wave of British Heavy metal" bands even though they were from Germany 😂
Blackout is on my top 10 goat albums. Phenomenal album. The cover aint to shabby either.
Blackout is a great record. So is Love At First Sting and Animal Magnetism. Old fans enjoyed Uli John Roth also, from their first years.
Askren has said more than once he believes this is KOT’s last year at 165. Going to 174.
What intrigued me is that, in the lead up to the all star match (right after matchups were announced), FRL strongly implied that a “super match” of 2 multiple-title winners was all set but one of the staffs vetoed it. I’d imagine it was KOT/Starocci (almost has to be). The intriguing part would be whether that was gonna be a catch weight or just 174 had it happened.
Think of the NCAA titles that are gonna be at 74 kg OTT in April. 14 off the top of my head.
If they all qualify and choose to compete at 74 kg:
Dake 4
Jason 3
Carter 4
O'Toole, Carr, Mesenbrink 4 combined
Cenzo 2
Martinez 2
Lewis 1
Zsin 3
Deakin 1
Also, Burroughs (2). Silly of me to forget Zain in our own room, but goll-llie. And right here in my back yard to boot!

One of Carr or KOT should have 3 by years end and the other will have 2 right? They both have 2 now IIRC.
I see you gave CS 4, NICE!!
This has to be some kinda record, what a BRACKET.
Has Zain hinted to where he’s going? Did anyone see him eating over Thanksgiving?
O'Toole has finished 3-1-1 so far. Carr has finished 1-3-2 so far.
It sounded like Beard got a good reception when they introduced him..
Yeah, a fair bit of people applauded him. Was hoping for more, personally, but it was warm enough of a welcome back.
Knowing Mitch's training partners are Carter, Haynes and Kyle Dake gives me a warm feeling re: KOT.
