    U17/U20 Nationals 4/24-28 in Las Vegas

    Yep. And Mesenbrink would have finished 4th, and not get the auto U23 spot. So maybe you all should be a little nicer to JB. This clearly was an olive branch to regain the favor of the PSU faithful...

    U17/U20 Nationals 4/24-28 in Las Vegas

    JB not weighing in put Mesenbrink 3rd on the ladder. Actually, according to USA wrestling website, JB didn't make the team.... https://www.themat.com/team-usa/national-team

    U17/U20 Nationals 4/24-28 in Las Vegas

    Davis is registered @ 61 Barr @ 86 No Mesenbrink(too old?), but he does get the U23 spot since he placed top 3 at OTTs

    2024 Olympic Team Trials previews - April 19 & 20

    TBF, everyone experiences gas tank issues vs Mesenbrink.

    2024 Olympic Team Trials previews - April 19 & 20

    Just spitballing, but this format separates out the weights by what a win means. Putting the already qualified weights at the end allows for more celebration(pageantry??) of the winners that just became Olympians. Seems an odd format at 1st. But I kind of understand it, if that was the...

    2024 Olympic Team Trials previews - April 19 & 20

    Official seeds won't be until probably early next week. Below, Willie put Flo's projected seeds into bracket form. Have seen one or two other projections and they are very similar.

    Last Chance OTT Qualifier - April 7

    I'm biased on 1st three, but: Nyla Valencia at 50kgs. Fantastic top game, esp with guts. Missed college season due to injury, but looked great 1st match Brianna Gonzalez 53kgs. Little pitbull. Very heavy hands, strong in the front headlock. Lauren Louive 62 kgs. OG HWC member. Probably...

    Most likely hypothetical 5 timers

    Here's my order of confidence(least to most). Basing this mostly on the level of competition of the finalists at their weights the following year. Dake - Taylor/Caldwell Starocci - O'Toole/??? Yianni - Henson/Gomez Stieber - Heil/Meredith Cael - Hahn/Trenge Smith - Benion/Wirnsberger Brooks...

    Points by state hs...

    I typically just ignore their posts, but didn't want people thinking that the #'s were accurate at all. I would imagine PA is #1 by a stretch, but the #'s in OP are fabrications.....

    Points by state hs...

    May want to rerun your #'s as there is no way Wisconsin was in 2nd with only 68 pts. Keck, Mesenbrink, O'Toole, Buchanan and Barnett easily surpassed that number, plus the other dozen wrestlers from Wisconsin that scored a point or 3. Iowa is no PA, but actually had a much better year than...

    Your Darkhorse At Nationals.

    184 - TJ Stewart Keckeisen wins comfortably, but other than him, I'm thinking this weight is going to get blown up with multiple top 8 losing early.

    Ha, @Cali_Nittany I just noticed your signature. Typically use my phone and they don't show. Not sure if I should feel pride or shame....

    If Cael was a dick to you, you probably deserved it.

    Willie's post on GIA

    Listened to that part a few times as well. He did say that he wasn't sure if it was 2 points or three. Also said that the policy didn't allow for the vote because of how it went down. What he didn't say, and is completely up for interpretation, is whether or not the staff knew this before...

    Pan-Am's

    I swear I saw someone say Zain is going 74kgs. Can't recall right now when/where/who said it, but I do remember thinking it was probably accurate, as they are typically right about PSU related topics.

    Pan-Am's

    Agree. I have no problems with the current system. Let's recap: Any wrestler can attempt to make a World team each year. Richards had to win the US Open, then beat an Olympic bronze medalist in a best-of-three to make the World team. No easy task. Since he didn't secure an Olympic quota...
