What an absolute mind **** this is!
AJ has more baggage then the queen of England, but can he keep his act together to make another run at a title at 197?
How crazy would it be to have Gabe at 174, AF at 184, AJ at 197 and Ben full go at heavy. We add a healthy Deluca at 125, one of these portal 133lbers (I would take Fugitt) that have high AA potential, Bailey with his hands healed up at 141, Zepeda at 149, Block at 157 and 165?
Let's go!

I’m kind of shocked Angelo hasn’t said I wanna wrestle with my brother or I’m gone. I guarantee teams would take both those guys. I also couldn’t blame him if it came to that.
He may very well have said it to those that need to know. He seems like an up front type of guy.

Why does AJ need a waiver to be eligible? My record keeping:

2021: Covid year (doesn't count)
2022: Year 1 of eligibility
2023: Redshirt
2024: Olympic redshirt
2025: Year 2 of eligibility
2026:Year 3 of eligibility

Seems to me he has another year.
I don't think he needs a waiver. He was trying to get an additional year for the auto accident year (wasn't going to happen). Maybe the guy that posted that is conflating that.

I don't know how committed to the wrestling program she is but there's always a chance his brother wants to wrestle on the same team as him.

She is in no way standing in his way of doing that.

I don’t think he does for next year.

He’s apparently of the belief he deserves another year for 2022 where he wrestled into late January then was out for the year due to a car accident that was his fault.

Might still need the Olympic shirt approved, but should be easy since Gable Steveson got one.
