Ncaa won the Wisne case in Colorado so 2022 athletes have no more eligibility. This was the case Levi was waiting on . Levi will be dropping classes in 3 2 1

Is this the first time the NCAA has won a case in court? Only slightly kidding.

Does this include Mendez? I don’t understand the whole thing going down in Ohio.

Yeah, Sabula and the rest of his transgender clan would be a ton of fun. I'd rather suck start a shotgun than hang with a bunch of dudes that like roosters.
Thank you so much for confirming your absolute stupidity. My wife of 44 years would be interested in your opinion, then laugh you off the face of the Earth... moron. 😆 Better head back to the barn and slop some more hogs there cletus. Then crack open your daily 12er of Keystone Light.

My guess is that this isn't helping.
I fed pigs, and one of my old friends actually likes Keystone Light, or at least the relative cost of it. My wife of 39 years might agree with you though, but she can be so snooty sometimes. ;)

It was actually posted pretty late Split time... so you were close. There's a 7-hour time difference between Bari/Split, and Iowa time. Then as I'm sure you know, not everyone goes to bed at 9 pm like you probably do. Shoved off for Bari shortly after that. Actually sitting there now. Arrivaderchi... and thanks for your interest! Ill drink a Peroni Dark just for you.
Well I posted at 11pm so no 9pm bed time for me. I've been around long enough to know you've posted some ridiculous bs in the past so we'll just leave it at that. Have a nice trip.

Is Jovani Solis someone we’re after?
Hopefully we go after him, Tovar, Sanchez, O’Niell, Dube or Ballard, Arnett, and Heeg. Also Peter Mocco, but idk what that looks like with his older brother occupying the weight for 3 years after Kueter.

With Joey projecting to be 197, we would need some recruits for 125, 165, 174, 184.

With the combination of 2027, 2028 we have these weights filled

125 - Sean Kenny
133 - Paul Kenny
141/149 - Israel Borge, Dawson Youngblut, Shamus Regan
157 - Freddy Bachmann
165 - ?
174 - ?
184 - ?
197 - Joey Bachmann
HWT - Covered for 5 years with Mocco

I certainly am. Thank you. And by the way, I've never posted anything I didn't know or believe to be true.

Who is it that lists the lineups. We need it for the next 5 years.

I think Joe B may be a 184, which would be good with Harvey and Caulkins

You think Joey will be going 84? Last I heard he was planning on doing the Gabe diet and attempting to make 74 first couple years in school. (To avoid sitting behind Ferrari)

I’m curious as well. I’m not sure if it was a weight cut issue (he competed internationally at 92kg or about 203 lbs) but his Jr season state tourney was a bit of a disaster at 190. He was seeded fifth and didn’t place. Up at 215 he looked a lot stronger putting a hurting on some solid wrestlers and upset Air Force commit Wes Burford in the state finals. Burford was ranked #3 nationally at the time and was awarded CA Male Athlete of the year award. My biggest concern for him is how he’ll manage his weight for 5 years as a large 197lber.

I want absolutely 0 to do with Matty O'Neill - can't attack legs, and his only ride on top is a stall ride in college (side headlock)

Certainly 174 is possible. However, if he can't beat Gabe, then just cutting to 184 first year is likely at the moment. However, if he keeps growing..............

Yes we are. He ain't ever finishing top 4 at NCAAs
Top 20 P4P guys at need weights seem like exactly who we want. Dude just started his Jr year by winning the Super 32 going 7-0. He had 2 wins by fall and 2 major decisions. He’s ranked #1 nationally at 144lbs. I’m missing the part where he sucks at wrestling.

I didn’t have a great impression either just watching matches on YouTube; didn’t have much offense from neutral and thought he’d run into problems with neutral danger. Honestly thought in the 30s pfp vs top 10

After Super 32 I totally switched my opinion. He’s a bit unorthodoxed in the way he gives up the leg but he consistently turned opponents leg attacks into TDs for himself. He’s very tough on top and is more than a cling rider.

After Super 32 I’m all in on him.

VHS did you watch O’Neil at Super 32? If not, you need to. I think you’ll change your opinion. He’s got a different style but he’s effective.

He wrestles a lot like Eierman on top and when he initiates scramble, but on a purely defensive scramble he’s a lot like Angelo who has yet to get taken down through 2 seasons.

Every match. He’s a GREAT high school wrestler. But his matches against ranked guys are all the same.

It’s almost impossible to AA if you can’t get to legs. Let alone make a final.

And his ride is fantastically tight, but he literally won’t be able to use it in college.

Eirerman in the sense of he wants his opponent in on his lead leg. Eierman would slap a cradle on you and pin you; O’Neil turns it into a TD and does it over and over again.

He has very long arms too and uses his length in a deliberate fashion; a little Ty Waters like.

I guess that’s what I was trying to say. When he initiates the scramble by giving up the lead leg he scrambles like Eierman, he did look for cradle at Elite 8 Duals in that position. But if it’s more of a defensive scramble because he didn’t want you on legs he scrambles a lot like Angelo and is impossible to take down in it.

Maybe that's why we differ a bit; you're judging him on National Champion / Finalist potential, whereas I'm judging him more as a cog in the machine, a chance to be a multi year AA.
