    Seeds for NCAA

    Not much to complain about. Seeding looks good. Decent draws. OSU, tOSU, Iowa feel similar. ISU and Neb look more favorable in the middle weights to hwt. It’s tough no matter where you land so feels like nitpicking but here’s my take: 125: winnable first 2 then familiar foe. He’s beat him...

    Brands post B1G Tourney thoughts

    I agree if MM bonuses his way to a title which is very likely. I don’t recall a 100% bonus rate ever being achieved. If he falls short of 100%, I think Mendes will get it or worst case co-winners. He’s just too highly thought of and has a strong case. Please let the second scenario happen with...

    Big 10 session 4 pbp/discussion

    Is Welsh the first Big 10 champion to be gifted 2 wins?

    Ferrari/Welsh non stall calls and singlet grabs

    Agreed. The loss to Welsh in that fashion only happens in Happy Valley. I don’t think Angelo loses to him again, maybe ever. And I think everyone knows it including PSU fans deep down. Hope it’s another QF match at Nationals.

    Big 10 Session 2 PBP

    He said “a little more fight there maybe”. Well I thought Kale Peterson showed a lot more fight than Bailey, and he went with Bailey because your lineup is better with Bailey in it. Everyone knows that. How many times has Brands said you put your best lineup/team on the mat especially when it...

    If AWA kids were coming here and stopped due to Askren’s comments, that’s called “moving” the needle. Look at recruiting under Brands over the years. It’s been exhausted to death on this forum. Now point to where you see the drop. And then try to explain Askren’s influence.

    I can’t anymore…

    John Smith set a good example. Let’s hope he follows his path. Tom’s had his time. I would like to see Terry have his leading the HWC. He still has a lot to offer. The older, mature, proven guys like Lee, Desanto, Buchanan respond to him. His style translates well to the freestyle game...

    You’re giving Askren way too much credit. He’s been highly critical of Brands and Iowa for years. As a result, AWA kids do not come here — never have and likely never will. But when has his comments ever moved the needle in recruiting? It simply hasn’t. We arguably have the best upcoming class...

    I like hearing Askren’s thoughts and analysis. The man has depth and an interesting perspective. But this is a straight up troll job. He can troll with the best of them.

    Or Ludington could be key to securing a win against MI or more importantly, avoiding another loss and the downward spiral.
