Can you imagine how bad Ferarri would gas vs. a B

I don't believe the Merrill match looks like the Merrill match if it was not the NCAA finals. Josh will wear AJ out.
He absolutely would wear AJ out, as he did to Merrill. Barr wears everybody out. Playing contrarian, I'm just not certain that results in a bunch of points against a wrestler whose offense is little more than trying to stop the other guy from scoring. A fresh 240+ Bastida has a ton of horsepower, which is why he scored (early) and that was the only time Ferrari has been bonused. Ferrari may stall himself into a DQ against Barr, otherwise he'd likely one-knee, boundary dance, and splits his way to a regular loss.

According to this, he will need a waiver to compete. Not sure how that affects him entering the portal.



When he goes MMA or WWE..

You could be right, but Barr one more year more mature I believe just brutalizes Ferrari.

Most of the times Brands resists throwing the brick to see if the refs will review action on their own and thereby preserve his precious brick !!!!
If a coach throws a brick late (like for a lunger), but the ref wastes time explaining it was too late (basically grants the lunger), then does the coach get to keep his brick?

I don't think they should.

I despise coaches that game the rules.

Considering that will be their murder's row where they will will most matches, and with only 1 or 2 cumulative TDs, they will be on their feet screaming.

I, on the other hand will gladly go through watching the 184 and Hwt OT matches just for the joy of watching Barr bonus a gassed to the point of fainting AJ and an embarrassed Brands try every lunger trick in the book.
Yeah, AJ's quarter-squats are going to take a beating.

Man, I’m really hoping all the Ferrari’s reunite at Iowa
The Iowa AD said no last year when AJ at the time basically had everyone fooled he reformed at CSUB.

I don't see how she changed her mind after based on what happened in the past year. AJ managed:

1. To get kicked off/voted off another team
2. He's charged with a car related felony and had a court case/was in police custody over it
3. He continues the splits spectacle (what got him in trouble in the first place at Iowa and something he clearly views as funny) despite video evidence every single time of his coaches and teammates telling him to stop
4. He has a PR nightmare of an interview where he accuses an athlete from another school of outright cheating and had to issue an apology for it from the teams official Twitter page

He's apparently trying to bring his equally unhinged brother who doesn't need an introduction

I don't think it has been explicitly stated anywhere but IMO AJ was shown the door vs just moving on seeking more money.

When your own coach puts his head in his hands at your antics on national TV it's an indication AJ was counseled and still choose to do his own thing... Multiple times.

I really think Nebraska took the 1 year gap filter and then said good riddance.

If Iowa makes the same mistake, I can't wait.

The one and only time I felt bad for Manning!

I agree wholeheartedly with you. I believe his whole shtick wore out every last nerve the Nebraska staff had available. Manning, Snyder, Dlagnev and Green had to be regularly embarrassed by AJ's "pay attention to me, I am the clown" routine.

Is Anthony (Fredo) talented enough to get any serious interest in the portal?

His record/teams to date tell the tale:

2024 (FR): unattached
2025 (RSFR): team = Long Island University; record = 2-1
2026 (SO): team = Campbell; record = 6-6
