Ironman 2025

Let him come in and shirt and then you could drop Ryder to 174 when Alex is done and White takes over at 184.
Good plan. Ryder looks like a small 184lber.
He reminds me of Ed Ruth
Agree but he's not a 174 in 2 more years. I see White putting on some size and going 197. Wouldn't shock me if White is beating Merrill next year
I think Ryder would be fine dropping down if that was what needed to happen. IF White doesnt grow I see him being a BIG 84 instead of possibly a small 97 (he wrestled 182 back in March). Regardless, he's a great addition.
He might be done growing a bunch?
I’m also in favor of the upper weights getting a year to acclimate to major college Wrestling. At 184 and up, you almost always have grown men across from you.
White moved up to #1 at 190lb in flo's rankings today.
All of their P4P rankings are a mess. Frequently they'll have WrestlerA ranked higher than WrestlerB in the weight class, but have WrestlerB higher than WrestlerA in the P4P rankings. You would never see that in boxing or MMA
Watch Willie’s stuff. Flo has too much to do in season.
Flo is more focused on NCAA rankings. Willie is the authority on kids in HS by far.
Issue is not many people pay for Rokfin they don't have live college events it's mostly parents who pay not a ton of fans do
i also have White #1 at 190 but not in P4P (and Waters in)
White has a good number of losses this year and not a ton of elite wins. he hasnt even been wrestling that long, so the level of where he is at already is particularly impressive.

It's pretty crazy how far he's come in such a short amount of time. I remember watching him last year and he'd get in positions where you could tell he didn't have the experience or technique to finish them. I seen a little of that last weekend still, but his upside is off the charts.
I’m looking forward to tanner hodgkins wrestling some elite guys. Does anyone know When that will occur
Millie azlin pinned her way through the finals
Broken Arrow girls took the team trophy home, with (my girls) Bixby took second. We only had 10 girls there compared to BA. Both teams wrestled great, really good showing that the top 2 teams were from Oklahoma

Yes we do. I talked to the Perez twins while we were at Wrestle Like a Girl tournament, I was shocked to not see them at Ironman. Stillwater didn't seen any girls to Iron man, Union and Edmond North only sent around 5-6 girls and I am pretty sure Union still finished in the top 10 with only 5 girls competing.
