Cenzo, Cassar, Gilman officially added to NLWC
- Thread starter El-Jefe
- Start date
Yeah, I'm curious too. But it does seem like the natural time to announce Hall going to NLWC would've been at the same time they were announcing Cenzo, Cassar, and Gilman, so he's more than a bit conspicuous by his absence from that announcement.
But perhaps he's weighing offers, which he won't lack. Or perhaps he just wants time to think about what comes next.
Mark has a major problem in Olympic years. Cutting to 163 is a major problem and going up to 189 makes him VERY undersized.
I mean, it’s no Paul Glynn or Jeremiah Moody, but congrats.
That's true, but he's going to face that same problem wherever he trains.
Hope he announces something soon.
First I've heard of that. Probably a misremembering or misinterpretation.
Mark has always said he wanted to get into coaching. That doesn't necessarily mean immediately. If he does intend to do both concurrently, that would be difficult but hardly unprecedented (and might be a way to make more money and accelerate his coaching career). Frank Molinaro did it for a couple years before quitting coaching to focus on the Olympics.
I think one issue right now for Hall is that he still has not graduated, believe that is the focus now. He was on Baschamania podcast in the last several weeks.

Looks like they have not updated the site since before the addition of Snyder

He is doing just that (weighing offers). About 20 topics down there is a post about Hall and Cenzo. It it I linked an April YouTube interview with Hall where he addressed the club situation. Cliff notes: 1. Mark will be in State College at least through December as he finishes up some coursework, 2. He wants to go through a “recruitment process” as it pertains to post-grad clubs, 3. It sounded like his mentor Slay will get a strong look, and 4. He hasn’t written off PSU as an option.
Reading the tea leaves, my money is in Mark joining Slay at the Pennsylvania RTC.
I would agree with that.I think Slay can convince Mark to be successful he's gotta shrink his body and get to 74kg.
It’s a shame because he’s a terrific freestyle wrestler. I hope he can somehow manage 74kg. If he can, I think he could be a force. The crazy dude Mark beat in the Semis in 2016, Suleymanov, is now a European silver medalist who nearly beat Burroughs the following year at the World Cup.

yep, being a tweener really sucks for him because he is sooooo friggin good at freestyle.
I cant see a starving Mark Hall being successful over Dake, A full grown man Nolf, or even a natural 74 Imar, it just isnt in the cards for him at 74.
Depending on what Dake does after Oly’s, 79 would be ideal for Marky, but even there you have a world contender in Ringer. I do think Marky is a better FSler than Ringer though.
Why do think Ringer would be his competition at 79 after Dake walked thru the World Championships last year at 79?
Also, would Dieringer really cut back to 79 kg after adding 15 lb of muscle to go 86 kg?
If Dake chooses to stay at 74, then yes, Jefe, I think Ringer will trek back to 79.
Unless he seriously thinks he has a better chance at beating DT.
This should answer your question too Nova.
