Fair expectations for Brooks

One thing is for sure - those two guys will let it fly!

... (almost positive Imar RSed his first year).

I remember IMar took 5th at Midlands his first, RS year.

Yes, Aaron is a true freshman for college eligibility, but he was in the high school class of 2018 and spent a year at the Olympic training center and wrestling high-end freestyle. Not your typical "true freshman".

Haven't seen him wrestle yet, other than some youtube highlights. Do folks here really give him a good chance vs Zahid?

It is all about riding ability. If you can belly him out, Zahid’s length works against him. In Mark Hall’s last win against him, he rode Zahid an entire period. Up at 184 Zahid is less likely to gas. I would not want to try and win a takedown battle against him. When you get him down, keep him on the mat.

I'm not so sure. AB has one hell of aan ankle pick. If he shows that speed we have seen so far it may come to that. High scoring match and I don't think many 184 guys in college can use speed like that. Zahid may get tired. Interesting topic. Hope we all get to see it

After seeing the team Holiday photo, my expectation is that Aaron gets a Christmas sweater in a couple of weeks for next year's photo.

John, I enjoy your insight. Good luck thr rest of the season.

If Aaron has half the riding ability of Mark Hall, he should rule 184 for at least 3 years.
I think riding is Markys best attribute. Not necessarily turning for NF ala Zain, but for pure riding, there is none better.

Barring something unforseen, What would be a fair expectation for A. Brooks at NCAA tournament this year?

Not to be picky, but Ruth’s wins over Lewnes and Nolf’s over Imar were when they were RS FR. StandwithPride’s post was if AB beat Zahid as a true FR—quite a feat!

My response was to roy and his post about Ed Ruth and Lewnes.
While AB is a true fresh, he is two years removed from his high school graduation and in his second year of post high school training. Fairly similar to Jason.
