Hayden had 3 seasons at 157; seems unusual to jump 2 weights. Became a tough cut to 157?
Bullard is their 165? Leave him in place just for team balance?
He said he wants to practice with his brother every day basically.
Seems a bit unusual, but Kemerer did it. Rivera too, though he went from 125 to 133 before jumping to 141.
Guys have done it -- IIRC Mark Martin jumped from 165 to 197 one year.
The unusual part is announcing a 2 weight jump immediately after nationals.
Both Bullards are SRs, no idea if they are returning -- but the 174 is much better than the 165, and placed this year.
That’s because it was easier for him to do absolutely nothing at 197.
If Martin went 174, a little bit of motion would have still been expected of him.
Hayden’s consi-semifinal loss to Teemer was one of my biggest surprises of the weekend. He got wrecked...
Hidlay looked awful in the 1st. Don't think I've ever seen someone simply shrug off his underhook -- Teemer did it 2x for takedowns in the period (and again later in the match).
After that ... Micah Jordan thinks Teemer is terrible on bottom.
Another guy that needs to give her a little something to work with. Or, maybe that's what you did.So you have met my ex-wife? .
By appearances alone, Hayden this year reminded me of Dieringer at 165, someone who appeared to be making a drastic cut. I know he's not tall but he looked to have bulked up considerably from prior years, and probably would've been more comfortable up a class or two. I don't know if that was why he underperformed expectations, but I have to imagine he was cutting a ton.
Hayden was on the Mattalk Online Podcast yesterday and he addressed the weight cut. Cliff notes: He was suffering, badly. A really nice interview, by the way. He’s well-spoken....

I wrestled 98 as Freshman and 145/155 as a Senior. All with no cut. Then again, with every jump I sucked more.
Geez, you must go 250 now.

NC State has done an amazing job but there's no doubt that collectively they cut an absolute TON of weight up and down the lineup. Given that Hidlay looked SO BAD early in that Teemer match after his 3rd weighin, makes total sense to move up. Kem just did the 57 to 74 with great success, no reason Hidlay can't.
He will be comically short at 174 though, like Bono levels given he's already short at 157.
