I don't want to jinx anything, but I like the idea of injury insurance.
For most teams going for a team trophy (2nd on down), if they lose a solid starter it might cost them 3-10 points.
When half your team are 20+ pointers, that 30 point gap closes pretty quickly with the loss of only one of our studs.
Counter intuitive to some extent, but when you are on top, the cost of an injury is actually magnified.
I’m not trying to put the kid down, but his only trip to nationals and only winning record was last year, as a 5th year senior, when he went 15-14 overall and 0-2 at nationals. And he’s now lost twice by MD this year, the other one to Artalona
All I’m saying is it was a nice win by Haines but I don’t see it as the stratospheric win that propels one into title contender status.
Am I the only one that thinks that Levi beats Facundo next year if they’re both at 165?
I don't see enough evidence to make an assessment in either direction. If this scenario is real, I suspect Levi shirts.
I agree, if Starocci stays at 174 and therefore Facundo at 165, then (assuming Levi wrestles the rest of this year and doesn't shirt this one) I think Levi will take his shirt year next year if he can't make 157. It seems like the reasonable thing to do. If Levi decides to challenge Facundo and wins and forces him out of the lineup, does he just sit for a year? Or potentially enter the portal? Nothing good happens in that acenario.
Strikes me as high level offense vs high level defense matchup. Examples: SVN - Paniro, DT - Dake, Q - Bosak (although he should've been hit for stalling). Levi probably needs to tighten up his D a bit like a PSU great near and dear to our Hearts.
Hard to say but of the two, I think Levi has more room to improve from where they are right now. I think Levi ends up with more hardware.
My wife always travels with but she stays in the hotel and chills. So it's just me. Thank you my friend!
I got some singles through some bone-headed buying I did. They are in the upper level 6 or 7 rows up. There aren't any bad seats in the BJC. Free to you if you want one.My wife always travels with but she stays in the hotel and chills. So it's just me. Thank you my friend!
I think my cousin got me some good seats for Michigan, they're in 130L, row BB 101,102 in BJC, are they where I think they're at?
130L is at the end in the lower level. I'm guessing two rows from the regular lower section. The higher in the alphabet you go, the lower the seats. For example row GG would be lower than BB.
Sections 101 and 102 are just around the corner in the lower section from 130L. They are on the same end.
Thank you, my friend, I'll take you up on one ticket...whichever you think is best. I can't take em free though. At the very least I'll make a donation to PSU wrestling team.
The answer to this thread is:
Hell Yeah! Levi is a title contender period

I remember Bill. I remember him on a road trip to Purdue in December going skinny dippy in a outdoor hotel pool on a cold night. He was a character!
You got it. Just let me know what email or text# I can send the transfer to.

Just wondering why you tagged NCHawk, did you mean to tag Nashville?
I’d give Levi a slight edge at the END of next year after he’s fully accustomed to the bump.
Either way, prefer if he goes this year and shirts next.
Im equally intrigued in how live go’s go between SVN and LeHa.
That is what happens when you post before having your first cup of coffee.... 😂
NC55 is not NC5. Although there is a relationship, I do not appreciate my name being drug through the mud when i’ve played nice for so long now.
2024 criteria won't be announced until next year. If he's eligible and chooses to shirt, then he should take the Olympic shirt in order to keep the regular shirt available if needed.
Transfer sent. Hopefully you got the text.Thanks brother. 615-867-5309. Really appreciate it!

Great point but I don't see it as counter intuitive. It seems pretty obvious to me. Now if PSU could expect 3-5 national champs and everyone else 8 or better it wouldn't quite be the same.
@82bordeaux and @Nashville_Hawkeye you might want to edit out the phone numbers later, just... so no wackadoodle sees them down the road.
Who would bother a Hawk fan?
OK. delete that before JTS sees it!
Need @STAND with PRIDE to do an edit too.
I already got them and sold them to the Microsoft guardian team located in India.

Hilarious brother!!
Andy Clark at #38 has a nice win at the scuffle over Artalona. My brother coached him at Collingswood a couple years ago. It’s his first year down at 157. Kid is tough and just figuring out who he is this year. Saldate has a history of being a tough out in big matches. And Seibrecht is dangerous. I agree with your assessment in Lewan being the true test here but they’re all good chances to build on very very quality opponents.
Totally not necessary. But I'm sure Thomas Gilman appreciates it.Donation made my friend. And thanks again for being so kind...greatly appreciated.
