You get an enthusiastic like if only for the "fickle mistress" statement!!
Bartletts win against Lachlan McNeil is looking better and better. He’s up to #9 in the rankings and has won 16 of his last 18. Those 2 losses are to Bartlett and Cole Matthews and he just meat Tom Crook pretty bad
To be fair, what else would he say? "Oh, I think Haines should've been redshirted. He'll be lucky to win one this year."
He could’ve said that Levi is very good but not quite ready to contend? He doesn’t need to put outsized expectations on the kid unless he truly thinks he can meet them which it sounds like he does
He could've stopped after "he's very good."

Luckily nobody from NCAA Compliance returned Vodka's calls.
Taylor has obviously never endured a government audit, where you learn very quickly to answer only what was asked and don't volunteer anything.

I’m a PSU season ticket holder who lives in ACC country (VT season ticket holder). I’ve seen O’Conner live twice this season. He’s been a dominating monster. Until last weekend, …. everyone he wrestled has wilted. I love what we have with Levi, but, he would have to wrestle a perfect tactical match in order to have a chance against O’Conner.
Damn…..I hope we have a coach who can help Levi craft a perfect tactical match if that match happens in Tulsa. Levi is a smart, talented kid. I have faith he would be able to execute the plan.
I think his comment was more about the weight class and maybe that was some of the decision behind the curtain.🤔
Get ready to watch the Haines show tonight. Coleman is going to go in all cocky and not know what hit him.
As an outside observer... 100% Levi can win NCAAs this year.. and if I had to put my 401k on anyone in the 157 bracket, it would be Levi.
Yeah, this escalated pretty quickly from “he’s only 18 and a contender but it’s premature to call him a favorite” to “Is he the #1 seed at NCAAs?”.
Assuming O'Connor wins an ACC title he's definitely #1 but after that it's a bit of a crapshoot. I'm sure the seeding committee will make the Zerban loss a much bigger deal than it is so I'd expect Levi to slot in at #5.
1. O'Connor
2. Humphreys
3. Franek
4. Cardenas
5. Haines
No chance he’s behind Cardenas. Big Ten champ with one loss and the best win of anybody at the weight. You’d hope he could get to the 2/3 side though.
If someone asked me what Levi's best trait is. I would say his "Tenacity"
It was quite evident on his winning move.

Cardenas?! He’s in redshirt. Levi should be the 3 behind O’Connor and Franek. Humphreys is the wild card.
Humphreys is undefeated. If Franek beats Gfeller he’s the Big 12 champ with his only loss to Robb. If O’Connor wins he’s undefeated. Robb only has one loss to the Haines, the Big 10 champ. Haines loss to Zerban. Now if Andonian beats O’Connor they will each only have 1 loss to each other. Going to be crazy seeding the top.

I think there’s a slim chance he’d move ahead of Franek but it depends how they weigh losses vs. wins.
I don't think I'm nuts in thinking that they look for reasons to drop PSU guys more than they do wrestlers from other schools.
That's not where I'd have him but I think they'll do everything they can to stop PSU from having six finalists. No way is he any higher than 4.
Think he probably gets the 3 if Gfeller beats Franek. Think AOC is 1 then you’re looking at Humphreys/Franek/Haines
I'd take Levi against any of those three guys, O'Connor is the only one I'm not sure about but we still can't be sure about how good Levi is.
Chaos. (Probably Humphreys the one? But I don’t even wanna deal with that haha)
AOC beat the piss out of him last time so Andonian is gonna have to pull out the junk and hope it hits
It’s coming up next on ACC network.
