Mark Hall

[dunkej01]

This thread has gone silly without many knowing. Lol.

There's a lot of crystal ball thinking on Hall's cut but you'd really have to know his walking weight to know his cut. Traditional sense? I've seen kids, including myself slide right past the mark on weigh in day even on the hard cut day. Usually later in the season but still happens routinely.

How many of our "undersized" guy's have excelled? Loads. Right now, is anyone more undersized than Cutch and he's showing an ability to move the big men. Frank was pretty much undersized except when laying down. Lol. Kilgore wasn't ours but he was undersized and for years people wanted Smackintosh to go 184.

A couple of posts back in the thread we had a positively sarcastic comment saying "Really? I never saw Nolf beat Realbuto......" a few bit down so hard one even said "I saw it myself".

Sometimes I cannot stop laughing and this thread has done just that.

So to the question of whether or not Hall and Joseph would Flip Flop I would like to respond.

I don't know but I bet Nolf can help them try.

Silly like a clown?

Finally got a chance to watch this match. No idea what he's weighing in at but he really does appear smaller than everyone I've seen him face at 174. But that's beside the point because I don't think weight was a factor in that loss. I think he lost because he approached it lightly; there was no intensity, like you might wrestle in practice, and he caught a guy who was pretty good and pretty amped to be wrestling Mark Hall. Which is fine really, Hall was there less to win a tournament on behalf of his team than to get folk matches in. He looked fine outside of giving up that tilt (and being outweighed could've been the difference in that sequence). Lots of other things he could've done to win that match if winning it was the most important takeaway, like clock management.

Please dont take this the wrong way. In no way am i making fun of Mark. After watching a few more videos of him i cant help but notice his interesting body shape/physique. He appears to have a rather large head and torso. And kind of short legs that bow out a little. It seems to help him keep people away from his legs but does it hamper him at all?

I was born with a rather large head myself and have received plenty of crap about it over the years. 7 7/8 is my hat size lol

Hall has always looked really cool/calm to me. Kinda like Ruth in that regard. May look like they aren't "trying" at times but I doubt the effort isn't there.

Yeah, I definitely agree with that but even by that standard it was easy to imagine him being able to conjure more urgency when he was down.

If Hall has no serious injury he will not lose another match.
Only reason he lost this one is he doesn't want to out perform his coach..

I can settle for Mark equaling Cael's college wrestling record.

Well, if that's the goal, then his redshirt really should not be pulled, anymore.
