Wow! That snap was nasty! Put his face right through the mat

So many extremely high level kids coming to PSU in the next few years but I think Duke might be the best. He is absolutely incredible. So hard to score on. So fundamentally sound. So strong and has really good attacks from so many different areas. I am really excited to see him at PSU

The answer is that these guys will qualify for an Olympic redshirt. Come on el Jefe, the latest cycle has them as qualifiers . I don't see any changes.
What I meant by that, other than the snark -- and I should've been clearer about this:

IIRC the Trials qualification rules changed for the 2024 Olympics, adding past years of allowable credentials, due to the Covid fustercluck.

Will USA Wrestling keep a solution to a problem that no longer exists? Who knows.

But they need to do something about a format that had guys competing until nearly midnight, on the treadmill cutting weight past 1 am, and then having to weigh-in at 8 am. If that means reducing qualifiers, so be it. And that might trickle into Olympic Shirt rules.
 
Big one here between Lockett and Sealey. Sealey beat him at Ironman this year but that was in folk. Both guys are U17 world champs

Anyone know if Duke will forego his senior year of high school and come to the NLWC/M2?
