Agreed. We have to learn to temper out expectations 😂I mean, it's an open. Early rounds are gonna be like that. Though at least Barr will draw an NCAA qualifier here in a few minutes.

Doesn't a 4-point move have to go from the feet to immediate danger position (beyond 90 degrees) when the opponent first hits the mat? From how I have seen it called previously, I would say this would be called two most of the time.
All this winning is making me hungry. Anyone bbq ing tonight?86kg R32- Josh Barr vs. Tomas Brooker (Boone RTC)

I wonder if Barr & Facundo use the same tattoo shop?
Brooker with a shot, nothing,

Luke Lilledahl TECH Theodore Flores 10-0 (1:44)
Where would I find the mat assignments?Lilledahl with a tech in 1:42. His ankle pick is a thing of beauty. This group of kids are absolutely destroying today
Time to get the fork out.I might eat my words on this, and of course Lilledahl's body of work far exceeds Desmond's, but not sure there is a ton of separation at this point. Desmond looks excellent. Doubt they meet in this tournament, however.
Haha Yeah. I mean it's freestyle. Those matches happen. The second major exchange was kind of sloppy though. Interested to see if there's a rematch in the consis.Time to get the fork out.
