I totally get the natural propensity to extrapolate from a wrestler's freestyle performance how he might perform in a folkstyle match. But as others have noted, you wrestle the guy in front of you and take the points you can get in a match within the context of the style of the event.
That's what Cole did. It was hugely impressive to me that he had only 7 seconds left to get another point and Mocco knew he'd be coming for the pushout but was powerless to stop Cole!
I see some similiarities to Mesenbrink
He's nowhere inventive enough to be Nolf, that's his teammate
agreed.
He's more of a much more diverse Desanto. He's going to tech a lot of guys out of sheer pace. He's good on top. But no one is comparing him to a Zain.
I think Duke makes Final X
Let me see him at trials before I make a final X prediction. Although some say I do that after the matches 🤣
Pantaleo is another interesting option, he beat Duke 7-0 last time. Definitely an eye opening match that I think was important for PJ to have, he's extremely strong but someone can always be even stronger.
I don't think he's qualified for trials
Check out the video at the :04 mark. It sure looks like PJ stepped out before he hit the four point throw. 4-0 PJ vs. 1-0 Miller is a huge change. Miller is a very athletic and dangerous young wrestler. I am super excited to see PJ in the blue and white.
Miller's corner should've definitely bricked that sequence
It seemed like Duke was a bit worried about Millers pick and didn’t want to walk into anything. It’s tricky though because Duke really needs to get his hands on his opponent to be super effective. The couple times he got to good control ties against Miller he scored easily. Next match I expect him to stalk a bit more and make miller wrestle more from in tight instead of open where he’s best
Definitely different styles Duke scores in a phonebooth and Miller in space. I see Duke keeping a hand on the mat and stalking as well. I have a feeling if they meet again the matches will look way different
I think that may be the problem. Some of the push outs weren't tough enough. Maybe they need to come up with a minimum toughness standard for it to count.
Full Sumo!
Why they're easily 6'5
The dad looks even shorter than the twin sons. Yikes. Maybe Cole has hit the ceiling. Otherwise, he'd be a bowling ball if he gets any more thicker.

They are both shorter than Cael. Are you one of those guys that claims everything is bigger than it actually is?
Bob ain’t paying Bassett what he’s paying Bassett to not also land Melvin
Lol it was a joke off the guy who said Dad was 6'2 270They are both shorter than Cael. Are you one of those guys that claims everything is bigger than it actually is?
I know it was a joke, but if you're gonna tee it up for me.......I gotta swing
Awesome post from Nico! First class human being there.
You and me both. Wish others would realize it's not always so serious 👍I know it was a joke, but if you're gonna tee it up for me.......I gotta swing

Miller has a big frame and it's likely in my opinion that Duke will never wrestle him again in college.
That was sort of my point. Greg has wrestled through a lot of injuries.
Maybe he comes back for another try, but I won't be surprised if he doesn't.
Being a dick, it appears.
Giving him the business or he wasn't sure if the points were actually awarded sometimes in freestyle they don't confirm quick enough. Was one of the 2
Half inch counts for any measurement...and we always round up.They are both shorter than Cael. Are you one of those guys that claims everything is bigger than it actually is?
Looks like he's auditioning for oSu NIL and going for some ride 'em Cowboy style promotional synergy
