Who's starting at 174 this season?

[RoarLions1]

sorry i missed the winky face letting everyone know i was joking. will edit.

Kidding or not, glad you brought it up, as some would misread his handle and assume the same thing. Not unlike D-Ringer's @ringing57, even though he went 165 two years. It's just a twitter handle, but had fans literally baffled why he wouldn't change his handle.

However, it is much more understandable in the case of Zahid. I mean, after all, he is absolutely humongous for his weight.

And he's starving his brother.

What's happened in college makes you forget Zahid was the #2 ranked Valencia coming out of high school.

Mark Hall can wrestle 174 and qualify at 74kg. He just needs to return to the size he was as a freshman which was around 174-177. He won that year at NCAAs. Win Win!

And it wasnt really even close.

And it wasnt really even close.

Huh? Zahid was a top 3 national recruit that year.

Well with classes starting today, the following of which have been speculated are in the Penn State directory as either grad or undergrad students,
Mark hall (could still RS)
Shakur Rasheed
Kyle conel
Anthony Cassar

Dang it. No Anthony Echemendia

Maybe after WCAP and a year's worth of Rosetta Stone language tapes

Thanks for the info! (... assuming I interpreted it correctly. I deserve a medal for trying to understand your sentence structure! )

I think he means Anthony was the consensus #1.

Not sure how much this applies. But on the Rudis podcast, Daton Fix said that their compliance said he could stay in school and take the Olympic. Not sure any farther than that or if our compliance agrees. But directory listings may mean nothing instead of maybe something.

What am i doing wrong? I don't see Mark's name come up in the directory

Mark J Hall II

He’s there.

 

[LemonPie]

Mark J Hall II

He’s there.

Ah, Got ya. Have to add the "II" to Hall. Thanks

On the recent Flo broadcast, Flo guys saying they don't expect Mark to ORS.

Of course these are the same guys that a week ago said he would ORS.

Then they used BWI as their source, now they use Twitter.
Edit, sorry, Instagram. A post with Mark and Cenzo labeled #SRSZN

I remember reading at the time that one reason no Valencia came to PSU was that Cael offered $$ to only one of them. Does anyone know/remember which Valencia Cael liked better?

In Roar’s great explanation, which I’m too lazy to find, I thought I read that attending school part-time was okay.

Paraphrasing.. It's OK by NCAA Rules, which even allow for the U.S. Olympic Committee or U.S. Governing Body to pick up the expense of school, with some limitations. The student-athlete DOES become a "counter", and this "financial aid" counts against the 9.9. I'm with E-J, it does not make sense for most, as they need to be all-in for their challenge to win an Olympic spot.

I don't recall anything of the sort, and that doesn't make much sense.

Maybe Cael offered one full ride to be split between them, and that got misinterpreted as all for one and none for the other?

I think Anthony and Zahid flip-flopped in relative rankings after Hall destroyed A Valencia their Sr year (I believe it was at the WNO).

i think valencia, cael would look great in a blue and white singlet in 2022

Zmoney to 184

HR will claim that Mark is ducking Zahid by staying at 174. This does seem to help PSU'S title chances in my opinion, assuming Mark goes at 174 this year. Not that he can't beat Zahid, because he has. But....Mark would be the clear favorite at the weight now.

Mekhi and Kem-dawg may have some say, but I tend to agree.

Mekhi can say whatever he wants while he's taking his Olympic redshirt.

Sooooo, is Iowa still trending towards those 150 points ?!

The theory of relativity strikes again!

oh, right.

Just don't see Kemerer beating Mark. Just don't see it. Kem couldn't score on Nolf, who gave up the occasional takedown. How in the heck is he gonna score on Hall?

 

[McScoreley]

I see Mark wrestling Myles Amine in the NCAA Finals this year .... I think it'll be a 1 point match ... I won't say who I think will win

I don’t disagree, but i could see Kem in the finals. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen him wrestle though—and never at 174, so who knows?

Good chance Amine takes an Olympic redshirt as he wrestles for San Marino.

Seems to be some "unknown" about the progress of Kem's rehab...... I'll wait until I see him wrestle.

Close, but the actual story will be -- or may have already been (I've been off the boards a few days) -- that Mark planned to take an ORS, was on the fence after Carl threatened to take away scholarship and promised post-graduation club $$$ if he didn't compete for PSU this year, and then finally flipped when he saw Zahid was vacating 174.

Ultimately, Mark outslimed Carl -- he wrestles for PSU this season, keeps all his promised $$$, but technically doesn't do it on Carl's terms.

Who was it who said Hall would be an heir-apparent to Carl's coaching throne in 2034? Seems about right.

Yeah, for as injured as Kemerer has been over his brief Hawkeye career, I'll believe he's a NCAA finals candidate when he makes it past B1Gs looking the part. He hasn't wrestled a collegiate match since March 2018, nor a collegiate match at 174 since ever.
