The first six seconds of that interview are all you need to see. That smile on Cael's face says it all. Great stuff in the rest of the interview, but that smile, though.
World Championships - Oct. 20-28
- Thread starter dmm53
- Start date
you might see the opposite, good on you. However, outside PSU wrestling, D1 coaching and probably the small group of message board warriors, casey doesnt have the name nor get the recognition that Cael does. thats just a fact and thats what Im referring too and im guessing you knew that.
As for the rest of your post, right on.
Behind Flo's paywall, a nice short interview with Casey.
Closes with "I don't know how many times Bo Nickal has had Dave in an underhook over the last month."
So yeah--Bo's been gearing up for the season training with literally the best in the world....Makes me want to revise my odds on who gets a pinfall in Conel vs. Nickal. At least 95-5 now.

I believe Stieber has yet to medal in 3 tries at Sr Worlds. Historically that isn't uncommon, but given the success lately that sort of stands out.
Might be time for Yanni
I pretty sure Stieber has now represented the US in 3 Sr World Championships without getting a medal.
Obviously he's the best we've got at that weight right now, but I've got to believe there will soon be some young guns after his spot.

You mean we can’t start a thread complaining about his lack of respect?
Logan does have a World Gold--but it was a while back now. You think Yianni over Zain? Or do you think Zain is going 70 next year? JO is probably still in the mix too.
Edit:
2016
Steiber has a world gold at 61kg. It was well earned but the way he wins his matches (12-10 scores are typical) isn't a recipe for long-term success in FS. He can be scored on too easily, and even though he can dig himself out of holes, opponents become harder to score on when they go up 6-0.
The US has had problems at 65kg for awhile, which is odd given how deep we've been at that weight class--Zain, Stieber, JO, Frank. I'm hoping Zain, now with folk out the way for good, can bump up a level and take over. The last time Zain went on a hiatus he came back a far better wrestler.

Cholley, for future reference, you don't need to paste the embed code for most social media sites (FB, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr), just the link itself, and Rivals parses it accordingly.
Zain rramatically improved in both of his breaks. With the first, he won Cadet Worlds and had a dominant HS SR year. With the other, he terrorized college wrestling.
Can't lie. PSU's "redshirt" year is scary for the rest of the freestyle world. It's clear that Nolf and Zain are ready to take the next step.
It will be an interesting year. Some guys will wrestle down for their Olympic weights. And will Nickal challenge DT for the spot or wrestle 92?

I am fairly certain the number is north of 95 that Bo would be the one getting the pin.
Zain’s 2017 close loss at Worlds doesn’t look so bad right now. Batirov is killing it at 70KG. Hopefully he can win the Gold
Can't just pummel people. Need to actually shoot to freaking score.
Just saying.
Just saying.
Just a thought, but decent possibilitiy next year Spencer replaces Gilman, Zain replaces Lougie and Jason replaces Green. 3 PA boys, with DT 3 PSU kids.
Damn man. Fun times.
Damn man. Fun times.
I had a similar thought to this and was just about to post this after Gman loss and reflecting on the team race.
Call me crazy, but we win this year with those 3 competing.
FIFY: Sanayev was hit with a caution and one flying douchebag, flaming. #gottahurt
I certainly won't call you any crazier than me, I believe that would have been a strong possibility.
