  1. I am not disputing any of that, really. Prevailing wisdom should dictate, though, that his #1 Assistant would not be a home run HC hire, right? Even if he had no say in anything, the indifference to the shit show in Wiscy is also not okay, right? I am trying to make sense of it because I actually want Reader to be a rockstar of a HC at CMU (if he gets the job) for the next 20-30 years.
  2. Nope. I was sincere. I could have been mean. Words hurt, though, and I didn't want to be the one causing harm this fine evening. My response was deliberate. There was no pretending.
  3. We do agree here, if by 'no' you agree that it is ~5%. Brooks still has to get through a rested Valencia too, gents. Valencia will have one match to Brooks' three by the time they meet. Then the winner gets a rested DT.
  4. Well you're about as bright as a wet noodle there, bud. (I joke, so don't get all hurt and shit) All of your points are layered in ignorance, with all due respects. First off, you ignored the first majority of the post. I don't even think DT loses. Second off, yes he would be upset with a loss. Anyone in that scenario would be. In the end, he would also be proud of his good friend, and student. Third off, he (DT) has cited that he does and has trained with everyone in the room, sans Kerk because Kerk is a monster. Lastly, if he loses? I think the shoes are left on the mat. Please keep in mind I prefaced much if this with a 'with all due respect' and I meant no disrespect. You genuinely seem to want one of our GOATs to look like a douche his last time on a mat, though. To believe these gents (DT, KD, Starocci) can't grow, which they have shown signs of such wisdom, is wrong.
  5. Now I am one of the bigger detractors that has no actual horse in the race... but why does Bono get the full brunt of his Wiscy failure? I find myself pretty excited about the idea of Reader to CMU... but Reader has been there with Bono the whole time, yeah? Maths isn't mathing.
  6. I would be 100% on board with this.
  7. Oh, wow. I didn't even notice him. He could slot in as a 184lber as well, I think.
  8. It is a digital age. Some might be able to finish everything digitally. It also likely depends on the situation. I believe Saldate leaving has nothing to do with ill-will. He likely will be allowed to train with the team, and he should be allowed. He put four solid years in.
  9. Two are Frosh at other colleges and extremely happy. Two are injured and done. One has been wrestling 132 and 138. The moat realistic one is the true frosh dropping ~10lbs.
  10. Appears Saldate has landed already as well...
  11. A couple of interesting entries in to the portal that could thrive in the right environment. Iowa's Bretli Reyna at 149lbs (People's Champion) Utah Valley's Evan Bockmon at 197lbs (19W - 9L on the season, NQ)
  12. Obviously some coaching changes could shake up a few rosters and make them seem almost, if not actually entirely different than last year. Given what we see right now and what we could see, I think there are a few teams that come to mind that could make another leap next season... and I don't think either of them are Stanford (with Koll's massive recruiting class) or North Carolina (I think he is at least a season away - if not two - from a trajectory leap there). Cal Poly, Chattanooga, and Illinois. Cal Poly They came in to the season with high expectations and because their upward trajectory didn't seem to pan out and LRA came 'out of nowhere' it can be ignored that they had a comparable season to last year. That is still a massive improvement for 3/4/5 years ago. If they were to play with their lineup a bit and get a solid incoming transfer (or two - ahem Saldate), they could make another step forward. They will need to with OSUW, ASU, and LRA all improving as well. I want to see them land Saldate (I will explain what I, as a fan, want to see below). They either need an incoming 141 125 - Mendez, SO 15W - 12L 133 - Romney, SO 19W - 9L 141 - Heracules Windrath, TrFR - He will need to live to his name... 149 - LEGEND Lamer, SR 15W - 12L 157 - CHANCE Lamer, JR 19W - 7L 165 - Wick, SO 14W - 12L - Coming off Injury 174 - Saldate, SR 25W - 8L - Incoming Grad Transfer 184 - DASCHLE Lamer, FR 8W - 4L 197 - Priest, SR 9W - 9L OR Hodges, FR 4W - 3L 285 - Tinker, JR 11W - 7L Their only true hole will be at 141lbs and I understand their valley could be right where they are now, depending on injuries, but their peak could be an outright P12 title. Saldate a double bump? Why? Because I don't think Wick has the strength, even if he has the length, to go 174lbs. I would be okay with the swap, though. Saldate could have a helluva chance for content on social medias with 'bulking' or whatnot. I think the 'smaller' Lamer brothers swap and both will see an increase in productivity. Big Lamer will wrestle outside his weight class for a season, though. He'll be fine as I think he should focus on 184lbs long-term anyways. Priest? He is a 165lber at heart, but he always gives it his full-go. Anyone else care to give it ago? With a breakdown with hows and whys? Illinois and Chattanooga to follow...
