Agree with most above, and only have a couple things to add...I bet of the limited time I spent watching, that I saw 70% PSU matches vs matches without a PSU wrestler involved. Even on Saturday when ...

PSU are coached (it seems) to wrestle close matches without over-committing to any one position, then countering the other wrestler at the end, without time left for any comeback. They have done this ...

Bucks Recruiting

So not necessarily recruiting news, but a thought that I haven’t seen discussed. If the 5 for 5 rule gets passed. Do we get Mendes for a fifth year?

Agreed. But so is NIL money.
I want to be clear, I have no issue with the government limiting how much a person can earn. But I lean way more socialist than I assume most on this forum do.

Agreed. He just is so rigid. Lacks the fluidity and flexibility of the Russians. He’s good enough to continue to medal but I’m not sure Gold is within his reach anymore.
