Re: Cruz - Silva Wrestleoff?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics Aside from being Wiki, that doesn’t explicitly state Darian is the rep. It states he qualified the spot for Puerto Rico. I’d like to believe he’s the guy. Just curious as to whether PR has a selection process? Perhaps it took pla...

Re: Cruz - Silva Wrestleoff?

Yes he will represent Puerto Rico. You know that for a fact or is that speculation? I find it difficult to believe Silva would made the cut to 57kg for a ranking series event if he didn't believe he had a chance to be Puerto Rico's rep. Silva is currently UWW's #14 at 61kg. He has previously compet...

Cruz - Silva Wrestleoff?

I see that both are registered at 57kg for the upcoming UWW Ranking Series event in Budapest. Is Darian definitely Puerto Rico's 57kg Olympic rep or is Joey Silva still in the picture? https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12591377-2024-budapest-ranking-series-entry-list Men's Freestyle 57kg Aliabba...

Re: Recruiting Coordinator

Jordan Wood is a young man with a lot of class. Well spoken, confident, approachable, likable - and best of all, home grown. Knows the school, the academics, the coaches, the area - all the dynamics that would enter into a recruits and their parents decision making process. Not sure if a recruiting...

Re: Transfer portal

Ironically, 138 was the last weight that Ryan Crookham wrestled in high school too. Due to PIAA restrictions in Ryan's junior year and Tyler forfeiting his season season to train with Taylor, I don't believe the 2 have ever wrestled each other in high school. I so wanted to see that and Cruz vs Lys...

Particularly if it is for the RTC. If we bring Coleman in, do we get rid of Kerry?

Re: Transfer portal

For the sake of discussion, why not Kasak take his redshirt year, Bartlett returns for his final season (since Starocci and Kirkvliet have already announced they are coming back) and Van Ness and Kasak split 141-149 the next year. Of course, Penn State will continue to bring in top talent in the me...

Re: Rylan Rogers

Dave Craig is a wrestler Lehigh had who likely just did not have the mental aspect of performing at an absolute peak every match. Coming out of FL in his career he would not have had as many high pressure bouts as a PA wrestler year in and year out. The depth of talent was not there. Once he got to...

Re: U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

He is doing it. By way of themat.com Repechage #1 – WIN Alibeg Alibegov (Bahrain), fall, 2:37 Retherford opened up the scoring at the 45-second mark with a front headlock toss for four points. He was countered with exposure by Alibegov during the exchange, resulting in a 4-2 score in favor of Rethe...

Need a 165 in a bad way if Mays stays as well.
