Hopefully Shapiro and Haines show up at trials, Marcus Blaze too. I honestly feel extremely confident in this year’s team. No NCAA all Americans but the field is absolutely littered with Cadet and Junior World medalists, that means more to me in a lot of cases than NCAA AAs. Some of these...

Probably don’t want to make weight the second day after they already lost.

Next goat is easy, Amit Elor. Cadet World gold, 3x Junior World gold, 2x U23 Gold, and 2x World gold. And coming soon….Olympic gold.

Brooks is absolutely medaling. We’ll see about Zain, love him at 70 KG still wary of him being down at 65. Really excited to finally see Spencer in the Olympics, think he can give people problems. Congrats to Fowlerville Michigan, population 2,937, 2 Olympic trials champs in Greco, Roberts at...

Had the pleasure of meeting him a number of times, an absolutely great kid too. Still surprised he never did much on the senior level after winning Juniors twice.

Green gassing when down at 65 Kilos is an extremely smart bet. Great at 70, not big enough for 74, to much of a cut for 65, just a classic tweener. For all is international success at 70, he’s never won a match at trials at 65 in multiple attempts

Man what a performance by Jax, jeez that kid is good and so fun to watch. Can’t wait for Trials to see the damage he does there, won’t be the last NCAA champ he beats this spring I’m betting. Shame Bassett didn’t get in with him. 57Kg is wide open, going to be a fun weight.

And have you ever seen Division 4 in Michigan wrestle? Really really low level of competition

That would be a game changer for sure.

Did he though? This was a kid who teched his way to a Junior World title at what is always one of the most loaded weights, 74KGs. Despite his lowly recruiting status as a senior in high school, my expectation's were through the roof after that. We’ve certainly had more than our share of Junior...

Guy Sako is the longtime Westshore head coach, where almost all the St Ed’s kids come from, and father of current St Ed’s assistant Gus Sako. In the interview with Zeb he says both Schork and Whitely are going to St Ed’s. In the interview with Whitely, he confirms he’s going to St Ed’s and says...

Schork was JH runner up at 90 last year to Bickerton. Whitely was JH Champ 2 years ago at 84. Both seem to be at 108 at this weekend’s JH State. 108 seems to lead me to believe 106 will be a tough cut by this time next year, but both would beat McLaughlin imo.

23 straight is incredible and something hardly any high school program in any sport of any size has ever done. Especially for a small public school in the middle of farm country.

Don’t believe Winemiller or Crooks or JH champs yet, that may(probably?) change this weekend though. But yeah that’s what I’m talking about. How many of Crooks, Winemiller, Souders, Hoke, and Stull can they fit in the lineup. Not enough spots for all of them seemingly. Also for returners don’t...
