    Considering the obstacles Iowa faced this year

    I strongly believe the biggest loss from the gambling probe was Nelson Brands. He was on a roll and his trajectory was straight up. He was wrestling as well as anyone and could have been a top three guy. That is a good addition in points. Cass is top five all day long. Those two alone...

    Lugo, was the #1 seed... Sad outcome for him.

    Desanto & Lee on Flo

    Actually, he said in the interview with Bader that the only year he could run was the COVID year. Nice to hear him say he's healthy, running and training normally now. What a journey he traveled.

    Agree with your post. My entire point was that the current process needs to be altered, tweaked, examined. Your comments support this approach. I agree.

    west2east thinks everything is perfect and nothing should be tweaked, adjusted, altered or reconfigured based on current status of the world? I guess, we can keep this process for the next century. Smart thinking! I wonder if our businesses or any business should just say, this is what we do...

    You stated that he had not wrestled a senior international match. Quit moving the line? :) You were wrong and try to come back with Commonwealth Games... International or not he has been wrestling in international competition since 2016 from what I could see. Also, you are ignoring my...

    West2East, you need to get your facts straight. You are digging into this issue and keep espousing statements as facts to support your perspective that I keep having to correct. That's okay, let me help you out again. No problem and I don't mind the education. First round of the Farrell, Lee...

    I guess you're not counting the Bill Farrell which was a Senior International event. Or did you simply forget? It was earlier this year, oh, wait, the same year as our qualifying event? Where the tournament is held at is immaterial. It was an international Senior level event. No, I am not...

    Your point makes intuitive sense, but practically is not a process that guarantees we send the best person for the job of qualifying the weight. Good example, Zane has lost matches at his last three tournaments whereas Lee has won the last three tournaments. Zane had one good year and hasn't...

    Pan Ams, Qualifier

    This is EASY: Gilman Vito Lee Are just three guys in that bracket that encouraged RBY to get the hell out of the USA.

    Pan Ams, Qualifier

    Countries like Russia send the guy they think is best to qualify their country. Thus, they are always qualified. I understand a specific criterion to make the team, qualify for the trials etc. The process of qualifying the weight can be entirely the call of the national staff. The fact we...

    And they have to travel to Turkey. Deal with time zones, lost travel days and it's only a few weeks after what will be a gladiator type weight.

    Pan Ams, Qualifier

    So, Mexico and Puerto Rico will be in the Olympics and USA might not be. Stupid process. What has Richards done this year? Are you kidding me? Also, as far as "well they take the top three" argument... This is real life. Guys wake up in the morning throwing up, sick, hell they might get...

    Pan Ams, Qualifier

    I can't believe Spencer Lee was in the country the week prior and has won the last three competitions and they send Richards. I wonder if other world powers in wrestling would have sent Richards? I know why they did, but our criteria and process stinks. We are the top nation in the world in...

    VEN gutted RBY, so RBY better not give up a TD:-)

    Pan Ams, Qualifier

    I'm still laughing at the post last week that stated, all of the guys in Spencer's weight last week would be beaten by Iowa High School State Champs. I guess Iowa High School wrestling has really improved:-) How many high school kids lose to RBY by a score of 10-6 and the guy from VEN wasn't...

    Spencer at Pan Ams Sat

    Pan Ams has always been a tournament that the United States has done well in. In the past there has been individuals that has given us issues. There used to be a Cuban at 125 that was tough. In Spencer's bracket this time, the Columbian has placed 9th in a previous World Championship, and it...

    Spencer at Pan Ams Sat

    I'm just going by what I've heard from the room in State College that the cut is brutal. I'm just saying it's a hard cut. I know guys in the room at Penn State and they have said it's brutal. Also, just look at the NCAA Champions picture from 2021. RBY is next to Spencer. He is taller...

    Spencer at Pan Ams Sat

    The weight is a real challenge for RBY. I thought he looked off in France. He beat Deshawn 2-1 and didn't look good. That tournament in France had a 2-kilo allowance so he made 130. Lee ran Deshawn off the mat this year. Nico was more dominant over Deshawn than RBY. I am interested in...

    Why did Suriano pull out of Senior Nationals?

    The fact he registered and didn't show up tells me that he might be bigger than he thought....
