If that's the criteria (points at Bigs and NCAA) then it's a moot question without a crystal ball. Accordingly, the black holes last year were 125, 141, 149, 157, and 184, and at 2 of those weights we had a 3x and 4x AA. The fact that Iowa took 4th with basically 6 weights is pretty impressive actually.
Rocky has an injury history, but it has never kept him from being an AA, minus this med RS year. MU is really high on Aedon Sinclair. Sinclair is an absolute stud. From what I hear around the MU room, Sinclair might be better than Elam. FWIW, I was hearing that in October 2024.
He definitely as an equal or better ceiling but Sinclair is at 84 and only filled in at 97 because Elam was out. McEnelly and Sinclair will have some great battles with Angelo the next few years.
Sinclair is going 86kg U20 but then 92kg SR which is odd if he's a 184
If you had ever met or even spoken to that NCAA finalist, you would understand. He was an absolute team cancer from the time we wrestled together on Southern Plains teams through his time at MU. Dude was toxic and weird AF.
Melvin took 5th at u17 worlds last year . I am assuming he is out of U17 eligibility because he competed at Fargo's Junior last year
Hey chief, are you dumb? Is that appropriate for a moderator to jump into the gutter?
Feels like it was mutual between Mizzou and Rocky. Time for Mizzou to see what Sinclair can do at 197, and an opportunity for Rocky to finish out his career somewhere else. Going to be interesting to see how the Rocky/Sinclair match(es) go next year!
I haven't talked to anyone, but I would say this is accurate. Sinclair is more than ready.
I think that's more certain now with Elam out
Maybe now with Elam gone but he certainly was going 84 before Elam's injury and had plans to go back down next year. But it would make sense because they can use Hawks at 84 and Sinclair at 97, and they have no legit backups or incoming recruits at either weight.
