He looked gassed and without that turbo speed today.Somebody beat Vito!?! That is a shocker to me. Is something wrong with Vito? Cuz I thought he would roll over everyone in his path this year.
Weight is fine. He got out-folked. Crookham is damn good and a nightmare matchup. Strong and flexible and some really good scrambling ability.after watching that it’s my opinion there is no way vito will be able to get down to 57kg and be effective. it looks like the cut to 133 is not easy anymore
Not to mention if the refs will call stalling on the feet. Vito chased him all over and not a hint of a stall call. Please tell me that this is not the way the refs are going to call (or not call) stalling this year.If Vito finishes the second shot in the first where he got a little sloppy, he's up 6-1 and doesn't need to go for broke in the third. Wins comfortably 7-2.
Of course they are. And it’s bullshit.Not to mention if the refs will call stalling on the feet. Vito chased him all over and not a hint of a stall call. Please tell me that this is not the way the refs are going to call (or not call) stalling this year.

100%. Each year I get closer to thinking we should just do freestyle in college and high school. If we can’t figure out a way to lessen the role that the edge of the mat plays, then eliminate that as a possibility for defensive wrestling. Stalling is absolutely broken now.Of course they are. And it’s bullshit.
Like mekhi literally running to the edge at the end of his match kharchla?
Say what you want about freestyle, but they bang guys IMMEDIATELY for it.
Was he recruited?I knew Crookham was pretty good but I did not know he was the best in the world which he clearly is.
Maybe he just took some time off after the world title. Starting off slow…?after watching that it’s my opinion there is no way vito will be able to get down to 57kg and be effective. it looks like the cut to 133 is not easy anymore
Was he recruited?
Why not?

Why not train year round in the style of the pinnacle of the sport…the Olympics.
You can’t use the edge as a last ditch defensive effort. There’s no escaping a sticky situation by just leaving the mat. Leave the mat in freestyle and you’ve given up a point. If they won’t call stalling then they should at least penalize a guy for leaving the mat. Make it black and white. A step out rule eliminates the need for a ref to judge edge stalling.Probably at least by Lehigh.
They don’t enforce rules in the books for folk style. Why would they suddenly start doing it in FS?

I’m fine with that. Keep the action going or suffer the consequences. This gets us back to a judgement call for the ref but if the only way you can prevent a take down is by using the edge of the mat then I don’t have sympathy for any wrestler being hit with a caution and 1.Plus maybe a caution +1 for fleeing to go with that push out.
Crookham earned the win, but let's just say Vito was not at his top form. He just had the season of his life capped off with a gold at worlds, I would say he most likely lived a bit after. Besides The Ive's are notorious at easing into the season and peaking in March especially the Jr's and Sr's ame especially at Cornell.
'Crookham is completely legit and has to be considered a top 133lber, but my money is on vito late in the season.

We have Teske AND CS. And we like our guys:Was he recruited?

Your shtick has run its course.We have Teske AND CS. And we like our guys:

Good God every thread I see El dumbass saying "we like our guys".
We literally went hard after a 33 lber (Nagao) to replace "our guys".
But hey hopefully we can get a commitment from that O'Toole kid I've been hearing about. Smh.

Could you just put me on ignore, maybe? There’s a thread already outlining the procedure. It might be best.Your shtick has run its course.
Nah. I don't put anyone on ignore. Just wanted to let you know that we heard you the first 20 or so times. We get it. But you keep doing you. Have a good one.Could you just put me on ignore, maybe? There’s a thread already outlining the procedure. It might be best.

Makes sense to me, some of the wrestlers actually use the folk to their advantage. Little bit of a double edged sword.100%.

Agreed, wakeup call for Vito. I don't think he loses another match this year.Crookham earned the win, but let's just say Vito was not at his top form. He just had the season of his life capped off with a gold at worlds, I would say he most likely lived a bit after. Besides The Ive's are notorious at easing into the season and peaking in March especially the Jr's and Sr's ame especially at Cornell.

Kueter pinned the guy he wrestled to win his U20 gold….so yeah good point.Makes sense to me, some of the wrestlers actually use the folk to their advantage. Little bit of a double edged sword.
Taylor and Zain abuse guys with folk moves that their opponents aren't used to countering. Those are the top 2 that come to mind.
In conclusion it would seem that our product woukd be better if we went the world way, which is freestyle.
I thought Keuter in the finals but I couldn't remember. Taylor and Zain use folk all the time.Kueter pinned the guy he wrestled to win his U20 gold….so yeah good point.
I think Ben even alluded to him catching the guy off guard with it.
But hey hopefully we can get a commitment from that O'Toole kid I've been hearing about. Smh.
