nhs67 2,099 Report post Posted March 20 I mean... Griffith is still there? Add in that next year is the year before Olympics. If anyone thinks they have a legitimate chance at the 74kg spot, or they have a chance, then they might be thinking about 165lbs for their college weight next season. I am thinking specifically Lewis and Carr. 1 Mohammer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there is a gap between junior world champ and world champ.

I remember these same type of predictions following Mekhi's freshman year. How did that work out for him? Edited March 20 by portajohn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goStanford18 88 Report post Posted March 20 Snyder’s leap was incredible. Pinned in March by Gadson. Beat everyone at the trials and dethroned the defending World Champ in the fall. I don’t predict O’Toole taking out Nolf or IMar this year if they make their way to 74kg (are they staying at 79?), but wouldn’t be too surprised if he did. I’d like to see O’Toole vs. Carr. I have no idea how Deakin makes 70kg, but I’m guessing he’ll challenge Green/Oliver/Retherford instead of Dake and co. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadMardigain 1,637 Report post Posted March 20 Dake wiIl be at toddler age by the time OToole gets a shot at him. It could be like literally taking candy from a baby for him.

Look at JB, Snyder, Cejudo, Gable. Unlikely is too mild a word. JB was 23 when he made that kind of leap, and it wasn’t against a guy of Dake’s caliber. He’s not really that comparable to a 21 year old O’Toole beating Dake. Gable, Snyder, and Cejudo are, but remember Snyder and Cejudo dedicated their most formative years to freestyle, and Cejudo did so exclusively. They were more like the European prodigies that pop up every few years to win world medals than traditional American folkstyle-focused college kids. O’Toole’s best style is still folkstyle. O’Toole could be the guy in 2028. I thought Kharchla was the better freestyle prospect for 74 kg but am now leaning more towards O’Toole, who is improving almost every time I see him while Kharchla arguably didn’t at all this year.
