AJ Ferrari Stays Hot

 AJ Ferrari just called out one of the best wrestlers there is to do it. Carter Starocci who is a 4-time national at 174 pounds. There has been a lot of talk about Starocci making a jump up to 197 pounds and how well he would do at this weight. He would also cement his legacy as he would be the first five-time national champion. One of the only people to have a shot at conquering this feat as he gained another year of eligibility from the Covid year. AJ has not wrestled in a while and his tweet made it seem like he was still acting as the top guy. We will see how this plays out this year, but I think AJ just started something he shouldn't have.

2024 World Team Trials

 These past few days the USA World Team Trials were hosted in Omaha. We saw some veteran Olympians compete, as well as some past competitors and college wrestlers. We saw some big named guys like Seth Gross and Austin Desanto get knocked out by some young wrestlers like Marcus Blaze. Marcus was one of the shocking winners in the 61-kilogram bracket as the weight was stacked with great wrestlers. We saw highschooler Jax Forrest take third and take down some more experienced guys that most people expected him to. Returning gold Olympian Jordan Bourroughs made his presence known and made it to the finals as he was set to rematch the person responsible for his last loss.

NWCA All Star Classic

The NWCA Classic is one of the best wrestling to watch for the upcoming college season. We get to see some star-studded matches that could be the NCAA finals matches for the title. The match I will be watching closely is Penn State's Levi Haines vs Ohio State's Rocco Welsh. Rocco was a true freshman last year who had an outstanding year at 174 pounds. Rocco took second facing a four-time NCAA champion last year. Haines was also a finalist but in the lower weight class. This should be an awesome matchup as both wrestlers are young and looking forward to claiming the title soon.

U20 World's Completed

 Team USA had a great showing, and some are calling it close to one of the best. Every single men’s freestyle wrestler placed top three except one. We had one gold medalist, that being Luke Lilledahl. Team USA also had four silver medalists and four bronze medalists. This year we took home a total of 9 medals which is insane. Bo Bassett, who I have previously talked about came in third but had an impressive U20 none the less. Penn State's commits looked good at this competition making them look even scarier for the upcoming season. They are going to be a force this year and could absolutely walk through the Big Ten. Overall had a great performance last week and it shows a promising future for Team USA.
