Sound like Captain Obvious (even to me), so this weight thing seems to be constant throughout the season. Gotta be tough. Except for the HWT division, these competitors do look like 'slim, trim, fighting machines', with zero excess body fat. I'd probably want to be HWT, and look like a sumo wrestler. Couldn't do what these kids do....

Wrestlers are consistently the hardest working athletes I know, and some of the best people in general because of that.
They are also the most miserable to be around during the season :lol:

I know many C-Suites who will hire wrestlers (college at any level) over just about any candidate because the grind you mentioned teaches them self discipline and control like few other things can. How their availability impacts the team, the day to day practice grind, very little accolades, etc. all make for eventual business leaders.

Also heard it said (by my ex-wrestler Supt), that it's the hardest six minutes in sport. After watching some of the Buckeye matmen go at it, cannot not help but agree. Also said that wrestlers make very good linemen, as wrestlers learn much about leverage, weight shifts, etc.

Hey, don't forget basketball players! The courage and stick-to-itnivess when facing a run by other team, and the grit and determination to climb back out of that hole to retake the lead, probably more than once a game, is also a trait one wants in a teammate, or work candidate.

125kg - Hendrickson over Parris 9-5. Good match.
70kg - Retherford over Lovett 2-1. Zain is still so solid.
79kg - Levi over Marstellar 6-1. And it wasn't that close to be fair.
74kg - James 'OG' Green over Carr 6-3. He was slick...
97kg - Snyder over Buchanan 5-2. Wrestled really well.
61kg - Blaze over Forrest 2-2. Blaze did a really nice job and you always knew he was coming.
57kg - Lee over Luke 7-1. It's what was expected last time, but here we are. Lee looked good.
86kg - Zahid over Dake 3-2. Dake looked better than last time. I still have Dake.

Not entirely certain how that improves things, only rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. If a kid is a wunderkind as a freshman, he's gonna play. If he can help the team, he's gonna play. How his eligibility is arranged, that's on the coaches. And the best players don't stay for their senior years anyway. Let me remind everyone that NCAA stands for No Consistency At All.

Ohio lawsuit alleges new NCAA rule unfairly denies high school Class of '22 athletes a 5th season

Fifteen college basketball players filed a lawsuit in an Ohio state court claiming the NCAA's new age-based model unfairly shuts them out of further competition
abcnews.com abcnews.com

The lawsuit points out that the plaintiffs don't challenge the concept of a defined eligibility period or the five-for-five rule itself.

“Rather, they challenge the NCAA’s application of the rule” that allows players they competed against from the high school class of 2017-20 and 2023-25 an additional year of competition while denying plaintiffs the same opportunity," the attorneys wrote. “The NCAA then compounded the problem by allowing former professional players to compete in their fifth year following high school graduation regardless of the number of professional games they had played, while denying plaintiffs the same opportunity for a fifth year of competition.”
