Olympic Trials 2012

The preliminary plan at PS is for Taylor to stay where he is, Brown to move in at 74, Ruth to move up to 84, Wright to go to 97, and McIntosh to redshirt.

Burroughs is a class act.

I doubt Taylor or Dake make much of an impact. 74 has some pretty proven guys

Burroughs scored 30 points against the best in the world nearly a year ago at the WC's. he won't be touched at trials.

I'm so much better than this guy

yeah i agree. Brown could be the 2nd best 165 pounder next year. Unfortunately, the best is on the same team...

David Taylor can take anyone down and turn them watch for him to master the neutral position and win trials.. Ed Ruth will win trials, his mat skills are scary!!!!

love how everyone has been assuming dake or taylor are gona make the finals. has anyone looked at the field of guys who have already proved themselves in freestyle. dake and taylor are underdogs to make finals IMO.

when DT wins a world title then we can call him The Man. JB will put the smackdown on DT if, and i do mean IF, DT can make the finals.

or die

Even if someone does manage to beat Burroughs at the Olympic Trials, they aren't necessarily on the Olympic team! That person will still have to go to an international tournament this summer and place higher than Burroughs there. If not, JB is going to London, not the winner this weekend.

PHILADELPHIA

DT is the man.

Everyone knows that DT is the most exciting entry to watch at 74kg. Why wouldn't Bader bring up Taylor's name? Dake is a better mat wrestler than he is on his feet, and DT is better on his feet than he is a mat wrestler. FS better suits DT than Dake. There's a lot of talent at 74kg. My prediction is Burroughs DOESN'T get it done.
