Techs and Falls

Today is a happy day, but emotionally I'm all over the place. I am grateful to Coach Veres for bringing me in so close and allowing me to be a small part of this team. 8 seasons = 3× PIAA Tournament Team State Champions + a slew of runner-up & 3rd place Dual/Tournament finishes.

@MrPatMineo Truck's fans should naturally be referred to as The Truckers. That being said, what a great kid he is. He's focused, he's polite, he doesn't get in trouble and he displays a ton of gratitude for everyone and everything around him. Tucker is solid.

This kid Tucker Perl is a whole vibe. 💪🏼 #TuckTheTruck #SpongeBobWrestler

@InfaWrest I would say it's more a matter of lacking elite depth at the HS level. Pretty sure scholarship breakdowns used to show guys who projected as HWTs & career 125s were the most likely to receive funding, especially full rides.

What do we think about this take? Are the lightest and heaviest weights easier than the middle of the pack weights? This applies for both Folkstyle and Freestyle imo, give me your thoughts 👇

🔵🟡Congrats to Freestyle State Medalists. Each wrestler qualified for Freestyle Nationals in July. Great job. Retos 🥈 Shear 🥉 Schwartz 4th Knorp 4th

POV: You Asked Reddit Instead of the Coach.

@DustinPoirier @DinThomas and @chrisweidman all saw the fight 48-47 for @KChimaev – I agree, but I also have zero complaints with 48-47 @SStricklandMMA . The new champ looked tough tonight.

Ok I'm just gonna delete all that sh*t I talked saying I thought @SStricklandMMA was gonna get beat up tonight and pretend I never said it. I'm not leaving a legacy of bad calls behind after I die. High character Octagon interview by the new undisputed champion too. 🫡 #UFC328

@RosssEdmonds @ufc Are they going to have them face off tho? Heard rumors they were thinking about cancelling.

UFC Embedded never fails. Tonight’s weigh in face off is gonna be interesting .. 👀 @ufc #UFC328

@RosssEdmonds Holy sh*t his signature isn't even gonna look the same after that. He'll just be scribbling from now on.

Spinning wheel kick knockout! That landed perfectly! Excellent technique! 💥

Phase 2 of the @RAFWrestlingUSA business model as I understand it. Next steps are the weekly reality TV show and/or weekly live broadcasts, then international events, followed by major global broadcast/streaming deals. themat.com/news/2026/may/…

@njaysr He looks like he's gonna get big. Question for you, how do handle strength training and diet when your sons have very different goals?

Keep working…..

@notawrestler_x @CPyles8 Me too, especially after today with the guys saying they think Kasak might be the odd man out. Unless it's medical, I just don't see how he's not the guy at 157. That was the whole plan!! And not for nothing, but Kasak was winning that Ironman match when PJ defaulted.

@TechsAndFalls @CPyles8 Yeah I don't think he's cut weight in quite a while. He weighed in a couple pounds under the limit at the Open. I agree though he will likely grow a good bit in the next couple years. Kasak should have the spot, but I worry about his health

Go ahead and send those FRL questions! Thanks. See you tomorrow at 10 AM ET.

@Captain_Lil_Joe @CPyles8 You're absolutely right. That actually occurred to me after I posted it, but it was too late so I just figured they'd get the jist. 😁

@TechsAndFalls @CPyles8 Well he's a junior, so not technically an underclassman.

@notawrestler_x @CPyles8 Ya think? He did wrestler 165 most of the year. I don't know how tall he is, but he looks like he's going to get big. He's a younger senior too, no telling where that dude ends up, but you could be right about 157 for next year. I don't know that he can beat Kasak tho. 😬

@TechsAndFalls @CPyles8 Jayden is like 165 max. I think he'll be competing for the 157 spot this year
