As far as Brooks vs Yazdani. The key is what is Yazdani's current level. If Yaz comes in at close to 100% it will be very tough for Brooks. Yazdani is 29 years old, he better be 100% because this is probably his last chance.
Yazdani is already olympic and world champ. He has nothing to prove. I think age plus the long injury time (9 months) he had to deal with will slow him down and Brooks is high energy. The 2 questions will be: Can Yazdani hang with brooks for 6 minutes? Can Brooks deal with Yazdanis hand fighting?
I love David, but man is it annoying when you don’t actually answer a question. Like, bro….will Aaron be able to deal with the underhook? Will Yazdani be able to win in the hand fighting? Etc etc. We want your OPINION man! Don’t give us dumb news reporting answering saying they’re gonna have to prepare !! Give us substance
Maybe he doesn't have an opinion on who will win and thinks it's a tossup. Maybe he doesn't want to get dragged with a "sour grapes" moniker if he says Yazdani. Maybe the interview was supposed to be about OSU wrestling and he was asked a question for which he was unprepared. Like it or not, he's now representing a program and a University, with only 6 weeks on the job. His opinions aren't only his anymore and the prudent thing for him to do is exactly what he did.
As a Iranian have lots of respect and love for David Taylor . Good luck .👍🏼
Let's go David Taylor 🎉
I’m glad to see this interview. I’ve been wondering how things have been going there.
Excited to see what David can do!
Fr im looking forward to seeing how his team does
I’m hoping he can get a good team together to compete with PSU. I have high hopes for his ability to develop guys.
So excited about OSU furure!
Can’t wait for next season.
love updates on OSU & Taylor
GREAT INTERVIEW JD
Ohhhh head coach!!
Sounds happy with no Penn State on the schedule year one
I think most coaches would agree. 😂
Yazdani is the happiest wrestler in the world as well as the biggest Okie State supporter 😂 Word is he’s one of the biggest okie state boosters!
Kinda like Snyder is sooooo happy Sadulaev is banned. But oh, wait, there is Ahmed Tazhadinov. Another Dagestani... That sux!
David Taylor needs to make Lusiano Lopez his first 197 protege.
Wrestling protégé?
Good move for DT and OK. Good for the sport and good for the USA.
DT is the man. So how about Dake becomes the RTC coach after the Olympics?
Absolutely
Pretty sure they already have one??
I'm a blue fan, but I love what DT will bring to the tournament. This will make the craft even better.
Who transferred out of OSU and Taylor got there? I couldn’t imagine that being a good decision.

Last chance for what? He already has a gold medal...

DT was really trying not to say brooks ain’t gonna make it
😭
He was asked his opinion, he gave it. The interviewer did not ask him to blow smoke up their butt.
I think he's excited. He only said excited 28 times.
I wanna see what he can mold lockette into
