The strategy to beating Vega is likely the same from the Haines vs BA match

Haines shot on BA, then BA sat the corner and got funky and pinned him. The pin didn’t get called but that was a pin! I digress. Haines survived but still shot again, but next time he lifted BA off the mat negating his funk. The Vega run last year was insane but he will not be that successful at 149 with a year for coaches to prepare for him. Another undefeated season without giving up a TD all season will not happen again. Hats off to him if he does it again and I’ll own that statement in March if he does. BA pinned Haines, and that’s the last time I’ll say it, at least for tonight. Go Hokies

The predictions have NC St very down**
richkhokie • 07/29/26 11:33 AM ET
They lost a chunk of talent from last year's team.
Hokiemacho • 07/29/26 02:32 PM ET
And to be honest, I think they slightly underrated VT
VTwinsdad • 07/28/26 09:34 AM ET
I don't necessarily think we're rated unfairly
Hikinghokie • 07/29/26 09:43 AM ET
JD did end up moving Sasso on to the podium

Got a link to the prediction?**

Caleb at 4th? That’s enough to piss him off and win his second title.**
ChEHokie78 • 07/28/26 06:00 PM ET
Well to be fair, the older guys generally have underperformed
GreenvilleVT • 07/29/26 02:07 PM ET
Fair point but Caleb's extra year was a true RS not a medical or a free
donjfs3 • 07/29/26 09:15 PM ET
We should all spam The Hitman on social media with this crap prediction.

Maybe a haircut will help. It did for Sasso at ACCs.**
UpperQuad • 07/28/26 08:21 PM ET
I haven't had a chance to listen to FRL yet but that does seem a bit off
donjfs3 • 07/28/26 09:51 AM ET
Yes, they have Vega winning 149

emhokie • 07/29/26 08:21 PM ET
Say it anytime, love it**
ValveHokie • 07/31/26 01:09 PM ET
To add some color BA definitely pinned Levi (needed to be said again)**
donjfs3 • 07/30/26 05:46 PM ET
I'm not picking Vega to be an undefeated 4 timer
Hikinghokie • 07/28/26 03:53 PM ET
If that's how it plays out we have a legit chance at 2 titles
donjfs3 • 07/28/26 11:40 AM ET
I like Bo over Stanich and Jax
Hikinghokie • 07/28/26 04:01 PM ET
Pace gives Bo the edge. Don’t think he has a size advantage over Jax
CTDad • 07/29/26 04:20 PM ET
I definitely think Jax has a bigger frame
Hikinghokie • 07/29/26 04:43 PM ET
Agree on Bo's current strength, he was ragdolling grown men at 65kg
donjfs3 • 07/29/26 07:21 PM ET
Campbell
Hokie2000x • 07/30/26 08:13 AM ET
2000....has Campbell been given the green lite for full activity and
wasris • 07/30/26 08:38 AM ET
Great Question
Hokie2000x • 07/30/26 02:00 PM ET
I can see that**
