Wonder what Joe Sealey is going to do? He only lost to James Green taking third at 74KGs. I believe he & James have a relationship & had he had been working with James as a Coach. Joe is in that major logjam at Penn St around 165lb weight classes. Is he going to wait it out & take his chances there? He would be a heck of a 165lber for someone… Thinking about heavy training partners/SERTC. A few 97kg/125kg proven guys like Jonathan Aiello (went to UVA & has really excelled post college/freestyle) & even Hayden Zillmer & Demetrius Thomas - wonder what their aspirations are? Btw - lost in the shuffle big Jimmy Mullen had a pretty strong US Open w/some nice victories including a win over Koy Hopke who had previously beaten him multiple times (believe both in folk & free). Yes Jimmy did benefit from a few MFF - but so did a lot of guys - part of it. Still tough getting by Kerkvliet but perhaps this tourney is a springboard… ** Edited by 133966Hokie at 4/27/2026, 11:33:39 AM
