Duke, Blaze, Mirasola Twins & More — U20 World Team Reactions

In this episode of Basch & The Brain Live on BASCHAMANIA, we react to the news that AJ Ferrari was denied admission at UNC and speculate on Troy Nickerson’s possible return to Army West Point. We then dive deep into the U20 World Team Trials, covering weight-by-weight highlights — including Anthony Knox’s 3 match rebound, Blaze back on the team, Duke’s dominance at 70kg, and Jayden James giving Dee Lockett & the 74kg field a serious push at 74kg. We also talk Henckel’s breakthrough, Mirasola brothers’ dominance, and McEnelly’s gritty win at 86kg. Plus: a U23 Nationals recap and Willie’s next move with Real American Freestyle.
