TweetSo are we going to have a FG meet up here?
TweetI know jay is back, but besides him what does the list look like. I know most of then but no sure of all of then. And who is your favorite???? Is Kai ever gonna take it?
TweetPhil will take this again easily, jays back so adds some drama but seriously watch for the newcomer out of Egypt...big Ramy. He won't win but top 5 mark my words. Probably this biggest freak we've seen in years. He's only worked out for like three years. He was a fisherman!
Don't forget about Wolf and Jonnie O. I expect Johnnie O jumps up this year in placement. I'm looking forward to seeing how this line up shakes out. Truly 3-10 could be quite the battle. Last few years have been sort of blah in the 5-15 ranks.
TweetWolf is done tho
TweetI just want Kai to win one for the Cinderella story hell
TweetI think kai will be it hopefully. Depending on how jay came back after his injury will tell if he will take it back
TweetI like Kia for sure, dudes hilarious and talks at a normal level to people which is unique to him and select few top pros.
I just don't think he can best Phil, Jay, or Branch...and now there's a new crop of guys coming up...
TweetTrue and with all the politics jay is actually a front runner I would think. As much as branch is a crowd favorite sometimes, he will never win it. Hate to say but most likely we will see Phil or jay at the top. Branch may be top 5 but most likely top ten. And the Middle East kid may very well be the next big thing and for the shock factor could get top 5 also. Only thing is he doesn't have the political side in his favor since he's so little known
TweetRooting for Phil.
TweetHELL YEAH! I WILL BE THERE!
