Easy to say.  He is going to get better. I’m not counting him out.

Yes, but this was a weak weight, and both those guys special wrestlers.  I don't think Haines, while good, is that kind of special. 

[CHROMEBIRD]

Old man strength, check! I'm going after Haines next season

Really happy for Austin O’Connor. Guy is a warrior. I’m glad he took over from neutral in the 3rd so I didn’t have to hear about the second round ankle ride lol 

Win for the south and the south side lol

[VakAttack]

Let's go KOT!

[Formally140]

I genuinely want both of these guys to win. Ugh 

[headshuck]

The shuffle kills 45 seconds off each of Carrs matches.

[Pinnacle]

Kot with the archer pose

[D3 for LU]

Perhaps there will be Extra Time for wrestling?

Congrats to the TarHeel's O'Connor... goheels gotta be a Happy Camper!

AOC is 25 year old 6th year senior defending champ. Haines is 18 year old true freshman. 
 

The man strength and experience was the difference. AOC big brothered him.

He's pretty special.  He's only 18 years old unlike other prodigies that are graduating high school at 19 years old.

[pawrestler]

Illegal level of shot defense right there

[Dark Energy]

Carr’s shuffle makes it so that he must win.  

How did he defend like that?  Always amazes me.

[CHROMEBIRD]

That's gonna sap KOT a bit

[D3UC157]

Is that Kegan’s first takedown of Carr?

in their three matches

KOT solved the Defense there. Has been living on Carr’s legs.

[Mike]

Carr seems too cocky right now. He needs to settle down and lock in. KOT looks significantly better right now and all over his legs.

I'm talking about from a skills perspective.  Nolf scrambled in next level ways.  Nickal had his leverage and upper body stuff.  Zain was a literal grizzly bear on top.  Haines is very good, but his skillset, so far, isn't that kind of special, where I think Carr and KOT both do have that kind of next level skills.

Yes. Haines isn’t flashy.

Those guys were 2 years older when they came onto the scene at NCAA's.  

[pawrestler]

Carr almost had that cradle

[CHROMEBIRD]

Carr needs to attack

[pawrestler]

Why is ISU challenging

[CraigOR]

Did Carr have control for the 2?

AOC is an older, stronger, more experienced, savvier version of Haines?

Utter bollocks, as my Brit friends say! Haines is just good?? He's not special?? After what you've seen in B1G and NCCAs?
