How Long Will Bono Last at Wisconsin?

When Hamiti came in, I thought this dude was a sure fire NCAA champ. He was lighting people up. Dynamic, funky.

Now? I don’t think he’ll place higher than 4th. He’s the same wrestler he was in 2022.

Not saying it is or could happen, but if he were to hit the portal, I could only image the $$$ that would be thrown his way. He seems to love Wisconsin and Bono, so I don’t see it. But hypothetically I can think it lol

He would do very well wearing a Penn State singlet for a year, he’s perfect for that room style-wise.

Well 165 is crazy deep and I don’t think many would have ever expected him to be able to beat O’Toole or Carr. Although I know some thought he should’ve been able to beat Amine which he can’t seem to do.  Him and Messenbrink could be a fun match.

There were quite a few people picking him to beat O'Toole at the ASC last year, I think?

That said... he is going to be much larger than Messenbrink.  I want to see Messenbrink be tested by a full-sized 165lber before he gets Hamiti.

Looks like he's gotta figure out how to beat the new and improved Ole now.

He had no problem with Cassella, who looked huge. Hamiti is a different problem set, of course.

I don’t think Hamiti has ever wrestled a 165lb guy that gets to the leg so quickly. If he can avoid cradles and can get out from bottom, I think Messenbrink wins that one by 4-6 points.

Is this the same Messenbrink that only beat Haines because of freestyle tricks?  I kid! I kid!

Is this the same Messenbrink that is a Wisconsin kid but another who is not wrestling at Wisconsin?

[JimmyBT]

Bono is a perfect fit for Sconnie.  Extend him.

He needs the Tex thing intermixed.... I had great luck with @nhs67 .... maybe he can cook something up for @TexRef.  If it works out he may want to quit his day job and just start making picture thingys.

He doesn't work. He grills, drinks and does wrestling. If he breaks from that it's only to get meat, liquor and hang out with the grandbabes.

Needs a cowboy hat and a six shooter in that left hand.  Where is @MedicineMan?

I am basically retired at this point and work as a consultant.

I can do this as my day job.

I have also been known to streak through the quad and down to the gymnasium.

Ugh

Does the 'hot seat' on Bono get hotter after Hamiti's loss last night? I know it's just one loss for one wrestler. But it was an interesting result to me.

That low single Olejnik hit had John Smith written all over it. A thing of beauty.

Side note from my original question regarding Bono's 'hot seat':

Olejnik looked good. He's stingy. Hard to score on. Tricky in that whizzer position. Looks as if the transfer has paid off.

[Gantry]

Olejnik indeed looked great, Hamiti always had his number in the past.   Hated to lose him at NIU, but he may have already jumped levels in his short time in Stillwater. 

[Ivan Stankowski]

Serious question. Who does Hamiti have in the room that is going to push him, who is going to help him get to next level?
