swoopdown Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The great mistery for me from the tournaments was that Brands ran off the mat without doing the traditional post-match handshake with Brooks. Why? Forgot? Didn't want to? Embarassed? Had a pressing engagement? Wanted to comfort his wrestler right away? Delegated to an assistant? Does this happen often? Curious if anyone else at the tournament noticed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagao was supposed to be an incoming stud and just hasn't been able to put it together. I still feel like it wouldn't be a shock to see him finish as high as 3rd but I could also see him struggle to make the podium. If he doesn't get it done in KC does Davis bump so LL can go next year? Davis is wayyyy too underdeveloped to hang at 133 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le duke Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Davis is wayyyy too underdeveloped to hang at 133 imo I wonder how many people says the same thing about him this season at 125. He’s now a B1G champ and the #1 seed at NCAAs.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what kind of expectations ppl had for Nagao. His offense looks much better this year but before he transferred he was the double boots and across the throat defense guy, and that didn't tell us much about his ceiling.

BarSeries Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Next year it will be cool to see a 15 year old Davis against 30 year old Fix at 133. Fix still has like 3 more years eligibility, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU is so much better than everybody else now that fans think Iowa is down when Iowa is just having a rebuilding year, which is normal. Iowa is still a legit top 5 team, and will be better next year. I didn't think OSU would beat Iowa in the dual, and I'm an OSU fan. I thought OSU would keep it a little closer but Iowa just kicked the Cowboy's asses that night. Off the topic a bit, but I bet Fix finishes 2nd or 3rd this year if he doesn't amp up the aggression at NCAAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might make a better head coach than John Smith at this point, come to think of it. Fix has never improved in college. Ever.

swoopdown Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 1 hour ago, NM1965 said: Brands has never had any class, why are you surprised? The guy is highly emotional and super competitive. Maybe he couldn't handle it? He's got to be depressed after the gambling thing handed him a bad hand, his one guy in the finals gets blown out and the team result was not up to Iowa expectations. Or doesn't he like Brooks? I not dumping on Brands - I think he's a good coach whose fortunes will turn - could just be a one off with no malice intended but especially because it was a final I gotta wonder why he ignored tradition.

It depresses me he's been at OSU for 6 years now and is still exactly the same wrestler he was 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
