Is Marcus Blaze U17 or U20. Why isn't he on any list. I know he is on the Senior Olympic roster. Does it make him ineligible for U20 or U17?

[Paul158]

According to all the talk about Duke I would think he would be number 1 at 70Kg.

I think the cut is pretty insane for him so he may be taking some time off and just doing the u20 trials. Duke is more than likely going to finish top2 I am just quite high on gilcher I thought he looked good at the LCQ despite being quite undersized and Cannon is funky and wrestles at a crazy pace and I think has been making big jumps so hes probably a bit of an out of pocket pick but I'm going with it.

Can’t wait to see Dreshaun Ross not only here but at the world level

[poorwrestler]

I’m not biased or anything, but I’m picking McEnelly at U20 86kg, Nelson at 92kg, and Hopke at 125kg

Why isn't there any discussion about this tournament? Some great wrestling. This PJ Duke kid is colder than an ice road trucker.

Lilledahl and PJ Duke just murdered their opponents.

Duke is just a junior and beat the tar out of Webster, who was ranked in the top 10 by WS before they kept him in RS.

Is Mike Macc associated with Blair? Or Penn State? Just coached two incoming PSU kids.

Is Mulvaney no longer at Bucknell? Wrestling for AWA and Ben is in his corner.

And Webster beat Mendez fairly recently... Just to put things in perspective.

Webster got a lot, lot bigger.

I’d bet he goes 157 this year or next.

Ben Askren running around in his bare feet pissing off the refs / judges lmao. 

[Le duke]

Josh Barr and Alex Facundo both wrestle the same way, and it’s going to frustrate the hell out of me this year. Lots of forehead on mat, both hands on opponents hips, nothing happening.

Both very good defensively but they just don’t set up their shots very well.

He definitely didn't have much for Sinclair surprisingly. We'll see if Sinclair redshirts or not but he's a beast.

Macch helps out with KD trained where Duke is associated. That’s why he was in his corner. 
 

Macch and Joe are both NC kids. He has known Joe for a long time. 

[Threadkilla]

Whats up with Forrest getting teched by Mendoza?    I haven't seen the match.

[cangemi]

PJ Duke in last 3 weeks is making a statement

60-0 takedown NHCSA

U 20 Pretty dominant with higher comp.

Don't sleep on Lockett's performance, but Duke definitely stole the show. 
Loved seeing the talent we're soon to get at the NCAA level, and the future of Senior Level.

mulvaney was an awa kid In high school not sure about Mike macc

[Truzzcat]

PJs Judo background is super evident in his wrestling not someone you want to get in any upper body exchanges with. I expect he gets Webster again at trials and I think it'll be a little closer the score was a wider margin than the skill gap on the mat felt like at least to me.

Webster is going to have to go through the entire field to see PJ at U20 WTTs. This weekend they both had to do it, but PJ sits until the best 2 of 3 final next time. That’s a tough hill to climb and PJ is quite the final boss.

That said, if Webster can win 4, 5 or 6 matches and then take 2 from PJ, he’ll have earned it, for sure.

Wouldn't Meyer Shapiro, the defending world champion at U20 70kg, be the guy sitting in the finals at WTT if he goes there?

Is he U20 eligible?

Pretty darn sure that by winning the US Open, you sit to the best of three for U20s.

Connor Mirasola seems pretty sure he’s sitting out to the best of 3.
