Which version of BB do we see against Mendez? Super Beau or Beau-ring Bartlett? It was nice to see him put up some points yesterday. Also, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe Kharchla should sit this one out and save it for Big Tens. He's obviously still a little banged up and has seemed maybe a half step off this season. Usually that's good enough to win, but not against Haines.

You'll see the lose 4-1 in SV1 Beau Bartlett!

Ohio State continues to be a team that's hard to get a good read one. They didn't put all of their guys out there, but I don't know how the Buckeyes can feel anything but uneasy about its upcoming date with Penn State after the dual with IU. 

Angel Escobedo doesn't have all the top talent, but his guys scrap...except DJ Washington. He does something else. 

Penn State can win 9/10 if it sends everyone out.

What's up with DJ Washington? Dude beat starocci and I haven't heard much about him since. I thought he would have a much better career.

This year it's probably HEW, if I had to guess. 

I wasn't sure he'd have any sort of college career. My lasting image of him from HS was Brayton Lee breaking him in the HS state tournament (17-2 TF) when Lee was a senior and Washington was a Junior. Washington also lost the next year in the state final to a guy who wrestled at Ohio (Slivka). Basically, that one match against Lee made me pause and wonder if he had the sort of mentality it took to succeed in the B1G - even understanding the level that Lee was on at that time. 

But...then he went from never winning an Indiana HS title to beating Starocci two years later. You don't do with without talent. 

All-in-all, I think his career has been pretty successful, even if it appears he had the potential for more. I'll fully admit that I was wrong about him in college. That's a credit to him and Escobedo.

Obviously the dual won’t be close but I am excited for 141. I think the Mendez Vombaur match was a one off, because I’ve never seen someone get to his leg like that repeatedly. But the match that is most interesting to me is 174. Kharchla has looked solid this year but Im interested to see how big the gap between him and Haines is

I'm also wanting to see how Mendez does. He really did not look anything like the normal Mendez. He might have been a little under the weather. Kharchla is looking good so far. This will be a good match to see where he is.

He was consistently ranked in the top 12 range of 174.  Only reason I remember him is because he got pinned by Rutgers's Jackson Turley in the Round of 12 in 2021.  They traded a few blows back and forth since but that tournament was the best year both wrestlers had.

Bo Nickal was upset by a kid from IU his freshman year (name?). Subsequent matches were never close, but it did give the announcers something to talk about for 4 years. Pretty much the same with Washington.

Some random named Nate Jackson. I wonder whatever happened with him. Probably could have been a decent freestyler if he didn't quit wrestling after his freshman year.

Pretty interesting that Nate Jackson lost 4-3 to Nickal in the semis of NCAA tournament in 2016.  So he wrestled him close twice that year and split 1 - 1 in their matchup.

He beat Carter in Carter’s first dual ever. He’s been living off of one win a half a decade ago. He’s a fine wrestler but nothing happened to him.
