If Arnold loses here (which he would) I can imagine his confidence heading in to Big Tens will be at an all time low with losing to McEnelly and Plott back to back. Expand Yeah but at the same time, how confident could he be feeling like he is not the guy the Brands want out there in a big match situation like this? You already saw his reaction to when Angelo took the mat for Penn State.

That's not dominant. Expand Nelson Brands wrestled Carter closer than Ferrari. That score was actually 2-1. After the match, no one was anointing Nelson National champ potential.

In '23 he had a 5-1 win over Julian Broderson, a 2-1 win over Brands, a 4-0 win over DJ Washington, a 5-2 win over Bailee O'Reilly. This year he has all bonus point victories except the Ferarri match. He has been much more offensive this year.

I told him if he quit being Sta(l)rocci and started being StaRocci, I would quit calling him Sta(l)rocci. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

He wants the Hodge real bad this year and he still couldn't score on Angelo

ionel Posted February 20 Posted February 20 "We’re just not gonna talk about that stuff,” said Brands on his lineup. “It’s gonna always be vague. I know we got a lot of good guys, and the problem is there’s 10 weight classes and we got maybe more than 10 guys that can do very well that we believe in.” .

Some of us just don't think it says much about him being a threat to beat Starocci, who has a track record of wrestling carefully and tactically at times based on his read of the big picture. Enjoyable to watch? No. But that's what Mesenbrink is for. Expand Bump
Pinnacle Posted February 24 Posted February 24 On 2/19/2025 at 3:13 PM, Fletcher said: Ferrari took twice as many shots as Carter. Was in on his legs multiple times. Expand Just curious, because other than AJ and Angelo I just rarely see a wrestler constantly go to one knee. On occassion, sure, but constantly, no. What kind of shot are college wrestlers routinely taking against wrestlers already on one knee?
