Man, you guys hate Iowa that much you want to root for the guy who, as a senior returning finalist, had no legitimate offensive opportunities against a true frosh, who had multiple deep shots and opportunities to score. Expand It had gone for a long time but the ref blew the whistle right after Angelo went past 90 degrees.

When he blew the whistle I thought it was for a stalemate but according to broadcast was potentially dangerous. I just thought it was interesting as it happened in real time.

Truzzcat Posted February 24 Posted February 24 What did everyone think about Rink Sakamoto. He needs work on the bottom, but I liked that he was able to keep moving at least until he got tired. Honestly thought it was a decent showing, going up against a top 3 guy at the weight probably still a little small for it (he's been wrestling 57kg internationally as recently as December) and in probably the hardest environment possible. He kept looking for what seemed like a back trip single to the right side or maybe a whip over I'm not entirely sure. I also was not sure if he was initiating those hip-to-hip Merkel positions or if that was Ayala. Either way he was not getting the edge in those situations so that's something that he will need to sort out. Overall though I think he could be very good it will be interesting if he is the guy next year. I am the personal property of VakAttack

Expand I don't think questioning the stoppage is hating on Iowa. I saw it live and thought it seemed premature. Haven't rewatched the sequence and wasn't on here posting about it but it's a legit question. I do agree with you that some of the other comments have been below the belt but not on this particular subject. Edited February 24 by PortaJohn 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted

Ayala was clearly comfortable in those positions and scored from them, so maybe switch things up. But by that time he was pretty gassed from the ride. All in all, it is very valuable experience against a guy who is a national champ threat. Learn from it and get better. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
PortaJohn Posted February 24 Posted February 24 @SNL Wrestling do you have the clip of Ayala's slide by? Checked on X and can't find it. It was absolutely filthy I Don't Agree With What I Posted

In 6 years of NCAA competition Amine has conceded a single bonus point. Expand Tbf, I'm not sure Cal would've bonused Amine last night if it wasn't for the injury time. That extra escape was huge. But I also wasn't surprised by the result. He sure looked great.

Had Amine been wrestling with the mask leading up to the dual or was that new too?
CHROMEBIRD Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I think it's new. Amine has been pretty banged up for a while though, which might explain his performance. Malik has said that he's been trying to get healthy.
MPhillips Posted February 25 Posted February 25 It was a fun dual with good wrestling and pages of build up. Very impressed that no one started a thread titled, 'I really enjoyed the coach David Taylor era.' .

He looked very talented on his feet. He is only a freshman. I think he ends up being a stud after a couple years training with Gilman, Fix, and RBY.
