Fargo Upsets and Break-Out Performers

[BruceyB]

I just thought it would be nice to have a thread where we can post notable upsets and give credit to guys having breakout performances. I haven't looked into any brackets yet, so I have nothing to contribute yet.

Rocklin Zinkin has eye test wise looked incredible to me but lower competition so far, the kid he wrestled round 2 was pretty tough. Dallas Russell has been a big talent since he was little, but the Cosby win is probably his breakout for high school. Willie white from Florida lost to Miller but it was 11-5 which honestly is probably going to go down as the best loss of the tournament if I were to guess.

And he was in the match until he wasn't. He wrestled pretty damn well...

do you have any idea is he a like highland guy? Florida wrestling seems to be making a pretty serious jump as well as Utah.

I was wondering if it was just on my end

[Truzzcat]

Gabe ballard is scrapping with Bo its not close score wise but he is impressing me.

nope, all 30 mat streams went down. Were you watching Zinkin's match when it happened? It appears to be gone forever

Nicholas Garcia, IL over Ignacio Villasenor, OK (Dec 6-0)

Everything was off of Villasenor's offense. He got in on legs at will but couldn't finish

He did not look very good to me in the match prior either. He was definitely better at u20's but I have real concerns with how Knox is going to do at u20's.

Honestly, Carini's ranking is a bit too high and he looked pretty lackluster in all his matches. But he's got a few more years. Joseph Antonio out of SJB is a better long term prospect IMO- great pickup for Army.

I'm assuming this is Eggum's son. What weight?

150

[Husker_Du]

man, i love you guys. could talk Fargo all day. 

Eggum's kid is at 150.

there's a kid that was kinda not on my radar - Nate Gugelman (ID). he didn't place but he beat some good guys (Verrette and Paridon)

[MPhillips]

Just watched the 15 and 18 seed at 106 put up 42 points in a 21-20 win. Four minute match...

[Husker_Du]

there's also a kid in quarters that didn't register with me until this spring - Sullivan Ramos (WI) 165

Carini's high ranking comes with SR's (Antonio) being removed. 

and what's left is not very deep. that being said, Carini still has two years of HS left. everyone is recruiting him. 

[Husker_Du]

A Kentucky kid - Luke Ricketts - came outta nowhere really to make quarters at 190. has Mastny next.

in that same bracket, it's nice to see Penovich doing so well after his long injury layoff.
