Jimmy Cinnabon Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Wrestled one match at the Southern Scuffle and seemed to reinjure himself. Then MFF'd out the rest of the tournament. Sad ending for a great kid. I think his college wrestling days are over unfortunately. Penn State will have to pull Davis' shirt or roll with 125 pound Desmond at 141.

If they only had a world beater AA lock from Japan at 141 who could skillfully get off bottom with ease and take everyone down.
bnwtwg Posted January 3 Posted January 3 This is why anytime you are offered NIL money an NCAA athlete should take advantage. One injury away from never competing again. I'm sure there will be the BS "well ackschually he would have never been hurt if he stayed at Minny for less herp derp" but that's disingenuous because he may have suffered an even worse injury, but we will never know and that's literally the point - you never know, so take god'$ bag when he works in mysteriou$ ways. i am an idiot on the internet

I'd like to see him slotted into the lineup, assuming he's ready for primetime. Someone on the International board mentioned possible kidney issues?

Hammerlock3 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 JC is really trying to transition into some sort of reputable poster....what a loser. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

Someone on the International board mentioned possible kidney issues? What I saw was that he had trouble with his Kidneys in his qualifying for Worlds back home. Seems like that was over a month ago, so maybe he is ok now?? I would rather see Ono, than Davis, as not sure Davis can make the podium at 141. I do believe Ono would be very competitive. Either way I feel bad for Nagao.

Nak21 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Who knows? Didn’t look good. Had to borrow a big shoulder harness from Iowa (maybe that’s why their starters couldn’t make it 4miles down the hill to the Soldier Salute?) Wasn’t a dominating performance against a kid who’s like 4-10. Shook hands gingerly with his other hand at the end and defaulted out his next match. Still a slightly beefed up Desmond or Nasdeo available. And it’s not like PSU needs the points. I think they’d like to preserve Desmond’s RS. Ono’s also. In a curveball, Braeden Davis is wrestling as we speak, unattached, at a tourney in Edinboro. Thought they’d like to preserve his too? But now he’s looking to get 4 matches in. Who knows? The saga of PSU’s 141 continues…I hope they can still be competitive in March with 9 scoring wrestlers…
Maxwell Smart Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Jimmy bashing is getting old, why waste time on a post you're not going to like before you read it? Then, others dog pile on and the subject gets changed. Your good posters, but the forum is better without the jabs.

Pinnacle Posted January 4 Posted January 4 We interrupt this scintillating thread about Aaron Nagao to report breaking news that Penn State's Braeden Davis, the baby faced 15 year old posing as D1 wrestler, just wrestled unattached and demolished the 141 field at the Edinboro Tournament. I can not vouch for the quality of competition, but I am sure he beat all Community College and D1 wrestlers he faced at this event.

Sounds like they may be getting his match count up in preparation for using him this year.

The saga of PSU’s 141 continues…I hope they can still be competitive in March with 9 scoring wrestlers… I was under the impression that the thinking at PSU was more like, if you can go now, go, don't RS. The recruiting pipeline is always bountiful if not clogged, so I figure the staff would want to keep guys advancing through their eligibility. For Ono specifically, he currently has 2 years of eligibility. If he takes a shirt this year, his college wrestling career would be pressing up against the 2028 Olympics and I assume he'll need to be in Japan to qualify. Even if he takes an ORS and trains in Japan, he'd still need to be taking classes at PSU, which could be a big distraction.
GV4444 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Well, looks like someone will have to burn their red shirt, unless they will just let Nasdeo fill the spot. He is unlikely to qualify. I would prefer to see Davis burn his shirt, he has the best chance of getting a spot this late in the season. Dispassionate Penn State grad and fan.

He beat what I think are tru frosh ranked 203, 161, and unranked backup for West Virginia and rsfr ranked 170

Unless things have changed, the NCAA only granted Ono 1yr of eligibility and they’re appealing it?? He’ll go next year…I would think…and boy I sure hope by then after nearly 1.5yrs in the room he doesn’t get confused on the bottom when someone throws a half. It depends on the kid, the weight, the team situation. So far they’ve been very good and creative with RS, Oly RS, grey shirts, etc and getting all these kids in the lineup. To date it’s really maybe Ryder who portaled out and helped the situation and Sealy who have been odd men out…197 Mirasola will probably in there too going forward. An embarrassment of riches, something’s gotta give. Edited January 4 by Nak21

Sounds like they may be getting his match count up in preparation for using him this year. Who knows? They’ve got maybe 5-6 kids to chose from at 141…all different situations. Desmond (bumping up), Nasdeo, Nagao (injured again?), Ono and Davis (RS), Cunningham (probably a room kid). Davis won - 2 pins, MD in Semi and I think a MD in the finals. Cunningham lost 3-0 in the Semi, won the 3rd place match. Think they had another back up there…3 kids total?

I’d say it’s either him or Desmond, slim chance of anyone else IMO.
SRDVIKINGS Posted January 4 Posted January 4 With Ono trying to make 125 for Japan i cannot see how they would want him at 141 even if they burned his shirt.

I agree. No reason to send Davis and still not use him when it turns out he is probably the best option. Wrestle off him and Desmond and then go with the winner.

Making 57kg may be a problem. He had some kidney issue…probably from the cut and had to withdraw from the Emperors Cup. He honestly may be an Olympic tweener. But maybe it will be 141 because if he can’t go down to 57kg/125lbs, the only other direction is up, 65kg and 141lbs. We shall see…but probably not until next year.
