Cyclone open and Jax

[Truzzcat]

Jax entered the Cyclone open attached which we can assume all but means he is the guy this year. He pinned Diverasent in the semis up 6-1 and beat Ortega 4-0. Tagen Jamison also wrestled and just lost to Seth Mendoza 5-1 in the finals. I am extremely interested to see if Ortega gets eligibility because hes a problem if he can figure out the top bottom. Jax did not get on top until 15 seconds left according to floarena went scoreless into the third but he got the first takedown on Seidel and only gave up points and eventually the fall when Seidel got on top.

I so hope Seidel and Forrest go at in Blacksburg. With maroon and oranges glasses on I think Seidel wins that match. Forrest has the slight edge from neutral but Seidel can rack up some points with his top game. I’d be shocked if Forrest took down though

I think people will be quick to pick Jax because of him beating him twice last year but as good as Seidel was then he seems much improved now as is Jax. I truly think if you wrestled NCAA's 10 times one of Seidel, Blaze, Jax, Crookham, Davino, Byrd would win it at least once.

Saw that Mendoza beat Jamison. Anyone have video or commentary?

No video coverage from the event unfortunately, looked like Mendoza went to work a bit on top thought about 1:40 of riding time which is impressive against a strong guy like Jamsion for a TF thats up about 15lbs from the summer.

Forrest won 11-4 and 7-1 last season.

Cortez beat Seidel 6-1 in the spring, Seidel tech'd him 15-0 recently. Forrest would be the favorite but Seidel is much improved in all facets. Also, that 7-1 match was a lot closer than the score, sequence very easily could've gone the other way.

Mendoza had an early takedown in the first, gets riding time ( at 31 remaining )Mendoza gets a quick escape in the second. 4-0. Mendoza rides for 40 seconds in the third.  Jamison escapes, 4-1.  No more scoring other than the riding point.

That 7-1 match was like 4-1 late in the 3rd. They got in a memorable scramble and Seidel almost scored the TD a couple times but Forrest did a great job defending. Seidel went for broke with like 10 seconds left and gave up a TD with a second or two on the clock. 
 

both are studs and hopefully we get rewarded with a rematch. I’ll be in Blacksburg regardless but that’d awesome if they line up.
