I said it elsewhere, but I refuse to root for NLWC until it's time for the big dance. And

That's a shame.  My favorite aspect of USA wrestling is that I don't have to root for a particular team during the wrestle off process.  Cuz thats all this is.

Well he plans to add even more beefcake to his physique before OTT... so it could get very interesting.

He'll get better but I think he's not quite ready to snatch the crown from DT.  I'm still staying on the record and for years have said Brooks will be the best wrestler to ever put on a PSU wrestling singlet

Zahid has won multiple world seniors rankings tournaments. Brooks was... teched by PD3. Hints? Sure. But don't act like this was expected.

It's not surprising

He had the best individual performance of NCAAs, IMO. Didn’t rack up massive bonus but his wins over Hidlay and Keckeisen should have raised eyebrows. Neither came anywhere close to scoring on him.

Brooks Freestyle hype is from his time spent at Colorado Springs.  He was the talk of the town.  His results in college so far had nothing to do with folks saying he was going to close the gap and eventually surpass more seasoned wrestlers.

TRUMBLE GOT HOSED WITH THAT STALEMATE

Too soon

If Jden can't get past Snyder should he compete at the Kirkpinar?

He damn near died on the mat.  Brooks broke him as much as he just flat out gassed.  Constant pressure and physicality.  Impressive by Brooks.

Brooks is our future at 86kg.  Hopefully he doesn't take any trips with Kyle Snyder to Dagestan unless NLWC is willing to pay the ransom

Not if KOT bumps up as rumored and Starocci faces real competition for the first time in his career

Mekhi Lewis, Labs and Kem don't count?

There's a widespread pastry infection running rampant on this forum

Wonder if Kirk Ferentz puts a kibosh on Kueter's wrestling career after sustaining that ankle injury

Yep. It’s possible Iowa might have an issue with guys wearing down a bit by the end of the season, but for one that wasn’t Lee’s problem. And PSU has had no shortage of guys with “traditional” injuries

I believe the correct current terminology is Cis Injuries

This reminds me of a local coach. His dad was an All American in college so he has kind of an entitled attitude. When he got hired at a local high school he claimed he was going to weed out the weak and he was the new alpha. He ended up getting fired within a month. 

Deion Sanders future? 

Alex Dierenger is still wrestling in College?  

O'Toole Nolf interesting semi match.  Any takers on how this one plays out?

You can get mad.. but a hardcore penn state starting a thread saying “I mean, does the team title really matter”…

Arguing for it now the way you are after the way you defend/support PSU makes it look a certain way 

ok

It’s very easy to say something doesn’t matter when your team is dominating… extremely easy… 

It’s not a false idea. 
 

It’s also very easy to ignore many of the issues going on when your team is not being hurt by them 

I've been a PSU wrestling fan since the early 90's.  My opinion on this matter existed far before Cael arrived on the scene.

Porta John…. Aren’t you a hardcore PSU fan?

Yes,  but hear me out.  This past NCAA tournament there wasn't a 165 finals match that I would've preferred over Carr vs O'Toole.  I was excited to see Yianni go for his 4th, was riding the Bonaccorsi train, and was happy to watch Mason Parris finish his career with an exclamation.  Four weights I was rooting for wrestlers over PSU guys.  Broken record but wrestling is an individual sport. As much as I love PSU I often cheer for wrestlers from other Universities over PSU wrestlers.  

My personal opinion is that many college wrestling fans have this false idea that the sport can grow by promoting the "team" aspect by having National Duals.   My belief is the best model to grow college wrestling would be similar to the UFC or professional boxing.  Promote the individual wrestlers.
