For full disclosure, I have on my blue and yellow jackrabbit glasses making these picks. 125: #3 Jore Volk, Wyoming vs #6 Tanner Jordan, South Dakota State I will pick Jordan in a dec 4-1. Volk is 3-1 against Jordan. The matches have been generally close. WS prediction is Volk 6-5. 133: #2 Nasir Bailey, Little Rock vs #4 Evan Frost, Iowa State I will pick a MDec 14-5 for Bailey. Bailey is 1-0 against Frost (with a TF 15-0 win). WS prediction: 7-5 Bailey 141: #2 Jesse Mendez, Ohio State vs #3 Beau Bartlett, Penn State I will pick a dec 7-2 for Mendez. Mendez is 2-1 against Bartlett. WS Prediction: 6-5 Mendez 149: #2 Shayne Van Ness, Penn State vs #3 Ty Watters, West Virginia I will pick a dec 9-5 for Van Ness. These two have never met. WS prediction: 8-7 Watters 157: #4 Tyler Kasak, Penn State vs #5 Peyten Kellar, Ohio I will pick a dec 5-4 for Kasak. These two have not met. WS prediction: 8-5 Kasak 165: #3 Hunter Garvin, Stanford vs #4 Peyton Hall, West Virginia I will pick a dec 8-7 for Hall. Garvin is 1-0 against Hall with a 14-4 win at NCAA's last year. WS prediction: 8-6 Hall. 174: #2 Levi Haines, Penn State vs #3 Cade DeVos, SDSU I will pick a dec 6-4 for DeVos. These two have never wrestled. I am picking this because I cannot in good conscience go against my jackrabbits on a big stage. WS prediction: 8-3 Haines 184: #1 Carter Starocci, Penn State vs #2 Parker Keckeisen, Northern Iowa I will pick a dec 7-6 for Keckeisen. These two have never met. Biggest match of the night! WS prediction: 6-5 Keckeisen 197: #5 Stephen Little, Little Rock vs #9 Zac Braunagel, Illinois I will pick a dec 4-2 for Braunagel. These two have not met. WS prediction: 8-6 Braunagel 285: #3 Nick Feldman, Ohio State vs #7 Taye Ghadiali, Campbell I will pick a dec 14-7 for Feldman. These two are 1-1 against each other with an injury default loss for Feldman and then a 10-4 win for Feldman at NCAA's. WS prediction: 8-7 Feldman.

I blame AOC for this young man punching another student. Had he not stalled, Mr. Palmer would never have been provoked to strike.

The NWCA All-Star Classic matches are set for November 16, 6pm (CST) and can be viewed on Flowrestling. Great to see two of my Jackrabbits in the mix as Cade Devos was substituted for Rocco Welsh at 174. Does this mean Rocco is going to stay at 184 this year?? What are your predictions for the matches?

He has stated himself that he was held back because of covid.

I think Gabe would fair better against Haines because Starocci is just the better wrestler at this point in time in my opinion. Starocci was a very big 174 pounder last year and I think he is one of those guys that will still look like the biggest guy in the weight class when he moves up to 184. Haines pretty much stomped everyone last year but he did have some close matches with very defensive wrestlers. Well, really only Will Lewan. But Gabe Arnold's defense might be on par with a guy like Will Lewan. If you can keep the match close, then you have a shot at the end.

Yep, so he won't be a 20 year old wrestling in high school.

He is 17 and will be turning 18 this year. He will be 18 / 19 as a senior in HS. Not 20.

I believe that bassett will turn 18 this year and thus be an 18 year old junior this year. He will turn 19 next year and be a 19 year old senior, not a 20 year old. This is really not that uncommon at all.

Likewise. He looked too small for the weight and does not have a great frame for the weight class. Obviously others with a similar frame have had success at 197 but I agree that 184 would be a better weight class for him. Maybe even 174.

Could be two escapes and two penalty points for Starocci defiling his grave.

Oh you mean like he did the first four years that he was president when he was murdering people? Get out of here with that nonsense.

They keep saying Cassatt on Flo but I think that’s Sinclair.

For what it is worth, the people that I know that are Trump supporters do not have signs in their yard because they view the signs make them a target for the "tolerant left" and do not want their property destroyed.

He is getting a retirement gift from UWW. Shoes are still on though so is he really retiring??

Are they coming off??

Shoes still on.....

both men fire of shots but unable to penetrate to the legs. Ghasempour shooting but unable to get anything going. DT smothers him and gets another td 6-2 win for DT!

another beautiful low hi-c from dt! 4-2

ankle pick for DT! 2-2

DT not able to beat the hand fight - head/hands of Ghasempour so far. Outside of the one shot and score from Ghasempour, not much action in the first.

Ghasempour on the clock first. Ghasempout gets in on a shot and scores. 2-0 iran

Yes

Japan's lower weights are insane. Huguchi, Ono, Kiyooka.. Otoguro can't even make the team. Ono got teched challenging Kiyooka for the Olympic spot.

Ono is just insane. Another quick tech 10-0. He gets to the leg so fast, is super physical and a hammer on top.

Anybody taking the Turk over Ono?? Lol
