I didn't mean to imply it was an option or plan! The more I try to clarify my crummy point, the more it gets misunderstood. So it's clear I didn't express it well enough and will move on - please strike Gantry's posts in this thread from the record please.
Sure but it's a sample size of one, I certainly wasn't applying it to just PSU in the last few years. I doubt Kasak would have looked as good at 141 this year after he moved up for the team.
Also, guys who move up for team or whatever reasons more often than not grow into that weight and don't look as good going back down. Weight cutting is overrated, especially for a guy like Barr who often wears his opponents down and scores late.
Yep, my seats weren't too far from where Trent was standing for the finals and the whole match he was "shadow wrestling" and yelling support/technique. Honestly it was a blast to watch, you can tell how much he cares for his NC State guys.
Honestly Hamiti looked like the better guy throughout most of it but KOT just finds a way man. Only KOT doesn't give up those scramble points or that escape at the end.
Great match by both guys, I think KOT had the mental edge to tie it and win it late.
