Unless we care about duals now, Vak’s statement is true for the team anyway. Arnold probably only scores a few points at 184 this year, and then you lose a year from him
-
I believe they said 182 on FRL
-
Yeah I don’t think Kennedy would do all that well at 184, but he’s likely their best option if Arnold is at 174, and especially if Swafford is out. But I’d guess Kennedy is likely a better option than Swafford anyway.
-
I doubt it changes the bottom guy’s strategy much IMO. I think most guys aren’t necessarily “trying” for reversals, they kinda just happen based on the flow of the match. I could see the old saying “1 not 2!” mostly going away though with some top guys maybe hanging on a little longer rather than giving up the 1. Could result in some good scrambles
-
I’m sure it did. This was discussed on FRL. I’m certain we will see less guys choosing bottom than in years past. But on that note, I’ve been thinking about @russelscout’s position and while I acknowledge stalling to protect a lead is an issue, I really don’t think the 3 pt TD changes it much. The only difference IMO is in the past assuming you went into the 2nd period up 2-1, you’d probably have to get an escape in order to implement that stalling strategy, and now you don’t.

If I’m Tom, I have Arnold and Kennedy wrestle off for 174. If Arnold wins, he goes and Kennedy to 184. If Arnold loses, I’d lean towards redshirting him unless Gabe himself would rather wrestle 184 than redshirt
-
To be fair, neither Berge or Carlson have wrestled a match yet this season. So does not fit the "duck" definition.
-
Don't remember if anything in 2nd period or if timeclock issues. It was Woods/Echemendia where they stopped it with 1 second though if that's what you're thinking of
-
The officials reviewed that call though
-
Agree overall, but what did Dresser mess up at 157?
-
Yes, but the way Feldkamp wrestled last night, not sure he beats Glazier.
-
What were the refs looking in the rulebook about towards the end?
-
Yeah it seems the main “outcoaching” Brands did was using Kennedy and Arnold at 174/184. But they’re likely their best 2 guys there, so it’s not like it was rocket science to do that. I think people just weren’t totally sure if Kennedy was available. And if Swafford wasn’t, that likely made the decision even easier. That said, Dresser really didn’t do anything that would show him as outcoaching Brands…
-
Sure, could be 30 years, could be 1.
-
Yes, “in theory” is of course just a guess and a lot can change by next year. I don’t like either of them either. Just saying I don’t think next year’s teams will be all that different especially when you consider tonight’s results. Anthony likely isn’t beating Swiderski or Paniro if he’s not in jail, and Iowa won 184 (Angelo) and 197 (AJ) tonight. Like I said, could come down to Kueter vs Bastida. Or not, no one knows.
-
Here is the Chittum replay
-
Lol you seem triggered. Long time until next year, maybe Iowa gets some more portal guys
-
Check the video a couple posts up. I agree with no TD, but it’s awfully close
-
As he pointed out though, they restarted and wrestled 1 second… I was more commenting on prior to that.
-
@jross I actually just watched this like 20x and I actually could see this being called either way. It does seem like there is an ever so slight pause while Woods has his knee down, that you could probably argue was “reaction time.” Reaction time really needs to be defined…
-
Oh shoot I think you’re right, forgot about that. That part of the rule seems contradictory
-
Why not just enter unattached though?
