Both he and Facundo may be “injured”

How about Pepperdine? Didn’t realize their new AD was a 3x AA from Stanford

1. Yes down vs historical, but this year’s Midlands/Scuffle/Salute were pretty similar to the last couple years IMO. IIRC (could be wrong) PSU did not send anyone to the Scuffle last year so the fact that they did this year was a positive IMO 2, 3, 5 & 6. True but as above, is this any different than the last few years? If anything within the aforementioned tournaments and CKLV there’s probably been less MFF’s since they changed the rule making the first one a loss. 4. Can you share what comments from Smith you’re referencing? If he said that I would guess that has more relevance to redshirt decisions. My bet would be that about 99% of “ducks” are the coach’s decision and not the wrestlers’ What have even been the biggest ducks so far? Maybe Arnold/Ferrari and that was an intrasquad match. We got the matchup everyone wanted in Haines/O’Toole, and thanks to Rokfin sucking everyone was able to watch it for free. I’m with @Wrestleknownothing, the season doesn’t really start until the conference dual season. If that is a dud then maybe I’ll get on board with this OP.

But the guy I was referencing from Illinois ( @ILLINIWrestlingBlog, do you know what Marinopolous weighed?) wasn’t even good for 197. Their 197 starter last year was 7-11.

200 lol

Saw this reply Who I assume is related to Logan Ashton, who spent 3 years at Stanford and 2 at Chattanooga (but did not compete last year). Redshirted 2020, 2021 free year if last year was a medical could in theory have 2 years of eligibility assuming he wrestles this season. So would guess it’s him. If not, almost certainly someone from either Stanford or Chattanooga.

Moreso the lack of bonus points in general. It is not super common for only one bout to have bonus…

Nah not really that surprising amiright ? Interesting that Keckeisen had the only bonus points of the whole dual

Well in roster battle news, Treanor beats Basile 10-7 then beats Hanna of Campbell for 3rd

Mirasola wins 197 7-3 Not sure how fast team score updates Floarena shows Army 132.5 Oklahoma 126.5 PSU 121.5

Wow great tournament for him also beating Wolak

No offense to this guy from Cal Baptist, but him getting a start with a dual on the line is a great example of why we don’t need to water down heavyweight by adding an additional weight between 197 and 285…

Wolak gets pinned in consis

Clip of Ryder’s fall over Stewart

Twas not to be. Sasso loses to Brophy of Citadel. PSU with 4 finalists. Looks like next most is Northern Colorado with 3 and no one else with more than 2.

Well he lost to “tweener” Christian Carroll who hadn’t even won a college match yet in the Round of 16, so seems like he probably would have been better off at heavyweight

Wolak lost to Sergio Desiante of Chattanooga

Seems like their lowerweight starters haven’t had a great showing. 125 Farmer - seeded 3rd, 1-2 133 Berginc - 1-2 (one being a MFFL) 141 Basile - seeded 2nd, in consi semis against teammate Treanor

Penn State might win the tournament, crazy…

PSU’s Connor Pierce over Willie McDougald to make the finals at 149

Unseeded Dylan Cedeno of UVA into the finals with wins over 2nd seed Braden Basile of Army and 3rd seed Shannon Hanna of Campbell

Spencer Moore over Beric Jordan in quarters, will be Poulin/Moore in finals Jayden Scott of UNC over Mosha Schwartz on a stall call in SV: Ryder and both Mirasolas in the semis

Mason Parris vs common opponents 54 - 12 vs opponent 5 - 0 #4 Cassioppi, Anthony 03/16/23 W TF5 16 - 1 5:12

Speaking of the intersection of this topic and wrestling, whatever happened to the allegations against that ref guy in Chicago with the YouTube account?

New angle of explosion. Some seem to think this shows him as alive before the explosion, but not sure about that myself
