Probably. Carter at 100 percent is gonna win. I blame Manning. He got everyone riled up and probably impacted seeding.

Mehki took out Marinelli from the 8 seed once. Maybe he can take out Starocci. Or not.

World champ at 6 is nuts.

Love Mesenbrinks bracket. I will be surprised if he is not in the final

Starocci gets Sparks in round 1. Trivia answer meets destiny.

They got an entire program named after that move. Lol.

2 losses.

Good take and I basically agree. I am a huge Crookham fan and will be rooting for him at NCAAs.

Listen, if you think we need a Starocci rule then go ahead and write one. I bet you can't write one that does not also create issues. I'm out. I am now focused on the wrestlers that did qualify thru their own efforts, one of whom is Carter Starocci.

Consequences? Nic Bouzakis went 0-2 at Big Tens and likely altered the at large selections at 133. Are non qualifiers at 133 supposed to blame Nic Bouzakis? You get what you earn.

Starocci wrestled. The result was 2 inj defaults.

I think Crookham has at least equal skill to Fix and their main difference is maybe just Fix man strength, but Crookham is very strong himself.

Starocci took the mat and wrestled. He lost by inj default. He just did it in a way so as to 1) comply with qualifying requirements and 2) not further injure himself I don't think Brennan will go thru life blaming Carter Starocci for his not qualifying when he could have done so on his own merit.

When you have three guys who were there telling him he's wrong, then he's wrong. They were there, he was not.

I consider Shapiro as similar if not exactly Mesenbrink. I think Shapiro gets Lewan twisted up and taken down due to his activity and pace.

Starocci didn't prevent Wilson from qualifying, the fact that Wilson didn't wrestle better this year is what did that. Same as any other non qualifier in D1.

@Coach_Manning · 13h In the 2017 Big Ten Wreslting seeding meeting, former Michigan head coach Joe McFarland and former head coach Barry Davis (both men, I have great respect for personally and professionally) asked PSU coaches “Is Nick Suriano wrestling?” Part 1 @mm_mccutcheon This thread is not true. It’s actually funny. I still remember watching nick wrestle with Cael in the “Dojo”the day before weigh ins testing his ankle out in an attempt to wrestle. To call it “gamesmanship” is laughable @mm_mccutcheon He did everything in his power to wrestle for the team but in the end decided not to. It was far from gamesmanship. @BaybeeMarky_PSU One of the reasons I love Nick Suriano so much. Dude’s a dawg @Coach_Manning Nick had broken his ankle and had no intention in competing in either tourney. This is what we’re dealing with in consideration to seeding and qualification spots. Part 4 @NoBickal Not true. Another case of someone spouting off about something they really don't know about. Sometimes it is better to just stay quiet instead of just throwing **** out there.

I think Shapiro will take him down in regulation. His style will get Lewan off balance.

After Mark Manning's ill advised tweet yesterday I am interested in anyone vs any Nebraska wrestler.

Is that your true belief, that it is personal? What if a wrestler says "I believe in the golden rule, I treat others how I would like to be treated". Is this expression acceptable to you?

Maybe you get it now maybe you don't, but the Carter thing he was way overboard on turned out to be nothing. The guy was posting with no knowledge what he was talking about.

Maybe that jajensen can finally admit he had his head up his rear end.

Cael as the master of distraction?
