Shouldn't they call this the Blood Round Classic instead of the All Star? There really isn't a decent matchup and the over under is 50% of the field snagging an All-American this year.
You get Byrd and Mendez and then pair them with marginal competitors.
The US has wrestled spectacularly for the most part. Three kids 21 and under with one already guaranteed a medal, one wrestling for bronze and the other had a respectable showing. Zahid and Hidlay looked great in making the finals. Hendrickson was a result of the top US hwts not being healthy and good Lord knows what was going on in Steveson's head.
The only real disappointment was Lee. He is digressing at HWC so a change would do him good. Cornell or Michigan are about the only spots for him as OK ST has RBY and NLWC has Lilledahl. HWC just doesn't have anyone with decent leg attacks to prepare Lee's defense.
What are you going to ask him..."Have you seen all Syd Bartlett's XXX rated only fans?" "Did you really need to see the size of her vajayjay?" "Is she really that big of a skank?".
Can people succeed going to a lower rated school? Absolutely. Does going to a "better" school set them on a much easier path to success? Also absolutely.
Edinboro, Clarion and Lock Haven vie for the same kids that Kent State does. None of them are still successful due to money and the lack of recognition of a degree.
Kent read, Kent write, Kent State isn't really that much of a joke.
What I meant was that Bassett really looks at his opponent. He looks great when he's under control and he is against decent opponents. He was really, really sloppy against crappy opponents. It looks like he respected Rivera and went about his business.
I believe that he's going to be a 2x or 3x champ if his weight works out. He runs into issues when he can't physically dominate guys and really needs to work on leg attacks.
Paraguay's hwt with a quick Deuce 10 seconds in but fights off his back. down 0-4 goes upper body again and should get frequent flyer miles with that one and he's launched to his back for the fall. Lot of action for 30 second match
Dineen up now vs Cuba
Dineen up at break 1-0 on clock point. Looks like a Greco match as neither has touched legs.
Dineen with first shot by either a minute into the second. Double for easy takedown then laces Cuba into oblivion. Turned him 6 or 7 times before he stops for a tech and win.
Welsh up
Welsh on clock forces step out off single
Welsh with another point, possibly eye gouge. Up 2-0 at the break.
