Third Place SRs 2 Stanford, Penn State, Cornell U20 Missouri, 2 Cornell, Iowa (finally on the board), Oklahoma St, NC St, Ohio St, Lehigh, Nebraska, Minnesota

If we want to look at those who made the finals and took second we have: SRs Missouri, Ohio State U20 2 Missouri, 2 Penn State, 2 Oklahoma St 1 Michigan 1 ASU 1 Nebraska 0 Iowa Sinclair was a finalist in both SRs and U20 at different weights.

It's amazing how Iowa fans like the pastry are twisting themselves into knots that Bassett "looked good" losing. He's going to look "great" in college then when he can't physically bully other wrestlers. Now the pastry is pointing out that Mirasola only had pushouts on Mocco as a slam on Mirasola instead of the fact that a non-physical heavyweight was able to physically manhandle their other prized recruit.

Oklahoma State had a great showing with a commit winning SRs and another winning U20. Cornell, Minnesota, Lehigh, ASU and Oregon St all snagged U20 golds. Illinois joined the party with an U17 winning gold. Penn State won 2 SR, 4 U20 and 1 U17. Iowa was blanked across the board.

Miller is may be a sophomore but he's a really old soph. There wasn't much of an age difference between the two.

One of the C. Mirasolas is taking on one of the D. Bechtolds next on mat 5. I wish this new dashboard had the weights of the upcoming bouts.

Carr/Mesenbrink was entertaining after a few slower bouts. Wasn't expecting that result.

Really looked like Gross had 2nd day weight issues.

Inconsistent officiating is a bane on American freestyle. How no one went on the clock in the second period is beyond my understanding.

Khaled Dassan or KDTrained. Ryder and Duke are also at that club.

Valencia takes out Woods late

Thank you. I 've been poking around a little and didn't see this. I'm liking this more and more.

It would be easier to follow on dashboard if mats 3 and 4 weren't Greco and mat 9 Women. FS is on 8 mats...why not 1 through 8?

Yes they are. I like that the upcoming bouts are listed under the mat in dashboard also. Bouzakis and Tomasello in the hole on 2 for example

Once you figure it out, these brackets/dashboard are really nice. The estimated clock is a nice feature.

obviously meant wasn't...see the earlier comment about record inflation in opens.

A lot of the 5 seeds really had no business being 5 seeds. Figs really did nothing during the season to earn that spot. Serrano was over seeded, Happel placed. Parco was injured, Cannon was over seeded having a record propped up by opens. Ramirez is historically bad at NCAAs, Ruiz placed, Berge was over seeded thanks to a lucky '24 tourney, Beard struggles at tournaments due to weight issues, and Keuter placed. Figs lost to Daugherty at the BXII tournament and really showed he was either having weight issues or HEW. Didn't deserve the 5 seed. Serrano got the seed by winning BXII but that was an insanely weak weight in that conference Happel lost to Hardy and then Composto. I guess one could argue that he should have beaten Composto and took 4th instead of 5th Parco had freak injury. Unfortunately that happens Cannon was tOSU's starter for the entire season and got a lucky bracket at BIGs to make the finals which got him the 5 seed. If Miller wasn't the 1, getting majored by Kasak anywhere but the finals and he isn't the 5. Ramirez is a blood round professional. Ruiz did as well as could be expected lost to Haines and went 1-1 with Devos Berge was either injured or just broken by Allred in a wild match Beard is too big for 197. He's much more beatable on Fridays Keuter got a bad draw in wrestlebacks. Shultz is just too big for him.

And the interesting thing is that Sanderson has never been accused by anyone who matters. I mean it's a proven fact that the disgraced Dan Gable is a cheater.

Brooks did have recent surgery and not competing does not exempt an individual from WADA/USADA testing. Brooks still has to submit whereabouts...

Carter was the only top ranked wrestler who wrestled. National champ vs. National champ was a match everyone wanted to see. The rest of the lineup was pretty boring. Could have had Allirez/Mendez, Otoole/Haines, Gable/Kerk. Instead we get boring matches like Haines/Devos.

There were only a few matches worthwhile at the past All Star Classic. So many top guys are turning it down that there's only a few each year.

It matters greatly. A "champ" getting blown out lessens an event. Events like the Southern Scuffle and Soldier Salute are lower level events as multiple weights don't have wrestlers who would All American later that season.

For this to succeed, they really need Oklahoma State to blow everyone out. There's a chance that Penn State shuts out all the BIG teams invited. It would look really bad to the event if one of those teams won.

Why would other schools go dumpster diving when there's a perfectly good grocery store open? The only young talent Iowa has is Ferrari and most schools don't want to touch that name.

Unfortunately for Penn State, being in the BIG means they are forced to wrestle patsies like Iowa and Nebraska, teams that can only win a couple of matches at most.
