Binghamton, Brown, Buffalo, Clarion, Cornell, Sacred Heart at Big Red Invitational 9:00 AM https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/ffcd1e3c-9f65-4ec3-91fb-dd2f7807f09c (just got added to Cornell's schedule as ESPN+ for some reason!)

Cornell: hold my beer. Flo Intermat WSt 125: Greg D. 10 9 5 133: Ungar 18 20 16 141: Cornella 15 17 20 149: Fernandez 32 14 18 (!) 157: Shapiro 2 2 1 165: Ramirez 7 4 4 174: Ruiz 11 14 52 (really throws things off) 184: Foca 15 8 7 197: Mike D. 26 25 24 285: Davis NR NR NR 40 That sums to a HLD of 82, not counting the infinity for Davis, with only two guys (Shapiro and Ramirez) whose HLD is less than 5. Compare to 51 for tOSU, which has five guys whose HLD is less than 5.

No fear.

If he qualified as having had a concussion, by definition (and common sense) he would not have been allowed back on the mat. We don't know what protocols he passed by medical staff to allow him to attempt to continue.

I've watched every match Shapiro has wrestled since skipping his senior HS year (there may have been a couple that weren't streamed). I've never seen Shapiro "break" unless he was dropped on his head, and then it is pretty obvious there was an issue. It's clear that Shapiro passes whatever concussion protocol tests they administer during a match if he returns to the mat and attempts to finish the match. They wouldn't let him back if he didn't. In the match in question, he clearly wasn't being "pushed," having taken his opponent down twice with yet-to-be-described-in-the-literature TDs prior to attempting a throw that misfired. He won the U20 world tournament by coming back from behind twice (down 4-2 with < 1:00 to go in the 1/8, and down 4-0 in the final including getting a cut on his head needing a wrap), without being a drama queen. The idea that he would break and fold when getting taken down by a "lesser" opponent is, well, delusional.

You, sir, are delusional.

Shapiro gets a couple of bizarre TDs, gives up a TD, lands on head, eventually MFor. Gonna be a *really* long season...

Isn't this the case where the coaches get together and decide who wants to wrestle whom, and they put together the pools accordingly? Don't expect some of the top matches you want to see to actually occur.

Literally two posts above this (at the time of this writing) is a thread by SHP listing the events for this week; included in that list is the set of teams for this tournament.

Not often, because he is so quick that it is very difficult to get to his legs before he leaps out of the way.

As far as I can tell (thinking about it hours later), Vito dislocated his finger on the second TD going up 4-1. Normally he has two fingers taped, but this time he had three taped together. Really hurt. UWW med staff came out, Vito instructed them to remove the tape (to un-dislocate the finger), but the woman with the HUGE scissors apparently started cutting his finger by accident, because Vito freaked out and grabbed the scissors from her while attempting to take off the tape himself. Med staff was not happy (finger wag not happy). Vito yelled about them cutting him with the scissors. US med rep/coach came out, and they proceeded to pull off the tape. Camera panned out, Vito sat there while the coach...pulled his finger back into place. Immediate pain, but it sorta went away "quickly". Hastily wrapped the fingers again, Vito composed himself, and went out there and finished business. Tough dude.

So, instead of live streaming, they're showing old stuff? Nice!

Schedule says semis at 11:45, and women's medal rounds at 1:00, but the stream shows women's repechage?

So, we gonna get streaming or no?

FWIW, Flo and wrestlestat say one AA (Garvin), or two if Cardenas is not a RS. https://www.wrestlestat.com/d1/rankings/tournament/breakdown/70/stanford

According to Coach Grey in email today, the expected guys at 141: 141- Cornella, Saunders, Botello, Tate, Oroudjov, Griffin

It was difficult to appreciate while trudging across the gorge through knee-deep snow to get to CS414...

On a (Flo?) interview, DT justified his poaching by saying that OkState "entered the recruiting cycle late" because, in his mind, OkState didn't do any recruiting prior to his taking the job.

By "Cornell," I assume you mean "non-Cornell entities associated with the Cornell wrestling program," right? Cornell and the surrounding area is one of the most beautiful spots in the country during the summer.

1) Schools don't throw actual NIL at anyone, at least not legally 2) Nothing is preventing outside agents from throwing actual NIL at anyone, as long as they meet NCAA- and institution-specific NIL guidelines 3) Given that all financial aid at an Ivy League school is need-based, any NIL monies need to be reported as taxable income, which could then affect said financial aid

That is an insane statistic: that many and not facing each other.

That turned out so well for Mason and Erik, didn't it? And what the heck is actually going on in this photo? https://www.tribdem.com/sports/crushers-erik-gibson-signs-with-cornell-wrestling-program/article_5187c99c-5ded-11ec-b455-9393290d04db.html

Intermat no longer (assuming he was at some point) lists Cardenas in their ranking. Flo still lists him.
