    Ben Darmstadt. 18 pins in his first full season at D1 (tied with Dake and behind only Gabe Dean in the Cornell record book). One of the few guys who would choose top and against whom others would choose neutral. Could get a pin from top, bottom, and neutral. Was like wrestling an octopus with legs and arms everywhere. "Famously" beat 4xAA and then-#2 Willie Miklus 9-0 with 6:11 riding time despite Miklus taking neutral to start the third. MAGA: "Make Assassin Great Again"

    Ah, so you watched the actual gymnastics meet stream, instead of the dedicated ESPN+ wrestling stream. It's not too late: https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/e1c49b20-0e65-4301-80de-59cbec7af724

    Poorly televised? You must have watched something other than the ESPN+ stream I saw. Professional announcers, professional camera work, accurate scoring and clocks, only mispronounced "Foca". Got "Shapiro" correct. Only saw the gymnasts in the background on rare occasions (did see that coach in the red and white outfit a few times).

    FWIW, there was confusion as to how the Cornell vs. Mizzou match tonight was going to be streamed, as it is in conjunction with a Mizzou women's gymnastic event. It will be streamed on ESPN+ here: https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/716a9c4f-261e-4bcc-9715-012aab884a02 Link appeared on ESPN+'s schedule moments ago.

    N=1: Shapiro got 7.5 bonus points last NCAA tournament, and WS is crediting him to score 7.5 points this year.

    Schools don't offer NIL money. More likely Stanford couldn't compete with UNC's ability to offer Koll NIL money.
  7. BigRedFan
    What are you suggesting? Old friends getting together? Cardenas committed to Cornell, then joined a bunch of other commits and followed Koll to Stanford.
  8. BigRedFan
    Cardenas wrestled at the Soldier Salute (listed as "Stanford"). The rest of the team is at Midlands.

    Might it have to do with the fact that Flo and track are neither hosting the brackets (something called Smoothcomp?) nor streaming (B1G+) this event?
  10. BigRedFan
    Trackwrestling has two-deep mat assignments for Midlands. Given that they are at the upper weights, it's likely they had three-deep when there were three matches scheduled on a given mat.

    Correa had uncommitted some time ago, IIRC, because of something Michigan did, not because of something Cornell did (unless you know otherwise). He was a free agent. Vega never decommitted from Cornell until he committed to OSU. Kinda like Correa broke up with his girlfriend, then met a new girlfriend, while Vega started going out with a new girlfriend before breaking up with his old girlfriend. What did I miss?
  12. BigRedFan
    Did I get this correct? Correa commits to Michigan. Michigan recruits over him. Correa decommits. Correa commits to Cornell months later. Where's the outrage?

    Depends on the school and when their first term ends. For example, Foca and Ramirez both wrestled last weekend after taking the first semester off, because finals ended before that dual. "Second semester" really means "after first semester ends."

    Saw that Anthony Knox (Beast of the East) and Alessio Perentin (Powerade) are both sporting Cornell headgear in tournaments. Great marketing. Any other schools doing this?

    Works fine for me using Chrome on my MacBook. Also works fine with Safari on same computer. Try this link: https://arena.flowrestling.org/event/9dcf51b0-5e07-4592-b2c5-b1b3be2d907b (note: There may have been an issue with the link from one of their articles, but the link from Arena seems to work fine)

    How many of those teams, other than Cornell, have zero wrestlers registered?
  17. BigRedFan
    See that elf in the middle with the green cap?

    Cornell wrestling posted a video of his takedowns. The one in question is the third one, and shows what hammerlock3 says and what I suspected: misdirection and speed. This video may disappear within 24 hours. https://www.facebook.com/stories/101372705368685/UzpfSVNDOjE4NzMxNDkxOTY1NTA4NjQ=/?view_single=1

    I suspect that on the one I posted, Scott might have thought Shapiro was going one direction and Shapiro went the other, so perhaps Scott turned into Shapiro's go-behind. That's the only way I can think he managed to get behind him so quickly. Shapiro has one of the best ankle pick takedowns, and he didn't try to use it. I just hope he has foregone the upper body TDs and keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground.
  20. BigRedFan
    I believe nobody scored more bonus points in the NCAA tournament in 2024 than did Shapiro.
  21. BigRedFan
    The takedown which I referenced in the "Fastest TD ever" thread was his third. https://i.imgur.com/dMX9tRk.mp4

    Unfortunately, the view switches cameras at the crucial moment, but this video is not edited and I don't think any frames are removed (it looks just like this on ESPN+). https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1A2JzoDCFB/

    I'll bet you can think of a few things that could have gone wrong for Cornell that didn't go wrong.
  24. BigRedFan
    Rokfin is now streaming (for free) on YouTube. Link was on the Penn State forum. Gonna be over soon...

    So, you got nothing except an ad hominem and a false dichotomy? Impressive. (did it ever occur to you that Shapiro might have something going on besides concussion issues? Despite my user name, I'm not privy to any inside info on the medical conditions of Cornell wrestlers. I'm guessing you don't either, but that doesn't stop you from making medical diagnoses from afar)
