Xmas32

Things seemed to go largely according to plan. I'm sure Manning was a little annoyed that they didn't pick up bonus/additional bonus in a few spots when the opportunity presented itself. Van Dee was a little unlucky that the ref stopped him for PD when he had Willochel in trouble. Other than that, DeLeon really battled against Neitenbach and 197 was a really great match against two high end guys. McDanel was in deep a couple times, Novak is just a strong SOB. Sledz at 141 looked like he was shot out of a cannon and really put it on the Wyoming kid. Terrific early test this Friday against the Pokes.

That's from 3 months ago.

Injury?

Looks that way!

I think that's the rumor on the street.

Echemendia to Nebraska per Basch.

That's certainly plausible. This means that Minto is definitely staying at 174 now (which I figured he would but it seems officially official now). Some interesting names in the portal. Maybe Berge if he can make 184? Regardless, they've shown an ability to help transfers really peak and Tervel being there for the upper weights is attractive for recruits IMO.

Did not see this one coming. Kick in the you know what for sure as they really liked Eise. Welp, let's see what the old portal has in store.

It could just be me, but I noticed way, way more of wrestlers shaking the opposing coaches hands after matches this year at NCAAs then I have in a long time. I'm not sure if that was the case this year or it's one of those, "I saw a yellow car on the road today and now I see yellow cars everywhere" type thing.

My officially official thoughts for QFs as it pertains to Nebraska's results:

Ended up firing on Penn State U 5.5 National Champs at plus money, was on Circa. Thought long and hard about Penn State 8.5 AAs but ultimately couldn't find a side I liked.

Yep, agreed. There is clear separation there.

Welp, let's see how quickly it takes for Stiles to completely gas out here against SVN.
