  1. Good point. But I’m guessing that’s a bit exaggerated. Let’s say he’s 315. He could easily drop 7-8lbs a week in December and clock in at 289 around the New Year. Certify, and he’s a week from wrestling at 285. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. The youngest is a senior in high school who would be curb stomped by the top 10 guys at 165. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. What? Kerk weighed in at 254.something for the Lehigh dual. He’s never clocked in at more than 260, IIRC. And, only times he’s ever been “light” were when he was coming back from a staph infection that hospitalized him, his freshman year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Now THOSE are some quality losses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Shane Griffith: Carr, Joseph, O’Toole. He’ll get a crack at Starocci in the regular season, maybe at B1Gs, maybe at NCAAs. And, depending on draw, he might find Mekhi Lewis on his side of the NCAA bracket.
  6. I think Kerk wins 10-4 or so. Davison isn’t on the level and wrestled a terrible match against Bastida. Not exactly a good measuring stick to compare him to Kerk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. It’s the worst thing about freestyle. When I saw that happen to Gilman at Worlds two years ago I thought, “Oh, he dodged that bullet. Landed on his knees.” NOPE. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. This. Bartlett’s problem is not athletic ability. At all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Because an arm spin or “correct throw”that results in no control in folk results in 2 or 4 in Freestyle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Opening dual weekend and usually around the first or second weekend of February, they look like crap. Then they come out and pistol whip everyone in January and March. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Agreed. I haven’t seen anything that suggests he beats Carr in folk. That said, the signs I’ve seen so far are very, very positive. He’ll see three top 10 guys right after the new year. That’ll show where he’s at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. In his post match interview for the Ridge Riley award, Starocci called Mesenbrink a “psycho” on the practice mat. He meant it as a compliment. Context: Truax and Mesenbrink as practice partners. Carter has wrestled all of the above many times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Just watched Mesenbrink’s match. That kid is a terror. PSU kids generally have good motors. But Mesenbrink is going at a rate that most can’t match for a period, let alone the entire match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Two weeks after Brooks dunks on the returning NCAA finalist at the weight, he’s ducking Beard. Well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. He hasn’t progressed and looks huge for 165. Might have a higher ceiling at 174. Not a super deep weight this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I’m guessing a flu is hitting the team right now. Wonder if Kasak weighed in light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. No SVN. Kasak. Purportedly no Mesenbrink or Claw at 165. No Truax or Ball at 184. Barr? No Brooks. Not sure who will go at 197. AJ Fricchione, I presume? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Mark Manning still walks this earthly plane, does he not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. He made Mesenbrink look very small.
  20. I could see him sitting a Starocci or Kerk type guy. They’d get in a better day’s work at an NLWC practice with Nolf or Varner, respectively. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. He also teched him, previously. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Crookham looks like a dude that is pulling a gigantic amount of weight. If they start at 125, he might be looking a bit rough, that soon off the scale. Hines, unless he can control himself, will put him right in Bartlett's counter-attack wheelhouse. This could be a 4-2 match or another MD for Bartlett. Brooks could MD Beard, too. I expect bonus at 149, 157, 165, 174, 184, 197 and 285 if everyone goes. I could also see PSU training through this and maybe looking a bit sloppy.
  23. I think Penn State might get more than 1.4 points out of Mesenbrink. Just a guess, though.
  24. I don't know how anyone who wrestles from the knees isn't immediately banged for stalling.
  25. Crookham/Nagao, Hines/Bartlett, Brooks/Beard. Or, will McGonagle go up to 141 and Hines to 149? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
