Gabe Arnold can back up his words against Starocci in the dual. Perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cornella is 5-8 against common opponents, whereas Bartlett is 12-0. I don’t think Cornella would score an offensive point on that match. I could see Brooks putting an MD on Cardenas, too. That said, good picks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The interesting thing is that WS has Nebraska predicted to beat them at 141, 149 AND 184. I could see Pinto trying to YOLO-throw Truax but I think Truax gets him 9 out of 10 or more. Pinto has some pretty bad losses whereas Truax is 1-1 against the returning finalist at the weigh. Also, isn’t Pinto rumored to be dropping to 174? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Penn State, assuming everyone goes, will have a particularly stacked team this year. 8 of their 10 starters will start the year ranked in the top 3, with 125 and, ahem, 165 being the exceptions. On WrestleStat, for example, they are predicted to lose no more than 3 matches to any one team, mostly at 125 and 165. There are a good number of very good teams predicted to score 3 or 0 points against them. So, which two teams do you think could combine to beat them, with their best 10 against the best of Penn State? A good one that I saw someone else post was Nebraska + VT. They might get four, maybe even five but PSU picks up bonus to win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lachlan McNeil would have to be certified, batshit crazy to transfer from UNC to OSU. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He has never competed at U23s, and he skipped at least one year of HS wrestling to joint Yianni at Spartan Combat/Cornell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried to describe her technique to someone as Greco and Judo with Freestyle reattacks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Terrible news. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. All the PSU board guys say he’s a great young man who is very kind to kids at clinics and camps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Taylor has already coached a couple kids that have impressive results: U17 silver with Kasak, U17 bronze with Ryder, and Haines took 2nd at NCAAs as a barely 18 year old true freshman. Dake coached Yianni to one degree or another. JB was at Nebraska off and on. In terms of hanging it up, JB, Taylor, Dake. I don’t think Taylor leaves Penn State short of basketball/football coach type money. He’s got too much invested in State College. M2, his wife’s juice bar, and I know he just bought another building. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That lineup will blank a good number of top 10 teams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. If he didn’t take the Michigan job, as rumored, he’s not going to UNC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jordan Burroughs took 3rd at 149 before moving up to 157 and winning. Retherford took 5th at 141 before taking a RS, bumping up to 149 and killing everyone for three years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nickal, Taylor… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Comes down to the points of the individual matches. A loss where you lose 10-2 scores more team points than getting teched 11-0. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quite a few. Dake, Taylor, Ruth, Nickal, Yianni… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I want to see refs start swiping like they do for back points in folk. New proposed rules: You have 10 seconds to return to center. 3min total injury time, unlimited blood time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is Berge going to go 184 or 197? Had a great tournament to take Bronze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m still a Facundo fan but he only sees the lineup if someone else takes a RS or gets injured. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wisconsin. We’ll see if he goes. Penn State doesn’t need him to kill everyone at NCAAs and he has an OLY RS in his pocket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I appreciate their skill but a lot of Russian and former Eastern Bloc wrestlers do this. Give me India and Iran. They wrestle hard, and honorably. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This Russian 61kg kid is embarrassing. I’ve never seen a more blatant effort to stall and lengthen a match to recover. It’s pathetic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which is why I didn’t predict him to win NCAAs this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
