Think you mean potentially losing Lamer. So much happening and so fast. Hopefully they'll be able to fix things over the next six months.

Once they place the skin grafts, they don't take that long to heal. It's probably the rehabbing of that leg over the next year to try to get it back to something of what it was before that will be most challenging to Peyton.

Great cities, but what arena in San Diego would be big enough for NCAAs?

He was enrolled at Michigan, but supposedly the NCAA wouldn't release him to compete.

Wonder what they were talking about after the last TD.

Schultz was a teenager back then, and has grown well into the weight, doing Greco almost year round. Adam has been focusing on the NFL for the past two years, and actually looked pretty good in his other matches. In spite of getting pointed, his body lock didn't look too bad. Hopefully he can work back into contention.

Adam still has it, but still a lot of rust to shake off.

Too bad, although if he made it down to 306, that's a long way down from 475. I hope he keeps it off.

Has anyone actually been around Rulon lately? Does it really look like he'll be able to make 130Kg or will this just be a repeat of 2012?

I'd think that if he does another collegiate season, it will probably be to help the Minnesota program more than a desire to get a third title. What does he have to prove at this level? I'd much rather see him focus on winning additional world and Olympic titles.

Rogers was clearly undersized against Surber in the dual. Unless he does a lot of growing in the next several months, he's 184.

My thoughts exactly

A lot of cases of necrotizing fasciitis end up requiring amputation - I hope they've got things under control right now. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

Cam was actually a few pounds light going into nationals. I doubt he'll be moving up.

That I don't know. I just saw it in the Facebook link that I posted.

My former neighbor went to Harvard as an undergrad and ASU for his PhD (archeology). ASU has a fairly good program. He ended up as a tenured professor at Buffalo.

I actually thought it was going to go to Yanni, but Vito is well deserved, as he went into the match with all guns blazing. Unlike the Cassioppi match, Parris wrestled Kerkvliet much more conservatively, and didn't take any unnecessary chances.

Just got home from Tulsa, and this thread is the first I see. Pretty ridiculous.

Patrick Brucki was also a Big 10 Distinguished Scholar as an engineering graduate student. https://www.facebook.com/michiganwrestling/photos/a.571596109554337/5134296703284232/?type=3

I'm not going to predict an actual team placement other than they certainly can place top 10. Given that this year they're not contending for the team title, I'd rather watch them be underdogs and try and exceed expectations. Ragusin, Lewan, Amine, Finesilver, and Parris are obviously going to carry things. If Medley wrestles well, and has an opportunity to outlast opponents in the consolation brackets he is a dark horse for the podium. Kind of the same for Mattin, depending on his health going into the tournament. Lamer seemed to be tiring at the end of the season, with some injury issues, although he will be much more relevant for the next three years.

McHenry went as far as to win the wrestle-off at 125 at the beginning of the season, but injuries and Jack Medley gradually sidelined him. Overall, he's simply too small for 125. Hopefully he'll be able to shine as an international 53kg/115 pound wrestler.

Sorry to hear - that really stinks as he's improved so much over the past few years.

Not long after, it came out that there were accusations of NCAA violations in previous years: https://archives.nd.edu/observer/1992-05-01_v24_141.pdf (see page 40). There was a more in-depth article in the Chicago Tribune. What I later heard was that the NCAA was planning on conducting an investigation on the alleged violations. The ND administration, fearing that the NCAA might use the opportunity to scrutinize their entire athletic department, most notably the football program, responded by axing the wrestling program. The NCAA subsequently lost interest in the matter, and never came.
