I am expecting Nolf to be good at Freestyle, yes. His problem is going to be weight class. He's a 70kg'er. I think he's going to make a world team. Maybe even this year. James Green has looked very normal as of late, losing a match he should have won against Bat-Erdene at World's and then losing in consecutive months to a very good but not elite David Baev. With Oliver and Molinaro determined to wrestle at 65kg, Green's spot at 70 will really only be tested by Nolf, and if he ends up at 70, Zain Retherford. The real question is where Nolf ends up in 2020 when 70kg is a non-Olympic weight. Going up to 74kg to challenge a 5x world champ and a 1x world champ in Burroughs and Dake is not ideal.
If this dual ends in a tie Bo and IMar loosen their ties and go sudden victory rules to decide criteria.
PSU-OSU dual predictions, lfg! 125: Heinselman DEC Schnupp (3-0 OSU) 133: Pletcher DEC Stossel (6-0 OSU) 141: McKenna DEC Lee (9-0 OSU) ---could see a MD here 149: Jordan DEC Berge (12-0 OSU) ---could see a MD here 157: Nolf TF Hayes (12-5 OSU) ---could see a FALL here 165: Joseph MD Campbell (12-9 OSU) 174: Hall MD Smith (13-12 PSU) 184: Martin DEC Shakur (15-13 OSU) 197: Nickal FALL Moore (19-15 PSU) 285: Cassar MD Singletary (23-15 PSU) I have the matches going 5-5 but PSU winning 23-15. Think we'll need an upset from Moore to win the dual which I suppose is maybe possible? If Kollin wrestles the best he's wrestled in the last two years and Bo gets smallpox? Gratz Nits.
Hmm...I'll just say this...it would be a miracle if PSU could win this dual because...well, you aren't going to see a few kids... congrats bucs
Know Shakur is hurting, but I've heard he's still wrestling. Won't really matter unless one of PSU's big 5 sits.
Yep. His Tyrannosaurus rex body doesn’t help against a much longer and quicker opponent. That kid was fucking good.
Not real good against Michigan either, he can sure talk a big game though. Insane recruiter, mediocre coach.
McKenna gassed hard. Knew it was going to be a tough one when I saw him get up from an exchange and take a DEEP breath early in the 2nd. Lots of energy expended there.
Still have faith in McKenna, just a dumb match. The S&C between the 2 programs seems just as glaring as the game plans. Opposite of our football programs.
Wrestlers are hilarious when they’re interviewed. It’s like they don’t understand people who don’t think exactly like them. I love it.
If it makes ya feel any better VT shit the bed bs UNC today. Should be a big wake up call for us after a couple good weeks.
Martin trying to go upper body on Manville the most perplexing payp of that match. So many other places to get points
