    U20 Nationals in Vegas

    I don't have access to Willie's article, but I'm assuming he has him behind Hopke and Sahakian (high schoolers ranked ahead of him) and Attao and Mullen, college freshmen who have some pretty good freestyle accolades.

    Olympic Wrestling

    I like both. Freestyle is exciting but I wouldn’t want to see the NCAA transition away from folkstyle.

    Sticking Gfeller was the highlight of that run. Also just realized he beat Tommy Askey the match before Gfeller.

    Carter Pearson Commits!

    Won state at 120 this year. Beat Jake Knight in the finals. Also has a freestyle win over #4 (113) Munaretto from last summer. Let's keep getting SE Polk kids. Edit: adding to this, he also beat a Kansas state champ and a Minnesota state champ last year. Beat Ayala and Knight at state duals...

    ***2024 NCAA Wrestling - Session 6/FINALS (Sat., 6:00)***

    Watched all night but didn’t have volume on outside of Carr’s match. I hope the other 9 matches didn’t include the announcers talking about the runner-up the entire time the champion was celebrating on the mat after winning an NCAA title.

    AA Prediction time

    Over. I'm done doubting this team or hedging my bets to keep from being disappointed. They look ready to go.

    NCAA Seeding Discussion

    Surely the NCAA rewarding ducking will help grow the sport.

    Interviews with Dresser & Swiderski following Session III

    I know we want all our studs in the same lineup, but I think it's more likely that we have one AA-level guy that just isn't in the lineup (and maybe taking a RS year), as opposed to bumping a bunch of guys up to non-optimal weights. Good problem to have with the right coaching staff to solve it.

    ***2024 Big 12 Wrestling Championships (March 9-10)***

    Bailey and Frost have both beat #11 Zeth Romney, who has some really good wins this year also (Latona, Colaiocco, Serrano, Van Dee). However, I don't disagree with the overall sentiment that the 133 rankings are tricky, especially for Frost. It's not a very tough weight in the Big 12, and we...

    ***2024 Big 12 Wrestling Championships (March 9-10)***

    If Kysen wins first round, he’d only need to beat a winless guy and then one of Strickenberger/Anderson/Griffin to place top 6. Needs to get it done. Losing right away makes things much more difficult.

    I think your last sentence is the only real takeaway here. I don’t feel the need to worry about Casey or MJ. They’re good. We’ve seen them be good for months. One close match/loss to a teammate they wrestle all the time isn’t a huge deal. 125 is weird, but that’s par for the course this year.

    Christian Castillo Commits!!

    Wondered the same thing. Couldn’t find a recent bad loss for him. Maybe just inactivity/lack of results?

    He’s been at 120 this year.
