Considering Carr is considered one of the elite guys in his class not a bad result really.Brands loses to Carr 8-4. Alex Thomsen on the verge of losing, comes back to win. Coleman moves on. Bisquet does too. Schriever loses in the first round. Faught moves on.
Nelson Brands continues to improve. He'll be a fine addition to Iowa Wrestling when his day arrives.Considering Carr is considered one of the elite guys in his class not a bad result really.
Looking at the Cadet brackets I noticed that if Renteria gets by his quarter final opponent he has a good shot at wrestling Jaime Hernandez. Aren't they OPRF teammates? Any insider info Papa?
I must admit that I have underestimated JRent. He is damn tough and seems to welcome all comers.JRent with some very slick stuff for a 9-0 win to get him in the semis

Track says Renteria already forfeited in the semis. Why? Did they flip a coin?
Not really Keaton has been wrestling well Alex was like 140 just 2 months ago
Yes, Geerts has wrestled extremely well this offseason but not sure many people here or on a national level would have picked him over Thomsen. Just pointing it out since it wasn't mentioned.
Keaton is very good. Not totally surprised to see him win. He will make a nice 133 pounder for someone in a few years. And I know this is freestyle. However, this is a bit more evidence that though Thomsen is a hell of a nice recruit I still do not view him as a must get with what we have coming in at the lighter weights.

If I could squeeze for a little more info, who did Murin beat for 3rd? Also, did JRent inj def. out of the tourney?Murin finished 3rd, JRent finished 6th.

Congrats to those two studs on making Cadet World Teams. Warner also made the Greco World Team. Will he compete in both world championships?
Maybe Spencer is already hot on the recruiting trail for us. Gavin is also good friends with Gable Steveson! Maybe he took notice of the Hawks doing work this weekend, 1 champ (Meyer), 3 Runner ups (Sorensen, Paddock, Brooks), 1 Third (Kemerer), and 1 Eighth (Wilcke).
Ditto
Spring passed and he grew. Seemed thicker @138. He grew at least an inch maybe 2. His performance well USA wrestling honored him. BTW love ya OH.
Jack Huffman is atracting maybe 141
Go Hawkeyes sorry too jabber
Teasdale appears to be the smallest guy in that pic, imo.
I saw a picture of him, Spencer Lee and Max Murin at young guns apparently getting Max ready for Cadet WTTs and noted that Murin and Teasdale looked to be of similar size.
