Cali can make a really good wrestler look bad.

And that is why I want him to get on his offense against Mess when they meet. He has to set aside some of that respect for Mess’ talent and go after him. Love Caliendo!!

Parco was the only one that surprised me. The rest of the Hawks who won their matches wrestled very smart in my opinion against very respectable opponents. I wanted to see Parco open up, but I reflect back to Brandon Sorensen. If Parco keeps them close and wins with great defense like BS did then I’m good.

Illinois was doing anything to keep things close and they were coached to do so, how many shots did they take the entire match. Parco had some difficulty with Websters length but Webster did not make one attempt at offensive until the last 10 sec and usually he has a high attack rate.
Parco could have done more and was clearly frustrated at the end of the match. Look what Illinois did at 174 and 197 the only thing these guys wanted to do is keep it close to save face, at least teams like Army and Stanford came to wrestle!

Caliendo is Italian — hate to ruin your post. 😂

His name says Italian, his hair says Irish.

Agree on all fronts my friend.

The thing with MM is he is so high octane that it puts Cali in a defensive mode which is not his style and takes him out of his game. I know Cali is smart and will game plan. Almost all PSU matches are going to be great but Cali vs MM is going to be must see.
