Donnybrook matchups of note?

[jrod65]

The Dan Gable Donnybrook tournament is this weekend. Saw on Twitter that Gavin Nelson and Ben Kueter will be in the same bracket. For those that follow HS, any other big name matchups that could happen?

wow..impressive field there. Going to be some great matches.

WSR there, so more Hawks recruits

People can do whatever they want but I still find it to be a weird tactic to host this event the same weekend as the Independence Invite. It’s almost like they did it intentionally.

Looks like Naak destroyed Magayna 12-1.

I broke down and did Rofkin finally but hate the fact the individual matches are not able to be selected to watch after they are done. If you don't catch it live you are kind of screwed.

Noticed that Solon is going at Independence but no Hayden Taylor. Haven't heard his name lately...out with an injury?

I know that would be my first thought when planning a huge event like this...

Not certain if/when he is wrestling this year.

World chase tag is on espn news tho!! Wish they'd just put wrestling in instead of that crap and cornhole.

I agree. If it's something I can do, it's not a sport.

Kueter vs. Nelson finals up next. Battle of two highly ranked wrestlers. Should be a good one.

 

[jrod65]

Scoreless after 1

 

[jrod65]

Nelson takes down. Quick escape, 1-0 Nelson. 3rd period, Kueter takes down

 

[jrod65]

Quick escape for Kueter.

 

[jrod65]

Not a lot of action. Going to ot.

Nelson tries(unsuccessfully) for the inside trip. Kueter gets the td for the win.

Kueter too much height advantage on Nelson for that inside trip to work.

Ben is just an absolute animal…. With plenty of room to improve. Scary as hell for the competition. Exciting as hell for Iowa wrestling and football fans…. And a great kid with a great family to boot.

He has put on noticable size and strength since this summer when he first moved up to 220.

Kueter's potential is off the charts. If he is able to add even a little nuance to his wrestling he will overwhelm even the top guys in college with his athleticism.

The big question to me is can it be done to be a high level performer in wrestling while not doing it full time. I am not real confident that it can be done, hopefully I'm wrong, but I would love to have a backup plan as well.
