Should be a great test. I don't know much about Courtney other than what he did at states this year. It sounds like he's as tough as they come.
Darn missed Justin match what time will his finals be?
To much wasted time looking around flo to find what I want lol
This old fart not good at this tech stuff.

Yes chief I have flo so it should be around 5:30 my time see to me it looks like they gonna do finals before 3rd,4th,and 5th I just so darn confused with the way they set up stuff thanks a lot buddy you da man
Impressed with Courtney after watching him. Good length, flexible, good scrambles, good gas tank and can put guys in danger. With him dropping from 126 in season he will have some length and size on Justin. If you are going for under the radar type kids this is the type you are looking for, great skill set. Per the eyeball test I think he would take Wagner and Rathbun to the wood shed. Just got into the intermat rankings at #17 at 126.
In the last couple weeks Courtney has beaten 3 PA state champs and a 3 time CA champ. Not shabby.
That was ugly. Courtney is the real deal and seems to be hitting his stride. Mej looks like a career 125. I would have liked to have seen Thompsen there to see how he would have fared. Not one doubt in my mind he could compete with both.
That was a lot of wrestling for a kid from the west coast today. Meija looked a little tired. 3 matches in one day against top tier opponents, while traveling across country. Not to shabby. I would take him on my team any day. He is going to be a winner at the college level.
Courtney is from Athens, PA, which is only about 2 miles from the NY border and only an hour from Cornell. By contrast, State College is 2 1/2 + hours away. Athens is in District 4, a rural part of the state with almost all smaller division (AA) schools and is the same district that Zain R and Nate Brown are from. I too have heard Cornell is the likely destination for Courtney but that is just internet discussion.
Courtney has been working out at FLWC for years with Yianni D, who's already committed there.
If he somehow slips away from Koll, Lehigh is probably next up. Word is he also likes them. Santoro has as many wrestlers from District 4 as from the Lehigh Valley. They all love Nate Brown, they're tight with each other, and John Hughes grew up there.

And just to show you how dominant Lee is, he recently teched a kid (15-0) who'd beaten Thomsen previously. He's obviously head and shoulders above everyone else.
Agreed. Lees attacks and pace are way above the rest.
This is the last big folkstyle tournament of the year is why I wanted to see Thompsen there. Id really like to see him wrestle Courtney. Thomp is an excellent finisher and finishes quickly which is why I'm optimistic. He's also terrible on bottom and Courtney is a hammer on top.

For full disclosure that's Trent Hidlay, who I believe is a So. Not big brother Hayden, who is on his way to NC State.
I had a feeling Courtney would win this one. Keep in mind it was a 126 pounder vs a 120 pounder (flo seemed to not mention it) and it was pretty obvious looking at them on the mat. Without an unlikely growth spurt there is no way Mejia is ever bigger than 125. Justin needs to get better on bottom and leg defense. He got caught flat footed a lot which concerns me. Many current members of the team have the same issue.
That's why the plus 5 pounds is dumb with night before weigh ins. You have guys that can cut tons of weight and have a whole day to recover.
Don't know how many guys were predicting freshman AA for JM...and no, the shine isn't off, at least for me. Justin essentially wrestled up a weight with the five pound weight allowance. He wrestled at 120 this season. Josiah Kline wrestled up at 132, Courtney at 126. Now, did considerable shine get taken off of Spencer Lee when he got beat twice in freestyle vs Daton Fix? No. Lee basically walked around at 120 while Fix cut down to 120...one could tell Fix was just bigger.

"this board was convinced" JM would be "a freshman AA."
