Great job by Kemdawg

[artradley]

He was wrestling great, gets caught in a Peterson in what had be one of the worst moments in his career, then comes back and wrestles even better in the consolations. He is one helluva wrestler who seems to be getting better every day. I'm really looking forward to watching him these next few years.

Seeing him widen the gap with Big Mouth Berger is great to see. From OT to regular decision to major.

It was neat to see the progression. I thought the last time they wrestled and Kem took him down early that he would just pour it on. He seemed to shut down in that match. He obviously learned from it.

If everyone on our team kept the pressure on the way Kemdog does, there would be many fewer complaints in the cesspool (notice I refrained from saying "no complaints").

Why can't we still complain?

Besides Clark of course, if I had to pick an OW...he would be it. So sound fundamentally, aggressive, and just mentally tough. I am glad TnT could take this little project out of P.A. and build him to being one of the top guys at 157 in such a short time

I hope Kemerer believes in his talent as much as us. I, for one, believe he can not just compete with Nolf but beat him.

Just think what a very good coach could do with a whole lineup of projects like that.

I said it yesterday in the PBP thread in session 5, he has the talent and wrestles aggressively enough to beat anyone, including Nolf.

With that said, if he takes on a leadership role, either on purpose or just naturally, the way he wrestles could be contagious with all of these new recruits as well as the kids waiting in redshirt.

Nice work Kemdawg!

I hope his wrestling is the new school return to Iowa Style wrestling

He has to get stronger and be able to go the whole 7 minutes with almost zero mental lapses. He can do it but at least we have seen his starting point.

Chief: just about edited my post to include he needs to hit the weights to beat Nolf

A good strain and great wrestler, love what he brings to Hawks and he sounds like a leader. 9 more just like him.

10 Freshman Kemerers = 190 points at NCAAs.

That could be sarcasm, but coming from you I don't think it is. I'm not sure how his points would add up with nine more of him this year. Emoji here.

Gotcha. Thanks

He will use the off season to put on strength. Nolf horses him. That won't happen if he gains power.
