Anyone know why he wasn't at the Midlands? I still think he should go 33 next year. Mitch McKee, Seth Gross, and Mickey Philippi are all at 33 this year, should be possible for him also.
Happel
- Thread starter edquinn06
- Start date
After watching him up close at the Parisi open, he looked smaller than a lot of the guys he wrestled. Got ragdolled pretty good by a couple well muscled guys. I thought 133 right then also.
It's settled, Happel to 133 next year. Actually not a bad lineup next year. I think they could finish top 5.
25 Wags/Rath
33 Happel
41 Turk
49 BS
57 Kem
65 Bull
74 Young
84 Wilke
97 Holliway

I'd put Laux at 25. If Marinelli goes this year I think he will RS next year. So Gunther at 65 or you could flip he and Young at 65/74. Also Bowman wrestled 74 last year. Could see him go back down.
I don't think he can enroll until he gets a screen name, 100 posts, and 50 likes. So not yet.
Your eyes might "water", but not in the way you would like them to.........................
Mike Evans was 189 and 2 years later 165.
Evans was never 189. He wrestled up at that weight for the team because he was good enough to do it.
Fully aware of Mike Evans and I see no correlation between him and Happel. Just the idea of Happel at 133 seems to be a message board dream much more than anything discussed in public by anyone involved. Maybe let the wrestler say it's an option for him before we plug him in hypothetical line ups is what I am saying.
Again, doesn't mean he can make it. I will be pleasantly surprised if he can. Lot of guys could say the only way to make the line up is to drop. Until Carter says he is considering it I will assume he is at 141.
This message board dictates what weight Happel will wrestle at. Last year we decided Grothus should go 141 and he did..............
We generally know best.
I heard from two people last year 133 was an option for college. One through the grapevine came from one of his HS teammates. Maybe it was just talk, but I guess no one will know until next year.
Of course we do! Is anyone actually questioning that fact?!
There is a LOT of Turk hype on this board, and I'm always wondering what I'm missing? Is he destroying Gilman, Clark, and Sorenson in the room? Or did I miss something from the Luther Open? If he is as good as most on here say he is Happel's only option next year will be 133.
Nah, he just screwed up our timing by having shoulder issues on his way down to 141.We just made the decision a little late.......IIRC.
Stickley seems to me he gets over looked in numerous threads lately. Me thinks it's a mistake.IMO.
He's a bit of a forgotten man because of the unusual route he's taking I think. Doesn't appear anyone has locked up anything in those lower weights, so certainly he's in the mix as much as anyone at 125/133.
My name's a dead giveaway ;-)Guess we have more in common than I thought.

This boards obsession with the wrestling god if Vince Turk is odd. Kind of like him starting over carton. This was never going to happen.
It'll be a miracle if Turk ever makes 41 again or ever cracks the starting lineup.
Huh? Please 'splain. A Mcgoogle search turns up nothing.
But if turk grew haze, we might have something in common.
C'mon Man! Yeah, because 3x AA Carton was going to be so difficult to unseat............. unseat from a spot he didn't have.
Turk was 18-4 last year, Carton 10-5 (and 2 of those wins were forfeits). Seth Gross beat Carton and Ryan from Iowa, and lost to Turk. Carton beat Turk 8-7 at Midlands, where Turk went 3-2. Ashnault decisioned Carton and Teched Turk. I don't think either necessarily "shined" over the other, and Turk is a couple years behind Carton in his "development".
I have no idea how good Vince Turk ultimately is, but I do know he wasn't having to take out Mark Ironside to gain a varsity spot. There's the rub as far as I'm concerned, and I assure you I haven't once touted Vince Turk as anything other than an option at 141.
Hey I like Turk but this board is obsessed with him. Some pegging him as a high AA this year.
He beat Gross early in the year when gross was just getting his life back together. It wouldn't have been close later in the year.
Carton beat Turk last year.
Carton beat Turk in a wrestle off this year also.
From "room talk" Happel did just fine vs Turk before Turk got injured. with an entire year of maturing and improving I don't think this is close next year. That's if he can even make 41 ever again.
He may have a chance to start once sorenson graduates but a ton can change between now and then.
This is the furthest thing from a "Vince Turk stinks" post but it's just the way it is.
