And wrestles just like Linc Mac with more of a party all over up top.
Jesuroga and Block to compete at Who's #1 (Friday, 9/9)
- Thread starter Todd Conner
- Start date
What an absolute scrap between Forest and Nate. Forrest is a magician with his defense. Jesuroga was in deep so many times. That first double that Forrest fought off was incredible defense.
Nate is a damn pitbull. I’m pumped for him to come into the Iowa room. Forrest was long and heavier. Great match. That’s a tossup the whole way.

Many of these younger wrestlers need to put a bit more emphasis on the strength aspect of wrestling. I am not just talking about lifting weights, Grip strength is one of the most important aspects, along with body weight training. Spencer is showing his focus on this currently, I have been watching his videos along with guys like Kyle Dake who also focus on body movement strength.
I would love to see SL headhunting this type of training with the younger guys coming in.
I can't give any, SPOONER the FORKER will brow beat me. Lol
Nate loses on riding time 8-7. He wrestled a sloppy match. Couldn't get out from under Jax in the first.
Idk what you were watching but there were several coin flip positions. It was just as close as the score indicated. I will concede that Forrest is extremely unorthodox and lot longer than Nate.
Agreed, take away the first period where Nate got ridden and Nate was the better wrestler. Imo. 3-0 hole with riding time was too much to overcome.
He’s a freshman too. Might wanna call His club coach and open up that young guns pipeline again. I can’t imagine he’ll hold 125.
"coin flip" positions that he's lost every time he's gotten in them against forrest. they aren't coin flip positions. they're forrest's positions. That first takedown wasn't even close. It should have been 6-1 plus riding time at the beginning of the third period.
That's crazy, next USA superstar in the making? Pico, Lee, type good?
I'm still pissed Pico went mma. Lol
I was obsessed with Pico as many of you might remember. 😝
You make it sound like Jax ran him off the mat. That’s far from the case. Jax’s first score came off of short offense, he did great there and won that position, but Nate was a half an inch away from finishing that double, at the very least getting better positioning and not getting his left arm trapped so Jax could work the short offense. You don’t get much closer finishing a double.
2nd period you could argue Nate didn’t deserve his takedown. He would have been down 5-1 going into the 3rd if he doesn’t get that.
3rd period Nate scores off a Jax shot. Scramble, hard whizzer, Nate works his way into an edge of the mat take down on a go behind. Nate turns on the pace and snaps and moves his way into the cleanest takedown of the match. End of the match Nate gets out over his feet and they scramble. Position favors Jax but no points.
I stand by what I said. Those are coin flip positions. It was close.
Mat wrestling has never been a strength for Sebolt kids. Even at the youth level, you rarely seem them choose down and they often cut opponents/choose neutral when on top. They dominate so much from the feet it's hard to blame them but sometimes those skills get overlooked.
Angelo Ferrari just crushed a cadet world champ, complete domination. Kid Is legit blue chip.
Jesuroga is very good, but he just got beat (again) by a freshman at a weight below the lowest collegiate weight. For now, maybe it's time to dial back the "he could start for Iowa next year" hype.
He had Strittmatter and Josh Kindig in his corner. Kindig was a NCAA finalist for Okie State several years back I know. Maybe he’s a coach at Young Guns with Jody.
Kindig is running a club with Josh Dwieza in the Philadelphia area.
Bad night for the Iowa and Penn State recruits, I think all 4 lost, lol.
Going to have to disagree with your assessment.
NJess just needs more mat skills and his time in the Hawk room training with Spencer will rocket them. This along with building his already big motor against Ayala and DeSanto, well I say look out.
But you can’t take it away tonight. It’s like a boxer in a 12 round fight getting knocked down and dominated in the first four rounds and claim if those rounds were different he’d have won the fight?
Just saying, he had a bad first period. Next time maybe he won't.
I actually felt worse about how this Forrest match played out than previous ones. As pointed out, one of Nate's TDs, as pointed out by @js8793 , was a complete fabrication, and folkstyle really showcases Forrest's superior ability to scramble. Of course, not a lot of 125s, even in college, with Forrest's dimensions.
