Kemerer
- Thread starter taketop
- Start date
If I'm reading this correctly, he beat the ASU starter 8-3 while Sorenson beat the ASU backup 6-0.
Max kept it close w a 4-3 score. Do I think Max is close to his talent maybe, idk for sure....but this is every other match for Tshirt. Jason has a tendency of making avg wrestlers look good.
Maruka is redshirting I think he's a better option then Kraus but they also have national qualifier Pagdilao there as well who's been out point being I wouldn't necessarily consider Maruka a back up to Kraus
I don't know if anyone is claiming to move out Sorensen for Kemmerer. But I think Kemmerer would AA this year.
Maruca a better option than Kraus, are you crazy? You’re correct Maruca is not the backup, he’s third on the depth chart. Maruca lost to Villarreal in the wrestle off who Kraus beat 5-0 in the final wrestle off.
#3 seed hasn't looked good. He squeaked out a ot win over RU back up that Sorenson destroyed in the dual with RU. Look for Kemerer to bonus point Richardson.
True story...I don't know about bonus points but I think Kemdawg gets the win and moves on to meet TShirt.
Kemdawg is fun to watch. I am really happy he is a Hawkeye. He will need to create some angles against T shirt if he makes it that far.
I'm going with Kemerer as well. Richardson is very good but not sure he's better than the 5-6 guys ranked right behind him. He placed 7th last year going 4-2 with wins over 3 unranked guys and #14 seed, had a 29-9 season record, he hasn't faced any ranked opponents this year and has won 3 of his 7 matches by 2 points or less. Will be a real test for Kemerer, but he's beatable.
Well...Kem has not had the freshman blues yet underneath...He explodes out of there against whoever he wrestles. If he gets to that point, hope Brands has him go down for the learning experience.
Was hoping everyone got his last name spelled right for a change when I opened this thread. But.....should have known someone would put two m's in there and where are you from crab legs ?
Don't disagree, but assume B.S. Gives him a taste.
. I need lessons in posting emoticons....
Win the match. I hope that decision is based on putting him in the best position to win as opposed to a learning experience. Along with the practice room there are other matches/tournaments to learn in. If you have a chance to knock off a NC/2x AA as a true freshmen, do it. Besides it would go against the confidence building philosophy with the freshman tournaments he's been plowing through to decide now is the time to learn a lesson over giving him the best chance to win. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for taking knocks to learn/build for the future but in this particular case don't let lesson learning trump winning.
It's not everyone else's fault "Kemmerer" misspells his own name.
Couldn't agree more. After all, the best 'learning experience' is learning how to win high level matches.
Ha, I knew that was coming. He'd better save those for NCAAs as he quickly nearing his annual limit.
all in fun. Just say sorry for the cruel things you said about poor Nathan and I'll leave it alone.
Apologies are a sign of weakness and I would soon be eaten alive in this forum.
To be fair - taketop didn't just say that "Kemdawg" was hanging with Sorensen in the room. He said he was taking it to him, to the point that TnT should bump BS up a weight and pull Kem's shirt. Immediately. And the same for Turk. He was dominating in the room and needs to be our 141 this season to have any chance at Nationals. So enough of the back-patting now.
I'm one of those "many" and it still stands. Kemerer hasn't done a whole lot that has shocked a lot of people that I am aware of. He ain't beating Sorensen now or anytime soon however. If for some reason they do meet up, I got some cold cash I'd be more than willing to part with.
IMO, a redshirt year is about development and growth. A guy like Kemerer needs to know what his strengths and weaknesses are going into a season where the wins actually count...especially with guys like TShirt and Zain around your weight class. A match like this a perfect time to taken some chances and find out.
Kemerer will get third and ODU kid will go for 5th
I have no problem thinking Kemerer can beat that kid if they wrestled again. Kem needs to watch the reattacks on the legs...wish he had one more minute. Not bad against a returning AA. He bulks up a bit, gets his ride going more often and not get overly aggressive and he's right in there...especially when he's wrestling and learning match by match next season. Also, if 149 were a hole...I'd have no problem not redshirting him. But it's not. Wish he could have wrestled TShirt.
I still can't believe Kemdawg didn't cut him after the td with about 28 seconds left. The kid was gassed and ref was free with the stall call. That's ok though it will be good for him to work his way through the consolation side.
I think he is confident that he can turn guys in that situation. He has a great ride, but Cory Clark he is not...yet.
that match didn't change my opinion of kem at all. I am still very impressed by him. real deal
It looked like the kid was holding onto Kemerer, not letting him cut him. By the time he got free, there was not enough time. Kemerer made one bad move trying to roll out of the leg ride and got put to his back for the 4-pointer. Freshman mistake maybe. He made a strong comeback but ran out of time. Very impressed with him all day today. He's the real deal and will only get better in the Iowa room.
Yep, he got a little impatient on bottom and made a four point mistake. Doubt he'll do that again.
It's all about learning from your mistakes and he will learn from this one and get some great matches today on the consolation side. Did V Tech wrestle at midlands Metcalfs freshman year?
