Kennedy and Rathjen win Last Chance Open

What's the story here? Are we sending guys to keep this from being an isu intra-squad meet where they all forfeit to each other?
 
Probably just getting our guys some more matches. Are you against our guys wrestling?

Doesn't make much sense to send guys just to piss with ISU. If I remember correctly, matches against your own teammates don't count toward the criteria for Nationals, so them wrestling each other wouldn't matter.

Good to see a few of our guys get to wrestle a little more.

Brandon Eggum said that Minnesota will be sending possibly 10-12 guys to this as well, so it shouldn’t just be ISU.
 
Two questions"
1) WHO'S CHEERING FOR Matthews?
2) Swafford*. ---*Unattached
PLEASE DON'T BE A MISTAKE.
Says they’re all unattached. It wasn’t that way the first time I looked. Not sure how to interpret that?

I saw that too. Cullan and Brennan were attached and have wrestled attached. Maybe something has changed in the rules that we aren't aware of yet. I would be ok with that!

Is Norfleet a good recruit for ASU? Would have liked a bigger margin over Stotts but I'll take the wins.

PK is obviously a huge piece for us going forward, I have a feeling he'll be ready and more motivated when the matches count for real after 2 years of exhibitions.

He either teched or pinned him earlier this year. He was sloppy and got taken down twice in the first. I’m not too worried about him.
