Nebby at UNI should be a good one tomorrow. Something good to watch with Hawks off this weekend.

 

[HerkHawl]

Couldn't help but notice that only PSU big recruits have won and are still alive at the SS: McHenry, Pierce (think Kaleb Young, Murin level recruit), Ryder, Mirasola, Mirasola. All others bounced out, Steen too. Talk about developing talent? Another example of how recruiting is more important than coaching in college.

that's quite a take. i mean, i guess kudos for having developed the mindset that psu wrestlers should win literally every match

I think it is well established that Carl doesn’t develop talent. More of a James Franklin uber recruiter.

Pierce is in the finals after beating #13 McDougal. And that is laughable that you think he was a Kaleb Young-Murin level recruit. LMAO.

Kaleb Young ranked #26 in the class of 2016. Murin in the 30s I believe.

Connor Pierce not ranked in the top 250 (Willie), nor top 100 (FLO).

no doubt he's a great recruiter. But out of comparative curiosity, how did the "lesser" hawks recruits fare at the soldier salute?

it's just sort of a silly take - better wrestlers do tend to do better at these things.

 

[sdvike]

Happel over Hardy in a great match 7-5. Gross leaving was a huge loss but so is Happel.

Edit: Carter was the Hawk.

When did Happel leave? He was committed to Uni his whole collegiate career.

That's not my mindset, it's than none of their non-blue chip recruits are still in the weak Scuffle. They can lose, but not all of them to lose 2x in 3 rounds of wrestling. Thanks for allowing me to clarify.

Unlike, say, Jace Rhodes are little Voinovich.

I don't care what Willie ranked him, he was a 4x state place winner in Pennsylvania States (7-7-4-2. and lost in the finals to 2x champ Crookham. I don't know WHY he wasn't ranked. Young was a 3x place winner (4-5-1), Murin 4x place winner (5-2-1-1). Not exactly the same but I would RANK him in the same 30-50 range as the others. The only difference is that Willie rewarded the others for wrestling for Young Guns. The kid was 140-18 in Pennsylvania HS and probably had 5 losses over JR/SR years.

Here is a national ranking from his JR year, all he did his SR year was go 37-0 before losing to Crookham in the finals.

Kech with the pin should wrap it up for UNI win over Nebby.

Helluva win for Schwab and UNI!!! They scored a massive upset at 125 with Trevor Anderson knocking off #5 Smith. That really seemed to set the tone as UNI was just seemed to want it more today, winning multiple toss-up matches and scoring 2 huge OT wins.

Can't wait for the Hawks to pound Nebraska in a month!

Schwab gets the most out of the level of recruit he has to work with.

Huskers Drop Dual at No. 10 UNI

Huskers Drop Dual at No. 10 UNI​

The No. 4 Nebraska wrestling team (5-1, 0-0 Big Ten) lost its first dual of the season on Sunday afternoon, falling to No. 10 Northern Iowa (4-0, 2-0 Big 12), 24-9. With seven ranked matchups, and only one bonus point bout, the road dual was a close scramble on the mat.

The Big Red claimed its nine team points on wins from #20 Jacob Van Dee, #5 Ridge Lovett and #17 Lenny Pinto. Two Huskers lost their perfect records, and head coach Mark Manning remains on the hunt for his 300th dual win at Nebraska as the team heads into conference competition.

The top-10 matchup started at 125, with #5 Caleb Smith and Trever Anderson taking the mat. The pair were scoreless through the first period, but Anderson came out with the 5-2 decision using a takedown, escape and ride time. Anderson’s win put the Panthers on the board, and evened the series between Smith and Anderson to one win each.

Another familiar pair at 133, #20 Jacob Van Dee and Julian Farber followed the upset. Van Dee used a takedown in the first period, an escape in the second, and secured the riding time point in the third to take the 5-0 decision victory. At 141, #5 Brock Hardy took on #8 Cael Happel and started with a takedown. After a second period escape, Happel fired back with a takedown and four nearfall points to eventually claim a 7-5 decision and the 6-3 Panther lead.

#5 Ridge Lovett then met #17 Colin Realbuto on the mat at 149, and started with two takedowns from the Husker. Lovett extended his lead with two nearfall points and secured the ride time point in the second period. Realbuto fought to come back in the third period, with three nearfall points and two takedowns, but Lovett took the bout 12-9, tying the team scores at six.

At 157, #3 Antrell Taylor faced #5 Ryder Downey, just a month after the pair had a tight bout in the final round of the Cliff Keen Invite. Taylor and Downey kept it even with escapes and minimal ride time through three periods, which took the pair to overtime. In the last 30 seconds of SV-1, Downey took control and claimed a takedown to grab the 5-2 win.

In his dual debut, Christopher Minto and UNI’s #21 Jack Thomsen had a tight bout at 165. With one escape each through three periods, the pair went into overtime. Thomsen came out with a takedown to win in SV-1, 4-1, and extend the Panther’s lead to six.

At 174, there was another Cliff Keen rematch, this time between #17 Lenny Pinto and #16 Jared Simma. Simma shut out Pinto through two periods, but the Husker came back with two takedowns to take a 6-5 decision win, putting the team score at Nebraska 9, Northern Iowa 12.

In the third top-10 bout of the dual, #5 Silas Allred and #2 Parker Keckeisen met on the mat at 184. After a takedown from Keckeisen and an escape from Allred, the Panther got a fall in 3:38, claiming the first bonus point win of the dual, notching six team points for UNI. At 197, #22 Camden McDanel and #15 Wyatt Voelker traded takedowns and escapes, but the Panther claimed riding time and a 6-4 decision, sealing the UNI win.

The dual closed with the heavyweight bout between #23 Harley Andrews and #16 Lance Runyon. Andrews had an early 5-2 lead in the first period, but Runyon bounced back with a reversal and four nearfall points, using dominant riding time for a 11-6 decision. On the season, the Panthers took their fourth dual win, 24-6, and handed the Big Red its first loss. UNI improved to 30-19-1 against NU all-time.

UP NEXT
The Huskers will return to the Devaney Center to host No. 7 Minnesota on Saturday, Jan. 11. The Big Ten opener is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. (CT) and will be televised on BTN.

I don't care what Willie ranked him, he was a 4x state place winner in Pennsylvania States (7-7-4-2. and lost in the finals to 2x champ Crookham. I don't know WHY he wasn't ranked. Young was a 3x place winner (4-5-1), Murin 4x place winner (5-2-1-1). Not exactly the same but I would RANK him in the same 30-50 range as the others. The only difference is that Willie rewarded the others for wrestling for Young Guns. The kid was 140-18 in Pennsylvania HS and probably had 5 losses over JR/SR years.

Here is a national ranking from his JR year, all he did his SR year was go 37-0 before losing to Crookham in the finals.

If Pierce went 1-2, DNP, you would be arguing that getting top ranked recruits is so important, and Carl can’t develop wrestlers.
But Pierce wasn’t in the top 100, and took second with a win over a good opponent, so now he’s underrated.

You can’t have it both ways.

So Pierce was outside the top 30 in his weight class (132) as a high school junior, yet he's a top 30-50 P4P national recruit as a senior? Doesn't normally work that way.

And you do realize that not all state place winners in high school are created equal, right?

 

[HerkHawl]

He's not even in the top 30 at his weight (132). JFC, give it up, you have no clue what you are talking about if you think this is supporting your position.

He is nationally ranked and that was as a Junior, all he did the following year was go 37-0 until losing in the state finals to a multiple time champ with 3 HS career loses. I would say his HS credentials are easily in the top 15-20 at his weight, unless PA wrestling just isn't that tough these days.

He was a 4x PA place winner. And the following year, his senior year, all he did was go 37-0, until the state finals. Why was Kaleb Young top 30 as a Senior as a 3x place winner and 1 champ? That's right, Young Guns. Bur Pierce is a 4x place winner, runner up to Crookham and he's chop liver? Explain that. Is PA high school wrestling that much weaker than when Young, etc were there? Look at those rankings, one of the kids ahead of him, Ashcroft, is the back-up at Kent State. But you go ahead and follow the rankings as a Bible. Hell, does Cael get quoted in press releases about all recruits? He was quoted when they landed Pierce.

 

[SPOONER]

I think it is well established that Carl doesn’t develop talent. More of a James Franklin uber recruiter.

This is a silly take that just makes Iowa fans look petty and stupid.

Happel over Hardy in a great match 7-5. Gross leaving was a huge loss but so is Happel.

Edit: Carter was the Hawk.

Not only was Carter the Hawk he used up his eligibility four years ago.

Perhaps even worse, you’re pining over a RS senior who has yet to be an all-American, and comparing him to a national champion and two time finalist.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Couldn't help but notice that only PSU big recruits have won and are still alive at the SS: McHenry, Pierce (think Kaleb Young, Murin level recruit), Ryder, Mirasola, Mirasola. All others bounced out, Steen too. Talk about developing talent? Another example of how recruiting is more important than coaching in college.

Recruiting is important, but if you don't develop your recruits you don't average 3 national championship a year. But hey, u have a story to tell. Preach away.

It is a rather simple question. Was he ranked high, or not? A question with an objective answer. Rationalize it all you want and rewrite history.

Objectively, he is a 4x PA state place winner, only losing to Crookham his senior year. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he were ranked top 20 in NCAAs in his 3rd year in college.

 

[HerkHawl]

Really, most of those national champs won as a Freshman or Sophomore. Starr won as a Fresh, Haines was in the finals as a Fresh. I guess we should thank Cal Baptist and Ohio State for developing Messenbrink and Kerk so well.

Huskers Drop Dual at No. 10 UNI

Huskers Drop Dual at No. 10 UNI​

The No. 4 Nebraska wrestling team (5-1, 0-0 Big Ten) lost its first dual of the season on Sunday afternoon, falling to No. 10 Northern Iowa (4-0, 2-0 Big 12), 24-9. With seven ranked matchups, and only one bonus point bout, the road dual was a close scramble on the mat.

The Big Red claimed its nine team points on wins from #20 Jacob Van Dee, #5 Ridge Lovett and #17 Lenny Pinto. Two Huskers lost their perfect records, and head coach Mark Manning remains on the hunt for his 300th dual win at Nebraska as the team heads into conference competition.

The top-10 matchup started at 125, with #5 Caleb Smith and Trever Anderson taking the mat. The pair were scoreless through the first period, but Anderson came out with the 5-2 decision using a takedown, escape and ride time. Anderson’s win put the Panthers on the board, and evened the series between Smith and Anderson to one win each.

Another familiar pair at 133, #20 Jacob Van Dee and Julian Farber followed the upset. Van Dee used a takedown in the first period, an escape in the second, and secured the riding time point in the third to take the 5-0 decision victory. At 141, #5 Brock Hardy took on #8 Cael Happel and started with a takedown. After a second period escape, Happel fired back with a takedown and four nearfall points to eventually claim a 7-5 decision and the 6-3 Panther lead.

#5 Ridge Lovett then met #17 Colin Realbuto on the mat at 149, and started with two takedowns from the Husker. Lovett extended his lead with two nearfall points and secured the ride time point in the second period. Realbuto fought to come back in the third period, with three nearfall points and two takedowns, but Lovett took the bout 12-9, tying the team scores at six.

At 157, #3 Antrell Taylor faced #5 Ryder Downey, just a month after the pair had a tight bout in the final round of the Cliff Keen Invite. Taylor and Downey kept it even with escapes and minimal ride time through three periods, which took the pair to overtime. In the last 30 seconds of SV-1, Downey took control and claimed a takedown to grab the 5-2 win.

In his dual debut, Christopher Minto and UNI’s #21 Jack Thomsen had a tight bout at 165. With one escape each through three periods, the pair went into overtime. Thomsen came out with a takedown to win in SV-1, 4-1, and extend the Panther’s lead to six.

At 174, there was another Cliff Keen rematch, this time between #17 Lenny Pinto and #16 Jared Simma. Simma shut out Pinto through two periods, but the Husker came back with two takedowns to take a 6-5 decision win, putting the team score at Nebraska 9, Northern Iowa 12.

In the third top-10 bout of the dual, #5 Silas Allred and #2 Parker Keckeisen met on the mat at 184. After a takedown from Keckeisen and an escape from Allred, the Panther got a fall in 3:38, claiming the first bonus point win of the dual, notching six team points for UNI. At 197, #22 Camden McDanel and #15 Wyatt Voelker traded takedowns and escapes, but the Panther claimed riding time and a 6-4 decision, sealing the UNI win.

The dual closed with the heavyweight bout between #23 Harley Andrews and #16 Lance Runyon. Andrews had an early 5-2 lead in the first period, but Runyon bounced back with a reversal and four nearfall points, using dominant riding time for a 11-6 decision. On the season, the Panthers took their fourth dual win, 24-6, and handed the Big Red its first loss. UNI improved to 30-19-1 against NU all-time.

UP NEXT
The Huskers will return to the Devaney Center to host No. 7 Minnesota on Saturday, Jan. 11. The Big Ten opener is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. (CT) and will be televised on BTN.

A lot of near fall points in there for UNI. I wonder what they are doing.

Is this really a hill worth dying on? What are we even doing here?

News flash, PSU has good wrestlers!!! Some of them aren't even blue chippers!

Shout out to Doug Schwab! He has those boys looking great. Not to mention all the homegrown talent!
