Doesn’t matter. My boy is whipping either one
Nope.....not gonna bite.
Get them grades and diploma.....
Hit the mat and then we'll talk.
first things first...
Hope to see PD3 in a Hawkeye singlet this year.
I want to see him throw that Beaker looking Nickal on his head.
Shietttttttttt....PD3 a genius....grades are golden, baby.
Nobody going upstairs with Bunky Boy. hahahaI want to see him throw that Beaker looking Nickal on his head.
If he wrestles for Iowa, I will definitely cheer for him, but I would absolutely favor both wrestlers over him at this point.
I have yet to see Downey show a gas tank to be able to stay with Moore, especially when giving up size.
As far as Nickal goes, Downey is definitely dangerous enough to hit a big move, but he is equally susceptible to one when Nickal is the #1 current DI guy at kitchen sinking people. As a result, I would almost always call this match to end in a fall with Nickal being a 3-1 favorite to be the "pinner".
With the above said, hopefully Downey steps on the mat at midlands and shows he is rust free and the gas tank is full. Put your money where your mouth is and prove it on the mat. If that happens, I might just rethink things and pick him in March.

I didn't tell that to myself; The Johns Hopkins University did (play him in chess
). PD3 hasn't been pinned since he was in 9th grade...in the National Prep semis vs a guy you might have heard of...Mario Mason, a senior and #1 ranked high schooler in the nation...so don't think for a NY minute that Nickal is pinning PD3...that shietttt just isn't happening, pal. BTW, did you see who pinned whom in the PD3 vs Quentin Wright match? I have him beating either one...Moore or Nickal.p.s. Did you see Nickal backout upstairs at the Open? When fresh, he'll break string bean in half.

Got teched by Nickal once already, don't see it changing because it's folkstyle now.
In all honesty I don't think they ever wrestle... PD3 will not make it to Iowa.

I wasn't discounting his wrestling talents.
F off, fool. Nickal hadn't wrestled a single match, but PD3 had Avery, Asper and Dean (19 minutes) BEFORE Nickal. His only training was chasing around chickens on a farm with Ben Provisor, and PD3 still took down Nickal like it was nothing...after Nickal backed out of the upper body ties. PD3 going to hammer him.
But you were discounting his IQ and his resolve. Regardless, you're wrong on both counts.
I like having new blood like you that's here to learn more about wrestling. I look fotward to the day you learn the difference between free and folk techs.
I would love to see it too. Wrestling for Life will be making some nice wager $.

Go away. You’re not a hawk fan. Beat it.
Definitely 5 cents. I see him turning out a lot like DT after graduation. He'll make more whining teams than World Teams.
Speaking of blood, PD3 is on that tiger blood. Bring on Moore and Nickal in a tag team match and he still pins them both.
I would like to see if PD3 can keep himself straightened out get on the team and show what he can do. Bowman is fitting into 184 nicely it seems and has the tempo that the hawks need so if PD3 never gets to wrestle as a Hawk we still have a solid 184lber with a big upside.
This reminds me of the "Nickal better not go upper body with Brooks" thread, lol.
Nickel better just stay away from upper body with Myles.
Saw Pat hanging with Nathan Burak at the Rider meet. If I had to choose a mentor for Pat, I couldn't think of a better one than Nathan. Pat's in excellent hands with him and the rest of the HWC crew. That's a whole lot of positive influence. I'm getting to the point where I'd be surprised if things didn't work out for Pat and the Hawks in the spring, and I'm thinking he'd be a great asset to the HWC after this season.
Gotta say that this thread is WAY premature. Downey has to prove so much on the mat and off before anything happens. And then there's the mat rust.
Even if all went great for Downey, I'd still favor Moore or Nickal at this point. I'd love to see him prove me wrong.

He's on the right track and doing quite well, and he's a bright kid. I like his odds of handling the course work very much. Plus, he's spending time with some extremely high-quality people, and that has to help. As for mat rust, he's working out with some absolute studs in the HWC. I don't think that will be much of an issue. Granted, there's a difference between drilling and competition, but if he's in the lineup by January, that's plenty of time to get tuned up before March. Certainly not a guarantee, but I like his chances very much.
As for who would be favored in a match with Nickal, I guess you'd have to say Nickal at this point, but Pat is one extremely talented kid, and considering his current training environment, he'd be honing those skills for a couple of months before he ran into Nickal. I think he'd make it very interesting. Exciting, if nothing else.
I don't buy the "mat rust" comment. It's not like he hasn't been/won't be on a wrestling mat til Midlands. There will be no rust. Everyone will know what the Hawks have in Downey at Midlands.
I would agree that there's usually some rust when guys get back into actual competition, as you can never completely simulate a live match against an opponent from another team in practice, but I agree that he should be pretty sharp, considering the guys he's wrestling in practice.
I'd expect him to be more effective in March than in late December, but he should still be pretty salty by Midlands.
Most definitely. One was dressed like a sponsored athlete, the other like a hobo.
You are 100% right on both. I admit I was not completely on board with Pat becoming a Hawkeye at first. Have had a couple of very good conversations with him in the last few weeks and now see why TNT made their decision. Pat is personable, likable, and IMO he is going to be a major plus for the team and do what he needs to for himself.
