Penn State vs Iowa

Does anyone know if Davis is hurt. Didn't see anything on our thread, so I'm curious if anyone knows if he's hurt or was a healthy scratch.
He's been banged up but has gone recently. My guess is he's not 100% and had a tough opponent and Cael thought it was best to sit him

Things I learned watching the dual.
1. Ferrari is going to be a monster when the shirt comes off next year. Let the weight clear out and turn him loose. His combination of speed, strength, and flexibility is ridiculous. Looking every bit of a #1 guy.
2. Barr got big brothered by SB the same way Levi did in the finals as a freshman again O'Connor and Ferrari did by C*. 6 year seniors against freshman is boys against men. Doesn't take away from what the freshman will be but the need seasoning against the men.
3. Kennedy might be beat but he never quit. Battled for and escape to avoid giving up a major. Kid has moxy even if he's getting beat.
4. MM should be in Hodge consideration. Unfortunately it will go to Gable or the winner of Parker and Carter at 184. But if dominance is the determining factor what MM did to MC is straight up dominance. Mikey Caliendo is a darn good wrestler no shade his way. He just happened something other worldly.
5. No matter the score. Iowa Penn State is good for college wrestling. Both teams bring it.
6. Glad cameras and social media weren't a thing when I was a kid. I'm cutting Gabe slack for this reason.

Weird, I check Patricia’s account on X and not a peep? Nothing about Jamison’s scratch for Okie St today either.
 
Again, it was never meant as a knock. I even literally said that when I posted it. I was simply pointing out that Starocci's absolute best wrestling abilities are when he simply maintains great positioning while controlling the ties and wearing his opponents down. His defense and counter offense is almost on the level of what Dake was and it makes perfect sense for him to fall into that to not give his best opponents any opportunities to score. Add in how good he is at keeping people down on the mat and it IS a strategy that makes him nearly impossible to beat. He knows he almost certainly will win in OT, either by superior conditioning or rideouts..... But, you can't blame fans of the opposing teams when that style makes it very hard for them to watch when their guy loses.
Great analysis of Starfish, spot on.
 
I need help. Is WFL still going? My only search result is an old X page but I didn’t see donate link. Link from prior email receipts are dead links.

I’m trying his email @wrestlingforlife.com domain, but guessing the domain might be defunct. Will report back.
I hate giving money to PSU or their wrestling club. They send 10 trimes the info HWC or Iowa wrestling does...and it's all good info. We (HWC and Iowa Wrestling) could improve their as well. :)
