Showed up as the team was starting to stretch. Pretty crazy to see all the guys flipping around and running around on their heads. After stretching Brands was preaching about Iowa Style...everyone has their own style but need to find how they each can best put on pressure. Seemed to push more to n philosophy of pressure and pace as Iowa style and up to each to apply those traits to their unique style.
I did not watch a ton of match-ups mostly focused on Lee/Teasdale, Teasdale/Gilman, DeSanto/Murin.
Lee/Teasdale: Wrested a couple matches the first completely controlled and dominated by lee. Lee had some very nice takedowns and was working his typical turns. Hard to say if Teasdale needs work or if it was just Lee being Lee. 2nd match was a completely different story as Lee appeared to tire a bit. Teasdale got in on a shot and had lee dead to rights..some how lee Houdini out but Teasdale stuck with it....ended up needing to finish about three times before he got the takedown. Lee escaped and Teasdale finished another takedown this one a little quicker and less fight from lee who was fading a little this second match.
Giman/Teasdale: not a great matchup for Teasdale as Gilman is just too solid and seasoned. Hand fighting controlled by gman and he was just too good and methodical.
Desanto/murin: absolutely a treat to watch these two wrestle. They both go hard and could seemingly go forever. For as hard as they were going there was not a ton of scoring in either match. I did not see Desanto give up any offensive points and I think he scored a couple takedowns. With his pace and 141 clearing out I honestly think he could be in hunt at 141...and I think he and gross are going to be wrestling Saturday night if he stays 133.
From what else I saw, Lugo was getting the better of happel, marinelli was ragdolling someone, Wilson and Assad looked pretty even.
Brands was not wrestling but I almost puked watching m* put him through a running workout. Seemed to be running on full incline as m* kept a hand on his back so he wouldn’t fall off the back as he tired. Unbelievable to see someone pushing that hard. No brace on kemdog and he looked to be in great shape.
enjoy that ya filthy animals.
