Not that it plays into the seed but did I hear right that Augustine was a NQ for Pitt last year? Makes the win even better, if so.Augustine (how was he the 15 seed?):
USA U20 Freestyle National Champion (2022)
U20 Pan-American Freestyle Champion (2022)
USA Wrestling Athlete of the Week (7/12/22)
Yep. Went 0-2. I think he was ranked around 20ish for a lot of the year. Had a win over Gaitan of ISU and really close losses to Edmond Ruth and Plott.Not that it plays into the seed but did I hear right that Augustine was a NQ for Pitt last year? Makes the win even better, if so.
I think he could be pretty tough at 125 but not sure if it's a possibility. Will need to add some size at 133. Bouzakis is projected as a high end college 133 so we will get an idea how he compares tomorrow.is peterson likely to be a 125 or 133? he’s looking real good.
I’d guess 133 but I think Bouzakis is at another level right now.I think he could be pretty tough at 125 but not sure if it's a possibility. Will need to add some size at 133. Bouzakis is projected as a high end college 133 so we will get an idea how he compares tomorrow.
I will be pleased if Petersen can go a whole match.I’d guess 133 but I think Bouzakis is at another level right now.

Riggins is on a run since getting upset
Angelo is my wishlist 184 lber. Hopefully in a few weeks I can add him to the other column. His replacement will be a little further back class-wise. Jude Correa would be a good wishlist 197 lber. The first step is us, on this forum right now, speaking it into existence.You need to wish list a 184 and 197 pounder. 😉
Damn, that is a GRAND amplitude.

The US Open is on Flo, and I didn’t see it on Flo, hence the question. Smartass.I’m going to take a wild ass guess and say at the US Open.

Credit to Riggins for bouncing back. That was a bad loss yesterday.Riggins won his first match by DQ. So i'm not sure if the guy missed weight or MFF or what, saw that in a few other brackets, one of the Raney brothers lost by DQ. Then Riggins won his second match 12-2. Has his consi semi match coming up against Fea.
Rhodes just lost his consi semi 11-0, got totally dominated by Ysaguirre and wasn't close to a score unfortunately.
Isaiah Cortez won his two consi's 12-0 and 10-0. He will face his brother Elijah in the consi-semis. A match/Rematch with Bassett looming for the 3rd place bout.
Where is hunter garvin going to school at - thought he was a hawk recruit. I Must be mixed up.U20's starts today at noon. Winners get a pass to the best of 3 finals at WTT in June. Here's the list of Hawkeyes/recruits competing:

Riggins is the classic slow footed grinder. He is going to have to pick up the pace and urgency in his matches and get some other offensive options besides diving under and holding the elbow when he doesn't get to the leg. Moving forward I hope he is the last grinder type we target as a main recruit.Three takedowns for Riggins in the 2nd period, but he comes up short 8-9. Will wrestle for 5th.
Guy has guts though - won 8 matches on the backside. That’s a long day.Riggins is the classic slow footed grinder. He is going to have to pick up the pace and urgency in his matches and get some other offensive options besides diving under and holding the elbow when he doesn't get to the leg. Moving forward I hope he is the last grinder type we target as a main recruit.
I'd say between Kennedy/Brands/Arnold/Assad/Anthony Ferrari + hopefully Angelo in the wings, we should be more than covered at 165-184 with high end talent. Riggins is a great guy to have in the room, high quality backup with upside. Great to have a guy like him around in case of injury or nights off during the season.Riggins is the classic slow footed grinder.

Idk, adding him might make my wish list seem unrealistic.Might as well wish for Jax Forrest too.
Im unable to watch today and trying to follow along. Did Gabe arnold just win u20’s? If so, how the hell is a ho hum tweet showing one scoring maneuver all the hoop-la this site can manage. I’m honestly disappointed. How did Peterson do against Bouzakis?
