I may have posted this story before, but my dad and I were eating dinner at Iowa River Power the night after the 2020 PSU dual. There was a family sitting next to us that had wrestling shirts on, and we had a quick conversation as we were leaving.

They said they were from PA in town for the dual and wrestled for Jody’s club. As you said, big Spencer fans but they mostly spoke about Max. They told us that they had been in the Iowa room that day working out with Max, and you could tell both kids thought a lot of him.

Didn’t realize it was the Bassett clan until a couple of years later. Seemed like a really nice family from the brief interaction. Would love to have them in Iowa City.
Ive seen posts of him training with Murin also, good stuff
 
Slick throw by/shrug by for a TD. DeLuca leading 2-0z Working that bar half ride on top. He has it deep but Jordan not going over. DeLuca engages cling mode and rides out to finish 2-0.

Jordan starts neutral period 2. In on a high crotch. DeLuca defending beautifully. Scrambled really well through the position. Ends up up out of bounds. Jordan gets a TD after another scramble and rides out to end the 2nd.

Leo starts down to start 3rd. He gets away and there’s the lead 3-2. Lots of good action and exchanges. Under :20 to go and Leo gets warned for stalling, he’s evading. There’s a solid headlock attempt by Jordan at the buzzer but time is just out. DeLuca wins 3/2 and he is your Ironman champion!!

Our guy M* caught the red eye to be there today…. One of the first to hug it out with Leo.
 
They called Forrest for fleeing the mat early in the 2nd...Lilledahl, in an almost same situation, didn't get called at the end. Wins 2-1.
Lilledahl also had a TD waved off in that match. What's the verdict on that one?
(Note - I am not watching, just getting updates).
 
Here we go period 1 Angelo vs Sealey. Handfighting, working underhooks for Angelo, so powerful and controlling with them.
Ferrari in on a sweep single but Sealey pulls his leg back and breaks the grip.
Sealey doing a good job controlling center and applying pressure but Angelo controlling the ties. Period ends 0-0.

Sealey going down to start 2nd. Sealey up to his feet fighting hands and Angelo can’t return so let’s him go :15 seconds in. Good handfighting but not a lot of committed attacks. Period will end 1-0 Sealey.

Angelo going down in 3rd . He’s out in :15 as well. Ferrari with another committed shot but high lock and gets grip broken again. They go out of bounds in a flurry and stall warning on Ferrari Lol. Long blood timeout for Ferrari, head wrapped now.

Going to overtime 1-1.

Ferrari in on a deep shot and has Sealey in danger. Sealey able to leg pass at the last second and hold on for a stalemate. So close to finishing.

We are going to Rideouts.

Ferrari going underneath to start. He’s out and away right away, some great action! Almost had an underhook throw by!

Sealey down and out right away. 2-2. Sealey will have choice in UtB. Ferrari in on another shot and almost scores but can’t quite.

Ferrari riding tough with tight waist and claw. Ferrari clinging hard! Ferrari hangs on no reversal and he gets the win! It was dicey but he gets it done! Ice in his veins!

Tough win!! How did Sealey never get hit for stalling?
PSU commit, so obviously he doesn't stall.

So the PSU commit who some are wondering if will ever see the mat there just pushed one of our greateast recruits in years into UTB. Must be nice to have stud after stud on your roster.
 
so psu’s star recruit just pushed and pushed without taking any shots to try and get ferrari to the edge of the mat for stall calls. they hate that type of wrestling i thought?

Not if it wins them individual titles.

Ferrari spent a lot of time at the edge of the mat but he had a few very legit shots. At one point, the Flo guy said "Sealey finally touched Ferrari's leg" and all I could think about was this:

Willie picked Ferrari to finish 4th. I think The Brain’s picks are directly correlated to how much a wrestle’s parents suck up to him.

Yea, that's a head scratcher. Whoever Foster was got it exactly right...

"Josh's Picks: 1. Sealey 2. Ferrari 3. Lockett 4. Henckel

Fosters Picks: 1. Ferrari 2. Sealy 3. Lockett 4. Birden

Willie's Picks: 1. Sealey 2. Henckel 3. Lockett 4. Ferrari "
 
it would be funny to tell some psu fans who don’t watch high school that ferrari was committed to psu and sealey iowa then ask for their thoughts.

Yeah, Ferrari was clearly backing up most of the match, but Sealey used the edge every time Ferrari took a shot.

Did he really? I could understand picking him to be second (Sealey is legit) but picking him 4th borders on the dumbest prediction I've seen in a really long time regardless of sport or level. And I'm not even an Iowa fan....

It's either that or he's not even pretending to hide his PSU bias any longer.
