wrestle-offs - Friday

Though I'm not cheering against Turk by any means, as I have said all summer long, the spot is generally Murin's unless he were to get injured or have other issues. That said, Turk's wrestling skills get a bad rap on here, IMHO.
I agree, though Turk can be frustrating. Seems like he struggles to pull the trigger sometimes and it costs him.

Do you care to point out some signature wins to back that last statement?

Solid win for Wilke. He looked gassed at the end, he had the match in the bag so this may have played into.
 
Unless dad told someone to keep it close, that's a great performance by the young guy.

Does anyone believe of all people terry brands said “take it easy on my kid”?

And if so would anyone here still want him coaching in Iowa?

In all seriousness, if It’s true Nelson didn’t get coached by Terry and Tom while growing up, then he will be an absolute force his final two years.

I think he will be a force his last 3 years at Iowa....just not sure which weight class it will occur at. Give him a full year in the wrestling room and there is a very good chance he could take over the 157 spot next year....if he is able to get back down to 157.

Nelson didn't start wrestling til 6th grade I believe. Hasn't had the 1000's of matches most kids at this level have. He will keep improving greatly the next couple years.

Closer score than I thought it would be.

I’m sure both guys have really been busting their *sses and believe they should be the guy. Neither guy could break the others will. Glossers a tough SOB good for him and Young. Same goes for Murin and Turk. We fans would love for our starters to blow the doors off their in room competition, but the competition had other ideas. Sounds like a lot of Hawks came to scrap, can’t ask for more than that.
 
Like the depth of this team. Problem for Hawks lately is a hole or two in line-up and one or two kids under perform, combined with PSU or tOSU having a kid or two perform way beyond their means at nationals.
