Suriano loses to NATO. This is the guy people think will beat Spencer this year?
No…Apparently they are trying to convince him that getting beat by Spencer while wearing a white belt and helping PSU win a team title should be his ultimate collegiate goal.

MyMar, Parris and Gwiz all win.

Moore won a close one over Hidlay

So much for him thinking he's the best in the world, lol.

Fix looked good. Wonder if we see Fix at 61 for non Olympic years from here on.
I hope so. He's too big for 57 imo. He looked terrible at trials and I think holding his weight also hurt him at NCAAs. It's also hard to improve when your weight is always your number 1 focus. He hasn't shown much evolution the past few years.

Glad you made it over here. I always appreciate your takes, especially on the freestyle side.

BTW, in regards to your posts on BWI, I had similar thoughts about if we were seeing Imar in his last competition.

Happy we have some good wrestling discussion on here again. Place has been pretty slow for a while. I guess there's not much to discuss when you have the entire national championship team returning!

In response to Imar being done, I speculated he was done when he accepted the job at Oregon St. Obviously he has still competed since then but he hasn’t been the same. Plus injuries.

They have shakes for that.

There was a year or two that Fix looked damn good offensively. Combine that with his counter stuff that can get to voodoo-like levels, which he’s always been good at. But the offense faded. Can he get it back?

Suriano has difficulty at these tourneys…lost to Vito a few years back and Nato today. Expected more after all of his training and how he looked the past year. But I don’t underestimate him…he’s a stud who will contend for whatever he goes after.

And lost to Gross too. Suriano’s very good and will be competitive in every match he wrestles. Just don’t think he has the offense to consistently beat the elite guys.
 
Fix wins 2-0. Will face Tomasello who rolled with a tf over Colon.
 
Yeah a lot of guys have to cut a ton of weight to make 65. JO, Zain, and Green all back up at 70. Only 6 guys in the 65 bracket.
Expected to see Green there. 65 def too small for him. But even in non-Olympic years, JO and Zain have been 65ers. Of course they are no spring chickens anymore.
 
Yianni with the tf.

Mckenna gives up a late td and turn, but holds on to win 10-9.
 
Green gets the w over JO.

Pantaleo inj defaults to Deakin. Had volume off, but looked like ribs.
