Braeden Davis is wrestling with a hook for a hand because of a grevious injury in the 1st round1200 messages? Can someone give the cliffs notes of the highlights?
Change the rule and make it stalling. It would stop instantly. The guy on knees can not score unless other wrestler initiates.Really hate the wrestling from the knees BS.

And people are nervous…Penn State is kicking ass.
Anthony Robles hates this thought. 😎Change the rule and make it stalling. It would stop instantly. The guy on knees can not score unless other wrestler initiates.
I actually think if someone had the guts, they should come in like double leg but catch the guy around his chest. Brown would have stopped it by planting the guy.
Didn't Ramos squeak bye uninpressivelyI wouldn’t read into Crookham’s match that much. Leete is visually impaired and his matches are all wrestled under constant contact rules. That is a tough thing to deal with especially in your first NCAA match. When Crookham is allowed to wrestle from space tonight I bet he looks better
And we had to wait until Cael came along to capitalize on the gold mine in PA.Somebody earlier asked about a state-by-state breakdown.
I'm too lazy to find that post, and far too lazy to do every state ... but by my count PA = 45:
125 = 1:
25 Berginc – Hempfield
133 = 4:
2 Crookham – Saucon Valley
13 Phipps – Norwin
14 Van Dee – Erie Prep
27 Strickland – Benton
141 = 3:
2 Bartlett – Wyoming Seminary
16 Chappell – Seneca Valley
18 Matthews – Reynolds
149 = 7:
3 Arrington – Forest Hills
5 Watters – West Allegheny
7 Kasak – Bethlehem Catholic
22 Willochell – Latrobe
30 Swisher – Bellefonte
31 Solomon – Franklin Regional
32 Boyd – Erie McDowell
157 = 2:
1 Haines – Biglerville
4 Scott – Dubois
165 = 1:
11 Cerniglia – Notre Dame Green Pond
174 = 5:
3 Ruth – Susquehanna Township
6 Welsh – Waynesburg
9 Starocci – Erie Prep
13 McCoy – Chestnut Ridge
23 Augustine – Waynesburg
184 = 2:
5 Pinto – Stroudsburg
30 Duvall – Penns Valley
197 = 8:
2 Hidlay – Mifflin County
4 Beard – Malvern Prep
15 Shaw – Thomas Jefferson
16 Luke Stout – Mt. Lebanon
21 Mac Stout – Mt. Lebanon
24 Urbas – State College
28 Wehmeyer – Malvern Prep
32 Crawford – Strath Haven
285 = 5:
5 Taylor – Brookville
9 Feldman – Malvern Prep
19 Crosby – Erie Prep
21 Pitzer – Mt. Pleasant
26 Catka – Sun Valley
Also a few others who graduated from PA schools but I didn't count above:
125 – Ungar – Notre Dame Green Pond, but from NJ (rumored to have stayed in NJ)
133 – Bouzakis – Wyoming Seminary; from FL, family has since moved to PA
141 – Henson – graduated from Waynesburg, but really from MO
149 – Griffin – Hill School, but really from MA
I did count Bartlett even though he's originally from AZ, because he had long established himself as a PA resident.
The Malvern Prep guys are all from PA. Beard is from the Pottstown area. Wehmeyer is from outside Bethlehem (northern Bucks). Feldman would've attended Solanco.
Tourney wrestling for a guy at 260+ is a different ordeal than it is for a guy at 1/2 that weight. This is Kirk’s 4th Nationals. Probably he knows how to manage his energy. Winning > Entertainment. Of course, we could devolve back to “dancing bears” and then every HWT match could be boring.It is frustrating the way Kerk wrestles. He could have teched this guy with takedowns with ease. I just will never understand the philosophy of riding a guy 4 plus minutes when there is a 3 point takedown and Kerk could have broke him on his feet and got a techfall. Yeah i know it is complaining and in the long run it will not matter. But as a fan its also boring to watch a guy just lay on the other guy when both guys are not really doing anything.
I used ESPN+ yesterday. Never thought about delaying a match when 2 guys were same time. I would stream the radio and delay the Roku about 12 seconds and the Ironhead audio would be sync to TV video.I watched every single PSU match from start to finish without a single glitch on ESPN+. When there are two PSU guys at the same time....I just pause one of them until the first one is done. Easy. Just 10.00.....although I sold a kidney so I can upgrade to the Disney package for 3.00 more

I got caught off guard with this one too. I was able to rewind the stream for his match.I used ESPN+ yesterday. Never thought about delaying a match when 2 guys were same time. I would stream the radio and delay the Roku about 12 seconds and the Ironhead audio would be sync to TV video.
My only glitch was caused by Ironhead. I was listening for him to know if a second match was starting. He was doing the MM or Truax match and he says Starocci is wrestling and its 2nd period. It was actually 3rd period. WTF!! That's all I saw. Maybe I could of rewind that mat. Never thought about doing that .
That was my delay time as well. I didn't bother trying to sync them since I was bouncing around so much between mat feeds.I got caught off guard with this one too. I was able to rewind the stream for his match.
I have to work on the sync with the video and Ironhead's audio that was a little frustrating yesterday. On my feed he was ahead of the video action around 10 seconds.
Thanks.Negron's.
Didn't Ramos squeak bye uninpressively
And we had to wait until Cael came along to capitalize on the gold mine in PA.
Great stuff, Jefe and thank you for that link, Bosox. PA dominating once again… Looks like Flo is using the “hometowns” metric so Bartlett to Tempe and Bouzakis to Tampa. Only discrepancies/additions are Griffin to Berwick, ME, Henson to Waynesburg, Ungar and Evan Maag (165) to Bethlehem (NDGP), Garrett Thompson (165) to Murraysville (Franklin Regional), Chlebove (133) to Northampton, and Maximus Hale (184) to West Chester (Downingtown West) for a total of 43 NQs for PA.For what it’s worth I came across this breakdown a few days back. Not sure what metric was used to do the categorization but it also lists last year’s totals as well.

I live about an hour north of Boone and get down to see Appy two or three times each winter. Great little town, very sports oriented and good bars. SoCon wrestling can be surprisingly good at times.App St. has a nice little program with scrappy kids.
yes, Illinois added Austin O'Connor to the staff this year, so maybe that's why Ed is gone, or vice versa.Ed Ruth is no longer on the Illinois staff.
The complaint is about guys like Mason Beckman who drop to a knee from 25 ft away.You can shoot from a knee especially if the other wrestler doesn't watch their separation and doesn't lower their level. Nothing wrong with going to a knee to change levels and try to create an angle. But spending a prolonged period on a knee and doing it repeatedly such that you're spending the majority of Neutral wrestling time on a knee should be warned and called as stalling (i.e., Ref is permitted to tell wrestler that he has to be more active and if he goes to his knee again, he'll call stalling).
He has some level of blindnessQuestion: was watching a match at the arena yesterday and on one particular match the ref required the wrestlers to be touching hands during every restart from the neutral standing position. Wasn’t sure if the all knowing board could explain this. I thought that it might be due to one of the wrestlers having a hearing issue, but it was a WAG on my part.
Dammit, I missed a bunch. That should teach me to try it after midnight.Great stuff, Jefe and thank you for that link, Bosox.

Other way around. Ed leaving opened up the position for O'Connor.yes, Illinois added Austin O'Connor to the staff this year, so maybe that's why Ed is gone.
Speaking of Dan Monthley, I heard JB on Lionvision saying many times during yesterday's action that Dr. ? was in the Penn State corner. I never heard him mention Dan. So what's the deal...is Dan there or not and who is this other doctor?I'm in the same boat. Need some kind of miracle from Mr. Monthley.
Yes and no. Cael definitely kick-started the dynasty with PA wrestlers.Didn't Ramos squeak bye uninpressively

he was there all day.Speaking of Dan Monthley, I heard JB on Lionvision saying many times during yesterday's action that Dr. ? was in the Penn State corner. I never heard him mention Dan. So what's the deal...is Dan there or not and who is this other doctor?
I seriously doubt the brace is the problem.Maybe he's wearing a heavier brace as a precaution and his corner knew he could beat those opponents with a restricted range of motion. Maybe he'll go to a lighter neoprene brace now that he's wrestling #1.
I was a bit shook when Rutgers Brian Soldano got injured (mat 8 during first round). His reaction reminded me of Adam Taliaferro (when the arm came up). Turns out, Soldano was treated at the hospital and released yesterday. It was a concussion and spinal contusion, FYI. Prayers that all wrestlers finish this tournament healthy.Honestly up by 10, 10 alive is fantastic day 1. Trip up by Kasak and Nagao but they're refocused.
The day really only is dampened by the reality Carter isn't near his best self and you hate it for him at this point of his career more than anything else.
Definitely whatever he has trained with and used to compete in Day 1, he should change that for Day 2 with no additional training or opportunity to adjust.Maybe he's wearing a heavier brace as a precaution and his corner knew he could beat those opponents with a restricted range of motion. Maybe he'll go to a lighter neoprene brace now that he's wrestling #1.
Thanks for the update. I was wondering if anything had been released. He was down a long time and not moving his legs. Scary stuff!I was a bit shook when Rutgers Brian Soldano got injured (mat 8 during first round). His reaction reminded me of Adam Taliaferro (when the arm came up). Turns out, Soldano was treated at the hospital and released yesterday. It was a concussion and spinal contusion, FYI. Prayers that all wrestlers finish this tournament healthy.
It look as tho Carter was in control and not in danger of losing those 2 matches. Did what.he needed. If Lewis goes balls to the wall tomorrow it could be trouble but that is not the Lewis I have seen this year. Riding is going to be huge and stall calls could come into play late 3rd period. Carter couldn't have better people I'm his camp for this weekend.
Wondering if the memory of the All Star match in December preys on Mekhi's mind...in a negative or a positive way. Will it cause Mekhi to wrestle more aggressive or "the same?"Part of it was likely mat rust due to limited work over the last four weeks while allowing the injury to heal. And I have to think, no matter what he may say or not say publicly, the fact that he was injured has to prey on his mind to one extent or another. He certainly doesn't want a repetition of what happened a month ago and, if he's truly fully confident in a fully healthy knee, what useful purpose might all the extra leg protection serve?
Hamiti is going to make the finals for the rematch with mmNot much talk about Carr v Hamiti. Carr has very little offense and elite defense - this could be one of those 1-1 SV matches.
