2020 B1G Tournament Session II Thread

[Nitfan]

Wonder if Meredith can improve next year...

He will be a backup next year.

Unfortunately, not unexpected. But thanks for the official update.

 

[pipe999]

Still a glimmer of hope.

 

[psujeepman1]

Was that a double stall call on Verk and Purington?

 

[Cali_Nittany]

He will be a backup next year.

If you look closely, JT was using the sarcasm font.

 

[Dogwelder]

Ironhead says Penn State has confirmed that Seth will not wrestle again this season.

 

[Nitfan]

Does Verk even have a take down this tourney?

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Verk doing what Verk does ... 0-0 after one period, without a legitimate shot.
Verk now down 2-3 in 3rd period, will need a TD.

 

[Wrestler2u]

Gosh it’s hard watching Verk wrestle. Frustrating.

 

[dmm53]

So frustrating ....

 

[pish69]

So we end up with 6 going to Nationals. At this point, let’s just get as many champs as we can!

 

[psujeepman1]

Verk is a snoozer, that’s for sure.

Best chance now is to take 7 to nationals correct? (Verk, Pipher and Nevills are done)

 

[Cali_Nittany]

10 allocations. Not over yet for Verk

 

[Nitfan]

Gosh it’s hard watching Verk wrestle. Frustrating.

AGREE ! NO OFFENSE AT ALL!!

 

[tbay165]

Gosh it’s hard watching Verk wrestle. Frustrating.

He just isn't very good.

 

[bsnyds39]

Feel like we are watching a lot of these guys for the last time despite their remaining eligibility.

 

[PSUer1989]

Ironhead says Penn State has confirmed that Seth will not wrestle again this season.

What a tough break...is this the same knee he tweaked earlier this season?

 

[KCLion]

Welp, Verk should be in a good position to get an at-large bid.

He can still get automatic. But has to win next match

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Verk loses another close bout with little action. Hate to say it, but pretty normal.

 

[Hotshoe]

Verk is still alive and wrestles later tonight.

 

[PAallDAY]

No one freak out about “criticizing our wrestlers” — both are for sure fine men and working their ass off — but it can be seen as nothing less than a huge failure if Verk or Meredith ever wrestle as starters again.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

He can still get automatic. But has to win next match

Yah, I realized that right after I made the initial post. Yes, 10 allocations so he can still get in there.

 

[1AA]

That Nebraska kids length is tough for Verk. I think he still has matches but shouldn't he have a good chance at a wildcard in no matter what?

 

[BoHunter0210]

Young out?

This time of year sure brings out the fair weathers. Verk’s year isn’t even over and you’re already trying to bury his career. Classy.

 

[Hotshoe]

Ouch, Young goes down 3-1 ro Eric Barrone.

 

[joypa]

Caleb Young is out!

 

[jrd23psu]

Young goes down. The number two seed is 0-2 at B1Gs. I'm with the contingent of people who believe he is cutting too much weight. He is too talented to be wrestling like this.

 

[Hotshoe]

Young out?

He should wrestle later tonight as well.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Did anyone else think that Yayha Thomas was hosed against Sasso? I swear that they were both out of bounds before the ref gave a stall call for Sasso.

 

[NoVaLion2]

Bummer. He had his chances. Just couldn't finish. I don't see the 9th place bracket in Floarena but with 8 allocations, I would think there would be a 9th place that he could wrestle for and hope for the best for the wildcard allocation.

Click the dropdown next to "Main bracket" and it has the 9th place bracket. Meredith has Aguilar from Rutgers.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Ouch, Young goes down 3-1 ro Eric Barrone.

Brutal for a 2 seed.

 

[Hotshoe]

Maybe not since he had a bye. Not sure.

 

[NittanyChris]

Seems like Kaleb Young hates wrestling.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Click the dropdown next to "Main bracket" and it has the 9th place bracket. Meredith has Aguilar from Rutgers.

Yep, its filled in now. They must've waited until the consis were completed.

 

[bigs22]

He should wrestle later tonight as well.

157 only has 6 allocations. So he is done. He will need (and will get) an at-large to qualify.

 

[Cowbell Man]

If he places 10th here, he will qualify. After that, he has to hope for very few if any upsets here or nationally.

In order to win, you do have to get a TD, though, and at this point he seems unable to mount much of any leg attack. On the plus side, he does win matches against guys ranked lower than him....generally.

 

[kingslayer_85]

I thought so , will watch that again.

 

[eddy line]

He should wrestle later tonight as well.

I think the Big10 only has 6 automatic bids at 157. If so, it doesn’t matter what Young does later tonight. He’ll have to get an at-large bid.

Edit: Already covered - bigs22 beat me to it.

 

[jrd23psu]

He will get an at-large for sure but he's going to have a much, much tougher draw now.
