I see it as a baseline tell tale. I know the kid is going to be really, really good. I also know there is going to be a really, really huge learning/improvement curve this year. I am interested in how far up the ladder he is starting.

Wow....RBY made that look easy. 11-0. With 5 convincing takedowns.
Yea, he's the real deal. Will have an immediate impact at 133 next year.
9-0 at the break and then quick takedown at the re-start. Think he had 4 takedowns. Edit: 5

AA lock, Pat Lugo, loses to Bannister.
Kaleb Young loses to non-AA Kennedy Monday and Most Improved Wrestler in the NCAAs Cash Wilcke (that’s an actual early February hot take from Tim Johnson) lost 10-0 to Myles Martin.
But the Hawks are a lock to score 120 points at NCAAs next year.
120?? You’re selling them short. Their 10 hammers will pile up 150 easy.Kaleb Young loses to non-AA Kennedy Monday and Most Improved Wrestler in the NCAAs Cash Wilcke (that’s an actual early February hot take from Tim Johnson) lost 10-0 to Myles Martin.

lace, so take it for what it's worth. Vito could have laced him the length of a football field.
I think he gray shirted.
Carson Manville locks a cradle in bout 3 of his finals, gets the fall for the win.
I don't know if it is my screen resolution or what but I switched to the Lugo and Bannister match after RBY's loss. Those two looked like something you would see in a smoked up Honky-Tonk bar during midget wrestling night.

Vito is just plain scary - agree on the podium prediction. As for future PSU recruit targets nothing deterred my view of AJ Ferrari and Carson Manville, both were extremely impressive. Despite the logjam I want them both, badly. I also liked both Kennedy and Starocci. Even though Starocci edged him out I think Kennedy will be the better folkstyle plus he fits our plan better being a year younger.
As Lou Holtz would say, "The Univershity of Cornell Univershity"
Yeah not the best year to wrestle a true freshman. But I guess we could have said the same for Nick Lee.
I still think there is still a good chance Dayton Fix goes 133 as well. Loads of great talent, crazy competitive weight class that should be really fun to watch. My money is on Fix if he makes the move. Despite the difficulty, I believe RBY will AA.
Maybe the kid from NJ will then move up again to 141 in 2019/2020 searching, searching, searching..... but he's happy, so he has that going for him
Vito is definitely a stud. I was really surprised when Josh Saunders beat him at the Open. It was kind of a wired match , but a win is a win. Lots of talk about others but I rarely here Saunders mentioned as an option for Penn State. He's a HS Sophomore, Jr. To be, Missouri State champ X2 , Fargo champ and as of today he's a Cadet World Team member.
It's been a few years but I crossed paths with him alot in the past. I'm a youth club coach, we hit the mainland for 6-8 tournaments a year. Josh was usually at the bigger ones and usually competed in his age group and the HS division as a 6th grader.
Really grounded kid , was super humble. Played with my kids at the hotel pool and was absolutely awesome with them. He seems to fit the PSU mold very very well. If I remember correctly , he was always wearing a Cornell singlet but lots can change over a few years.

Not many top Missouri guys get out of the state. I think that's the biggest issue.
Did anyone see when RBY dinged up his (hamstring?) leg? It looked like it was taped for a hamstring injury in the final.
