Assume NR @ 157 going into Bigs

[GogglesPaizano]

Let's see who's crystal ball is the clearest.

I think we have some pretty interesting choices all relatively even. Assuming we head into Bigs with no seed it comes down to who do we think could grab some lightning in a bottle and likely lose the first match only to win 3 (correct?) on the backside to grab one of the allocation spots?

The knee jerk reaction points back to Joe Lee, but he remains an enigma. Gardner (assuming he shakes the rust off) is a tough kid but close to a mirror with Barraclough in terms of ranking and body of work. Negron oozes the 'maybe' factor but hasn't yet delivered. And for the record here, noone is coming down from 165 to save the day.

I am willing to roll the dice that his in season ceiling remains the highest. Big Tony, my man!

 

[McScoreley]

Sounds like Gardner gets a shot on Friday. TB and Tony have "good losses" now but nobody has notched a good win yet, which I guess we can't expect with who we have there. Think Cael is waiting for someone to notch a good win and if not, might end up just being a 4 man wrestle off bracket for Big Tens.

Will Verk enter both the ACC and Big Ten tourneys?

 

[Dogwelder]

I still say Aaron Pico

(In WWE announcer voice)

Man 1: “It can’t be.”

Man 2: “He’s been gone. He was done. I don’t believe it.”

Man 1: “But he had no more eligibility…”

Man 2: “It’s…him. It can’t be, but it is! It’s Zain Retherford!”

(Crowd goes crazy)

 

[johnstownsteel]

I was hoping Matt Lee could make the cut to get down there second half of season. I think he can beat all of them including Joe. And it hurts me to say that..

If whoever goes Friday and bears going they are in I'm going with the claw I think he can catch lightning in a bottle

Levi Haines

Crazy question time:

Is he in the student directory?

 

[NittanyChris]

First off, we are so deep that, barring injuries, we don’t need a qualifier at 157.

Secondly, Cael’s comments today made me think he’s not currently satisfied with any of his options. Is it possible we see yet one more surprise?

Luke Gardner now listed on PSU roster on Track at 157.

Cenzo wrestling at 157 is less likely than me putting on a Hawkeye singlet and flying to Iowa on friday.....without a plane

I have no idea how you can say that. With the competition heating up, you will need all 10 to score!

 

[SWPA]

Cenzo

Can you cut from 220 to 157 in two days, in a healthy way?

 

[jack66]

Gardner has always shown a good gas tank. That can be a bonus when you're trying to qualify through the consolation bracket.

I doubt he would have returned from the portal if he didn't think he had a good chance of earning the spot.

10 SCORING WRESTLERS!!

It is hard to win the BIG tournament with a team that has a couple non scoring guys, but NCAA is much more about 5-6 hammers.

…the only legitimate choice is to file an exception with the NCAA for Casey Cunningham getting one more year of eligibility…
…he was a pretty fair 157# wrestler in his day and had a great tournament wrestling in Bryce Jordan…! 😉

8 is perfect; 7 is too many

My one daughter had a boyfriend named Thor. I was really disappointed when he walked through the door

Wonder if Negron related to Charles Negron, vocalist for Three Dog Night.
