Barr and Facundo. Same wrestler. Great base defense, no angles on attacks.
 
This might feel like a slight on Facundo but it's more of a compliment to Barr. Same technical weaknesses but Barr has much more of the dog in him, like Carter (without the talk)

His "do or die" mentality let's him win the close matches and beat guys like McEnelly who has more offense.

Cole moves really well for a man that size. He also seems to have a high wrestling IQ.
 
So, while our recruits are out here making the finals of the biggest tournament we have, Iowa recruits are busy pushing each other off the mat and hand fighting with each other. And the beat goes on.

Slippery.........Kudos also to your high school typing teacher also! :)
 
PJ Duke stomping a top-10 149.
Webster just went 16-1 as a shirting freshman for Illinois. The loss was 4-2 to Ty Watters, who finished 4th behind Kasak. Wasn't a great schedule since it was all Opens, but he did beat D'Emilio, Rathjen, and Munson.

In 2023 when Kollin Rath beat nearly everybody in the country, Webster beat him.

Impressive win by Duke.

EDIT: Webster won Fargo JR at 145 last year.
