It matters if he wants an automatic qualification to World Team Trials.

You're playing chess while I'm playing checkers.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

A bit of an oddity in this tourney. Kerk vs Parris was the 1st H2H between PSU and UM. AB vs Miles will be only the 2nd.

The reason why we didn't secure the title Friday night.

 

[jack66]

Fitting end at 184. Hidley's last move of the tourney was stepping back out of bounds.

 

[nerfstate]

Saw on Twitter, Wood gets a FFT for his 100th win.

Haven’t seen it on Lehigh or PSU’s twitter. Hope not—but If Greg needs to forfeit I guess he needs to.

[McScoreley]

Fire up the he's coming to PSU rumors again (yes I'm kidding) ... specifically mentioned Aaron Brooks as one of his inspirations for his battle back

 

[Pocky]

At what point does tOSU question their strength and conditioning approach? They’ve been taking p4p kings and cranking out pumped up stiff Adonis’s to wrestle for 5th place seemingly forever.

This is not an unreasonable take

Can you post the tweet?

Technical question. Just prior to finishing his pin of Hoffman, Bastida pulled on Hoffman's headgear.

If called, what would be the ruling?

Who are the p4p kings in this year's tOSU lineup?

Kharchla, yes, Sasso was top 10 and Hoffman was up there. Heinselman, Romero, and maybe Smith were good prospects but not considered elite IIRC. Overall Brutus has not terribly underperformed in this tournament.

Now if tOSU doesn't improve in the next couple years with all the talent Tan Tom is bringing in, then you definitely have a point.

Really, really, really great interview with Hidlay. Incredible class.

Honest as hell with what happened yesterday and his future plans.

Cut and tanned. They always look good coming off the bus.

Phenomenal. What a great young man.

 

[dsites52]

It’s official. Kerk MFF

I stand corrected.

Hope Kerk is okay.

 

[5q]

That’s odd

 

[backdrft76]

Cael is protecting his seed for Nationals.

 

[nerfstate]

Yeah, no sign of PSU in the designated corner on Mat 1. Bummer. Heal up DGK!

 

[Creek Side]

Kerk brought it the whole tourney. Congrats to him and I hope whatever it is it isn't too serious.

 

[dsites52]

So when do we officially call this year a bust? You know, with the fact that we couldn’t bring home a B1G title?

 

[okinburg1]

Echoing all others in hoping that Kerk has nothing serious going on health-wise. Fantastic job all tourney long young man!

I believe one penalty point

No idea what might be bothering Kerk, but he sure showed no sign of injury against Parris.

 

[PSUer1989]

I missed Kerk’s match and went back to watch while reading the PBP and it was announced he MFF’d and they raised Wood’s hand? Is there a joke I am missing somewhere!?

I’m going back in time- OSU had the highest average recruiting ranking from 2010-2020, and the highest rank ‘22 class

 

[McScoreley]

I would love it if Mr. Kerkvliet would show up now to let us know Greg will be okay 😔

 

[mcpat]

285 Consolation Final
4 Kerkvliet vs 6 Wood

Wood walking around with his arm in the air; not even wearing his headgear. Acting like he already has it won.

And that’s how it ends. MFF win for Wood.

(That’s for all the folks that like to read PBP. )

 

[nerfstate]

GoPSUSports:

Kerkvliet met No. 7 Mason Parris of Michigan in the consolation semifinals at 285 in a bout that would all but clinch the team title for the Nittany Lions. Despite battling an injury, Kerkvliet dominated Parris from the outset.
...
The victory was to move Kerkvliet into the third-place bout, but the injury forced Kerkvliet to take a medical forfeit (not a loss) and the Nittany Lion sophomore's tournament ended with the critical victory over Michigan's Parris, helping to wrap up the team title. Kerkvliet finished the tournament with a 4-1 record including a pin and a major. He leaves Detroit as the fourth-place finisher at 285 and a two-time All-American. Kerkvliet ends his season with a 22-3 overall record.

Maybe he just wanted to give Wood a spotlight moment, I hope….

Unfortunately, no. MFF.

 

[MonkChowder]

Did it strike anyone as odd last night after Kerk beat Parris that he walked right off the mat and away from the coaches. Totally ignored them. Struck me as I watched it.

This track record goes back more than a decade

Sorry, just had to update my signature.

 

[raslen007]

It would be cool if they created a montage of the best and not so good moments from the tournament. There has been many this weekend.

 

[dmm53]

No one has scored a point on O'Toole in 4 matches.

I believe C-Starr has only given up escapes; right?
