Any chance Keckeisen goes up to 197 next year? He looked massive compared to Plott. Dustin can usually scramble against everyone else, but Keck is too strong.
You think? Daton has had success against Spencer when they’ve met.Maybe this year but multiple titles? Spencer would have beaten him handily
AgreedReally think the refs are having way too much impact on these finals. Definitely changes the 174 final as well as a few others.
Man among boys. Not sure on wrestler of tourney. He or Brooks?Nobody is beating that guy at 184
They aren’t going away as long as Sanderson is there. Might as well give them the next 4-5 titles now
As painful as it is to say, I’d wager that had Fix and Spencer switched colleges, Fix has at least two NCsYou think? Daton has had success against Spencer when they’ve met.
Losing 2 out of 3 AAs (scorers) development is important. question marks at 33 Hugh’s to big, 149 great potential but not yet, 157 Travis or Young? Good competition. 165? 174? 184 were good. 197 hope CC heavyweight? Don’t see much better results if as good.That’s a wrap for this year. Definitely, An improvement over last year but if we don’t hit he transfer portal we will have a hard time moving up. Not sure who is going to catch Penn State in the near future as long as they have the money to cherry pick from both high school and colleges. the current situation is not good for the sport but I don’t think you’ll get Sanderson or their fans to agree with that one.
I don’t think he thought it was here to stay.Combination of Sanderson and money elevated them, we need a multimillionaire that loves wrestling to help us out and unfortunately that’s not me. It didn’t help that John was late to the payoff game based on his experience taking over after Seay, that is understandable but absolutely put us behind.
Daton and Dustin have been real good but our coaching staff with training and strategy seem to be lacking. After 4 titles in a row we have not won 1 since. We had it going and Coach Smith screwed it up with stubbornness, ego and his unwillingness to work hard in areas where he didn't want to work hard. The result we have been experiencing year after year. Double painful is almost this whole time period we have had to watch Penn. St dominate year after year. Coach Smith was innovative as a wrestler but not as a coach. Sanderson was innovative as a wrestler but even more innovative and hard working as a coach. A painful night.They aren’t going away as long as Sanderson is there. Might as well give them the next 4-5 titles now

Not if you don’t shoot and can’t get a TDSpencer would not have beaten him last year and Daton could have won this year as well.
Lee was wrestling on 2 bad knees last year. Ramos beat Lee in the semis at nationals then Lee forfeited out of the tournament then Ramos lost to Glory in the finals. I believe Daton would have won last year and this year at 125. Daton wrestles 125 in freestyle - he's really too small for 133, he's just good enough that he can wrestle up at 133 in college and still make the finals.Not if you don’t shoot and can’t get a TD
Daton's a good cowboy and a good man. I feel bad for him, life can be cruel sometimes, but hopefully he can bounce back and reach some other goals.
Plus, all of this occurred around the time when everything was going down with Penn State Football. They were in desperate need of something positive.Combination of Sanderson and money elevated them, we need a multimillionaire that loves wrestling to help us out and unfortunately that’s not me.

This is correctSpencer would not have beaten him last year and Daton could have won this year as well.
Yes and plenty of wrestlers have done well in the Olympics without winning a NCAA titleDaton's a good cowboy and a good man. I feel bad for him, life can be cruel sometimes, but hopefully he can bounce back and reach some other goals.
