Fish wrestled 165 at Michigan State last year and made it to the round of 16. He has an incredible grip. Hopefully Teague Travis can get a medical redshirt.

Spratley with a 1st period pin over WV, dominant. 0 to 0 in 2nd period Reece tries to hook up a cradle, doesn't get it locked and NCSU reverses him, cradles Reece and Reece gets pinned. Bad match.

Reece put himself in a bad position, got reversed and pinned
I've been impressed with Hughes every match I've seen - just one step ahead of his opponent whatever gets thrown his way. Was hoping he could go against some high level competition this weekend to get that experience. Dude seems like a sponge moreso than a lot of guys.
Reece is who he is. I’m with Harley, the fact he beats Bear is concerning.
Well that was a good knock down of my excitement to start the day. I'm sure Reece is more upset than I am, but that sucks
Love Reece but he’s the definition of “live by the sword die by the sword”
Should be able to bonus his way through the consis maybe haha
Reece has a good amount of talent, but has always wrestled technically unsound, poor positioning, high risk moves...
You are right, Carter wrestles solid and gets a major. A horrible 3rd period where an inferior wrestler rides him for 2 minutes. I have seen his horrible bottom wrestling now for years. Frustrating!

Hamiti won by tech in the 2nd period with lots of takedowns and turns. Wrestling Hamiti does not look like fun.
I love how casual Hamiti makes it look too.
Hendrickson just mauled that guy from Purdue. 1st period pin.
Surber won a solid 8 to 0 major. He got 2 takedowns.
Love the aggression from Spratley so far.
Reaper, yes Troy wins by tech with lots of takedowns and lots of back points especially off a cradle. Also, if you aren't real strong don't get into muscle situation with Caleb Fish. His opponent got into 2 of these situations and it didn't turn out good for his opponent giving up takedowns also backs.
Wow Tagen just dominated Cole Brooks. Won 15-0. Tagen needed OT to beat him in the dual a couple weeks ago.
Tagen wrestled a great match as Reaper indicated. Young scored 11 points in the first period and 2 in the 2nd and 3rd period combined. He looked bad in the 2nd period and really bad in the 3rd. He did look really good in the 1st period. Caleb Fish lost 8 to 7 despite 2 takedowns in the 3rd period. He did not look good in 1st 2 period but did in the 3rd. I thought the ref scored 2 back points quick for the Northwestern wrestler but Fish did not start well and so he lost. I thought he sure looked better as a MSU 165 then he has as a OSU 157.
I thnk he has been battling an illness. I would have thought he would have faded and not ended strong.
He 1000% will if he's interested. Best wishes for speedy and complete recoveries.
Hamiti actually looked human against Michigan who was short, strong and quick. Still Dean won by major but it did not look easy. Dustin was dominant and got a tech. Takedowns seemed easy for Dustin. Surber won a solid decision over Nebraska. Wyatt can score points quickly and won by tech. In the 2nd period late it was 5 to 0 and then a 7 point move and tech is right there. Reece won by major in consolation round. Seems to have hurt a knee somewhere in this tournament because he is limping but never took any injury timeouts and continued to score.

maybe i missed it - but what happened to AJ - thought he was wrestling this one?
Injury but we really know he’s ducking Surber
That guy he majored according to WrestleStat has never been bonused previously.
prison tattoos on the neck and pink button down shirt. 😇
I am really enjoying watching Spratley, Hamiti, and Wyatt wrestle. More than I have for a cowboy in a few years (maybe since Ringer if I am being honest). Good stuff by Young (but he did get tired both matches), Plott, and Surber as well. Bummer for Reece early, but would like to see what he can do on the back side. Fish, too early to tell for me. Amine is frustrating a little bit. Seems like he has the tools but just doesn't apply them enough. Whatever gets us an AA at 165 this year though haha. Plott doing Plott things.
Up on Nebraska by 1.5 points at end of the morning!

I believe you and wrestling stat because he was very good with his defense against Dean. To hold Dean to a major in this match impressed me.

Amine won 3 to 2 and 5 to 2 to get to the quarters. Typical Amine matches.
Spratley beats Ohio States Brendan McCrone 3-0 to advance to the semis. He got a takedown in the 1st period and then rode him out. Almost got another in the 2nd period but it got stalemated.
The 3rd period McCrone rode him the whole time. Would’ve liked to see Spratley score more but McCrone is tough and I thought Troy was pretty aggressive on the feet. He’ll have Matt Ramos from Purdue in the semis. That would be huge if he can beat him.

Tagen wins by 10-2 major decision over Garcia from Harvard.
Carter loses 6-3 to Henson. Carter took Henson down in the 1st and was leading but in the 2nd Henson and escape and then got a takedown but I thought it should’ve been a reverse. Young went neutral in the third but never really got in on a shot.

Seemed like an escape and a super quick takedown with Carter falling asleep. He paid the price by getting ground for the next almost 2 minutes. That 2 seconds cost him the chance to get a giant upset. It was quick enough where it could have been called a reversal but they seemed apart for around a second. But when you are terrible on the bottom against a guy very tough on top you can't give him a takedown or reversal in that situation. Easier said then done
