No worries meluv.

Good, pertinent discussion.

I agree with Cowguy meluv. Your posts are authentic and you add to the board discussion.

We all hear discussions about what goes on in the room and for the most part these are valid to post on the board and I would not try to censor what is said on the board. I too, heard about the Harding/Lewallen outcomes in the room. A lot of times (not always) these are fodder for discussion. Lewallen was coming off a very disappointing first round loss and this could have and probably did affect the way he wrestled from that point on. Harding on the other hand wrestled Keshawn the # 1 ranked wrestler at the weight and lost 6-8 in a very good match. He could have been disappointed but gained confidence in this loss. They will continue to battle in the room and the fight is not over. In the case of Kaid Brock against the other 125 pounders in our room we can speculate but is this fair since Kaid has another year of highschool and we need to worry about who starts this year. If we were to comment on this and a lot of these wrestlers read the board it could be detrimental to their progress this year. Meluv did not mention another 125 pounder in Austin Miller and my prediction early on is that he would be the starter. I made this off of his body of work and being the most experienced. I do not know how Miller is faring against the other 125 pounders in the room so it is speculation on my part and is fair game.

oberebo,

The Harding and Hayes match was interesting to say the least. The beginning of the match was one sided but Harding made it an entertaining match. Their first match was totally one sided by Hayes. At the beginning of their 2nd match, I thought it was going to be the same but that wasn't the case.

I think asking about Kaid isn't unfair. We all know that some HS wrestlers can compete against college rosters. It may not be a fair question to ask if only inquiring about Kaid against the 125# AA but against the rest of the roster seems fair to me. Wrestling is a tough sport physically and mentally. Your comment about if wrestlers read this forum, it might be detrimental to their progress seems like a reach. The reason I say that is lets say that any HS wrestler is competing well against the other 125# in the room, wouldn't that be a mental hurdle for them then reading a comment? I will give you that reading it would probably sting too but getting beat by a HS wrestler is probably worse mentally. Not mentioning Miller was a slip on my part.

That's the good thing about this forum, most of the comments aren't out to discredit anyone, just conversations, speculation and opinions about a sport that we all enjoy.

I agree with most of what you said above but here is where I think it is unfair, n ot to Kaid but to the current wrestlers on the team. Kaid will not be on the team this year as he will have a senior year in high school.
For the sake of argument let's just say Kaid is kicking butt in the OSU wrestling room right now. Telling everyone about that is not conducive to the wrestlers that are there, one of which will be the starter this year. I do not think this is happening by the way but I do believe Kaid can hold his own with all of them. I think Austin Miller based on his experience and record will be the starter this year but it is not from anything I have gleaned from the room. I think he is better than some if not most people believe and I think he has gained in ability and strength since his transfer from Bucknell.
