Dustin came back with the match 10 to 10 Karchla had to default with an ankle injury after a Plott take down Plott wins the tournament and hopefully will be the World team member.
HS Recruiting News

- Start date
That would be great because last year I remember the Penn. St. multi- National Champ took Plott's spot.
Only the top 3 senior men can take a U23 spot if young enough. That would be Burroughs, Marstellar, and Ringer. All over 23.
This time Cardenas got in too deep on several double legs and scored 6 and at least 1, 4 point shot. Luke scored most of his points on a takedown and 5 leg laces. Cardenas was too good on his feet for Surber.
Not saying it wasn’t the right call, but he was a judgement call away from a 16-6 win….
Gotta be the one pushing the offense I think. Seemed to startle Cardenas the first round.
Luke got laced. 10-0. Sad for him because he wrestled so freaking well this weekend.
No disrespect to Cardenas, but I’m really hoping Trumble (NCSt) takes the u23 spot. Was runner up at 97 at US Open so technically 3rd men’s senior.
I was out of the country until last night. I saw almost everyone either on replay or live. I’m happy with what I saw. Yes some guys got gassed out but it happens. Overall such a solid group and good showing for the program and the RTC imo.

Surber gives up his legs, gets taken down, leg laced , match over. The strategy that won the 1st match was poison for the 2nd and 3rd matches, his opponent came strong and under control and Surber had no chance to expose. No sprawl at all for Surber on is opponents' shots. Well 2nd isn't bad, but at least Plott won.
I thought overall the results from FS nationals were encouraging with our guys that competed. We had 2 guys make the team and had I think 6 guys make the finals total in both divisions. In a perfect world I would of liked to have seen Spratley win one of those in the finals and Hughes keep the score closer and more competitive in the finals, but I can live with those results. The only disappointing performance that stands out to me was Jordan Williams. I've mentioned it before on here and I feel like his lack of focus is holding him back. It seemed to affect him in that second match. I thought he would of held up physically really well at 65kg but it looked to me like he got muscled around in some 50/50 positions. He has the talent and athletic ability but just hasn't seemed to adapt to the level of competition at the D1 level quite yet. Hope he turns a corner this Fall.
Mower is an interesting prospect, his length seemed to cause some problems. He had a lot of pins during his redshirt year, so he might be good on top as well. Interesting that he competed in U23s rather than U20s (same as Sheets).
I know it's not exactly surprising, but Little V showed up to the Southern Plains Regional wrestling for someone other than CWC (some club from Ohio), but what was somewhat noteworthy was his match with Routledge (Edmond North). Routledge only won by 2 (8-6), but Kael couldn't get any offense of his own going it all. 2 of his points were on a 4-2 exchange from a chest wrap on a Routledge double and the other 4 were from a broomstick off of Routledge being in on a single and getting a little sloppy. Routledge controlled the ties and dominated the action. Good win for an Oklahoma kid.
Next match, finals, Routledge did almost **** the bed though... the other kid got in on a shot and got a pretty tight gut going for 3 turns before Routledge finally woke up and par tarred out, then went on to get the tech on takedowns for an 18-8 win.
I'm pretty sure Routledge is rising Junior so his recruitment opens up soon. I'm not sure what his ceiling is going to be, but I do think he's going to be a very high floor, consistent type of wrestler, definitely upper tier D1 quality. I hope we're able to snag him, don't want to see more D1 talent leave the state.

Edmond North has built a very good program. They are fun to watch.
They certainly have and they are a blast to watch. They have several kids in addition to Routledge I would like to see end up on our roster, even if they aren't all necessarily starters, they are all proven competitiors and would be great additions to the room in my opinion.
What upper tier Division I wrestlers are you talking about that has left the state
Totally random but I was driving around Stillwater the other day and noticed a sign in a yard advertising roofing.I believe it said New View Roofing and had Vic Voinovich’s name on it 🤷♂️
Trevor would be welcomed back with open arms if he wanted to come back.
By the way heard 2nd hand Guerrero hired for rtc coach , thought something was up not sure what , glad having him back, mending fences with cowboy legend sounds pretty good
Trevor's is an odd case. If he was just done with wrestling or worried about injury or Stillwater wasn't a good fit we'd have heard something by now or he would have left town. He could've easily transferred to many other schools and started. The fact that he's still in Stilly, didn't attend a single wrestling event after his "injury" and nobody's uttered a peep about it leads me to think it's something more along the lines of a dismissal from the team which would imply that he would not be welcome back. But him not transferring to wrestle elsewhere makes it seem like he's fine with that and fine with being done with wrestling. All speculation of course.
Also yes. Dude is a legend and was a blast to watch. The more Cowboy legends we can get back in town, the better
Thanks missed the tweet, just saw you have a new podcast I’ll check it out, might learn something
Walk on would be the only way back, but will never happen because he would have to sit behind Daton
just keep moving that goalpost. The path doesn't change the fact he would be welcome.
So he could come back and sit behind Daton. But no chance that he is welcome back? Which one is it?
Listened to the new dynasty defined podcast, liked that Dean Heil, Dakota Geer, gas tank Gary (Ohio state, Oregon state heavyweight ) are in the room. Blair’s is right look forward with the team we have now. Would like to be in the room to see the battle between Sammy, Jamison, and Willams.
This is EXACTLY the kind of swag our program needs. "You forgot we're the bad boys, well the bad boys are coming back. We're the ones with 34 National Titles". I love it!!!!!
It’s the right kind of swag too…all on the mat, no drama off…
