Who is that dude? And is there a list of guys that made the trip?
Thanks for the response.Journeyman Wrestling helped set it up and it's a nice showcase for college wrestling and pretty cool event.
It will be held at the Naples Navel base and will be a cool event for the troops.
Why exactly are they wrestling in Italy? Are they trying to get the world to take folk style more seriously or make it an olympic sport? Is it a recruiting tool to get more kids to go to OSU? Do they just want some authentic pizza?
Think maybe John can talk Chamizo into coming over, take a redshirt, then fill in at 157?Why exactly are they wrestling in Italy? Is it a recruiting tool to get more kids to go to OSU?

My predictions for the Italy dual based on watching NC State in Reno.Think maybe John can talk Chamizo into coming over, take a redshirt, then fill in at 157?
Picc will beat Fausz comfortably when they wrestle, he deserves a lot more credit than what he’s getting at the moment and i for one believe he’s a title threat. NC State is probably going to go with Tariq Wilson at 133 i also don’t see Martinez losing to Donahue at all in any scenario but i also believe he won’t be the guy wrestling for OSU in this dual.
Fausz's size will create problems for Pic but I agree Pic will win. Donahue is better than you think. I did not list Lewallen but you may know more than I about his situation. (I know nothing and I did not see a list of who went on the trip). In any event Donahue will give either all they want.Picc will beat Fausz comfortably when they wrestle, he deserves a lot more credit than what he’s getting at the moment and i for one believe he’s a title threat.

Pic is ranked third in the country by Intermat so I think he is getting the credit he deserves. If he makes it to the finals he will have to beat the likes of Tomasello or Suriano and Cruz and Lizak and now Spencer Lee is coming out of redshirt. Not to mention Fausz and Bresser. Not saying he can not be a finalist but this is a loaded weight.Fausz's size will create problems for Pic but I agree Pic will win. Donahue is better than you think.

Lewallen went on the trip with the team I’d imagine he’s the guy that goes this dual. I know Donahue is talented but from what I’ve seen both OSU 149’s are betterPicc is absolutely a title threat. Are we for sure we don't see Boo at 149?
Will there be any type of live update besides Flo.
Glad to see that Lewallen went on the trip. Both Geo and Lewallen ranked higher than Donahue in various polls (Donahue 16th on Intermat). I was impressed with him at Reno. My feeling is that Lewallen is superior to him and Geo may be as well. I might have bent over backwards in giving the decision to Donahue and not knowing Lewallen was or was not on the trip. Just one of several matches I mentioned could go either way in my original post. What is scary to me about Fausz is that he is just as big as Lizak but much stronger and more aggressive on his feet. Needless to say that I favor Pic in the match. He is a better wrestler.Lewallen went on the trip with the team I’d imagine he’s the guy that goes this dual.

I sure do not feel good after that victory. Reminded me of Wyoming where we didn't get 1 upset but were upset several times. Moore actually wrestled smart and did not get majored by maybe their best wrestler. Weigel wrestled good accept he did not get close to a turn and he quits wrestling with seconds still left in the match and a reversal would tied the match ( sad). White is solid. Piccinini wrestled poorly and he looked like how he looked in the beginning of last year where he shoots and guys outscramble him easily and get the takedown. Kaid wrestled very good (dominating). I don't know what is wrong with Heil. It seems so easy to get on his legs and he just depends on defense. He deserved to lose and he seemed to just quit when he had 15 seconds to get away to tie the match. Lewallen wrestled poorly and he deserved to lose. Blaylock wrestled okay but he just isn't that talented. Rogers wrestled good but scored most of his points on his 1st move. He road a long time but did not get any points. A lot of pressure on Smith and he came through with the win which won the dual. Very unimpressive team effort for the cowboys. I bet coach Smith is upset especially with some of the lack of effort.Top guys have Dean figured out. No real killer instinct and keeping matches close is now costing him.
Whew! Let's start with the bright spots. Derek White was dominant with almost five minutes of riding time and two takedowns against a representive heavy weight. Kaid Brock looked good. Chandler Rogers looked superb with a major. Keegan Moore wrestled 7 minutes and was not embarrassed by Renda who tech falled Nolan Boyd last year. Jacobe did not look great but got the decisive win.My money is on Dean in the Finals. I don't think he's worried.
Thanks for the props but never feel bad for supporting your wrestler. He can beat Fausz but he just has to finish quicker and not let the length matter.I gotta admit when i was wrong, Obe said it could happen and he was right. Looks like Nick still has issues with guys who can scramble
And then i was wrong again props to you Obe

Boo did not look good. I am hoping he had the flu bug the way he wrestled. He was gassed at the end but Donohue is tough. Dean Heil wrestled the same match he always does and could have won but Kevin Jack put together two great moves at the end to Heil's one and deserved to win. Pic just did not have answers to Fausz's length. They can all get better and I believe we will reverse these losses when it comes to crunch time.
LETS GO POKES!!!
I hope you're right but back to back losses to Merideth and Jack should have his attention. The lower his seed the harder the path to the finals in the NCAAs. Needs to get back on track.My money is on Dean in the Finals. I don't think he's worried.
Give me the date and time when you have ever felt good. We won the dual and lost some close matches that can be reversed. Look on the bright side!I sure do not feel good after that victory.

Don't know why Heil wanted to defend by getting in a scramble ~20/30s remaining stay on your feet block and circle. We all know he is great at scrambling but with the new rules staying on you feet is probably safer.
Boo looked like first time in a "real" for the team match, got gassed or nerves, whatever, in the third. He should be fine.
Both Kaid and Chandler wrestled smart at the end, both could've gone for a throw but didn't.
This dual doesn't give one a lot of confidence in the everyone bump up a weight class for next year. All of their wrestlers look long and the length caused problems.
I watched the interview on Flo with coach Smith. Boo Lewallen did not help himself in this dual because John struggled giving an answer about the future at 149.I’d like to see Geo and Jonce wrestle each other

Perry said it’s by no means decided in his interviewI watched the interview on Flo with coach Smith. Boo Lewallen did not help himself in this dual because John struggled giving an answer about the future at 149.
I wasn't expecting a potential alternating duals scenario. I don't think ranking matches are the best way to determine a starter, but that's how things appeared. If the coaches were unsure, why didn't they send both to Midlands and see who performed better against a stacked 149 field? Then they could have both flown to Italy with the team.
