NWCA All Star Classic

[OSUBigBadBob]

This Saturday at 6 CST on Flo. What matchup are you most looking forward to? Surprised we didn't have any guys invited (or maybe we did and declined?)

I don't see how the Starocci/Keckeisen match isn't he biggest for sure, but Nasir Bailey might be my favorite non OSU guy

Van Ness vs Watters is interesting. Garvin vs Hall will be an exciting match and they will definitely get into some funky scrambles. And Feldman vs Taye they split matches last year. Feldman looks to have jumped a level or 2 so excited for this one

I’ve got Keck over Starocci and I predict he will control the match. Thoughts??

(Caveat, I don’t know or follow many of these wrestlers, specially the non-blue blood schools and smaller conferences, so occasionally/often, I’m taking a shot in the dark)
125: #3 Jore Volk if he wrestles to his potential

133: #2 Nasir Bailey, Little Rock i think Bailey is better

141: #3 Beau Bartlett, Penn State, he doesn’t lose

149: #2 Shayne Van Ness, Penn State

157: #5 Peyten Kellar, Ohio, because a wrestler from a small school to get noticed, is difficult and he must be good

165: #3 Hunter Garvin, Stanford he’s tough

174: #3 Cade DeVos, SDSU I like the under dog and refer back to 157lbs, plus he’s a good wrestler

184: vs #2 Parker Keckeisen, Northern Iowa, he’s dang tough and refer back to 157lbs and to 174lbs (match of the night and many may consider him the underdog) hope he wins

197: #5 Stephen Little, Little Rock what’s not to like, plus he’s from KY, my home state

285: #7 Taye Ghadiali, Campbell. refer back to 157lbs, 174lbs, and 184lbs

I'm getting bad vibes in this thread but having a hard time pinpointing it.

UNI over PSU always

But I agree with a couple of the others - no idea what we will see but cant wait to watch.

I have all the Penn st guys winning except Bartlett

 

[west2east]

Match order will start 197 give me
197 Little
Hwt Feldman
125 Volk
133 Bailey
141 Mendez
149 Van Ness
157 Kasak
165 Hall ( Garvin beat him 14-4 at NCAA)
174 Haines
184 Carter

165 might be the most difficult to pick. Garvin has looked good early on but has been gassing and Hall has a good tank.

Nahh, people didn’t like the Yankees either. It’s nothing personal. Why do you think Hoosiers was such a popular movie

I've never seen Hoosiers, or Field of Dreams, or Rudy. I'm more action adventure and comedy.

As a sports fan, you need to step up to the plate. Add to those, the movies Miracle and last but not least (some would say), Vision Quest.

Don't forget Slap Shot, what a classic that one is.

How could anyone ever forget that inspiration of the Hansen brothers
