Could not view or listen to the match today except for 149 and part of 157 so I can make no first hand comments. However, very proud of Nolan Boyd and I do not care if Dean was getting over the bubonic plague. He was well enough to get out on the mat and strong enough to beat most people whatever condition he is in. Nolan is and always has been my favorite the last three years.
I was able to listen to the Collica match and it sounded like he could get the takedown whenever he wanted to and he did want to. Joe sounded like the aggressor but got out wrestled in scramble situations. He can turn this around. Once again we win again at 197 without a takedown and from what I read no offensive shots. However, he is good on defense and very strong on top.The decision may have been made that he will be the starter at 197.
Just watched a match on Flo between the 165 pounder from Wyoming and Keilan Torrres of Northern Colorado. Torres won handily at this weight and is 10-3 for Northern Colorado and we will see him at the Big 12. Chris Koo transferred to Binghampton for this year but although he is shown on the roster he is shown to have no matches. Do not know if he is injured or red shirting.
I think we saw the answer to Mike Tognetti's poll on another thread. Chandler needs to be at 165 next year and then we will see if he can stay with Marsteller. He is exciting but strength is too much up at 174.
Someone mentioned in the Cornell thread about Dean Heil and his doggedness once he has the leg. I can not remember a match where he has a leg and failed to get the takedown. Sometimes it can be a minute in duration but he just keeps improving his position and gets it.
It is looking more and more like we have settled on the team going into Big 12 with possible exception of 174 where we do not know the extent of Crutchmer's injury and 197. 197 is looking semi-settled with Weigel having very "strong performances" albeit with no takedown attempts. We have a strong team and although we may have lost in the rankings at 157 and 174 we have more than made up for this at 149 and 184.
LETS GO POKES!!
