How is VT getting their 4th point?
Penalty by Plott or one of the coaches?
Just busting your chops

Think it may be closer than that. Hope I’m 💯 wrong.

Isn’t it on 12/19 not 1/19?

My boy Sprat is going to continue what he’s doing! He’s putting skins on the wall and this mount is a bonus point win on a top5 guy. Given, Fresca is refreshing and sparkling, but really isn’t an aggressive soda. So he may just win?

Reece is going to pad his Greco resume.

Tagen will do Tagen things and Wrestle with the strength of an 84 pounder at 41.

Carter will have to figure out how to finish or he’ll never have a baby.

I’m excited about the match with Fish.

Cam will score 6-9 points in the 3rd.

Ham matches up really good or really bad with Leonard. He Wrestles his game, he’ll bonus.

Plott, well, I expect a tech.

Surber! I’m super pumped to watch a rematch here! He gave one away in Vegas, I don’t think he does it again here!

Wyatt…he’s a schools health insurance plans nightmare.

A few additive observations:

•Good challenge for Reece. Lehigh couldn’t figure out how to keep McGonagle in their lineup

•Latona seems to have faded a bit. Still dangerous but no problem for Tagen rn.

•Henson is a beast. Could get ugly.

•Mullen will see what he is missing out on

Should be a barn burner and agree probably closer than we might think. Intense matchups up and down the dual meet.

 

[proud2bpokes]

This Weill be a rematch from the Cliff Keen for Young/Henson. Young lost 3-6.

Young was right with him at LV, made one mistake and gave up a td, that was the match. Lets see who learned more from that match.

 

[thompsonja]

Hipolito Will be a tough out for fish stylistically.

 

[Otmat]

Anybody think there’s any consideration to sending Cutter Sheets out to see how he performs at 149?

To compete against the reigning national champ in a tough dual? Not a chance.

Plus Carter was pretty close to upsetting him at Cliff Keen.

 

[Okie_Pat]

I think Carter did get screwed in that bedlam match and he's been frustrating to watch him get on a guys leg 4 times and unable to finish. His development has been anything but linear, but I do think by the time March comes he will have things figured out. It just isn't good to take bad losses here and there throughout the season bc they are starting to add up for him and 149 is stacked and he will end up getting a tough seed at nationals unless he's able to get a few major upsets.

Agree, I'm extremely frustrated with Young but part of that frustration is you see the potential. He was right there with Hensen and Echemendia.

He is finishing TDs away from being very, very good. The problem, he is not finishing at a high-rate.

When he hits TD attempts head on he tends to struggle to finish. Swing single would help, maybe. Or snap down. Whatever can get his opponent off balance. Just armchair coaching lol, I'm sure the staff will look at things.

I mean he just can’t break an ankle grab. That’s what stalemates him every time. There’s a few ways to get around that so you would think that’s a fairly easy fix, but then why hasn’t it been fixed!

 

[Okie_Pat]

He cant seem to establish control of the waist once in on the leg even if very deep. He has his head and chest down too low, gets planted on the mat and always gets countered in on his legs and ends in a scramble stalemate. I know what im seeing just kinda hard for me to put into words.

Starting to believe it ain't technique... He might just have a strength issue.

How? If McGonagle and Wolak dont wrestle, its going to be a blood bath. Even if they do it wont be close. I've got it 36-3 if they dont wrestle and 32-3 if they do. Henson only win of the Hokies. Plott smokes Stewart (how is he ranked at 0-4?), Surber gets revenge on Smith, Hendrickson dominates Mullen, and Spratley edges Ventresca
