Shame on these Pedo state fans for booing JB. He handed it to Mitch
Jden about to leave his shoes out there? Explains why he didn’t look very good today…
Being honest lol but also great career for him. Best of luck.

Crap!
Hate it for him
I didn’t think they would wrestle again until tomorrow.

Yes. And the guys that had a pass through to tomorrow had to weigh in today also.
Kinda your typical big Daton match. Just had nothing to show for. Really thought he would whoop his ass after seeing him wrestle earlier today. These are tough brackets though man, sheesh.
Seems like Fix peaked early in his career.
Anyone know why a recruit like Mesenbrink went to Cal Baptist out of high school?
PSU has so many current and former wrestlers in the Trials.

The finals shows you the difference between OSU and PSU right now, that room is on a different level and I can see why recruits want all those wrestlers with them in the off season.
Kyle Snyder won a world championship in his freshman season and Olympic gold the following.
Amit Elor won a world title while in HS and another one after. Going for her first Olympics this weekend.
As much as I want Fix at the CRTC, I think he needs to get away and be with different coaches and teammates for a bit. Not a dig at our program honestly but after so many “all mosts” I think he needs a change.
it’s like he needs to make a pilgrimage to some guru in the caucasus
john low single
jb blast double
fix needs a move and the mental freedom to execute it
and with you that’s no dig on anyone involved in his career, kid is everything you want and like to see in a young man
to that end what the hell is jax forrest doing
goodness he was getting to gillmam just gave up the mindless push outs early in the match
also explains the officiating against carrol
jyden deserved the walkoff last night
no better ceremony in sport than a great one leaving shoes on the mat
and jb wasn’t about to do that in
state college lol
Consis
Ringer pins Wick.
Lockett runs out of time against Berger lose 4-6.
Carroll just got taught a lesson by Nate Jackson. Tech in like 30ish sec. Without a leg lace haha. Second 4 point was just a nasty bull rush double.

Daton ff out, is he going to go for the 61 world team? Also no Perry, is Perry out?
Would have liked to see Daton against Lee, I think better match up, doesn’t matter team wise would still have to beat Gillman.
Gilman V Lee was a good first match. Spencer able to move Gilman a lot more than Daton was able to.
Daton always has problems against taller guys. He can’t get score with space bc he doesn’t have an ankle pick or double leg go to move. I don’t really understand his struggles at this point. He just doesn’t seem to be getting into the positions he wants and getting good angles on guys. Is this mental or training, has he peaked and just on the decline from a 7 year college grind? All I know is that he wrestled Gilman 3-4 years ago with much more physicality and confidence. He just seemed to be much more motivated then.
I will also add that it seems like since he got beat by Gross back in 2022 his freestyle success has been slim. Not sure if that was the turning point mentally.

PSU RTC is Different level. We need a lot of new blood in ours and new set of eyes
Haven't seen it mentioned here, but yesterday Facundo absolutely worked Levi Haines, it wasn't close. The same Haines that just breezed at 157 3 weeks ago.
Not sure where Facundo projects to with Haines and Mesenbrink stacked right on top of him in their lineup, but I'm not sure he isn't the best of those 3.
The number of PSU guys facing off in this tournament that spend all year training together is truly stunning. Especially when you add in the Dake's and Gilman's, who aren't even PSU guys but are in the room.
Olympic is a whole new level. Nolf was a menace in college but so far is only mildly competitive with the Olympic guys. I know that weight classes are broader but still.
Uh, mildly competitive? Nolf has hung right with Dake for 3 or 4 years now, he's pretty clearly a top 5 guy in the world at that weight if Dake is top 2.
Been discussed recently on here. TBD but I feel like that’s going to be the case. Which will make him a damn good coach
Just wanted to say that Christian was damn impressive at the Trials, and every other fan base noticed it. He is going to be a force on the national and international levels for some time. You have a great one.

I love Nolf as you can imagine but Dake is a clear step above. Maybe top 10 in world but not sure about top 5. Dake is better.
The thought is MM at 157, Haines at 165, and Facundo at 174. Hints of CStar coming back for his 5th and taking over 197. Yes, 197.
Regarding MM, he committed to Cal Baptist as a junior but didn't jump levels until his senior year. So he wasn't heavily recruited before his commitment. Because of his faith and upbringing, he chose to honor his commitment to the coach. When his coach moved on, he felt his commitment was null and void, and that's when he transferred.
Youth versus experience in freestyle. Simple as that. Jax will be a great addition to the Cowboy program.
kid is incredible no doubt
appreciate your perspective to this board
hate it for DT 6 weights is murder
