They’re either hiding Arnold to protect his seed, or Arnold lost to Ferrari in a wrestle off. Chicken crap if it’s the former, embarrassing for Arnold if it’s the latter.

It may be neither of those two choices.

Duck season? PSU ducked Ayala. And Iowa ducked Carter.

Davis has had a relatively minor knee injury. Why chance it against a guy of Ayala's quality.

I agree, a real good wrestler Caliendo number 2 appeared powerless against Mesenbrink. He wins by tech. Haines wins by easy decision over Kennedy. Ferrari lost a close decision to Starocci, Ferrari gave up a stalling point in the 1st period but gained confidence and stuck with Starocci after that. Angelo was very impressive. Buchanon beat Barr 5 to 1 with a takedown at the end of the match. I think Thompson beat Barr in high school in close matches. Barr is up to 197. Kerkvliet beat Keuter by major. Penn. St. appears to be unbeatable.

Caliendo's style is a very poor matchup against Mesenbrink. KOT or Carr or Hamiti would be a different match, as we saw last year. A great counter wrestler can competitively get to the third period against Mesenbrink. Of course none of them are at 165 this year.

We need Texas youth wrestling to take off

That would be a very good investment for OSU wrestling.

lol. Ofcourse PSU fans think this way.

For many reasons, it’s not likely to happen.

Mainly soccer, football and baseball being HUGE in that state.

If you could get something like M2 or AWA set up in Frisco area it would produce. Doesn't have to be huge but give somewhere for the studs to group up and start training. Sports in North Dallas area are absurd.

I agree!

The amount of athleticism that would transition to Wrestling (other sports attrition) and the number of kids that leave those sports could generate some serious Wrestling.

I’m not sure why it hasn’t taken off at all?

Theres no major club/academy. It's high school rooms only. The athletes are here, just need a room and a few coaches with the right name IMO.

I’d love to say build it up in Houston, but north Texas makes the most sense to start. So many kids that you don’t need to be as big as football, just capture like 2% and it’ll take off. Go after kids who are great athletes but too small to be true top end football or basketball talent.

I mean honestly I think even with the kids right now already committed to wrestling, just giving them better development will make a huge step up. Then you start to see more interest after that.

Gable just went double leg straight to back to pin Slav of Rutgers. He's an animal.
