This could easily come down to the heavy weight match.They just beat Lehigh.
Really big match for Picc and seeding down the road.
Nick needs to wrestle better than he did against the kid from Minnesota. He looked pretty gassed in the 2nd period so maybe it is a weight issue. Sad that our wrestling team schedules a dual the same time and day the 6A football finals are scheduled.
I always like John"s humility in his statements about not being a wrestler anymore because of age. I also liked his statements about back in high school his sisters were beating him and so he couldn't have a big ego.

As bad as I am at predictions, I think the team score will be more open than this. Monday will be favored over Wyatt. Think the final four will kind of be tossups also, but we will win 2 of those 4. Looking forward to the dual.This could easily come down to the heavy weight match.
125 Nic Pic vs. Patrick Glory Dec. Pic
133 Reece Witcraft vs. Ty Agaisse toss up match but go with Travis team score 6-0
141 Kaden Gfeller vs. Pat D'Arcy If Kaden is able to wrestle MD team score 10-0
149 Boo Lewallen vs. Mike D'Angelo dec. for Boo Team Score 13-0
157 Wyatt Sheets vs. Quincy Monday MD for Monday team score 13-4
165 Witlake vs. Tiongson dec. for Witlake team score 16-4
174 Andrew Shomers vs. Parker dec. for Parker due to weight diff. team score 16-7

197 Dakota Geer vs. Brucki dec. for Brucki in close match teamscore 16-13
285 Austyn Harris vs. Connor Toss up match ?
Can’t recall seeing so little talent in an OSU line up in a long time. WTF is going on?

Not sure what to make of this team. I know G is out right now and Joe of course working on weight again.
Fix, Brock, G, and Joe all out. That is some firepower. You knew this was going to be a rough one this year. The good news is from next year on we will be as loaded as we have been since we hung a few banners.
Yeah, next year and the years to come looking very promising. I knew Fix was out for the Olympic Redshirt. What is Brock's injury?
Although the future looks good because of recruiting 20 and 21 classes, this year does not. We should get better this year if we ever get everyone who can wrestle for us this year, wrestling. Recruiting in the last 4 years has been substandard with 1 real standout ( Fix). In 2019 our class was rated 13th, in 2018 our class was rated 12th, 2017 we were 5th because we got Daton and 2016 class we were rated 12th. So our depth is not good. Gfeller and Smith not wrestling now hurts but they will be stars in our lineup when they finally start wrestling. One more thing we wrestled poorly as a team tonight. Probably the HWT wrestled the best and he probably would be rated 50th or worse at HWT in the country but he won a match tonight that was vital. By the way 2082 is very positive no matter what. I think he drinks orange kool aid 24/7.Me either. Are we just redshirting a lot of talent or poor recruiting the last few years?

Let's never miss an opportunity to trash Joe Smith, after all, he is a cheater, axe murderer, and serial rapist.The sooner Joe Smith finishes his eligibility, the better off this team will be. Joe, although a Senior, is the farthest thing from a "leader". Don't need him passing his bad habits to the young guys IMO. It will be also good for Joe as he can be a regular civilian and do whatever he pleases. I'd be shocked if he considers wrestling at the senior level. He lacks the heart, desire, and talent to compete at that level.
just calling it like I see it...don't like it..too bad!! Use to defend the kid to a fault...but after awhile you get to a point where making excuses for literally everything he does isn't doing him any favors. Not like I didn't say anything that's not true. I've acknowledge his talent so I don't need a refresher. I see a lot people on here ripping football, basketball players and coaches and with a lot more malice, so please spare me the self righteous speech. That sh*t don't fly with me.Let's never miss an opportunity to trash Joe Smith, after all, he is a cheater, axe murderer, and serial rapist.
Oh..... actually no, he's none of these things, just a very very tiny bit more like the rest of us that weren't crazy dedicated, insanely tough psychopaths like other D1 wrestlers. On his behalf, I'd like to apologize for his merely being a multiple time all-american for OSU.
Trashing him at every turn has grown very old.
Probably going to be a long year. Great talent for the future but until the NCAA comes down on Penn St (& others) for violations nothing likely to change at the national level.I just know the realistic outlook of 2019 especially once Brock tore his ACL and Fix confirmed he was taking an ORS. This shouldn’t be a surprise....
Now if looking at the future with what we have returning and coming in the next two classes doesn’t excite you then I don’t know what to tell you.
Burks, Fix, Witcraft, Mastro, G, Boo, Balmeceda, Mastro, Witlake, Surber, Plott, Taco, Ferrari, Geer, and Haas. That’s is a bunch of high end high ceiling talent.

There's another piece to this, it's not only about Joe. He's not the first guy to suffer injuries and/or burnout. But his actions impact others and the team as a whole. From the outside, it appears like the staff is bending over backwards to accommodate him.
We all know about last year's debacle when guys were forced to change weights multiple times. But how do the coaches allow a repeat of that this year? Shouldn't Joe have been required to make weight in preseason? Instead he was the last one to certify (along with G) on 11/1. He was between 174.1 and 184. Two weeks later he weighed in at 185. So he actually gained weight post certification. Has anyone heard of that before? Geer should not have been at 197 last night. Dakota & John both said he doesn't have the horsepower for the weight. He's wrestling up to get Montalvo in the lineup and help the team win duals.
The media is very careful not ask John any direct questions regarding Joe, so we won't get any answers there. But from the outside, it's not a good look for the program IMO.
