This lineup would look good and we would be covered at the upper weights as well. This would be a solid young core. But we still haven't addressed the lingering hole that will be at 165. That's why I think we really need to throw the kitchen sink at Mesenbrink.
I saw he did not wrestle this last weekend at the Jay Hancock Yukon Tournament. Hughes, Jordan, Lockett, Thomas, Voinovich, Sommer and McComas won the tournament.
Heeg is back in the Stillwater lineup and Thompson is eligible now in Track. Brayden made 190 for certification and might go 175.
Caliendo is very strong, has a good defense and he is good on his feet. The smaller colleges wrestling division 1 programs get very upset if they develop a wrestler and then big colleges come in and recruit a wrestler to enter the portal. Several coaches of smaller programs indicated that coaches tried to recruit their wrestler during Nationals. Mark Branch has to be very upset that Buchanen was actively recruited before he entered the portal. This is bad for wrestling. Other schools should not be recruiting another college's wrestlers unless that wrestler has entered the portal first. We do need a 165 though, but we should do it the right way.
He's having a great year. I don't know how hard the coaches went after him, but we discussed him a lot as an option for 125. When Mastro committed in the fall of 2018, there no longer seemed to be a need.
He must have really done some developing because coming out of high school I did not think of him being a prospect we should go after.
He might be another Caliendo. Willie had Brown @ #70 on the 2021 Big Board. Wouldn't surprise me if some teams went after him.
I checked on the Stillwater wrestlers replays and it appears the tape didn't work and so no replays as far as I could tell from the Stillwater High dual. I did see Heeg's 1st period pin so Flo figured out the tape was not working before the dual ended.
Flo being Flo
I checked regional results for Stillwater everyone of the real prospects are in the finals Jordan, Smith, McComas, Hughes, Voinovich, Lockett, Sommer and Heeg. Did not see Thompson as was mentioned by Wrassler also interesting Beric Jordan is the 2 seed behind undefeated Kiser with Jordan having 1 loss. I know Jordan lost at super 32's in the finals but could he have lost to Kiser from Ponca City?
I think the loss is from the Ironman finals. Lockett is also showing a loss and he took 3rd at Ironman. Kiser probably got the #1 seed because he's a returning state champ in OK.
Returning state champ is the first criteria for seeding I believe.
That Kiser must be good because Beric Jordan only beat him 4 to 3 in the regional finals. At 106 Thomas won with all pins. Smith won at 120, McComas got beat 2 to 1 in over time by Gage Walker also a junior. At 132 Hughes won by 2 pins and a major, Roller won by 4 1st period pins at 138 and Voinovich won 3 to 1 in overtime over Giddens at 150. Lockett won by 3 pins then 6 to 2 over Guerrero at 157 and Sommer won by 3 pins and then 7 to 2 in the finals. Heeg won by 4 1st period pins and Robb won by 3 pins and then 13 to 7 in the finals.
seemed like he didn't want to go 215, asked to wrestle off for 190 and was told no, so didn't wrestle.
read it on twitter, so must be true.
