Cael actually took 8th in this tournament last year, losing to Fernando Barreto in the 7th place match.I thought Cael is the better wrestler based on result history. Cael took 2nd in this tournament last year as 1 example.
I believe he’s already qualified for the U20 world team trials so not much point in continuing maybe? Risk injury.Anyone know why Jax forfeited in his consolation match?
Did he get caught in a leg lace or something?Lost 12-1 to Seth Mendoza
Nope. 4 take downs I think with 4 back points. One was a four point move. Mendoza looked good.Did he get caught in a leg lace or something?
Mendoza hit 3 fireman’s with two of them being 4 points. About everybody in the country, including OSU, recruited Mendoza. He is going to be a problem at Mizzu.Did he get caught in a leg lace or something?
Could be but I have a memory of him getting into the finals against Ohio State's Bouzakis and getting teched. It was disappointing but he just wasn't strong enough. I thought that was the 20 and under but I am not certain.Cael actually took 8th in this tournament last year, losing to Fernando Barreto in the 7th place match.
I do think Cael is the favorite over Larkin. Ladarious is really going to have to use his quickness, explosiveness and slickness to upset Sealey who I think beat him earlier in the year at some event. I also seem to remember Hughes beating Larkin in folkstyle last year. But is just by my memory, which has been and maybe justly questioned.Could be but I have a memory of him getting into the finals against Ohio State's Bouzakis and getting teched.

I looked it up. Like I said, Hughes took 8th last year at U20 US Open. Bouzakis teched him at U20 WTT in the finals - that's what you're thinking of.Could be but I have a memory of him getting into the finals against Ohio State's Bouzakis and getting teched.

Takats is from northwest Ohio same school and club as the Blaze brothers, if you see Perrysburg or BTW (Burnett Trained Wrestling), they are pretty dominant for a public school here.Heeg loses by Fall to Takat. Looked gassed most the match. Takat was a true freshman NCAA qualifier at bucknell
Cael Hughes wins 6 to 3 with 1 takedown, 1 exposure and 2 out of bounds. He gave up 3 points in the last minute and a half of the match.Takats is from northwest Ohio same school and club as the Blaze brothers, if you see Perrysburg or BTW (Burnett Trained Wrestling), they are pretty dominant for a public school here.
Lockett really wrestles good and beats Sealey 8 to 2. Lockett had a couple of takedowns, a 2 point exposure when he was down and a couple of off the mats. I love beating Penn.

I love others beating Penn St. also and Sinclaire who is going to Missouri beat Barr of Penn St. by tech. Very impressive.Lockett really wrestles good and beats Sealey 8 to 2.

At 97 McDaniel Nebraska beat Mirasola Penn St with a solid decision. Carroll teched McDaniel at the Last Chance I believe.I love others beating Penn St. also and Sinclaire who is going to Missouri beat Barr of Penn St. by tech. Very impressive.
I don't know about that, but at Iron Man Sealy beat Lockett in the semi's. Then Ferrari beat Sealy in double OT. The only points that were scored were escapes.Did Sealy lose in ot to Ferrari this year at who's #1 ?
Neither of them are up on Flo yet. Not sure why. I missed both while working after watching every single match of theirs last two days. I’m sure they’ll eventually be up.How do you watch the Lockett vs Sealy match
Yes, Lockett just keeps getting better, he likely has jumped a level since last year at this time.I don't know about that, but at Iron Man Sealy beat Lockett in the semi's. Then Ferrari beat Sealy in double OT. The only points that were scored were escapes.
I agree Pat. We have some great opportunities. The only concerns that I have are do we have too many guys pulling too much weight next year. We saw what happened when Plott went up a weight. Regardless I really like how our lineup is shaping up. If we get Henderson, next year should be a trophy team. A few bad breaks for Penn State and we could have a winner on our hands. It really sounds like Coleman has made some adjustments to be a great coach.This is a talented group about to come through and we haven’t seen what Sakamoto can really do. It feels a little different with several guys who are having a lot of early FS success that we were all hoping other young guys in the past would have. We got solid depth as well. Half of our lineup could be world team members at some level. Gives you some hope for brighter days.
I checked the 17 and under results and there was not 1 Oklahoma wrestler in the quarters. Michael Mocco is in the semi's.Yes, Lockett just keeps getting better, he likely has jumped a level since last year at this time.
Yes I can't wait to see Sakamoto wrestle folkstyle. I have seen 3 freestyle matches of Sakamoto at Junior Worlds that are on flo. The first match he got behind 3 to 0 but his opponent was in horrible shape and Sakamoto won 14 to 3. Second match he destroyed his German opponent 10 to 0 quickly. The 3rd match he was in on the legs of his Macedonian opponent twice but on the 2nd got cradled and pinned. He made the classic mistake of moving his knees up to his shoulder. Would have liked him to escape the pin and see if he could come back. He should wrestle in some opens and some duals to give Hughes some matches where he doesn't have to cut. Also maybe he will represent Japan at Junior Worlds again.This is a talented group about to come through and we haven’t seen what Sakamoto can really do.

I know he does but was wondering why he isn't competingApparently Merrill doesn't do freestyle??
I said earlier my guess is that he is already qualified for U20 WTT. Misses out on Pam Ams though by not wrestling this weekend.I know he does but was wondering why he isn't competing
He will represent Japan at 57 kg. He will wrestle 125 next year.I checked the 17 and under results and there was not 1 Oklahoma wrestler in the quarters. Michael Mocco is in the semi's.

Is Spratley moving to 133?He will represent Japan at 57 kg. He will wrestle 125 next year.
Rin is prob redshirtingIs Spratley moving to 133?
I was hoping Barraclough was going to hit the portal as soon as the season was over, he would've been a perfect fit for the team. Now that we have Fish,I don't think he fits in unless one of them wants to drop to 57 and I don't know how effective they'd be down in weight.Howie, I am not sure what the proper beating would be for that post, but I tend to agree with your comments. I really think that Cael Hughes, Tagen Jamison will not be able to hold their weight for another year. I have no idea about Jordan Williams. Hope we get the Hendrickson announcement soon. Interesting the Berraclough is in the portal. If we do not get Hendrickson we may have a little money left for Berraclough.
In Caleb's last three NCAAs:To my knowledge Fish has never AA'd or do the prospects look very good for him to do that. Beraclough has the credentials that he should be able to do that.
Heeg has outgrown 174…IMO
I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen from Robb. Hoping there’s a spot for him at some point. But if not, just means someone even better is there.He and Thompson will need to sort out 174/184 after this season. Have to think 197 and 285 are set for the next 4-5 years.
Heeg, Thompson, and Robb all have a high ceiling, IMO. Just need to find the right weight.
