The US Open has several OSU wrestlers listed including in Sr. FS Dustin Plott at 79kg (174#), Brayden Thompson 79kg, 125kg, Konner Doucet. In the U20 division: 61kg Cooper Birdwell, 61kg Cael Hughes (134#, Cutter Sheets 70kg (154#),70 kg Jordan Williams, 79 kg Gatlin Wilson, 92 KG Kyle Haas (203#),65kg Teague Travis. During summer months many wrestlers wrestle up a weight but not a good sign that Kyle Haas is wrestling at what is virtually 203#. It will be interesting to see how Cael Hughes, Jordan Williams, Cooper Birdwell and Teague Travis wrestle in this tournament. At this point Dustin Plott is the only starter from last season wrestling and he is down to his usual weight of 174#.
 
Still several guys not registered that I was hoping we would see...both Ferraris, Travis Mastro, Blankenship, Robb, Mechler, etc.
 
Blankenship had shoulder surgery so will be out a few months.

tell that to Chandler Rogers. OkieSt guys are the best cutters in the multiverse
 
Does anyone know why Carter Young isn’t registered for the open? I figured he would be a sleeper at 61kg but haven’t seen his name on the entries. It would be nice to have a couple more starters wrestle at the open.
 
AJ just had shoulder surgery. Almost doubt we see him before Jan 1, 2023
I agree that AJ is still in recovery mode and not ready to wrestle. As far as Anthony is concerned who knows and he may have more fence mending to do before he returns to wrestling.
 
Troy Spratley (Minn) manhandled Robbie Howard (PSU) in the 1st round. Pretty surprised by that result.

Spratley had a trap arm and scored 8 quick points at the end of the first.

Thompson beat O'Malley @ 79 KG and faces Marsteller in the quarters next. O'Malley is very good in FS and has a win over Wittlake.
Thompson loses to Marsteller 11-1 but took the match to the last minute of 2nd period and fought off several Marsteller moves. Watched his match with O'Malley and it was 1-1 at the end of 1 period and O"Malley tried several attempts at throwing Thompson with double unders but could not. Two great duck-under takedowns by Thompson along with 4 points with leg laces led to the 9-1 victory for Thompson. Thompson looks very hard to take down and muscled up well with O'Malley. Marsteller was relentless taking him down. Takes a lot of confidence to enter senior FS as a high school sr.

Cael Hughes won his first two matches easily but he was teched in quarters 10-0 by Dylan Chappel of Pennsylvania. Konner Doucet won his first match by fall in senior FS and he looks much bigger.
 
Thompson beat McBryde and will place at the Senior Open as a HS junior. McBryde made the U23 World Team a few years ago.
I agree Brayden is likely the most impressive wrestler with Cowboy ties at the US Open. Lujan who would have been seeded 1st at Nationals the covid year and he has done real well in freestyle won a fairly close match with Brayden. Thompson wrestles for 5th against Marstellar. Cael Hughes did not finish well losing by tech falls in his last 2 matches. Disappointing that Kyle Haas did not wrestle. Jordan Williams has won a lot of matches but i was surprised how easily Panero Johnson from Iowa State beat him. Kovacs was beating him on the match decisively but Jordan go a defensive pin. Even Dieringer lost to Josephs in the quarters in the tournament. He will wrestle Taylor Lujan for 3rd. Jordan Oliver has wrestled to the finals where he will take on Pantaleo. White at HWT lost to Lance of Nebraska to get knocked out in the consolation bracket.

I forgot Dustin Plott was registered to wrestle at 79 KG seniors but apparently didn't wrestle. It is frustrating how few Cowboys wrestled in the US Open. However Ladarion Lockett is wrestling in the 15 and under and has easily won all 3 of his matches which puts him in the quarters.
 
Harley, I think Williams needs to hit the weight room. That guy that beat him was pushed all over the mat by Anthony Ferrari at Super32.

Williams ended up taking 3rd, a very nice showing.

Teague Travis took 7th and looked very good.

Thompson took 6th. He was competitive with Marsteller in the last match.

Wrassler I think you are right. Several times Williams has a wizzer in and Johnson just overpowers the wizzer for the takedown. Dieringer pins Lujan for 3rd. Dieringer wrestled poorly in the 2nd period to lose to Joseph. Lockett won in the quarters and then wrestled KJ Evans in the semi's and lost a very high scoring match. He got caught in a bear hug and some under and under's and got thrown. The score was like 20 to 14. Lockett was very upset because of all the injury timeouts Evans took which seemed for cramps and challenged calls. Probably also upset because he put himself in bad places against a guy who loves to throw.

Oliver also lost 3 to 0 to Pantaleo where he lost a point to passivity and then in the 2nd period took a poor shot and didn't get too close to a leg and Pantaleo spun around him for 2 points. No offense at all for Jordan and so you lose.
 
I believe J O and Alex will both win WTT . Pantaleo never took a shot and scored on JOs shot. He a very good defensive wrestler. Alex controlled the match but gave up a throw while doing a pushout. Joseph did the same to McFadden in the finals but stepped out just before his throw. Looking forward to Final X.

Lockett is in the consolation finals for third. He was ahead 6-3 when his opponent fell to the mat for a second time(apparently a concussion).

Lockett won the 3rd place match like 11 to 6. His opponent wanted to overpower him but Lackett wrestled much better than he did against Evans using his speed and pushing away from his opponent when he tried to get in throw positions or push out of bounce. Again Lockett wrestled much smarter than last night.

Hopefully we see more guys at U20 and U23 world team trials. Brayden Thompson has to be a favorite at U20s now. Plott will probably go for U23s. Doucet will for sure be at U23s. Jordan Williams and a few others are qualified.

Honestly the representation at this event is MUCH better from OSU than it has been in the past. Kinda represents that we'll allow our guys to pursue their freestyle goals if they want to. Compare our participation numbers to Iowa's...
 
Carter young registered for the world team trials at 65KG. Great news that he’s not at 61KG
Carter Young was 0 and 2 today at senior trials losing 9 to 7 to Kolodzik and 4 to 4 on criteria to Josh Saunders He lead 4 to 0 and gave up 2 poorly defended takedowns in the last 40 seconds. He did look bigger but. Brayden Thompson lost to David McFadden 10 to 0 after beating Reenan 5 to 2. In his first consolation match he lost to Starocci 10 to 1. Painful to watch Dieringer lose to Joseph again 3 to 2 giving up a takedown with 8 seconds left. He really seemed to have froze giving up that takedown. Alex again looked like he was in misery afterwards. Jordan will wrestle Deakin in the semi's at 70. At HWT White beat Gadson 1st round and then got teched by Cassiopi. White is in the consolation semi's after winning 2 matches in consolation over Francissco and Lance.

Jordan Oliver beat Deakin 7 to 4 and Alex lost to Starocci 3 to 1.
 
Michigan not treating him well.
Jersey Robb is wrestling for the Beast of the East at 220 but mostly 195. He is 6 and 1 and his team is in the finals. Robb lost to Luke Rassmussen who is a South Dakota State signee but has 4 or 5 pins in his wins. He did pin Kaden Glass in this dual tournament.
