They still committed a violation, correct? It may have been found out dishonestly but they are still guilty of committing NCAA violations.

See: The Exclusionary Rule. The NCAA may not be bound by this, but should be.

I am not ragging on them, really. I know Sinclair is very good. Was hoping we'd see something different is all.

I saw something different. Aiden freaking Sinclair 😂. Jumping Jesus he is fantastic. Parker K will need all his guile and cache next year to get past him.

Sinclair is freaking great. Yes, Josh lost this one. Learn and move along. One match. I'm not going to be to get down on Alex or Josh, they are both improving steadily and they are both ready to step up next season. Both 174 and 184 are going to be interesting next year and I think Mizzou might just be the guys to beat at both of those weights.

No ones touching Keck next year at 184, unless Carter moves into his weight.

The fact that a few of the PSU players were not drafted might serve as a warning for next year's draft eligible players. Might make a few return for another year.
Tough for this year's undrafted players.

Yep, but some young men that have given their all are just ready to move on.

I feel bad for Jacobs as he seemed like a good enough athlete to play some in NFL, and he still might as a FA signing. But he was a 2020 class recruit so at least he was at PSU 4 years. King was a 2021 class player so he was only at PSU for 3 years and it seems his decision to leave was a poor one. Leaving after 3 years to be one of the last picks in the last round does not seem like a great plan, especially when your twin brother is in the same class and stays for his 4th year.

Maybe he's looking for someone who can qualify for nationals at 174 without needing an at-large.

That was impressive. Barr had a few good attacks but Sinclair turned all of them into his own points. I thought Sinclair would win but thought it would be super close

Thought for sure Barr would improve his setups this past year and he really hasn’t. That’s gonna be a big problem if it doesn’t get fixed.

Had a feeling he wouldn’t beat Sinclair but he didn’t look like he belonged on the mat with a much younger kid

Do you think that the TV broadcast schedule had any influence on the long days?

Click to expand...

Without going back and looking at the broadcast schedule: I doubt it. Day 1 was primarily (if not exclusively) streamed on Peacock -- and therefore TV scheduling is no excuse.

The Day 2 schedule was goofy and maybe TV played a role there -- but that doesn't change the late end (including treadmill time) to Day 1.

I'm a break pumper until I see true freshman get out from bottom. That's my litmus test.

Sinclair is really really good. That drag for the first td was beautiful. He also beat Connor Mirasola last year. He’s headed to Mizzou next year

Barr looks like the bad guy from Karate Kid. “Love the movie and can’t come up with his name. The one that bullied Danielson

Odd loss for Sealy, didn't he beat Lockett before? What happened?

Click to expand...

What happened is that Lockett is also very good. Lockett over Sealy is maybe a minor upset, if that.

Of wrestlers over 160 pounds, nobody has done more with a 5’3” wingspan than Ryder. Kid is tough as nails and refuses to be average. He was cracking me up all tournament. How is this working?

Nice! I saw time run out and it was 10-9 so I assumed he lost. That’s a great win!
