NCAA's - pre-tournament discussions

Guessing Happel gets the 1 if he beats Jamison in the B12 finals. He's 4th in the coaches poll and beat Hardy H2H. Has not faced Beau, Mendez, or Alirez this year.

That's just a guess. He also doesn't do as well in Win % or RPI, relative to the top guys.

Mathematically, there's a scenario where Beau or Mendez could finish 3rd at B10s and still get the 1 seed at nationals. But I would expect that to be overruled by the committee with their flexibility to change seeds +/- 3 spots -- cannot see NCAA giving the 1 seed to a conference 3rd placer over every conference champ.
Depending on how seeds work out we could see some combo of Mendez/Bartlett/Alirez meeting in the quarters that is insane

Observations from PIAA States

Perry has to get more offensive. Penn State coaches will fix that.

I love Herring and he will be a kid that thrives in the Penn State room.

Asher is dominate and even looks dominate the way he carries himself off the mat. Quiet tough and focused.

Mario Hutcherson is foreal. This kid wrestled on one foot after his ankle injury and made the podium. I think he would have took 3rd or 4th if not injured.

Colin Gaj was impressive. I would have loved to see him vs Maddox Shaw.

Adam Waters was dominate and then committed to Ohio State. Penn State fans booed him. That wasn't cool.

157 SF - Tyler Kasak VS Antrell Taylor (NEB)

Period 1:
Kasak quickly snags a leg & elevates it. Taylor tries to bounce off the mat, but Kasak drags him back in, then drops down & finishes the TD, 3-0. Out of bounds & restart. Taylor is still down, 2:25 left. Taylor sits out, then gets to his feet, but Kasak takes him out of bounds, restart. Taylor is still down. Kasak has 26-sec RT. Taylor gets to his feet & gets the escape, 3-1, 2-min left. Kasak shoots, but Taylor circles away. Kasak attacks again & gets another TD, 6-1, then flips Taylor to his back, gets chest to chest & gets the FALL!!! That was a beatdown!!! What a stud!!!

Bartlett I didn’t think looked *that* bad relative to how the VomBaur match went last time they met. But Van Ness has looked awful for a little while and we’ve all just sort of hand waved it
I know I’ve said this multiple times but I just want to remind everyone. PJ Duke hammered Webster multiple times this summer
