2018 Super 32 Thread

[psumacw]

Super 32 is this weekend and the only PSU commit I can find is Adam Busiello. He'll be going for his 4th straight High School Super 32 title and his 7th straight if you include Middle School.

Here's Flo's article about Busiello: https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6255065-adam-busiello-chasing-super-32-history

Anyone know what time we can expect brackets?

Beau Bartlett band wagon here. Come on Cael, get a commitment from this kid! He will be one to watch this weekend.

A nice podcast from PA Power Wrestling previewing PA wrestlers and their chances at The Super 32 Challenge is available at THIS LINK.

Anyone give a brief overview of guys with PSU interest to keep an eye on?

They must be allowed time so that Rutgers can recruit them.

Neighbor's son is wrestling. Worked his ass off cutting firewood this summer to afford trip from Montana. I'm one of his customers. If you met him, I think "scrub" would be one of the last terms in your mind.

Sorry, Im a former/current scrub myself. Perhaps I'm too comfortable with the term. I'll consider your feelings next time. I'm not really a HS wrestling fan so Im still trying to learn how to talk about HS kids.

BTW, Busiello gets a really tough R of 32 opponent, so I have to retract my statement.

My son wrestled the Super 32 as well and while he was clearly a long shot and probably one of the least skilled wrestlers there, he was also far from a scrub and was a far above average high school wrestler. Yeah, at many duals tournaments and some open tournaments you're going to find lots of "scrubs" or "fish" (as we called them when I wrestled), you won't find many or any at the Super 32.

You're right. You have to have a pretty good résumé to wrestle at S32.

Another interesting name to follow is Bennett Berge (152). I believe he is a freshman.

 

[7brwnpsu]

Cold Smoke, please inform us as to his results. Hope he does well.

Thanks

Happy to do it. Sterling is a returning MT champ at 120, wresting 126 at S32. Won first round 5-0. Lost in next round to a kid from PA 11-4. PA kid must be tough, as he lost by only one point to Renteria from CA in next round. All I know.

 

[CropDuster507]

Nick Fea dropped in the Round of 64.
Zach Glazier goes down in Round of 16.

The kid he lost to was Killian Delaney, PA AAA finalist at 113 (lost by 1 pt to Pitt commit Ryan Sullivan), and was an NHSCA finalist. Willie picked him to finish 6th at S32. Yeah, he's pretty good.

 

[LemonPie]

Busiello is gonna be so friggin good on Top in college.

Can he sustain a cut to 152?

Busiello wins 6-4 over Daniel Pucino (Illinois) in R32. Busiello jumped out to a 5-0 lead but Pucino almost came back on him. Busiello seemed a little sloppy/gassed. May be partially due to having to wrestle with a nose plug and eventually a head wrap. Don't know anything about the other kid so credit to him wrestling hard

Pucino finished 3rd in Illinois 3A at 132 last year. Tough kid.

 

[El-Jefe]

Chlebove injured his elbow and will forfeit out. Sounds pretty serious -- tweets like this aren't good news.

 

[LemonPie]

Were the scores reversed or did Sokol just get torched?

 

[matter7172]

I'll tell you one guy who isn't cutting *any* weight right now - Ryan Anderson. Still looks great!

 

[El-Jefe]

Josh Lowe busted for reporting on the action without watching the action.

 

[Afw6006]

Busiello beats Mannella (GA) 7-4. Manella is a GA state champ

Whose Flo password did you decide to poach so you can watch? Lol

This comment has me concerned that maybe there's some fire to the debunked Busiello/tOSU smoke.

 

[dicemen99]

He took a beating and now he's out as incoming frosh Vafiadis beat him late. Still got a lot of time, but why do I think if Mitch Moore every time I see him?

 

[LemonPie]

That’s track! I found one for preseason nationals so I can watch some matches after. Not gonna steal live content. Man, what a joke Track is

 

[tikk10]

Busiello is going to be up on Mat 2 shortly.

 

[nerfstate]

Dang--Busiello's remarkable run at S32 comes to a setback. Got hurt, still almost fought to a win (that cradle at the end of 2 could have sealed it with some more time). Lost 8-5

 

[tikk10]

Busiello won't get #7, loses 8-5 to Blair's Shayne Van Ness.

He gave up his leg in neutral easily and paid for that twice. Managed to get a reversal and some back points late in the second to tie it 4-4. Then got taken down in the third and couldn't scramble his way out of it. My overall sense is that he likes to try complicated things in matches that are typically only going to work against lesser competition. Style points don't carry over when you don't get your hand raised.
