It also would have helped to have some more guidance in the corner. No matter what some say, I have to think Cael would have tried some coaching there.
I don't think anyone suggested or implied that. More about being impressed by where someone lies on the skills:experience curve. As a grayshirted freshman, Beard has more post-HS wrestling exprience than the traditional true freshman, and thus some might view his results yesterday as less impressive than if he were in his first year post-HS. Seems simple
enough to me.
Mike Evans, of course, is equally unimpressed with both. To each his own.
I hadn't seen Starocci much before the Scuffle. I was really surprised by his speed. He's a very solidly built guy--I wasn't expecting cat-like speed. He really gets in on that leg quickly and is very skilled at finishing (for a true freshman--no question on that one
!). Very impressive so far!
Joe Lee with a 15-0 1st period tech.
Used a cradle I'm not sure I've seen before. Had his opponents leg cradled. But he had wrist control, and then with his cradling arm, he locked onto the guys forearm for which he had wrist control with the other hand. That's a new one for me.

Joe Lee is up against Air Force's Menewaether on mat 1.
- Lee earns a stall warning at edge.
- Meneweather dives, Lee easily goes behind, up 2-0. Now looking cradle, gets 4 NF. Again with a modified cradle, now up 10-0. Looks to have that same cradle tight and there's another 4. Now it's 15-0 (stall point?) for the tech.

good match by Lee - xface cradle for 12 (3 times)... where did the other point come from - stalling? Somehow I missed that... did see the warning though
100% true, there's a reason Cael is in the corner and it's not just to pick his guys up after they win a National Championship.
Interestingly enough Meneweather had Rd32 6-0 Dec, Rd16 4-2 Dec loss to #4 Wittlake (remember when he was a PSU top recruit), then in Consis he had 2 consecutive pins before he ran into Joe and got taken to the woodshed.
Joe is super impressive and I hope he gets a shot at Wittlake just as another validation point.
Another observation. Wittlake at 165, what a joke? John Smith ruins yet another great wrestler with a foolish cut. He was a target 184+ for us.

Joe Lee get Jarrell (Drexel) next, and then the loser of the Griffith v Wittlake match.
Jarrell is a good test. Solid 5th year Vet wrestler.
How in the world is Wittlake at 165!?
Ah right - he's at Ok State.
Ah right - he's at Ok State.
was good for the swipes but I don't think he would have got a pin with that. Must be a strong boy!
To be honest we need t see how Wittlake's career develops, OTOH, I hope Travis enjoys dreams about food since he obviously won't be eating much the next few years.
Anyone notice Carter working his opponents fingers over on top? Its seemed to piss some guys off, lol. I heard through the rumor mill he actually did the same thing to Cael on his official visit and Cael was shocked.
Also in reference to Carter showing some David Carr speed, Carter's first Novice wrestling coach was David Carr's uncle the late Jimmy Carr. Pretty good coach to start wrestling with.

Hmmm, Reenen working on a 2nd period tech fall in consi’s. Quick injury recovery?!
sarcasm intended!
well not quite a tech - must have got sloppy at the end.

Today I think we really learn something about young JLee.
Rag doll those you should
Beat those you should
Pick up wins here and there against those on paper you should lose too.
Seems like a pretty successful freshman/tr freshman campaign in a brown shirt (red+grey=brown)

Jimmy was one of my assistants at that time. Great coach to have in the room.
Well, at least Smith is consistent--he made his own son do it last year, when 174 clearly would have been a better weight for him. It's hard to believe that Joe got beat out by Jacobe Smith at 174.
Were you there at the NOVICE tourney when the 200 pounder came out of the stands to beat Jimmys ass after Jimmy mouthed off to his wife? NorthEast I believe
Then when the AD asked him to leave the gym,he walked past the entire bleachers holding up #1 sign
Hilarious
Police were called and IIRC Jimmy got cuffed and stuffed.
GREAT WRESTLER
Good coach? Thats debatable.
No was not there and if I recall correctly that was when he was still coaching with team erie. And like I said a great coach in the room. At tournaments sometimes his emotions got the better of him.
A blitz campaign through which he storms like a trooper?
Hmm. Maybe not the best imagery.
Reenan has been called "looking hurt" for the past couple years. I think this is the new normal. He is 100% the guy you pick in a NCAA pool because his ceiling is way higher than most and his seed is going to come in poorly with some of these losses he's taking. He can compete with anyone, he could also go 0-2 at NCAAs. Beard knew how to win that match and to get in some sloppy takedown fest had the potential to not work well for Beard. Move on from that hornet's nest and get your bonus points on someone else.
Sorry I guess we need a different color for grey + red that causes less triggered imagery.A blitz campaign through which he storms like a trooper?
Hmm. Maybe not the best imagery.
Blue shirt?
Joe Lee advances by MFF.
Moves on to consi semis against the loser of
Griffith/Wittlake. Bout #743
