Man Gable is smooth. He’s got that Ed Ruth chill out there. Looks like he’s wrestling a practice match against an absolute animal in Parris.
2021 B1G Tournament Session IV Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Not a good 1st period for Kerk. Way too much time under the much larger Cassiopi.
Edit - That 2nd TD for Cass was WAY too easy.

In my own mind I had Kirk way over hyped.
Guys, Kerk just got back. The conditioning and strength will get there.
Kerk needs 20 more lbs of muscle. He can't deal with bigger athletic heavies. Need more power to get off of bottom.
It's all good. He is still recovering and will add some bulk going forward and give some of these same guys hell. Look how handily Cassar took care of Paris 2 years ago.

Yeah as hard as it is too imagine he has made strides in the last year. Pretty certain he will be representing us on the next senior level team
Gable is unbelievable. Can't wait to see him mop the floor with Ferrari.
Not over hyped but expectations were a little high based on reality. I think he's as good as we all think he is he just needs a season not five or six matches
Well, there appear to be five distinct tiers at 285 in the B1G:
1. Steveson
2. Parris
3. Cass
4. Kerk
5. Everyone else

I’d say so. Really good job by your guy.
285 3rd Place Match: Kerk vs. Tony Cassioppi (Iowa)
Per 1
TC with a front headlock, nothing. Kerk in on a single, TC counters with a front headlock, they scramble, and TC gets the TD at the edge, 0-2. Kerk is flattened. Stall warning on Kerk. End. RT @ 1:49 for TC
Per 2
Kerk takes neutral. Kerk reaches for a leg, TC snaps the head down and gets the TD, 0-4. And Kerk is flattened once again. Stall call on Kerk, so it's 0-5. End. RT @ 3:19 for TC
Per 3
TC takes bottom. He's out in 8 sec, 0-6. Kerk tries a double, blocked. TC stuffed the head and working on it. Stalemate with 1:00 left. RT is locked for TC. TC with a TD makes it 0-8. End. With 3:30 in RT, it's a 0-9 major for Cassioppi.
Kerk finishes 4th at the B1G Championship
(And as an aside, once again Byers spent half the match doing PBP of the championship final. I wish somebody would tell him that when PSU wrestlers are competing, that's the only match he should focus on.)

Wasn’t expecting those results in either match...
This board owes "Fat Tony" a big apology.
On the bright side, Kerk should be well rested for NCAA's after his 5 minutes nap underneath.

Give Cass credit he wrestled his match and Kerk never really threatened him. Robbie, Bartlett, Joe Lee, Carter, Beard, and Kerk all need to get a lot stronger to finish their shots against better competition.
Jesus, some of you are damn ridiculous. Over hyped. Kerk just got back on the mat. No training, no conditioning. Get real with your nonsense. He wrestled 3 places above his seed. What the hell did y'all expect?
I believe that was in the quarterfinal match, which took place in Session I. If you recall from the Session I thread, I missed most the Session -- pretty much everything after 11 am. I did not see the Brooks vs. Brands match, so I can't comment on the incident about which you asked.
I was thinking that as well. Would way rather have Kem or Steveson.
Yes, he will get stronger going forward. They need to put him (they probably already have) on Cassar's conditioning program. Then he will be a force.
Absolutely should have been Steveson
Maybe in this case it was because of the 2 top guys going at it? I kind of appreciated the Gable updates TBH. But I totally get where you're coming from.
I think we need to see Kerk at Nationals before we can put him above everyone else.
LOL. Spencer Lee for overall dominance and Gable for dominating the #2 guy like it was a pigtail are more outstanding for starters.
You don't have to get so mad. MY expectations were obviously wrong. That's what I was saying.
Gable plays the heal so well.
Lee & Gable very well could be the Olympians this year.
