Beards issues look almost entirely tank related. How does he overcome that? Hes been in the program 2 years. In the first he looks like he can beat anybody

I was trying to figure out which one would drop first. They both looked exhausted. Good win by Michael!
Kerk gets the Major. That's good for the team score.
Orndorff hit with 4 stalling calls.

Conditioning and endurance for Beard are still an issue. Really like his offense for a 197 pounder, but has too many gas tank-induced lapses where he gets careless and gives up easy points. If he can ever get his conditioning to where it needs to be, look out. But of course, that's much easier said than done.
Wow. 6:10 of riding time for Kerk. Nice way to finish out the season with a win.
Hilger 6th, Kerk 7th says it all about seeding. Kerk used Thor as a drill partner at Bigs
It seems so odd, that when anyone gets a leg on this kid, he sprawls and in 90 percent of any match you see, that is the end of that, but with Beard it is as if his sprawl has no weight attached to it and the other wrestler simply goes right through it. I have not seen this before but there has to be a solution
6 All-American Heavys from the Big Ten.
he looks like he is always trying to get the far side leg (for the famous DT cradle) but doesn't get enough pressure on the head
Nice finish to the toughest tournament of the year for our big fellas! Congrats on AA
They should've waited until now before deciding tonight's starting weight.
Should've ended with 133, not started there.

Recipe for 2nd:
RBY wins and it's more or less over. We could lose the other 3 and Ferrari would need a pin to tie it.
RBY loses and we need 2/3 of Nick/Carter/Brooks to win assuming a Ferrari win or we can hope one of them pins then it's tied assuming a Ferrari decision.

It is certainly odd. He gave up 2 TDs to woodley where after the shot, he had Woodley completely flat underneath him, yet still gave up the TD. That goes to a stalemate or a TD to the sprawler 99.99% of the time

If his conditioning was improved his stance would improve.
4. Watch frigging clock for crying out loud. He has given up last 5 second of the period points multiple times this year in tight matches. Twice on that match.
5. Expand that gas tank
If Kerk gets the initial TD, fuggeadboutit. Congrats to him and Beard!!
The NCAA messed up Cael's plan by awarding everybody a free year. Next year will be even more interesting and after that, look out.

13-1 for Kerk
10-8 OT for Beard I
You know what's funny about Beard? His cardio genetics suggest he has a pretty high ceiling for developing a limitless gas tank. His older brother is an elite swimmer. I think a combination of a full season and learning to pace himself better is going to go a long way for him.
I think he wrestles tense which could be affecting his breathing. should spend more time hanging out with VJ.
Lol! Damn you AJ Ferrari and your big muscles, cocky straight-back saunter and huge DEADLIFT!! I bet you he has a really hot girlfriend just to make me feel more inferior. I can't believe he is from Texas. He is tailor made for the Jersey SHore!! Pauly D hi-hair and everything!
