I missed Kerk’s match and went back to watch while reading the PBP and it was announced he MFF’d and they raised Wood’s hand? Is there a joke I am missing somewhere!?

Who are the p4p kings in this year's tOSU lineup?

Kharchla, yes, Sasso was top 10 and Hoffman was up there. Heinselman, Romero, and maybe Smith were good prospects but not considered elite IIRC. Overall Brutus has not terribly underperformed in this tournament.

Now if tOSU doesn't improve in the next couple years with all the talent Tan Tom is bringing in, then you definitely have a point.
I’m going back in time- OSU had the highest average recruiting ranking from 2010-2020, and the highest rank ‘22 class
 
GoPSUSports:
Kerkvliet met No. 7 Mason Parris of Michigan in the consolation semifinals at 285 in a bout that would all but clinch the team title for the Nittany Lions. Despite battling an injury, Kerkvliet dominated Parris from the outset.
...
The victory was to move Kerkvliet into the third-place bout, but the injury forced Kerkvliet to take a medical forfeit (not a loss) and the Nittany Lion sophomore's tournament ended with the critical victory over Michigan's Parris, helping to wrap up the team title. Kerkvliet finished the tournament with a 4-1 record including a pin and a major. He leaves Detroit as the fourth-place finisher at 285 and a two-time All-American. Kerkvliet ends his season with a 22-3 overall record.

Did it strike anyone as odd last night after Kerk beat Parris that he walked right off the mat and away from the coaches. Totally ignored them. Struck me as I watched it.

This track record goes back more than a decade

It would be cool if they created a montage of the best and not so good moments from the tournament. There has been many this weekend.
 
No one has scored a point on O'Toole in 4 matches.

I believe C-Starr has only given up escapes; right?

There's never a good time to get injured but after your last match of the season is probably the best time if you HAD to pick. Kerk has all offseason to rest and get anything repaired that he needs to. My speculation (and my speculation only), next year is his last year anyways (probably wants a full free focus for 2024 then MMA)

Trent Hidlay has purchased real estate on the perimeter of every mat in the nation and lives there alone like a hermit. He's an edgy sort of guy, I guess.
Question for the board RE T. Hidlay: When Hidlay rides the perimeter, why doesn't AB just trot to the center of the mat and wait for Hidlay to engage? Seems like after that happens a few times it would make it difficult for the ref to ignore Hidlay's continuous stalling.

If they hit Hidlay with a stall in the first it would cure all of this.

I like it, but literally want to see the “trot” part when he does it.
 
Just rewatched it. He hugs Parris, gets his hand raised, and shakes Cody’s hand as he heads off the mat. (I think it was Cody.)
Don't think it was Cody. Probably a MI assistant. There is definitely some drama going on.
 
Not an appealing style to attract fans to the sport of wrestling. Not even sure it's the most effective he could use to get results. It's weird to see a guy who looks like mini-Hercules just hanging on the edge.
And it's blatant when opponet has the led he literally jumps out of bounds.

The toughness Kerk exhibits is amazing ... you would NEVER have guessed he was hurt the way he went after Gable last night and then handled Parris this morning. He got his knee torqued in the final reversal against Cass also and wrapped it the next day and battled back for 3rd. Wouldn't be shocked if some of what's ailing him is season ending stuff normally but he's still out there, battling for us. He's due for some well deserved rest.

Agreed. There were a couple moments last night vs GS when I thought it looked like Kerk was looking a little hobbled, but he just seemed to shake it off and forge ahead.

Candidly, there was no need for Kerk to wrestle this morning either. Michigan finished 1-2 in their matches leading up to Kerk so we could have afforded to just give Parris the MFF but he wanted to toe the line.

Technical question. Just prior to finishing his pin of Hoffman, Bastida pulled on Hoffman's headgear.

If called, what would be the ruling?
I saw that too. I don't know for sure, but I think that the action would be stopped when noted and Hoffman awarded a penalty point (Bastida would get the back points earned up to that point). Obviously Ryan didn't see it or he would have challenged it.

TaTo typically uses up all his challenges by the first round, so he may not have had one to use had he noticed it.

OTOH, he may have been able to shame the refs into doing an independent review, as he has been known to do.

I believe if the ref determines he headgear grab helped turn Hoffman the back points go off the board also.
