Jesus, now Hall-Brooks. Maybe Brands can point to these two matches to show recruits Penn State guys don’t always win
So that’s 5 NLWC guys in Final X. 5 more in the Open semis. 2 (pending 3) former PSU guys for other RTCs in the semis.
But surely PSU is just buying all these recruits and transfers, right?

Wait ‘til Arnold gets ahold of him.
What a performance from Carter! His reattacks were on point and he is one of the cleanest finishers I’ve ever seen. Great match
Morgan tried his own mixer, but couldn't get it. losing on criteria 1-1 after 1.
Schultz's size seems to be a thing, Morgan faded some, but mostly just couldn't create an angle. Loses 1-4

Just realized it’s Nick Lee vs Beau Bartlett in semis. That’s great and that sucks.
Carter's win was impressive. He continues to improve. Using Kemmerer as a yardstick, you gotta say he's improved a lot. He looked solid as a rock, his reattacks were perfect.
Brooks just bullied his kid. He was like a tank, running the kid OOB over and over.
Cenzo remains the same. When a guy attacks Cenzo, it's like hitting a brick wall. He doesn't budge an inch.

If there's anything left of Carter after Cam Amine is done with him.
All that said, since more guys from the HWC lose earlier in these tournaments, I prefer their roster since these early exits give them more time to train the college guys in the room
Way to turn a negative into a positive, Bob.
Beau's strength really showed against Henderson. It's gonna be tough to watch him vs Lee and Brooks vs Hall. I'm assuming Nick will win but the Brooks/Hall match is a toss up, Mark looks ridiculously strong.
I didn't see it but his prior match he got roughed up by McDonald.
Semis are tonight at 9 eastern (per Flo), with consis starting at 7 eastern.

It’s been (dare I say) fun watching it all come together for Beau these last two months.
I wish Van Ness was wrestling too.
As Penn State fans, if we can’t/don’t enjoy these days, shame on us. We seldom in life “get it all”. But, Cael’s guys a have left me smiling more so than any team I’ve ever followed (Phillies, eagles, etc). Not only do they deliver, but they do it in style. I never have to apologize or make excuses for his wrestlers. We Are.
These semis are going to be fire! Pretty much every match is must watch. Bartlett has really improved but Nick Lee is a bad matchup for him I think. Not sure how he deals with Nicks length and nonstop leg attacks. Really interested in Ringer vs Starocci and Nolf vs O’Toole. Ringer seems to be wrestling really well again after a down year last year. Think Carter wins a pretty controlled match though. Nolf vs KOT is my dream matchup. The 2 most creative, fun, and entertaining guys in the sport. I think KOT gives him a match but Nolf has jumped levels and is now a top 5-7 guy in the world. Should have some really fun exchanges in this match
Love me some Baby Marky.....but Brooks is probably too much man for him at this point. 8-2 Brooks.
Gimme AB. More naturally sized for the weight and more dynamic on his feet
And that’s the last match Kirk Ferentz is letting him wrestle
Only so much of that Ferentz will tolerate.
Sandor45
HR MVP
Nelson is a title contender next year. *if healthy
Is Ferentz’ staff booing him now?
That’s a bold statement after losing to Kemdog who then gets hammered by Carter
