I can't say enough good things about Kasak. He has been amazing, and nothing would shock me in two weeks. He is strong and aggressive for a true freshman. I can't wait to see how this all works out next year!
4:30Are 3rd place bouts this session, or 4:30? Thanks
I think they’re wrestling 1st, 3rd and 5th at 4:30Are 3rd place bouts this session, or 4:30? Thanks
He’s aggressive, confident, and has been a more than able replacement after Shayne’s surgery.
I wonder, if Beau Bartlett leaves after this year, does Tyler return to 141, or does he RS?
Iowa under Brands is over, right? Like we can call it? Sure, there’s that title run, but boy did they need our team sort of flailing to get there.How does Penn State continuously come back from Iowa losses with wins later in the year (when it matters most)? It's hard to figure out, since the Iowa message board has made it abundantly clear that Cael and company cannot coach, while the Brands brothers are amazing coaches. Cael can only recruit. Weird.
Amazing the level of coaching and development that goes on in that room. It’s happened time and again with young kids who take a loss, and your immediate reaction is that won’t happen ever again.Cael and Co work their magic again. Kasak avenges a loss.
he just has to shoot more and first!Nice win for Nagao. His weakness is his reaction time on shots, and I'm not sure if it is fixable. He reacts so slowly to shots that they get in too deep for him to counter. It was nice to see him get a turn from top and he wrestled smart to get the win. On we go!
I don’t think Tyler will give 149 to SVN without a battle.He’s aggressive, confident, and has been a more than able replacement after Shayne’s surgery.

yea well you will look gimpy when you get your butt kicked!As I recall, Rathjen was strutting around quite proudly after that earlier match.
If it means anything, the announcer referred to him as a Junior when the wrestlers were introduced.I suspect that Beau most certainly is returning, so your question is purely a hypothetical one, but I don't think Kasak looks small at all at 149 and I'd be surprised to see him working back down to 141.
well if he redshirts next yr then back to 141 if he can make it would be perfect!I don’t think Tyler will give 149 to SVN without a battle.
Iowa was officially eliminated a few minutes ago. Michigan won't be eliminated until finals.Updated score, Davison still to go in consideration Semifinals:
Team Scores 1 Penn State 143.02 Michigan 117.03 Iowa 103.54 Nebraska 96.05 Ohio State 82.0
You know you're living well when your "worst" wrestlers are Nagao and Kasak. The 7 finalists is great, but a little disappointing when you think that with a healthy Starocci and Van Ness and we'd have likely had 9 finalists. Just amazing either way.Nine guys wrestling. Seven in the finals; two in the consolation finals. Wow.

Tend to agree with this. I really didn't see much of Nageo before this season, other than his matches against RBY. So my baseline is mostly the 2023-24 season, which indicates that Nageo is a good wrestler but has some limitations/weaknesses. His B1G tourney has been pretty much in line with that.I'm just not seeing it this way. I think he is what he is. I actually thing he is wrestling pretty well this weekend.
The Turley-Sparks consolation bout was also filled with challenges that took way too long to sort out. The scoring was changed 2 or 3 times, after a lengthy delay each time. Turley ended up winning 10-9.Van Dee. After 2 challenges that took wins away from Teske. The first at the end of regulation and the second in DV.
I know this is tongue in cheek, however, you haven’t been to GIA lately!!!! They are about to send the Brands brothers down the river!!! 😂😂How does Penn State continuously come back from Iowa losses with wins later in the year (when it matters most)?

Score going into 7th place matches (MICH and PSU have no wrestlers this next session)
Team Scores 1 Penn State 143.02 Michigan 122.53 Nebraska 105.04 Iowa 103.55 Ohio State 82.0
Penn State is 22-2 (24 total matches)
Michigan is 24-8 (32 total matches)
Michigan winning all their remaining matches by decision and us losing the rest would still put us up.And all teams except PSU and Mich are mathematically eliminated from 1st place.
Who questioned that it is in doubt? Obviously, we are all concerned, and it doesn't seem like any of us actually know what is going to happen. Hell, Cael admitted that Carter wasn't happy with him. The situation is a bummer. I'm just going to hope that it works out well for all involved.
yes he's done for session 3 and will be back for session 4Did Byers logoff for the session? I seemed to have lost him on LionVision.
It happens every marchI know this is tongue in cheek, however, you haven’t been to GIA lately!!!! They are about to send the Brands brothers down the river!!! 😂😂
isn't he going for his 4th NCAA title? Why would he cut off his nose....etc.I think that we know that Carter can be impulsive with some of his actions and comments. That’s one of the things that I like about him, and it makes him entertaining.
In my opinion, we will see him lace them up in two weeks.
Alphas gonna alpha.Obviously, none of us like to see this stuff happening between Carter and Cael
It's like clockwork. Sun rises in the east. Snow in PA in March. Daylight savings time. Post season wrestling is here.I know this is tongue in cheek, however, you haven’t been to GIA lately!!!! They are about to send the Brands brothers down the river!!! 😂😂
