2024 NCAA's - Match/discussion threads (merged)

197 has to be last. There's no team drama other than possibly the record.

Plus ESPN is always about individual star power.

And depending on how things shake out, 4x Aaron might clinch the record.
I can just imagine it. Brooks needs a MD to clinch the record and Hidlay dances around the edge for 7 minutes and is content to take a 4-1 loss.

The immediate plan for Kasak (in 2024-25) is likely a redshirt. That's assuming SVN makes a full recovery and can stay healthy, which I sure hope will be the case
Maybe. Do you have inside info?
Are you assuming Beau returns (not a given), and Kasak can't get back to his regular weight?
 
I'm guessing Beau comes back but if not, maybe he can make 141.

FWIW, Byers said at least 2 or 3 times on the broadcast yesterday and today that Beau is definitely coming back.

These Hidlay boys are class. Would have been great to see them in Blue and White.

Instead, we've had to settle for seeing them in black and blue. 😜

Schultz has dangerous throws. No reason to risk anything.

Schultz's face while getting stifled at every turn by Kerk reminded me of Brock Hardy's face when he sat there stuck in that spladle for 10 minutes. They both had that "well damn, I don't even get to try my moves" look. 😂

Yes, I have inside info from Jeff Byers, who has stated that Bartlett intends to return next season.
I assume (don't know) that the plan next season is for 149 to be manned by SVN (the starter, before he got hurt).
I know that Kasak has a redshirt available, whereas SVN does not.
I assume (don't know) that Kasak could get back down to 141, if needed. However, other opinions about Kasak.
  • Not convinced that 141 is Kasak's "regular" weight. I think he was at 141 because SVN could be at 149 for three more seasons, and there is a greater team need at 141.
  • I think Kasak most natural and best weight is 149.

FYI - Ayala is at 125. But I get your primary point.
 
KASAK!!! AA!!

Allirez is the kind of guy who might make Beau think it might not be worth coming back.
After listening to the Allirez interview on clash of combat, I think there’s a much better chance Bartlett returns to folkstyle than Allirez returns to folkstyle. He didn’t completely rule out coming back for his last year of eligibility but he said he accomplished all of his folkstyle goals and he’s focused on his freestyle goals before he goes to MMA.

Next year is not an Olympic year. Plus, it’s highly unlikely Nagao would qualify for an Olympic redshirt.

He is using a year of eligibility in 2025 unless he has a season ending injury.
Well then Aaron has 8 months to get it down.
 
Under Cael, over 14 tournaments, PSU is now 57-8 in the semifinals! They have gone 34-17 in the finals with 6 through for tonight.

They have already set their all time team scoring record at 148 pts and need 23 today to eclipse the all time record!
