2024 Sr World Team Trials, Sept 14-15
- Thread starter wrestlingfan22
- Start date
How much stock do y’all put in Byers’ perspective on lineup speculation? I have wondered how much access and inside intel he has to the internal team workings (I assume it’s quite a bit). He does appear to choose his words pretty carefully when talking about such things, which I have interpreted as him protecting state secrets and/or not wanting to jeopardize his access.
Anyway, FWIW, he seems to be in the Levi is going to redshirt camp in this clip:
Is there any way to find out Levi's actual weigh in weight today? Did he come in at a full 79kg or a little bit under? It'll be interesting to see how he physically looks.

Blaze vs Gross in 2nd round. Winner gets Nashon
On the bottom we get Jax vs Desanto second round. Winner gets Fix. I want to see if Jax can get his throw by on Desanto. Desanto moves forward so hard it seems like he will walk right into it

Mirasola vs Sinclair first round. That sucks. They are so familiar with each other being teammates and all. Sinclair did win the last actual match between them
Carr vs O'Toole in the Quarters.
Levi draws JB2nd round. in the quarters. Bet he gets the brunt of the Nebraska faithful's ire.
Levi draws JB

I went back and watched Burroughs vs Dake at Nebraska and there was a ton of booing of Dake.
I get so sick and tired of the self-righteous claiming their morally superior fans don’t boo. Fans boo. Every fanbase does. Especially boorish behavior like fixing socks for a minute at every whistle.

Yeah…what an intimidating environment!!! Sheesh
Burroughs will leave his shoes on this middle school mat after a PA boy takes him out!
smalls would absolutely chime in and tell them all to be better.

Andonian remains must-see. What a great comeback vs Ian Parker.
Paniro was also in a great match vs Bergeland.

He's so fun to watch. May never get to the top because he leaves himself so open to points, but he's got the skill.
79kg R16 - #7 Levi Haines VS #10 Joey Bianchi (Arkansas RTC)
P1:
Levi looking much bigger. I wonder what he weighted in at? He looks taller, to me, too & looks well sized for the weight class. He also looks like he could add more weight comfortably, or his frame could handle it.

P2:
Back at it & tying up. Levi shoots in on a single, Bianchi fights out of it. Levi keeps driving forward & gets another step out, 6-0, restart. Tying up, Bianchi drops in on a leg, Levi trying to fight it off & Bianchi takes Levi out of bounds, 6-1, restart, 2:11 left. Tying up again. Levi pushing forward a little, Bianchi shoots, nothing. Levi drops in on a double, lifts Bianchi off the mat & takes him back down for 2 more, adding an exposure too, 10-1. Levi keeps working & picks up the FALL!

can't believe you people are questioning Caes decisions are you all crazy?
Levi has the strongest back of any wrestler I’ve ever watched. He’s constantly in a position where he’s pulling legs in and coming up using just his back.

Oooooooof.What happens when Connor beats him?
Will he leave his shoes on the mat?
Hot Take of the Week.
I'm not worried about Connor, but maybe he should take the RS this year. We don't need his points, and Barr/Cochran can hold down the weight. Get him a key dual or two, and bring him out next year.
Aaaaand PD3 goes from leading 6-2 in the 2nd to falling apart per his elite cardio prep.
Gives up 2 turns & gets body slammed for 4 in between desperately trying to grab oxygen.
Leading 6-2 to getting tech'd 16-6 in about 30 seconds of action.

Pat Downey was up 6-2 in the 2nd. Then the Natty Light and cigars kicked it.....gassed out and got teched 16-6 by Max Hale. Refused to take ref's hand and just walked off. Coach handed him a Natty Light and cigar. ( pretty certain )

You have to wonder what goes on in his head that he keeps showing up to these things. Does he think he has a chance to make the team? Does he just love competing (training - not so much)? Is it like a high school class reunion for him and gets to see his old friends?Pat Downey was up 6-2 in the 2nd.
