Don't forget, Levi is pretty green in freestyle as well. It showed a bit at trials against Facundo and now he's up another weight.

So Duke beat Jacques, Jacques beat Cardenas, Cardenas beat Shapiro so that means Duke should kill Shapiro right?!
What a great set of challenger semis coming up at 79kg:
79 Chance Marsteller (NJRTC/ TMWC) VPO Hunter Garvin (California RTC), 7-0
79 Keegan O'toole (Tiger Style WC/ TMWC) VPO1 David Carr (Cyclone RTC/ TMWC), 9-4
79 Alex Dieringer (CKWC/ TMWC) VPO1 Evan Wick (SoCal RTC/ TMWC), 7-1

79 Jordan Burroughs (Pennsylvania RTC) VPO1 Levi Haines (Nittany Lion Wrestling Club), 4-1
Marstellar v O'Toole and Dieringer v Burroughs
I think Marstellar beats Burroughs again to advance to the finals. Any other thoughts?
If I could go back in time and change something that impacted my present, would I remember the original timeline?
of course not. This isn't Back to the Future. This is the Marvel Universe. Didn't Dr Banner teach you nuttin?.
He was 95lbs in 2016.
This one didn't turn out well for Pyles' take. He seemed to be a little irritated that PJ was seeded higher than Jacques and didn't seem to give PJ any chance. See 2:23 of the video:

I wouldn't say Pyles was irritated. He said he didn't understand how Duke was seeded higher than Jacques, which is a reasonable comment. Pyles also predicted Duke to get beat early on, so he was wrong about that. But no big deal.This one didn't turn out well for Pyles' take. He seemed to be a little irritated that PJ was seeded higher than Jacques and didn't seem to give PJ any chance. See 2:23 of the video:

We might need to get Blaze…
We can’t let him get his offense neutered by a staff trying to win boring folk matches.

Save Blaze from the others. I like your thinking. 🤣
What a ****ing performance from Blaze! Nashon had nothing for him. Blaze is going to look so good in a PSU singlet
Blaze is probably the most must get croot in a long time and it almost feels like he isn't getting enough attention.
I wonder if Oklahoma State’s Thomas Gilman got a pedicure before deciding to wear his wife’s sandals today.
He's the perfect Cael recruit doesn't need a ton of flash does his talking on the mat
I tweeted about DeSanto’s hair and a couple minutes later, Pyles mentions it on-stream…
Seems like he's been countering for years
Say what you want about ADS, he had arguably the greatest high school win in PA state championship history.
I’m such a DT fan that I’m putting on 6 extra kilos in his honor today.

The whole Sanderson ankle pick thing has kinda morphed into it almost being a setup to a leg attack finish now, hasnt it? Been that way for a minute, but it’s more of a low ankle outside reach attack that they can knee pound into or follow the angle on. Am I hammered?
Mirasola has it down pretty damn well.

Give Duthie credit , he was gassed!! But he got up quick every time , didn't do any of this pulling up the socks crap
