Black Knight Invitational 11/19 on Flo
- Thread starter pish69
- Start date
Why not tell us who and why he is disliked? WrestlPSU is a total tool that used to post on themat.com. I can get behind that :0)
Yeah I'm over her saying to myself. Self who the **** is he talking about lmfao
I’m thinking he goes top 10 Intermat and 25 with Flo. But who the heck knows. If he would have knocked off Fish, I think definetly top 10 Intermat. Not sure how they’ll do it (personally I’d give him credit for beating the guy that beat the guy)
I can’t stand Flo rankings and generally jive with Intermat. Earl knows his shit
Intermat had him 17 last week and Flo he was unranked. He pinned Flos 27 and techd Flos 22 but they won’t give any credit for Fish whereas Earl usually has some common sense

I agree. Rutgers is a formidable force that boasts perennial 10 BIG qualifiers and perennial top 10 in the BIG conference.
Loved what I saw from the freshman. Davis, Kasak, and Barr all performed a bit better than I expected. We just keep reloading and it’s pretty fun to see
I'd like to point something out also, Gary Steen is doing some of the best wrestling I have ever seen him do.
2 TFs last weekend
2 TFs and a major this weekend in addition to a 12-5 win
Once again, not beating world beaters but Gary has never been a "pile points on" kind of wrestler. That Army guy he majored beat both guys that beat Howard last weekend (including by major) so he's definitely not a guy I think Gary would have beaten last year let alone 14-4.
He clearly is better than where he was last year, maybe he was banged up, maybe he was motivated but this is a new Gary.
It's not likely Gary ever starts for PSU again in the postseason but nobody should ever question how bad the kid wants it. Braeden being bonus win level over him (especially with room familiarity) and Howard still being able to beat him is a very good sign. I feel good about 125 room overall this year.
With how volatile 125 is this year, who knows what can happen if we send a guy to NCAAs.

You are indeed correct. But I saw more action from him today than I saw from Mitch Moore on Friday.
Because it doesn't make sense for someone in the media to say they don't like the media / communications director of the sport they are covering.
So far Moore got the headlock.. will be interesting to see how he fare against higher lvl competition
What do you have against Willie?
Don’t be surprised if fongaro takes the spot by the end of the year , Mitch Moore is the same do absolutely nothing front headlock guy he was 7 yrs ago when he was freshman and Fongaro has potential
Cassar came out of his layoff and basically majored Rocco Caywood also, who is no slouch. That gave me a lot less worry about the Hoffman match then yup, he immediately beats Mattiace.
Possibly. While I can't argue your assessment of Mitch Moore, Rutgers didn't bring him in to be a backup.
I could see Nagao up at 141 his last year.
It's great for the wrestlers to get some matches in, but, to be honest, the overall quality of competition is a little lacking. Probably good for the starters to stay home if they don't need the work. 125 needs to get some questions answered; Nagao is coming back from injury so needs to shake off the rust and Mesenbrink can use all the work he can get in folkstyle. Can't see much purpose in Bartlett wrestling in the Black Knight.
I agree the competition was lacking a bit, but it could have been much, much worse. It could have been the Luther Open!!! Seriously, what in Hell was Iowa thinking with that move???
Beau wanted to and loves competing. Cody wanted to give him the week off but Beau said he wanted to go..just listened from the horses mouth.
Over four matches Nagao gave up 1 escape point against 10 minutes of riding time. Was a bit surprised when the Rutgers kid (who looked like the toughest opponent Nagao faced despite getting tech'd) took bottom in the second. Can't imagine too many will make that mistake this year.
Well if the 125 guys don't improve on bottom after rolling with nageo then they probably won't. Imagine what practice is like.
Devon Britton. Northampton kid, tough as nails. Not unexpected, he's seen he's share of killer riders in his day.
Flo brought him in at 23. Giving him no credit for beating the guy that beat Fish..just like I said the other day. No common sense.
Intermat will be out tomorrow..you’ll see a better more accurate ranking. Flos rankings always suck.
intermat had him #17 as of 11/14.
Not sure if he'll move up much -- he hasn't beaten anybody ranked ahead of him (yet), so a move up would be largely attrition. Fish lost (obviously) but was #9, might not drop that far for 1 loss. Too lazy to check if any others lost this week.
Here’s the million dollar question..
Will Intermat give him credit for beating the guy that beat Fish (previous 9)? Or just ignore it like Flo did?
I truly don’t know the answer but I think Intermat will move him up a few spots after Black Knight. I also liked the fact that Intermat used some common sense to have him at 17 in the first place (after they took out Facundo) where as Flo didn’t.
Braeden Davis vs Ethan Berginc(Army), during the Army Black Knight Invite, the entire 3rd period.
I like that kid. Didn't take any crap from Berginc. He has some stones!
