Black Knight Invitational
- Thread starter rmg78
- Start date
I’m out. Guys looked great. Max looked like a damned beast! He better get that cool outstanding wrestler helmet!
Wait, now Max has fallen?! Please tell me he was able to get up without help or having to press a red button pinned to his singlet.
So HM Facundo was crowned king of the BNI after all. @GogglesPaizano got one right (mostly).
Does anybody know if Levi wiped out Bearclaw's RT point?
Who knows. We will find out right after Carton - Pletcher.
5-champions, 3 seconds, 2 thirds and a 5th not bad without 3 national Champs and an all American.
Haines wiped out Bearclaw's RT point and then got an RT point of his own, all in 28 seconds.
What did we learn today?
Steen is a fringe NQ level wrestler. Tough to say he’ll qualify with the Big Ten as good as it is, but he’s probably around 30-40 if I had to guess.
Evans is for real. He was in deep a couple times on Beau. Two good options there. They wrestled a great match. Great scrambles.
SVN is looking like an AA level guy this year. Great win with so little college experience over #14.
Haines and Barraclough are very close at this point and both NQ level. Is it too close to pull Haines’ redshirt?
Facundo shows good activity and prob needs to finish a bit more cleanly to be a AA.
165 has great depth. Nice tourney by Matt Lee.
Ball continues to impress with a 3rd place finish after giving a ranked wrestler a great match.
Dean is the same guy we thought he was.
Cochran looked tough when I saw him wrestle too, but I see he withdrew in the consis.

I rewatched it. Reversal with about 30 secs to go and subsequent rideout erased it. Flo called it right. I just missed it completely.
I edited the PBP. It’s right now.
I think everyone missed the point that jefe was being sarcastic lol
Or depending how you look at it they were 2 for 5
But a nice guy to talk to. Met him outside after his semi final match, running some wind sprints to cool down.
You guys can troll me for this fact...LOL.
Speak for yourself, Mr White Claw needs a taste-bud transplant🤮
Wonder for the 141 and 157 matches, did familiarity lead to the close and scores or are the guys close in talent and progression at this point. Not sure how to read into these.
Other than that, great win by SVN against a ranked opponent.
Dean was Dean. Probably did need to be at that tournament other than to get some work in this weekend.
Facundo sounded very active and impressive. Good showing for a guy who has a defense first reputation.
Backups had a nice showing as well.

Haines beat the #28 and #29 ranked wrestlers, Lukez and Nation, before beating #31 Barraclaugh. I don’t think it is room familiarity. They are just close at this point with Levi having more upside. He won this wrestle off. Turn him loose on Dec 2!
Ski covered 157.
Beau and Evans let it fly and with some of Evans’ wins, I have to think it is that close too.
Not your fault - shit happens.
You were trying to help those of us with no subscription - appreciate that.
I’m sure others can do better than me, but he’s over-achieving since arriving at PSU. I think he’s now beaten 3, maybe 4 NQs between his redshirt freshman year last year and this year. He wrestles an aggressive style too. Fun to watch.
He’s beaten the following wrestlers who have been NQs at some point: Rooks, Flores, Koderhandt, LaJoie.

Not sure what this year holds, but he’ll be another elite one once Taylor and Ruth graduate.
Yes yes yes. I think I know what’s happening. When Max gets on top, he transforms into Dax Mean…a brutalizing alter ego of one of the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet.
Could be a menacing superhero character in the Marvel franchise.
He had a really good Senior season in HS. Finished 4th but lost to Crookham and Arrington. He wrestled one of my guys twice that year, solid kid and he mopped the floor with him. He really jumped levels from jr to Sr year and looks like he is still on that upward trajectory.
