Bo Nickal with the TF and a buzz cut

[TheButcher2]

Yes, he utilized the good ol anklepick!

Steinhaus has at least 15 pounds on him

Did Bo mistakenly register in the wrong weight class?

I suppose he could have cut 17 pounds to 76KG, but I don't really see the point. It is what it is. Steinhaus is walking around over 200 right now and Bo is 185. Steinhaus won't be wrestling for 3rd, and Bo will be....

No, he was looking for someone to give him a challenge.

LemonPie perhaps you should acknowledge that McKee wrestled Folkstyle nationals all day yesterday and then today he is competing in both styles and his matches have had very little time between them.

You and Jammen are two peas in a pod.

 

[LemonPie]

Haha. I've actually been quite impressed with him over the years. Had some nice things to say after his win over Brent Moore. Obviously, Thorn will be fine, too. Calm down.

 

[GOLDBANGER]

Rasheed will be at 184 next year....Already much bigger then Bo right now...Hitting the weights hard...190-192

Isn't he transferring to Rutgers?

Sounds like a personal choice. More likely, Mitch just wants the mat time. Kind of surprised he lost to Shie.

He meant for Rutgers. Our entire starting lineup is headed to Rutgers.

Missed the first part of the Mark Hall match. How did he get down 8-0? Nice comeback. Looked a little tired, but scoring 16 straight points might do that to you. Martinez is a tough wrestler.

It was two four point Rusian tie throws. I saw hit the same move a few times
in his other matches today.

Maybe wrestling up also gives him and the coaches a sense for what that would feel like? Just thinking out loud.

 

[grappler6]

Was meant more as an acknowledgment towards his marathon day. Kudos for putting it on the line.

Haven't had a chance to watch any of the matches yet. Sounds like plenty of good ones throughout the day.

Why didn't Macintosh try for the last chance qualifier? Or Nolf for that matter.

If Bo is ever going to wrestle in the Olympics it will have to be at 86 kgs. He has 4 more years to grow into the weight, but for the time being it's good experience to wrestle those guys.

I spent the day in good old Cedar Falls and really enjoyed the wrestling. Bo absolutely looked small (which he was) for the weight. He is fun to watch in any style. Hall won but didn't wrestle as well as he can (sounds dumb just typing that). I realize he is up against great/older competition, but he has another gear he really only showed in one scramble. I have no idea what his upside is...but it is HIGH. He finds ways to win even when a match isn't going his way- a little like Kyle Dake dare I say. Hall also looked small compared to Valencia. Valencia looks like a big 174 to my eyes, and Hall looks like a small 174 or good sized 165 at this point.
The high school kid that really caught my eye ( besides Hall) was Demmison from CA. in the 138 bracket. Very smooth and athletic. I have no idea who is recruiting him, but he looks to have quite an upside with great quickness.
