I have noticed it too.
My guess is some of it has to do with the 3pt takedown and being able to catch up with a three and not waste time working for the 1pt escape.
I think the top 3 guys at 141 are all in the big ten and this years dual season+big tens will be really fun to watch
Yep. The rules committee either wasn't bright enough, or knew exactly, that less mat wrestling, a staple of folkstyle, would take place due to the three point takedown.
May well be top four depending on how you feel about Hardy
Teemer would have probably had a better chance against Robb if he'd tried that.
PSU fans celebrated Martinez's first career loss because he would never match Cael's record. Yeah, that's it.
And henson gave up the escape point by choosing neutral in third and lost 4-3. No points scored in third.
ISU takes the team race. Earlier I said Bastida looked like a mid-low AA to me. Today I’ll update that to mid-high.
Bastida beat Davison 5-3 in the finals. Davison finished 6th and 5th at nationals, and Intermat has him 3rd. He also teched Navy's Greiss, ranked 10th.
So, yeah, he's looking like an upper podium guy.
I won't like someone breaking his college record.
I would not bother me if someone broke his record, as long as they are from PSU and preferably while Cael is the coach.
However, I don't see anyone having 159 matches in a career anytime soon. So, that record is safe.
I don't think any PSU fan would like someone breaking Cael's college record, but that doesn't mean they would root against someone who isn't even close to doing so. If someone ever gets close to the record, then maybe fans will root against that person, but nobody is rooting against a Freshman because they're worried that he could break Cael's record.
Do Dolphin fans root against teams that are 2-0 or 3-0, because they're afraid their record will be broken, or does that happen when a team is 10-0 or 12-0, when there is a realistic chance the record could actually be broken?
Mendez hasn’t proved it yet, but right now he looks the part. Of course, not much really matters until March.
It's not possible to break his record of zero loses. A tie is possible, and I'd root against a tie.
You mean the concussion he received, possibly at the end of the Andonian match? Or the one he definitely received in his last match?
I don’t think people make jokes about the French military or Ishtar because those things live rent free in people’s minds.
If he had multiple concussions and continued to wrestle, there needs to be serious sanctions against Cornell. Just saying.
I was very surprised that he was allowed to continue in his second loss. He was clearly impacted.
Sounds clearly irresponsible on the coaches’ part. Inexcusable.
Given that it all transpired off-camera, we don't know what happened, so we are just speculating.
Either:
1. He was concussed and the coaches/medical staff screwed up.
2. He wasn't concussed.
The speculation doesn't really help Cornell either way.
It's possible he hit heads with Andonian and they both got concussions. That would explain Ed Scott majoring Andonian too.
Was Andonian concussed when Scott pinned him last year?
That’s nothing, don’t you know that Spencer Lee wrestled last year with a double concussion, no ACL’s, the flu and bad coaching?
Concision protocols are cut and dry. Suggesting they allowed kids to continue wrestling with a concussion is akin to accusing coaches and trainers of incompetence.
I'm not buying it. CKLV is not the hill you want to die on.

Wow, at least Spencer was able to avoid the long bus ride and average officials.😉
He didn't "gas," he received what appeared to be a concussion (possibly at the end of the Andonian match, definitely at the beginning of his second loss).
So, were you the MD on site to say he "definitely" received a concussion. Your opinion is still simple speculation. Maybe he is just not the second coming of Cael and took a few early season losses in his true freshman year like 99% of wrestlers do.
If concussed he shouldn’t have been wrestling. If he was not concussed yet healthy enough to wrestle, no excuses - he either gassed or just got beat or both.
He gassed for sure. Concussion sysmtoms would have taken him out of the competition for sure. Big difference, lungs vs dizziness.
