Clarion Open

Apologies for the ignorance but is there any reason PSU isn't sending any rostered guys there unattached this year? Particularly, I was hoping to see our 125s there.

Let's recruit Jax.

Jax is slick with the scrambles. Always gotta be on your toes against him. Hes gonna be a beast. Just needs to get stronger by my eye.
He doesn't really have a go to attack in neutral besides the slideby which isn't very sustainable against top guys. Relies on flurries and scrambles to score points. He's going to have to fix that, but he's got time. You could have said similar things about Bassett being one dimensional, but he looks like he's taken some steps.

Also, likes to roll around a lot on bottom, I don't think that works at the next level. But then again there were a lot of things you wouldn't have thought worked for Taylor or Nolf at the next level.

He's probably going to be a middleweight. He's got big feet and his shoulders aren't narrow. He could use a lot of time with Casey.

Possibly the new rule where a MFF withdrawal counts as a loss. These are huge brackets with all the HS kids, and I can see not wanting to stick around for all of it.

Could've said the same thing about Lord Spencer in HS, at least in folk. Of course he had leg attacks, but you'd never know it from his matches in Hershey.

Wow!! Blaze beats Ramos!! What a match. That scramble in OT was something else. Blaze is so damn good for a high schooler. I hope he goes to Purdue since I don’t think he’s coming to PSU. Just not tOSU please
 
Not to take anything away from Blaze, who is an outstanding prospect, but the worst thing about this is that I now have to listen to FLO slobber all about this for the next week.

When, really, the headline is that the 125 lb class is just mediocre and/or filled with guys not much older than Blaze. As it has been for years. When you get all wow'd about Lord Spencer's "domination" - in reality a lower bonus percentage than a few wrestlers in the last decade - be sure to include that in your perspective.
 
Blaze loses 6-4 to Palmer. Palmer had almost 3 minutes of riding time

Bassett beats Santaniello 13-10. His pace is a real weapon. Was down 8-2 and just kept coming. He seems to have really improved these last few months
 
125 a crapshoot this year. I give a healthy Howard just as good as shot as anyone in this field.

How was Bouzakis ranked 8th? He was on redshirt last year and the only time I saw him wrestle he got mauled by kid from Virginia Tech
