Cool news from Buckeyeland - wrestle offs
- Thread starter Chickenman Testa
- Start date
Very cool indeed. Kudos to Tan Tom.
Hayes not listed ... injured? Based on the lineup projection from those matchups, gotta think he'll be at 157 again this year.
Cael will release court room drawings on a 6hr time delay of psu wrestle offs.
Did Pletcher move up to make room for Decatur? Did not look big at 133. Maybe he has been living at the curl bar but doesn't seem like a move that will benefit his podium placement.
tOSU had stated earlier that Hayes will wrestle in the Michigan State Open (Nov 2) at 149 (presumably along with Sasso). He has already certified at 149, so challenging at 141 does not seem out of the question, but if Pletcher stays there, maybe going up to 157 again makes more sense. Mattox and Cleary may have something to say about that, however.
I clicked that link and went to the OSU site and felt kinda dirty as it loaded. But I did feel like I could squat a house, so there's that!!!
This bucknut lineup fascinates me, mostly because they have soo many young talents who I have never seen wrestle, but whose names I've been reading in recruiting cycles for so long. Caught some great glimpses of Sasso at Midlands last year, but the Decatur boys, Kinner, Karchla & Rocky Jordan I've never seen! Haven't seen Hoffman since WNO vs Beard. I gotta get my eyes on these lads, cuz we know Tan Tom is comin for us with them.
This is the first I've cared about Baseball this late into October (GO NATS!!!!), but that schedule even works out for me to watch on Thursday night. What kind of sports fan am I becoming in my old age that I'll be spending an October Thursday watching Buckeye *preseason wrestling and being glad that the freakin World Series has an off day? Oy to the vey!

Pletcher was cutting a bunch to make 141. If this were a TanTom decision, Pletcher would be at 133, and Hayes at 141.
Hayes won't be challenging Pletcher ever. If Decatur falters, Pletcher might make the decision to go down and allow Hayes to go 141. If Hayes doesn't win the 149 spot, he does own a tournament win over Cleary. TanTom does have a soft spot for Hayes, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
speaking of the buckeyes----one must wonder if Kerkvliet will follow MR. Snyder---
it is my understanding, that the deciding factor to going to OSU or PSU was Snyder as a workout partner.

I am sure he is pretty bummed. It would cost him a year of eligibility unless of course he could get the phone number of Surriano's attorney. Argue bait and switch.
Teasdale left 3 months later than this and retained all 5 years.
The about-face on GT on HR is quite amusing.
What I learned from the link @slushhead provided: if you post something on HR that was once accepted as fact there, but no longer is due to a wrestler now being a Hawk, then you will get gay-baited.
Crablegs is storming the battlements over there - he’s quite a warrior
Meant to say earlier: the Teasdale about face on HR is in slow-motion compared to the Downey about face.
Fickle, fair-weathered, singlet color -- Iowa doesn't have a monopoly on about-face fan behavior. It's every fan-base, though on HR it's an art form.
Nice punctuation in that post: give that man a blue ribbon!
When he withdrew from school last fall, PSU announced he would retain all 5 years unless he competed in the spring, which he didn't do.
Take this with a grain of salt as it is coming from Flo, but in frl this morning they all seem to believe that last year was being considered Teasdale's red shirt year and that he only has his 4 competition years left.
He's listed as a redshirt freshman on the roster and the FRL guys talked about it this morning. It's also been said by a few that he's not eligible to wrestle attached first semester.
Now, it could be a situation like Kemerer who is listed as a Senior because he doesn't officially have a 6th year yet. So maybe he just has to wait to apply in 4 years for his last year.
I would think his eligibility clock started once he enrolled as a fulltime student at PSU, has 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility.
Is that an established fact or merely supposition (albeit reasonable)? Just curious.speaking of the buckeyes----one must wonder if Kerkvliet will follow MR. Snyder---

No concrete fact here--rumor for the most part, because, I didn't actually hear it from Kerkvliet himself, but heard it from someone close to program
The same source reported that Kerkvliet was beating Snyder in the room!

Take this for anything it’s worth (not much) but the rumor I had heard was that Snyder was in Kerk’s ear after he had committed to OK State and did a fair share of the recruiting, personally.
A separate, more credible source mentioned the day that he decommitted that he was near certain that he was tOSU’s to lose.
was an interesting day to be in Ohio, that’s for sure.

Much better since then. For those that care, so far Heinselman won, Decatur won and right now Pletcher winning 6-3 with minute left Pletcher over Kinner
Sasso with a major. Don’t really know the losers other than Kinner
Cleary vs Mattox like watching paint dry. No takedowns thru 3 periods. Maybe 2 shots all match between both guys.
now in overtime..now double overtime ugh let it end..Cleary with reversal and then rides Mattox out for win
I assume Hayes will be at this weight when season starts

Karchla vs Smith. Interested in this one..
Smith a good sized 165. Noticeably bigger. 2-1 Karchla after 1. I felt Smith had takedown early in first but they didn’t give it to him at the edge
2-2 after 2. Both guys shooting but neither can finish
Karchla wins 3-2. Smith in on a bunch of shots. Karchla has excellent defense
