No shade to Exeter High but a great wrestling high school? No so sure about that Bo. The comparison to Apple Valley was a bit much. And the prediction of big points from ADS? Ended with zero.
Coralville Freestyle event - Feb 26
- Thread starter backdrft76
- Start date
I think Desanto could have been a 3 or 4 time champion at Penn State. His grip strength and pace are crazy, but he lacks technical scrambling ability that he didn’t get with Iowa coaching.
Does Goggles know this?
Gross is one of the best at scrambling. Austin couldn't get any type of clean finish and got exposed on the mat. Also, Austin looked very tired
It’s shocking that he went to Iowa and now wrestles mostly for pushouts.
Blaze beating Gross, Fix and Nashon is making me smile all over again.
Are Zain and Bo N cornering for Ono tonight? That's Iowa's Daddy and Step Daddy in one place!

I think DT has been good for Zahid. Conditioning doesn't appear to be an issue and he was moving forward the whole match. Just more disciplined.
But it was the same story versus RBY. He got to Roman’s leg about 457 times, but couldn’t finish a TD.
The real one to have is if ADS wound up at psu and RBY at Iowa. How do their careers go differently?

TnT would've had RBY wrestling with both arms behind his back.

rumor is Dake won’t be making 74kg again. Could go up as high as 86kg next time he competes
Christ. Will someone tell Christian Spencer lost.
Lee struggles to get to attacks against Higuchi and Ono in a way I have never seen from him before
One of those matchups where both guys are so deadly on counters that neither guy really initiates. Ono did what he needed though. Liked seeing our guys in his corner.
Their better athletes
Emperor Ono > Lord Spencer
I did not expect 0 takedowns in that match.
