I'd like to point out that Illinois RTC has two world team members and Iowa has zero.
Marsteller's Double Overs at the edge to catapult him onto the World Team.
Salty Iowa fan on Facebook:
“Gilman the snake saying how much better penn state is then iowa lol other then the world title he has gotten worse at penn state”
“Gilman the snake saying how much better penn state is then iowa lol other then the world title he has gotten worse at penn state”
i don’t think they got that call right in the end. you can’t get planted on your back for a second then kick a guy through without giving up points. in the middle, that’s probably 4+2. on the edge just 4 burroughs. incredible effort by marsteller to make it close by keeping his feet in.
BUT 4 burroughs wouldn’t have been correct either. Ironically, the correct call would have been caution + 1 for chance because JB had a full fist of singlet in the back.
glad chance won. he was the better wrestler today and ultimately was rewarded.

"Other than the world title" 🤣🤣🤣
Perhaps an unpopular position :
Nolf probably my favorite PSU wrestler of all-time but can’t help but be disappointed with that effort.
I know Dake is an all-time great, but you’ve trained for over a year, just for him, and you’re gonna lose 2 straight without even scoring a point? Rather you get tech’d going for it — just do something.

So, one
To beat Dake (and this is a massive oversimplification, of an incredibly difficult thing to do) you have to take it to him and put him back on his heels. See: Olympic QF. Nolf got in on one shot, and then got stuffed for 2 and 2.
Agreed. I wrote something similar over on Intermat. Nolf is never going to beat Kyle Dake in a low scoring match. That plays into Dake's strengths and allows him to play defense and hold center. Which will, in turn, get Nolf put on the clock.

I am really happy for the kid. Overcoming his addiction to reach his goal is a noteworthy achievement; especially at this level.
Actually, at the arena where the crowd is 80% Yianni. The replay they showed on the Jumbotron clearly showed exposure. Most of the Yianni fans agreed.
This is his THIRD straight win over YD. They can now quit saying that the first win was a "fluke."
I clearly felt Nolf's tension in his Flo interview over Dake coming to NLWC. And, Nolf is not one to generally show a lot of emotion.

Unbelievable how Chance kept both feet in for that throw. When you run it in slow motion you think there is no way Chance can avoid stepping out.

Hello Mr Nolf. Welcome to David Taylor's old world.
Yep. in his most recent Flo interview, he said he had "grown" and felt it a struggle to get to weight.
Nolf is my all time favorite as well. Given the prep I was suprised by the result in terms of growth & closing the gap vs their last meeting.
Having had some time to reflect, we should give credit where credit is due. Dake is a unicorn who is not only a world champion, but he is arguably still in his prime and getting younger every year. Right now he remains the very best in the world and one of USA's best ever.
Nolf has time to prepare a little differently for the Olympic trials. Nolf's time will come, just not this weekend.

From a recent post of mine: Recent Flo interview with Aaron regarding his upcoming matches against David. His talk about his weight caught my attention. He mentioned his walking around weight is in the 203 range and how he will never wrestle 184 again. He said he has grown a lot lately. For all the talk of how, relatively speaking, Penn State wrestlers cut less weight than others, I am still surprised how much weight many wrestlers still cut. I did not realize Aaron cut that much. I definitely noticed more muscle on Aaron this year.
Haha no worries man. You called me out for calling people idiots a while back. I mean no offense to you.
Nolf doesn't have to like it. The goal of the NLWC is to be the best wrestling club in the world. It is to be the best place to train for wrestling in the world. To accomplish that goal, it cannot turn down a talent like Dake. Dake also brings a lot to NLWC, he is a brilliant technician and tactician, holds his space, and has a lot of unique training modalities. NLWC can learn from Dake and incorporate some it with their existing philosophies.
Don't know why it was needed, the coverage from Flo was outstanding.
Ozark, no weddings April 19 -20, 2024!
Other than a World Title, he has gotten worse. How does someone actually rationalize saying something like this?
I don’t (yet) understand all the rules in freestyle (I must not be trying hard enough 
) but read this take on Chance’s four:

JB also had a nice hold of the singlet that wasn't called
I believed his minimal match schedule last year was due to that weight cut.
Would love too see Yaz/Brooks, I feel we just saw 2 of the top 3 guys in the World at 86.
DT‘s win was huge for him, now (sensibly assuming he medals at worlds) he will sit in finals of an ”all in one day” OTT.
I get it that its nice too have everything in one day but I think it we are robbing ourselves of a fresh DT vs a fresh AB best of 3 WAR next April.
