Maybe he'll understand that no one robbed him this time. Maybe he's just injury prone.

Kuhn did not achieve Bronze Standard. He cannot receive an at large bid.

Suriano can help us more by beating Tomasello at nationals. Of course, that would require a lot of people here to lick their wounds, swallow their pride, and stop spiting him for an entire weekend.

El Jefe... I don't see that remotely happening.
 
I hope Suriano tools Tomasello and Lee. Rutgers doesn’t matter and we don’t have a 125 until next year.

Agree.

That, plus a healthy Nolf repeating as champion, are the two possible major differences favoring PSU at Nationals.

We can do it,......if it helps us out!
 
I'm definitely rooting for Suriano vs Tomasello at natty's. I'm rooting for anyone vs Tomasello. Thing is, I don't even dislike Tomasello, he's a great talent and seems like a good human, outside of that scarlet and gray singlet he insists on wearing.
 
I like Tomasello, but ...

I hope Suriano tools Tomasello and Lee. Rutgers doesn’t matter and we don’t have a 125 until next year.
I don’t see him facing Lee at nationals unless it’s on the backside. I think Lee ends up on the top side of the bracket which would put him on the same side as Cruz who I think gets the 1 seed. Even though he’s been keeping it close with guys you wouldn’t expect him to I think Cruz has the style to beat lee. doesn’t look like Suriano is 100% but according to Kyle Snyder neither is NaTo. That match is a toss up to me regardless.
 
No freaking way Cruz beats Lee!!! We will have to wait til the seeds come out but my guess is 1-Cruz. 2- Nato. 3- Lee 4-Suriano. Cruz is not beating any of those three.

Lee is my pick to be champ. Suriano is a big question mark. Cruz has too many close matches and will get out muscled by the guys I mentioned. Lee definitely should have beating Nato but made a few mistakes. He made a huge jump from their first match in the dual. I don’t see anyone beating him come NCAAs.

I tend to agree with much of this. I picked NaTo to win B1Gs but, barring illness or injury, I don’t see him beating Lee ever again. Lee’s progression seems to be on an upward trajectory that the others aren’t. He’s kind of like Neo from the Matrix — just starting to understand who he is and what he’s capable of doing. Suriano is like Agent Smith — disgruntled, domineering, and fierce, but ultimately not “The One.” NaTo is like Morpheus — a worthy elite commander from an earlier era. I haven’t seen enough of Cruz this year to have a strong opinion, but the couple of his matches I did see and the reporting of others convince me that he just wasn’t manufactured with all the new tech and firepower built into the 2018 Lee model. If Lee stays healthy, it’s easy to imagine a Zain-level of dominance from him over the next few years. I can imagine Suriano being the equivalent of Sorenson for him — able to beat everyone else but never quite able to bridge the gap to Lee.
 
Kuhn did not achieve Bronze Standard. He cannot receive an at large bid.

Suriano can help us more by beating Tomasello at nationals. Of course, that would require a lot of people here to lick their wounds, swallow their pride, and stop spiting him for an entire weekend.

I can do that for a weekend....but afterwards no promises
We can do it,......if it helps us out!
Yea at least for one weekend
 
I tend to agree with much of this. I picked NaTo to win B1Gs but, barring illness or injury, I don’t see him beating Lee ever again.

I expect Fix to go 133, but if he goes 125 he'll have a lot to say about this.
 
No freaking way Cruz beats Lee!!! We will have to wait til the seeds come out but my guess is 1-Cruz. 2- Nato. 3- Lee 4-Suriano. Cruz is not beating any of those three.

Lee is my pick to be champ. Suriano is a big question mark. Cruz has too many close matches and will get out muscled by the guys I mentioned. Lee definitely should have beating Nato but made a few mistakes. He made a huge jump from their first match in the dual. I don’t see anyone beating him come NCAAs.

Lee now has had two matches with NATO and has yet to take him down even once.

That said, I still think it's a complete tossup between those two. I'd throw Suriano in with them both if he were healthy. I do agree that Cruz will not win.

Right, so Fix could be like the lurking killer machines (in a non-evil way) that may or may not show up to destroy Neo’s world. ;)

P.S. In Texas, we have a friendly (mostly) rivalry with our Oklahoma neighbors to the north. We also tend to diminish the athletic prowess of anyone from the Sooner State. One of my friends from Oklahoma shared this nugget with me years ago: “What do an Oklahoma divorce and an Oklahoma tornado have in common? At the end of either you know someone’s losing a double wide.”

Yeah but the first match Lee definitely did not show any real offense against NATO. This match Lee was the one on Natos legs a few times and could have scored. What do you think will happen if they meet in NCAA’s? I bet Lee gets a TD. And we know Nato will not choose bottom. Plus Lee improved from there first match even though he lost this one. All Lee had to do was not give up that last TD. Nato will not improve. Lee will definitely improve and I am sure is going to be extra motivated for NCAA’s. Just my take.

Don’t forget Lee is in the best lightweight room in the world!!! :)

Ahh, man, this was such an awesome post......but then no Matrix character for Cruz & from there it spiraled into a wrestling comparison. So close to perfect...:p

If he was he would be undefeated.;)
 
Suriano didnt look very sharp in his one match.. Hope he is ready to go for the NCAAs.. Would love to see how he does vs Lee & NaTo

I’m with Chris. Toss-ups between those 3, NATO, Suriano and Lee, though I’m willing to place Cruz as close enough to be included.

Ha, never and always are words I don’t use regarding sports, at least the competition side of things. Saying “I will ALWAYS be a Cael fan” is ALWAYS ok. :)

Haha. Agreed. I initially deleted “ever” from my post for the same reason. I added it back in upon remembering that they will likely only meet one more time (at NCAAs) since NaTo is a senior. And my predictions are limited to folk style. Freestyle “always” seems more unpredictable to me. :p

Lee has wrestled Nato for 14 minutes and has yet to take him down, while hes been taken down twice

unless that changes he isnt going to beat him again IMO

Probably true, but Lee did get to the legs this time. Just has to finish next time. And if he does, he probably wins with that top game of his.
 
I'll add that i believe a healthy Suriano beats them both (Lee and Nato)

And that’s the fun thing about opinions — they never have to be right but it’s perfectly ok to throw them around as if they were. :)

Lee was in super deep on NaTo yet somehow didn't score. You can look at that in 1 of 2 ways that are completely opposite

I look at it as it gives him a lot of confidence going forward. Much improved over his first match with Nato at the dual where it was Nato on Lee's legs multiple times. From what i remember the one time Nato went OOB's and got a stalemate? The second time i remember Lee should have finished that TD but somehow he did not. Plus Lee seems to be better conditioned than in some of his dual matches he had. I am picking Lee to win it all. I just hope that Nato needs to go through Nick and Spencer, he has a better shot to lose to one of those two rather than Cruz who he will most likely beat.

Lee will get a TD next time. I loved his short recent interview he had after big tens. He was pissed you could tell he can not wait til NCAA's.
 
Wouldn't it be better to wrestle NATO on Friday night rather than Saturday night? No telling how big he will be Saturday night.

The way Nick looked Saturday--he isnt beating any top tier guys at Natty--maybe the 12 days will make the difference-- but he did not look good
 
Weigh-in rules are basically:
-- 2 hours or sooner on the 1st day
-- 1 hour or sooner on day 2, with a 1-pound weight allowance
-- 1 hour or sooner on day 3, with another 1-pound allowance (or a 2-pound allowance from scratch weight)

The Saturday Night thing is real, imo. The finalists weigh in 1 hour prior to he start of action Saturday Morning, then have all day to hydrate and eat. Those that cut the most get the most benefit, as they need to recover more from the cut, and the extra time allows them to do that.

Anyone that wrestles Friday Night, also wrestled Friday Morning, so the recovery time is less...that's the thinking behind getting a guy that cuts a lot Friday vs Saturday evenings.
 
... I haven’t seen enough of Cruz this year to have a strong opinion, but the couple of his matches I did see and the reporting of others convince me that he just wasn’t manufactured with all the new tech and firepower built into the 2018 Lee model ...
So Cruz must be Trinity. Makes sense.

I guess there’s no further reliable info on what’s ailing Suriano? I didn’t see him limping but his leg was taped up pretty good. I don’t suppose there’s any chance his dad went all Tonya Harding and had someone kneecap little Nick in a misguided attempt to punish the wrestling community for conspiring to deprive his son of 4 NCAA titles. ;)
