Noteworthy Results & Goldfish Games: Feb 3-6

[mcpat]

Ybarra, a 3rd stringer forced into action as a freshman and wrestling his 5th Division 1 opponent in his brief career, lost 4-0 to returning All-American and 7th ranked Barnett and they’re killing him on HR. He was close to scoring on a couple of occasions too. I thought he looked great; entirely different wrestler than I saw last Friday.

Ramirez was gassed hard, clearly not used to wrestling right away.

Not the case: he hasn't recovered from his near-concussion last week.

 

[El-Jefe]

Not the case: he hasn't recovered from his near-concussion last week.

Then why is he out there?

 

[NothingMeaningful]

Top wrestler in standing position has both feet leave the ground on a backtrip for mat return.

In Jadwin, the replay seemed to show that wasn't the case. He seemed grounded.

 

[NothingMeaningful]

Then why is he out there?

Because they didn't know how he'd do in a live match (so said Cornell's AD to me after his match). Now they know, and likely won't see him tomorrow for the Penn and Drexel matches.

 

[mcpat]

They called Hamiti for the stall backing out in 1st and not Marinelli for doing it much more flagrantly in 2nd. Anyone else see that?

 

[mcpat]

A very game Hamiti takes his first loss to Marinelli. 7-5

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Hamiti has some funk.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

Bull won but I won't be shocked if Hamiti beats him next month. The youngster is very good.

Interesting way to make a medical evaluation- trial by fire.

 

[Grass]

First time watching Hamiti. He got sloppy a few times, but you can tell he is going to be problems for a lot of guys come tourney time.

 

[El-Jefe]

Though rather passive offensively, Lance hung in surprising well against Parris on Friday (2/4), losing only 4-1. And the second TD by Parris came very late; the bout score was close the whole way.

I had figured that Parris would dominate, but no.

Kerk beat Lance 10-2 last year, and we know Kerk wasn't nearly himself at the time.

The Bull is the master at getting the Sumo push out stall calls. He never is making an offensive attempt. He pushes off the shoulders to force his opponent out and gets the stall call every time.
That is the reason a push out rule in folk would suck. It is 80% of the neutral offense we would be forced to watch.

Ditto. The first TD in particular that he gave up looked like a freshman against a seasoned vet. But I saw a big gas tank, no quit, a lot of funk and length to cause problems.

In the second, Hamiti shot from distance while they were at the edge and Marinelli sprawled and just backed out of bounds while Hamiti advanced. That’s stalling every time. And it was flagrant.

No call.

 

[El-Jefe]

And Vince Turk shows us the Iowa style at the end of his last Carver match. Gomez responds with a “let’s go MF” and gets away with it.

If you can't beat 'em, club 'em.

I never saw it, I just explained to him what it was.

Edit - you would have to see video to know for sure.

80% seems high. I think Bull is the exception—what he does isn’t easy—it’s his special talent.

Maybe Ybarra isn't as bad as some wanted to make him out to be. He was a pretty heralded recruit who has been in the room for a year (and trains with RBY in the offseason) He lost to 3 guys who are in contention to AA at 125 and then a 133.

It's not remotely close to 80% of the neutral offense in freestyle.

 

[slushhead]

No knee wrap for Warner today — rather than injuring him with an illegal application of the B&A, I guess Dean fixed him up.

 

[KCLion]

Gibbons “if you are going to get better, you have to keep getting better”

I'll edit that. 80% of Iowa offense in neutral.

Hamiti does remind me a bit of a young David Taylor. Someone else said that, can't remember who?

 

[nitlion6]

Watching Iowa the last two weekends… I’ve seen quite a bit of shoving after the whistle

Iowa calls that tough wrestling

 

[PD4thespawn]

Hamiti has some funk.

Funky bunky, what oh wait

Match is at Carver, and we all know in McCarverland only non Iowa guys stall.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Maybe I’m just missing his posts but has anyone heard from JS lately? Kinda worried about him. Thinking he and his family had COVID issues recently.

 

[mcpat]

Murin Duck! Duck! Duck!

I know you’re kidding. But never a bad thing to let the senior room wrestler get a match on senior night in a dual you know you’re winning regardless.

Ok. Goes to show how much I pay attention. Well regardless, hope all is well with both of them.

Ok good. Glad all is well. Now get those issues fixed. I have balls I need to be bustin’…. Lol

 

[El-Jefe]

Holy Sh*t

Much worse than I originally thought: Erisman challenged the takedown -- and the ref not only upheld the call, he docked also Little Rock a team point for the protest.

This just adds to Roar's point about not letting refs review their own calls.

Atrocious.

 

[GantryZ]

Someone is filming this WV vs UNI dual on Flo with a potato camera from 20 years ago.

 

[danoftw]

I'll edit that. 80% of Iowa offense in neutral.

While the fans yell,”Passsssssssive!”

Teasdale won his mma match.

Teasdale won his mma match.

From the pre-fight pics, it looked like he was a full foot shorter than his opponent.
