Most notable to me is that Facundo won't be the guy at 157 this weekend. You'd think he would have held the weight in case of something like this. Sealey was brought up briefly but that ain't happening (even though he gets five dates and hasn't used any)

Most notable to me is that Facundo won't be the guy at 157 this weekend. You'd think he would have held the weight in case of something like this. Sealey was brought up briefly but that ain't happening (even though he gets five dates and hasn't used any)
I wonder if Facundo has told the coaching staff he's going to enter the portal.
My guess is Facundo will try to get a medical redshirt. It’s unlikely, but the NCAA hands them out like Halloween candy, so why not? Wrestling on Friday would eliminate his chances, so no reason to wrestle Facundo at this point.
Facundo will for sure get a medical and have 3 years remaining
That would have been a helluva hold. He was 180 post practice still in October and as lean as Levi.
I would guess it'll be Pierce. Evans hasn't wrestled at all, so I'm not sure what's up with him.
I'm sure Cael is going to do him a solid and play up the injury to spare him a year of eligibility for wherever he goes.
Ty went 4-1 at the Messiah Open last weekend at 157. MFF his last 2 matches to finish 6th
Evans had been able to make 141, and Pierce has done okay at 149. Would have thought Pierce, but Cael mentioning Evans seems like there may be a split. I almost felt like Cael is kinda relieved he can send somebody besides Tyler against Sammy, as weird as that sounds.
I don't really think it matters too much and Tyler will be fine for tournament time and he'll beat who he needs to beat, but seeding does matter and can help almost anyone (even someone who is the overwhelming favorite at a given weight). Had he been able to continue and beat Miller (I'm convinced he would have), it would have been a "good win" for him. I think the odds of Sasso beating him were probably next to nothing, but again, that would have been considered a "good win". Meh, as I said, he'll get it done at tournament time regardless of his seed.
Cannon got that start last week. He has a win over Chittum this year. Sammy and Cannon will hit an open to decide the spot . Sad watching Sammy compete at 50% I think in the future we see him back to top form in freestyle. He just didn't have the time to heal up enough before the college season. My guess is we see Cannon at Big 10s
I'm in agreement with Cael about guys flexing on Sammy after they beat him. Very low class on their part. I also agree it's a miracle he can compete at this level, with what he endured.
Guess they are trying for a double redshirt for Sealey. Don’t really agree with it, but that’s where we are at in this sport.
I assume he means he’ll take next year and this year off, regular RS next year and medical this year.
Unless somebody is an a-hole, (AJ, Miller); he's your opponent, not your enemy.
I don't believe that is possible, usually a Med RS is only available when a guy already burned his RS that season or used it in a past season. But with the way it is now who knows maybe they will just give everyone 2 redshirts to use whenever they want
You know what happened the last time somebody said "book it" in regard to Penn State wrestling, right?
Evans has fought amateur MMA fights on 10/26 and 1/25 this season (wins by 1st round submission and 1st round KO). Both were at 145. No doubt he can make 157. And he is on the roster. But clearly his focus has changed from open tourneys to MMA.
So you're saying he would definitely get the start if this weekend were Rutgers.
Training for his transfer to Rutger, along with Sealey and Kasak and Pierce . . . which is why we are Doomed until Watson heals up.
Steiber breaks down the bucknut performance last weekend. Praises Mendez for digging deep and beating an opponent in OT he was supposed to get bonus on. Said “A lot of guys lose that match, I’ve lost that match.”.
Yep, sure did.

In years past, Evans would been well suited for the dual meet with Rutgers.
Edit - I see that El Jefe beat me to it. This one was just too easy.

I wonder if Beau will have any chance at all against the “more skilled” Mendez. 😉
He wished that he had Jese's skill.
My guess is a 149 bump up to 157. Not sure Sealey can comfortably make 157 and even if he can, having him spend time to make a cut when he missed valuable practice time already doesn't make sense.
Quoting Cael:
"There's different kinds of injuries," coach Cael Sanderson told reporters Tuesday in State College when asked about Davis.
"There's season-ending injuries, there's things that are going to be a nuisance for him at the nationals like Carter (Starocci) dealt with at nationals last year. But we don't have what we feel like is anything like that. There's a good chance he'll wrestle this week, and there's a chance he won't wrestle this week."

The No. 1 Nittany Lions could miss two starters at Ohio State. Who could wrestle in place of injured Braeden Davis and Tyler Kasak?
