Sasso isn't beating can ness or kasak he's not the same wrestlerIdk it could be interesting, not a blow out.
Osu is favored in atleast 2 matches compared to PSU 5 matches that does leav 3 undecided. Love Haines but up 20lbs we have to see before we speculate. Welsh vs Barr will probably be the match to watch just slightly edging Sasso vs Van Ness. If it is Sasso vs Kasak I would have to think that Sasso would be the slight favorite.
IDK how we can say "need to see Levi up 20 lb before we speculate" without also saying "need to see Sasso wrestle at all after getting shot and having to re-learn how to walk."Idk it could be interesting, not a blow out.

Sasso still has a bullet near his spine and had to learn to walk again. Just seeing him in the room let alone competitively on the mat will be a blessing and somewhat of a miracle.
That's as far I can go in terms of expectations.
If he regains an AA level of skill, they should make a movie about it.
As for Welsh, if you're unbiased you would have to list him as a favorite against anyone but Carter.
Going into the PSU v Iowa wrestling match Real Woods was the favorite against Beau. I picked Beau. My guess is by the time the PSU v OSU match rools around many on here won't be picking Welsh in know my Lions contest.Sasso still has a bullet near his spine and had to learn to walk again.

If Welsh and Levi are both at 174, I'm very comfortable picking the guy who has a lot more offense.As for Welsh, if you're unbiased you would have to list him as a favorite against anyone but Carter.
FIFYIf Welsh and Levi are both at 174, I'm very comfortable picking the guy who has [any] offense.
What does everybody think about Facundo's dominant win over Haines at the trials?Worries about Levi at 174 reminds me of when some thought Bo would be too small at 197. Our top guys don't tend to go up a weight and get overpowered, they and the coaches know what's right for their best wrestling.
I'm sure Facundo can beat a lot of guys in the room in a straight wrestleoff honestly. He's fantastic defensively and has room familiarity. He also spent the year focused on free (his better style) and barely wrestling while Levi was wrestling down at 157 and wrestled a full folk season. I am taking a I need to see folk results against top outside competition from Facundo to believe he's the best option.What does everybody think about Facundo's dominant win over Haines at the trials?
Also, Alex lost to Burrows 5-3 on four stepouts and a failed challenge. AF had the only TD.What does everybody think about Facundo's dominant win over Haines at the trials?
A few too many vocal fans here bailed on young Alex a bit too early IMHO. He is really good at wrestling and is a problem for most anyone he faces.What does everybody think about Facundo's dominant win over Haines at the trials?
^^This I believe as well.IDK how we can say "need to see Levi up 20 lb before we speculate" without also saying "need to see Sasso wrestle at all after getting shot and having to re-learn how to walk."
Never said solid, I sad favored. You reiterated exactly what I said "favored" yes I am right, thanks for arguing for me.don't see the Bucks as a solid favorite in any matches.
Going into the PSU vs Iowa match this year, I was fairly confident in Beau at that point. Woods was clearly a shell of his 2023 self by then (even ignoring the Lemley match)Going into the PSU v Iowa wrestling match Real Woods was the favorite against Beau. I picked Beau. My guess is by the time the PSU v OSU match rools around many on here won't be picking Welsh in know my Lions contest.
The worry about Bo going 197 was rather funny considering he bumped up to 184 from 174 and handled everything 2X champ Greek God Gabe Dean had to throw at him. Bo was 2 more years experienced and 197 certainly had nothing comparable to Gabe.Worries about Levi at 174 reminds me of when some thought Bo would be too small at 197.

The Ahia Staters got wind of this recent discussion and it has caused a disturbance in their protective little snow globe of a world where no one dare speaketh ill of a Buckeye squad.
Maybe this comparison might help them understand where I’m coming from. An Ohio State fan putting their faith in an outgunned Ohio State wrestling team coached by an intellectual turnip beating the monster that is Cael’s dynasty due to: some sort of home mat advantage in an arena seating about 4K, gap closing speciousness, and other fugazis is similar to Penn State football fans thinking that James Franklin will finally get it done against the Football Bucks because of the White Out and other reasons.
There are levels to each sport. It’s not personal - it’s reality. When the lights are on, Cael’s teams come out and kick heads in when they are the better team - and they are the better team.
Two years ago we had the WE ARE chant going at tOSU match. And it was overwhelmingly loud.Maybe this comparison might help them understand where I’m coming from.

I don't think Bo or Quentin had to lose any weight at 197!The worry about Bo going 197 was rather funny considering he bumped up to 184 from 174 and handled everything 2X champ Greek God Gabe Dean had to throw at him. Bo was 2 more years experienced and 197 certainly had nothing comparable to Gabe.
The funniest one this year was an Ironturd special. Aaron Brooks is two small for 197 and Ferrari will manhandle him two Aaron Brooks is taking 'roads he is so huge.
Bo didn't. At one point during Quentin's career his walking around weight was 205, but that was off-season. I would bet you are probably right, during the season I doubt he had to cut much of anything.I don't think Bo or Quentin had to lose any weight at 197!
Morgan was another who didn't lose any or not much weight!Bo didn't. At one point during Quentin's career his walking around weight was 205, but that was off-season. I would bet you are probably right, during the season I doubt he had to cut much of anything.
Same thing was said when Q moved up to 197, Cassar to 285 (including doubts from me), and many others. Since Cael has been at PSU many wrestlers have moved up in weight and most have done better at a higher weight.Worries about Levi at 174 reminds me of when some thought Bo would be too small at 197. Our top guys don't tend to go up a weight and get overpowered, they and the coaches know what's right for their best wrestling.
Coleman Scott found his landing spot, with the Ohio RTC.![]()
Major Announcement In Columbus at 1p ET/ 12p CT
Any guesses as to what it may be? No leaks, just speculation as they wouldn't tell me what exactly the news is...just that its happening.intermatwrestle.com
Good get for tOSU.Coleman Scott found his landing spot, with the Ohio RTC.
Good for him and for USA Wrestling. Also, Ryan doesn't need to rush his recovery.
From one OSU to another. Perhaps one day, he can move up a letter...although I'm not sure Portland State could use him.Good get for tOSU.
Are sure the bullet is still there? I'm pretty sure a good spinal surgeon could remove something like that. Leaving it in there and then letting him wrestle would be very dangerous. Just a small amount of movement could leave his spinal cord permanently damaged.Sasso still has a bullet near his spine and had to learn to walk again. Just seeing him in the room let alone competitively on the mat will be a blessing and somewhat of a miracle.

I believe he was the favorite at 197 during Covid when NCAA's was cancelled. Bo was at 184 that year.On these slow days of summer I was on the bucknuts board and I read a couple of posts that said, Kollin Moore got screwed out of a championship his senior year.
I went to Flo to watch the match however, it was only highlights really, it showed nothing of him getting screwed.
So I am simply asking what are they talking about him getting screwed against Nickal?
Bo had graduated. Moore was definitely the heavy favorite.I believe he was the favorite at 197 during Covid when NCAA's was cancelled. Bo was at 184 that year.
