There is a lot of season left for Bernie and everyone else to improve. He's got the best training partners and coaches in the world. Not the finished product yet.
Oregon State Dual
- Thread starter nerfstate
- Start date
That part is true, though. It doesn’t take anything away from Kasak’s win on the road against a NQ caliber opponent as a true frosh in one of his first matches at the weight. But Singleton’s ranking was a head scratcher. He’s more of a 0-2 BBQ type guy.
He is correct. Take a look at the kid's record the past 2 years and point out any win other than a forfeit that is close to earning him a #11 ranking (you need a WrestleStat account to see his entire history).

I know it will be on a Monday night, but after seeing this team tonight, it's a shame that the Rutgers BJC dual hasn't sold out.
This team is bona-fide!
This team is bona-fide!
Cael mentioned the other day that kasak is heavy enough to be a solid 149lber.
Doesn't rethinking require thinking?
Caliendo has a knack for giving up the first takedown. Cant do that against Mitchell if he wants to have a chance.
Not sure where to put this. Shapiro teched paddy tonight. Foca pinned Hoffman. Chittum beat Teemer 9-5 while Bastida beat Schultz 4-3. Spratley beat Camacho 7-2, Fix over Orine 11-3, and Travis beats Ed Scott 7-6.
So we’re really doing this again with Truax, huh?
The kid is what he is. He’s gonna go something like 18-2/3 on the year into the NCAA tournament and very likely finish between 2nd and 5th. We knew this going in.
He’s exactly on track.
Munoz is good and there’s a reason they’ve split previously.

It is truly tiring
Some people deserve Troy Sunderland as a coach of this team for a week

Caliendo is really good. He should be an AA in by far the toughest/deepest class in the sport this year. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Mesenbrink is looking like another potential 4-timer caliber guy, although with KOT and Carr standing in the way, that would be a monumental feat. At this point, I think Mesenbrink should be favored over Caliendo, and I expect he’ll be ranked #3 by the time the Iowa-PSU dual rolls around.
Some people need a punching bag -- like Gulibon, 149 Bartlett, etc.
Jimmy Gulibon should hire himself out as a permanent punching bag. He’d make good coin
It’s Gulibon truly the only PSU wrestler who has never beaten Nico in the room? Or is that just a rumor?
Meet was a total blowout........but credit to OSU. I think they battled, especially at key weights. Levi is great, but I don't think he has looked like himself the last two matches. Is he cutting a lot of weight or feeling the pressure of a high ranking? He'll be fine, just curious as he hasn't looked quite as dominant.
We have some real brutes. MM is amazing! Carter is so dominant. And Davis against Kaylor...wow! So much to look forward to.
BTW, Bernie lost to a tough kid. Would love to see him more be more aggressive, but he'll be fine. Seems to shine at nationals.

I'm more impressed by Davis because I know where Mesenbrink's confidence comes from. Davis didn't just win a world title, he just walked into the room and grabbed the job, looking more like a kid asking for an autograph than a starter. He'll run into some turbulence sooner or later I imagine, but 125 is as open as it's been in a while.
Every time PSU comes out West, the crowds are record size crowds. Cael should start negotiating that we get a cut of the gate receipts to add to our double top secret slush fund.
Turns out 125 was wide open last season as well.
That’s Carl’s demeanor pretty much every match. RBY, on his podcast, said it’s the assistants who are the noise coming from the corner. Cael wants his guys to face adversity as he preps them for March. He wants them in difficult situations. It’s part of his plan.
They are in overtime but Jimmy keeps taking extra time to get his headgear on right because his hair is too long
Please keep that information on this board, Willie is in current negotiations for us. We should hear very soon.
Penn State Wrestling continues to be the rising tide that lifts all boats.
What a great scene in Corvallis last night, Cool venue with raised mat, Oregon State wrestled valiantly but Penn State just superior, strangely reminded me of Clarion wrestling Iowa back in the day, high hopes but just got blasted

It’s why we watch! Upsets. Action! Head scratchers. Gotta love this sport. Woke up this AM glad that the season is back in full swing again.
It’s in our DNA. Nit fans love the W’s, but, they dwell on the L’s.
