Stutzman Era 2.0 is off to a good start. There are three freshmen on the roster: Cole Coffin, Hayden Coy, and Leo Hess.

I'm sure that many saw this news on the "Iowa thread", but for those who don't read it.

This isn’t good. Heard Shapiro lost to a Harvard kid and could have another concussion issue. He just medically forfeited to Arrington of NCst.
Guy on TheMat said he hit his head on the mat after an inside trip and was holding his head afterwards.

Taken from TheMat
I'm starting to worry that this head stuff may end his career it seems like he can't go a tournament without something CKLV, I heard it was an issue at NCAA's and something had to be off at OTT's. Really hope he figures it out because I truly think the sky is the limit for him but he just cant stay healthy.
Definitely concerning. Multiple recurring concussions is not a place you wanna be. There’s more to life than wrestling (shhh).
Probably 15 years ago my cousin's son won a couple PA Junior Wrestling state titles, placed in several age specific national tournaments and generally speaking impressed me in being able to be taught new techniques and almost immediately able to effectively use them. Half way through a one loss freshman season he started getting headaches. Eventually he couldn't get through a practice without having physically disabling headaches. Sat out the rest of his freshman year and his sophomore year without any issues. 2 weeks into his junior season they started again. He never got a chance to see how good he could have been. 30 or so now, married, father with a successful career and a functioning brain.
Not really a point to my post, just sharing a family story.

Luke Stanich is gonna be hard to redshirt this year. Won the Journeyman at 141 beating Orine and Composto. Ryan Jack was also in that division. Also has a win over Lemley this year.
They have Wisconsin on the docket December 8.
I hope the Columbia County EMT's are on standby.
Gotta think Camacho is out and Vince Robinson is in for NCState. Robinson looks miles ahead.
Got to use every RS available so he’s at least 25 when he portals to Iowa. LOL.
25, college degree in hand. If fully taken advantage of, a masters. Ready to get busy with life, and stop in Iowa City to pick up half a million in seed money and a look at the windowless dungeon and tunnel. Not a bad plan.
When Basch posted Lesley got upset I did not think he was correct on that one, I would have picked that.

Yeah, was watching the BEG guys last night and they said after it happened they checked him out and then let him continue for a bit after that. Considering they did the same thing last year when he suffered the concussion at CKLV there seems to be something wrong with their trainer and coaching stafff.
Maybe their trainer and coaching staff know more about Shapiro than do you? Like when he lost to Cardenas at NCAAs with a similar issue, and ended up taking third (and soundly beating Cardenas the next day)?
Yes, probably do. That being said, yesterday,he landed on his head, called injury time. He was sitting there holding his head. Knowing his history with concussions from last year maybe you just be proactive and default right then for a match that means nothing rather than send him back out.
Didn’t a similar thing happen with Yianni a year or two ago? I could be misremembering but I can picture a match where his clock was seriously rung but he kept wrestling until he finally couldn’t continue and MFF’d.
It was just earlier in the year during the wrestle off with Nick Lee to go to Pan Am‘s.
Some one on here posted that fight pass for wrestling only was $3 a month, or something like that. I can't find that deal or was it only for a limited time?
Speaking of which, Rutgers lost 23-14. Next time KidDagger pops in, I'll have to ask him about his 22-9 Rutgers win prediction for the dual.
Didn't see anyone mention Missouri-Illinois last night.
O'Toole - Braunagul was a barn burner with Braunagul getting a couple of TDs. Was 9-7 with 10 seconds to go before O'Toole got 3 and 4 off a Braunagul TD.
Easy to see why O'Toole is ranked so high and so mucher higher than Levi in Kocak's PFP - I mean Braunagul is elite despite that 3-4 record.😎
Love that Gable got the #1 over Carter before stepping on the mat as well. Gable's NCAA resume must be better than Carter's because we know Kocak doesn't take freestyle or injury defaults into account when ranking, right?
Right??? LMAO. Hope they got their extra 100 clicks.

Sinclair/Braunagel is a notable result for us since most would have Braunagel as a fringe AA candidate. Sinclair I think might be a bit undersized for 184 and Josh beat him to make the U20 team.
Simlarly, although Sinclair did have Connor's number in HS, Ben notoriously always seemed higher on Connor's college potential since Connor is way more of an attacker (and possibly the fact Cael sees potential adds to it) Although Cael said Connor is a shoe in to redshirt, Ben said he thinks under Cael, there isn't anyone at 197 Connor can't compete with by next March if needed.

Keegan-Braunagel was fun. Braunagel really showed up ready to bring it, but honestly, KOT looked nothing like a two-time champ.
It’s a shame Mizzou’s 165 got hurt. I hope he’s ok. He was pretty exciting before the injury.
You mean undersized for a 197? The Braunagels are scrappers and fun to watch, but yeah, fringe AA is about their ceiling in folkstyle. I expect more from Sinclair eventually, although I assume he’s bound for RS this year once Elam is back.
The Mizzou staff noted that Braunagel was gassing at the end of the first, and Sinclair was eventually able to cash in.
Pretty sure Sinclair lost pretty handily the first weekend as well. I can’t remember who it was against though
Russia is dualing w/ Iran at 11EST today here, if anyone is interested:

Note that Barr lost (badly) Sinclair in the US Open finals in April 2024, just a couple months prior to reversing the result (winning 2 of 3 bouts) in the U20 world team trials. This at 86 kg (189 lb).
And in my view Sinclair didn't appear much undersized at 86 kg. Could see him at 184, but going down to 174 would seem a real stretch.
Sinclair lost a 9-12 decision to Andy Smith of VaTech. This on 15 Nov 2024. Smith is a senior and ranked #13 by Intermat. Really not a bad loss at all for Sinclair, who is a true freshman and was wrestling in his first college dual meet.
BTW, Brunagel is also a senior and ranked #10 by Intermat.
Braunagul certainly made O'Toole work for it.
Did this dual happen in a bar, or perhaps in a pop-up event tent in a parking lot? I guess the good news is that the 25 spectators had a good view.
Some minor upsets this week so far, at least based on rank.

149: #27 Gabe Willochell (WYO) over #15 Carter Young (OKST) 12-7
VT vs RUT
184: #43 Shane Cartagena-Walsh (RUT) over #13 TJ Stewart (VT) 5 - 1

Under a bridge, presumably.
In the Iran vs. Russia match, Putin appears to own the refs so far. Never seen 3 shot clock points awarded to the same guy in the same match before. Iranian TV is a trip too. Zero women on screen.
I know people probably don't care--it is folkstyle season--but Mamedov seemed to crack the code vs Amouzad. Patiently backed to the edge and hit several beautiful slide-bys when Amouzad tried to drive him out. Amouzad gassed him though--and almost came back. Good match 10-7. Russia takes the 1st
Channel change (unless you're into the low-budget Iranian knock-off of Game of Thrones): https://telewebion.com/live/varzesh
I missed 79, but I think Iran won. Ghazempour is down at 86 now vs Kadiev. Kadiev got an early lead with some very explosive moves, but Ghaz gassed him and won 8-5.
High drama at 92. Iran looked to get a step out to go up 3-0, but the russian refs awarded 2 to Russia. Challenge upheld despite clear evidence to the contrary, and the Iranian coach stormed off, ending the bout. Or not.. they continued, and Iran came back to win 5-4. Two bouts to go, Iran probably favored in both, which would be 5-5, but I think Sidakov's tech would be the difference.
Not now--Iran's 97 broke the Mongolian-looking Russian 11-1. Not sure where criteria would land now, assuming Zare wins by decision.
Zare rolls to the 12-2 tech, so I think Iran wins on 2 techs to one (5-5 bouts). That was way more fun than I thought it was watching 2 hated rivals. It was easy to root for Iran when it was clear who the refs were pulling for.

Apparently Ayala is the champion at 133. I've heard of biased announcers but actually denying history is a new way to spin things.
Man, I have ZERO concerns about a healthy SVN losing to Parco. None at all.
