They always scared me, ever since the one time he tweaked his knee, if I remember correctly.
Foley is having an inconsistent year. He also lost to Aden Valencia (still in HS) and got pinned by a 6-6 guy from Wyoming.
Yes. I heard the interview and you can tell Cael doesn’t like the new “norm” of guys not wrestling. He mentioned guys like Bo and Taylor that never missed a match. He also commented that so far the guys sitting want to go for the big matches and if they weren’t then he’s be concerned.
I feel Cael here..he trusts his guys though you can tell he’d much rather guys go out every match
I think JB lost his voice yelling at the end of the Steen match
Robbie Howard has a great seat. Lol. Man I hope he comes back healthy next year.
I was talking to a friend about this Friday night. When Conaway went to 133 he spent the summer eating and lifting and built himself into a very sturdy looking 133 pounder. Assuming Steen is slightly undersized, it would seem to have made sense for him to spend the offseason forcing his intake upwards while lifting his ass off.
While I don't fully disagree, it's tough to do much when your opposition doesn't do much other than work back to base then stall.
I don’t see Beau as lacking confidence; I see him as being careful to not get himself out of position. He seems to know when he can let it fly and plays it more cautious than some others when he’s not sure that he should.
Look, ultimately you gotta go out and beat whoever is in your way. But I don’t understand starting Barraclough here for seeding purposes when everyone knows (I’d reckon even Cael) how this ends.
JB just said Barraclough lost to Haines. I thought Barraclough won that match. I’ll have to rewatch it.

(Not according to my original PBP)
Haines is likely coming off the hardest two weeks of training of his life.
Recovery is an important part of progression.
Our coaches know that. Better than TnT, for damn sure.
More White Claws when doing PBP.JB just said Barraclough lost to Haines. I thought Barraclough won that match. I’ll have to rewatch it.
One aspect of this as well is that Barraclough could well be the starter next year at 157. So they may just want to get him reps whenever possible.
Holy Cow! The both Levi and Baraclaw wearing headgear ready to come out. TB gets the nod. Others wise the roof would have been blown off the BJC. Penn State building and grounds crew happy BJC still in tact.
I personally also would like to think that Cael is doing this to mess with Brands' mind to let him wonder who he should have Siebrecht prep for
There has also been one in house.JB just said Barraclough lost to Haines. I thought Barraclough won that match. I’ll have to rewatch it.
All the way across campus from Rec Hall too.
Still thinking about Michigan at BJC. But Rec Hall would have imploded as well as the Creamery and East College Ave if Levi wrestled!
Have to say Saldate earned it. Also have to think 157 is settled. Barraclough is a good wrestler but difficult to see points at NCAAs from him. Haines, on the other hand looks like an AA. Great depth at the weight though. Barraclough would start and likely NQ at a lot of schools.
Coaching decision got a little easier. But I suspect they already knew that
Fish beat Facundo 6-5 at the Scuffle last year. Wondering if Alex carries that knowledge with him into today’s match.
