If we didn’t have background info on either would you still think Verkleeren is better?

I'm really not interested in anything Foley has to say anymore. (Unless he addresses Olympic refs corruption.)
JB said his head gear has extra padding and an extra thick chin strap.
Berge look a a bit tired. But working hard late in third. Tired is to be expected.

People here complaining about Verk I don't think watched him in HS.
Verk was really good early but in folk there is a reason he was walking on at PSU. Hoffman is a solid D1 wrestler and last year I believe Verk and Hoffman were very close.
Gardner is a very solid guy as well. Not much talent gap between the three.
Verk is a solid NQ type guy as a soph and has a lot of experience which makes him a tough out against anyone.
Unfortunately hes not the next Zain like you guys want.

humphries is a really good win coming back from the concussion.

good win g/c

but it feels better when we lay down at night and close our eyes
Is Brooks a go tonight. He was the only one sent out although Edsell was announced also.
Considering the last time we saw him, Berge was unconscious in Budapest, I’ll take the win over # 13 kid.
I always appreciate your input dice. There should be realistic expectations but I don't think anyone expects Verk to be the next Zain. Plus Verk beat Hoffman last season so some negativity can be expected.
I think Berge looked great especially for his first match back. Clean leg attacks and extremely tough to score on. Very good win
And how did that match last year go?
Verk eked out a win.
It's not like Hoffman is not a tough kid. Luke Karam is wrestling in opens right now because of him.
Verk is going to win a match or two that is going to make everyone happy - if he hangs on to the spot - and hes going to lose a few that make us mad.
I'd consider him at risk to lose to anyone in the top 30 or so (NQ types) and able to win against anyone not on the mid to top rungs of the podium.
This match falls in line with that.
this is where we say the team is training through this match.......right?

Great points - and Humphries gave Nolf one of his toughest matches last year.
thats a match like dice was pointing to where Verk could very easily with his counter offense win a match where it looks like he should lose.
lugo will be pushed to shoot from his corner and crowd and I think that fits Verk style better than a guy like tonight who is comfortable not to shoot either
Guys - don't worry, dual meet weigh ins are tough on people like Cenzo who is cutting from 220. He'll manage it by tournament time.
maybe it was a long bus ride....
