What a wonderful way for the California Kid to end his home career. A National Championship would be a story book ending ala Frank, Q, David, Ed, and Matt.
Rec Hall pin by Morgan McIntosh...
- Thread starter amalone
- Start date
Agreed..easily one of my favorite wrestlers.. Class act all the way...
If he stays on his offense he will win Nationals. Must stay on his offense though.
Morgan says he is finally healthy at the end of a year. Think he has an excellent chance at stepping up the platform.
He got the Fall tonight and the Ridge Riley Award with his parents on hand in Rec Hall, in from CA.
Very happy for Morgan.
Really want him to go out on top like Brown, in his final year.

After Zain, I'm more confident in him winning a title than any other guy on our team. Nolf is amazing, but he still has IMar to contend with and that will be a battle. I think Morgan has taken another step forward this year.
I disagree...just for fun....I think Hartmann remains the real worry. His offense will beat Cox every time. Hartmann takes advantage of others aggressiveness and how Morgan lost to him last year. I want a good draw at NCAA that doesn't have Hartmann in his way, because even on his game....this is not a great matchup.
And Minnesota's Brett Pfarr wrestled Morgan into SV at the Scuffle.
The thing that stands out to me was that he was pressed in to service as a true freshman as a true freshman which is daunting alone, add being a true 184 lber wrestling 197 and missing AA only because being hampered by injury. I believe his career he is currently just over 100 wins and 18 loses and 10 of those loses were as a true freshman! I have often wondered what his career stats would have looked like if he RSed his first year and wrestled most of his career at 184.
AND HE DID IT WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE! What a great wrestler and teammate
I am anxious to see him wrestling at 86KG following graduation (bummer that DT, ED and MM are all at the same weight)

He might be the quietest badass to compete in a while.
MM looking at the ref as if to say, "I'm pretty sure he's flat."
Morgan McIntosh on top of that is a well spoken, badass. His comments in his post match interview... were reflective of the classy, young man that he is. Like Jason Nolf... he reflected on how grateful he was to come across the country and wrestle for Penn State. Well... I can speak for many Penn State fans who are and were more grateful for the experiences he gave all Penn State fans. Morgan is one of my all time favorites... 1st as a human being... and then as a wrestler.
Listen to MM's comments post match: Morgan stated.. "I'm in a very special place..." And as fans, Morgan... I would insist... WE WERE.
Start at 6:11 of the interview. "I'm in a special place... on a special team." Wow...

Agree with all the comments made about Morgan; a class act. Another thing I liked about Morgan was that he always spoke well of his opponents, no trash talk.
I think MM's extra focus on his offense this year would overwhelm Hartmann. His recent performances are Zain-esque. To me, Cox remains the biggest threat. If MM takes care of business at B1G's, Cox should end up on the other side of the bracket at Nationals. Mac will likely have to deal with Hartmann, and the loser of Pfarr/Burak at B1G'S, in the national semis.
That's the script burnsie that most likely will be written. MM has been much more explosive this year. He mentioned this is the healthiest he's been at this point in the season his entire career. I hope that pays off in another Big Ten Title which is highly likely and a National Championship. I'd have the exact same feeling as when Q defeated Dustin Kilgore at 197 and marveled at the athleticism Q showed against a much bigger guy that night. MM is that bigger guy with that rare extreme athleticism to match anyone on Saturday night at Nationals. Whomever it may be.
