Super32

[js8793]

what? Carson Manville at 182, that dude got big! Where have I been??

I'm not sure what the situation is, but the added weight is not "good" weight. When I tuned in, I was expecting a Zahid like growth spurt. I've heard he's had some health problems and it looked like he's been off the mat for a long time. He also gassed crazy hard in his loss.

In his current form, he's not a D1 prospect, which is crazy to think about given the start of his career. Frankly, I'm really suprised he was out there this weekend. He was not in form for this kind of competition. Moving forward, I hope he's healthy and figuring some things out because he's obviously talented and seems like a really nice kid.

Didn't he have some serious surgery and wasn't this his first competition or one of the first since coming back?

After some digging, it looks like he was out for a long time with a serious infection. Certain steroids are often used to treat serious infections and significant weight gain is often a side effect. I'm wondering if that's the source of the weight gain. It could also just be a long period of inactivity. Regardless, if he's back on the mat, I'm assuming the infection has been taken care of and that's good news. This is all obviously speculation.

Gibson and Bassett win super32 titles for RPW/The Compound. Need to get some PSU paraphernalia in and around there before Jody buys them all tickets to Iowa.

Compartment syndrome. Was talked about in this thread:

Berge took 8th at 170
Asher Cunningham 7th at MS85

Hayden Cunningham went 3-2 with two of those wins on the front side at 106lb. His losses were to the #14 and #2 seeds.

Jack Blumer also won 4 to make the quarters at 160lb before losing to eventual 2nd and 4th placers.

Younger brother of Erik Gibson, one of the top 2022 recruits, from Forest Hills HS near Johnstown.

Erik took 3rd at Hershey and placed at Fargo this year as a freshman, and is definitely on every coach's radar. If Mason is better still ... FULL COURT PRESS !!!!

I've gotten into some disagreements with you on some things, but without a doubt you know your prospects. Dipping in the Jr. High ranks.

I don't know what to make of that match -- or his opponent: Luke Montgomery from Bethel Park. I guess we could consider it not a fluke because (1) he beat Shumate 12-5 and (2) the round before he beat Rutgers commit Kyle Epperly, who placed at NJ states last year, 9-0. Those are two good consecutive wins.

OTOH, Montgomery twice DNP at regionals, then this year took 7th at states (though he got blasted by both Jameel Coles and Max Shaw). PA Power has him as barely a top 80 recruit among PA wrestlers this year, vs. Shumate being top 10 nationally in 2022. Maybe the light went on this offseason.

EDIT: looking a little deeper, last year Montgomery beat former PA state finalist Dom Fundy 10-5. So there has to be some talent there.

This just screams of a preferred walk on. I'm from his area and have not seen him wrestle much. Fundy is very good, but has been constantly battling injuries. That seems a bit of a fluke given Fundy's injuries until this tournament.

I typically stay out of the JHS stuff, but kinda hard to avoid this weekend with Gibson's performance and the Cunningham kids.

Though it is interesting to look back at youth brackets once those guys reach HS JR/SR years and college, and see so many familiar names.

Fundy did have a lot of injuries, but that was his only loss last year until he defaulted out of the postseason, and he doesn't appear to have missed any regular season competition dates.

"" "Appear" because I didn't look at his team's schedule, but his match list shows no calendar gaps of more than a week.

He does show a FFT the same day, guessing he tweaked something vs. Montgomery in a tourney and got pulled, but he wrestled the next week (and beat a returning state placer in that match).

So, yeah, that result was probably in part Fundy being dinged up. Nobody else beat Fundy, so it's not just the injury bug.

What to make of Montgomery? Agreed, preferred walk on type. Light bulb going on late doesn't make him a Cassar.

Brady Hankin from Colorado placed at 113.

Wrestling at PSU is his goal -- or at least was in the article Tom linked some time ago. Class of 2022.

We just got back from our first Super 32 experience. my 8 year old won a belt, 11 year old got fourth. HS'er wrestled at 120 and went 4-2 with a win over a ranked guy. Pretty awesome tournament, kids had a blast.
