C. Pyles posted on Twitter that Zain is scheduled for a wrestling camp/clinic on May 20 and thereby concludes that he won't be at World Team Trials (which conclude on May 20). Any word on whether Zain is taking the season off or planning to be at WTT? PSU can be notoriously silent on plans for its wrestlers.
A general question. Is Zain still a PSU wrestler since he is still enrolled, or has he transitioned to a NLWC wrestler since his collegiate days are over?
When DT and ER leave PSU will come back to pack......
Good question, had to think about that...
Zain is out of eligibility, and the rulebook defines the end of a season as championships...so he can't officially do folkstyle ever again. To me, he's an NLWC wrestler, with no limits on practice time, etc., even though he's still a student.
New guys and old guys looked good this morning.
Its hard to catch every match even when setting in the arena.

To me that’s Gable’s only issue, he’s 6 foot tall tops and already in the 240-250 range. He doesn’t have that much more room on his frame to add bulk without losing a bit of what makes him great, his feet and athleticism. I mean sure his 17 year old self is going to get a lot stronger than he is now, but I don’t know if much more than 250 is in the cards for him unless he has another growth spurt. To me a full size heavyweight like the 6’5 285 Adam Coon is always going to give him trouble, though I don’t imagine he’s the only one with that problem. Think Coon wins this weekend and gives Gwiz all he wants in the Final X
Looks like Berge and Verkleeren might be on a collision course for a semifinal meetup. Who wins? Doesn't Verkleeren have better freestyle chops? If they meet, it could have psychological implications for who wins the spot next year in the PSU room.
Thank you! A corollary question Roar. Between seasons, are collegiate wrestlers bound to practice time restrictions for freestyle, or is it unlimited since it is outside the bounds of the university? Thanks
Gavin Teasdale just destroyed and completely dominated Foley of Michigan State 10-0 in the first minute
Berge just picked Brayton Lee apart.
Meanwhile, Verkleeren got roasted.

Well, both with TFs in the semis except that Berge won and Verk lost.
Don't worry. He is still going to win the tournament. At least in his dad's eyes and heart.
All those moving back to 149 next year just collectively pooped a Cruseliner at the thought of facing Zain again.
Varner over Tanner Hall. It will be Varner vs Coon in the finals.
