[Delcolion915]

Now we all know that comparative results don't mean anything, but, what did we just see?

Now we all know that comparative results don't mean anything, but, what did we just see?

The #1 p4p kid in high school. And Duke is number 2 in my eyes. A likely NCAA champ at 125 next year as well?

 

[Chickenman Testa]

There will be no screenshots of ref calls for that match. Beat Down

 

[Delcolion915]

Wow. There’s your 2025 NCAA 125 champ

You went ahead and said what I was thinking. I am not quite sure yet but I'm about 90 percent there on this. He cut through this tournament like a surgeon.

Im not a “break pumper”. I see what my eyes tell me

I said it during NCAA’s but I think he would’ve won it this year. Kid is special

 

[Delcolion915]

Yep. A blind man could see the kid is special.

 

[Phantom of the Palestra]

To bad Flo didn't cover Willie swinging on Corby and getting kicked out of the arena lol

Did this really happen? LOL

 

[zzs006]

Next match between Bassett and Valencia should be good. Bassett beat him recently but Valencia is a high level freestyler. Let’s see if Bo can do it again

[mcpat]

A lot of these younger guys really let it fly. Wrestling has a bright future.

 

[zzs006]

that ankle pick was a thing of beauty

 

[zzs006]

Wow! That snap was nasty! Put his face right through the mat

So many extremely high level kids coming to PSU in the next few years but I think Duke might be the best. He is absolutely incredible. So hard to score on. So fundamentally sound. So strong and has really good attacks from so many different areas. I am really excited to see him at PSU

 

[pish69]

My Lord the sky is the limit for Duke. Hopefully all his injury woes are in the past. An absolute beast

[El-Jefe]

The answer is that these guys will qualify for an Olympic redshirt. Come on el Jefe, the latest cycle has them as qualifiers . I don't see any changes.

What I meant by that, other than the snark -- and I should've been clearer about this:

IIRC the Trials qualification rules changed for the 2024 Olympics, adding past years of allowable credentials, due to the Covid fustercluck.

Will USA Wrestling keep a solution to a problem that no longer exists? Who knows.

But they need to do something about a format that had guys competing until nearly midnight, on the treadmill cutting weight past 1 am, and then having to weigh-in at 8 am. If that means reducing qualifiers, so be it. And that might trickle into Olympic Shirt rules.

 

[zzs006]

Big one here between Lockett and Sealey. Sealey beat him at Ironman this year but that was in folk. Both guys are U17 world champs

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Duke looks ready today, in my opinion. He's A+ in all positions.

 

[zzs006]

Anyone know if Duke will forego his senior year of high school and come to the NLWC/M2?

 

[mcpat]

To bad Flo didn't cover Willie swinging on Corby and getting kicked out of the arena lol

Demonstrating the better fan behavior he told us we needed to improve upon last week?

 

[Pennstate1985]

Lilledahl is just a ridiculous hand fighter

Where does Lilledahl train?

Corby hasn't earned respect as a all-time wrestling social media maven, obviously.

Did something actually happen between those 2 at this tournament?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

The grounded rule is an absolute mess.

I don’t know. Read it here first. Also saw it referenced in a Mineo tweet..

 

[zzs006]

Man I haven’t seen Sealey get caught flat footed Over and over like this before

 

[El-Jefe]

Where does Lilledahl train?

Primarily in Kingston, but he gets around to other clubs and has been to M2 and NLWC.

 

[zzs006]

Big win for Lockett! These 2 should see each other again at WTT

 

[zzs006]

Primarily in Kingston, but he gets around to other clubs and has been to M2 and NLWC.

He is repping NLWC now where he had been claiming X-calibur Athletics until just recently. Not sure if his training environment has changed as well

 

[Delcolion915]

Odd loss for Sealy, didn't he beat Lockett before? What happened?

 

[zzs006]

Ryder loves that whip over. He is so good with it

 

[amattaro]

I don’t know. Read it here first. Also saw it referenced in a Mineo tweet..

Very disrespectful of the crowd in Vegas.

 

[zzs006]

Odd loss for Sealy, didn't he beat Lockett before? What happened?

He has but Lockett is a stud. He just teched Shapiro at Olympic trials and he’s a U17 world champ. I would’ve picked Sealey but it’s not a huge upset at all

Henckel had a good tournament as well. Just took 4th with a 10-9 loss to Lorenzo Norman. I’ve mentioned before but Norman is a freshman at Stanford and he beat Shane Griffith this year
