Well what the heck? Frankly I think he's going to show that it's impossible to redshirt him. Also, paging Mr Steen at 125?

Is this the same shoulder he had surgery on? And have the injuries been to both shoulders or only one? TIA
At what point are the rounds done for the day. Amazing just how many matches across the board.
Not sure if there is a break. U20's are best of 3. Thought I heard an announcer say that the U20 finals would start around 1730 Est, but not 100% sure on that...
Correct, only 2(plus Kueter). Not sure why Carroll didn't wrestle.
Thank you. He made the Greco team so maybe he just wants to concentrate on that but I was really looking forward to seeing him vs Kueter. They are 1-1 against each other so I was hoping for a rubber match
Wanted to see that one too, but Pettigrew is a stud as well. He and Kueter just recently wrestled at Vegas, with Kueter winning by a point.

I was matside for that, Williams gave a Warneresque moan which I feel persuaded the ref to stop it.
Little different since Warner tried to get the ref to stop it before he even went over.
Williams was in a very very bad spot, it was rightfully stopped.
If Carr does move up as rumored, Haines could score a LOT at 157 this year.
When I look at WS, sure, Andonian is always a threat to throw you on your head and O’Connor is a former champ at 149. But there are a lot of guys in the top 8 he can beat.

Flo guys observe Haines looks much more sluggish on his feet than he did earlier in the tournament.
It’s like fatigue is a thing, or something.
That tends to happen when your on your fifth match of the day! Boy those Flow guys are smart
This is why despite Final X being a never ending format, I support it. Challengers deserve to wrestle the medalist fresh.
Heck it's a long day just following this, LOL.
It certainly is a huge advantage to rest all day while your opponenet works their tail off.
I’m a fan of the next day finals format.
If you told me Levi would tech Henson, Williams and Garvin back to back to back ... I'd say hell of a weekend. He was pretty spent and Mesenbrink is a great wrestler. Despite the fact I can't stand him, hard to deny Askren has his kids ready. Levi is a much better folk wrestler also than free IMO.
Similarly, Josh beat Singleton and Rowley was a great weekend, he still has some time in HS and Thompson is tough.
Facundo did his thing, I expected him to 10-0 the challenge tournament winner back to back. Since they released the junior fields, I didn't think anyone in the field could touch him. Last year 74KG was ridiculous, this year, it was all Alex. Will be fun watching him at Worlds.

Disagree completely. Sadly, Robbie Howard just can’t stay healthy. One more big injury, a transfer to another school and it’s up for grabs. Of course, Levi would benefit from a RS year. Who wouldn’t? However, 157 is a really weak weight and if Levi is ready and willing, I say let him wrestle!
I go back and forth on it. I think he would definitely AA next year and I’d love to see him compete. If he redshirts though I think he can be a 4 time champ. We probably don’t need his points next season but might need them in a future season. I’m sure Cael will make the right choice even if us in the peanut gallery don’t agree.
