Mesenbrink has a Nolf like mentality, not afraid of giving up points since he's confident he can get it back later.

Garvin with a slap to the face for the third time in the match and gives up C1. Mesenbrink wins it 17-8.
i like little. might be a solid guy for little rock.
he’s dangerously close to a hitler stache tho.

Brady's big little brother is going to be a good one for SDSU
Hitler ruined that stache and the name Adolph(f) for everyone, though the Coors family bucked the trend
Volk with an 11-5 win over Bassett. Bassett ultimately takes 4th with a pretty solid showing. He’s obviously a very talented kid and seems like a good kid as well, but given his age relative to grade, early training and weight training regimen maybe we should pump the brakes on the generational prospect talk. But he is clearly very good.
We gotta get rid of the slip throw rule. Guys shouldn’t be bailed out for being sloppy.
I truly do not understand the C1 rule when a guy has his leg up in the air. Not much you can fight back in.
Either way, Lilledahl with a 4-2 victory to make the team.
What an impressive kid.

Bouzakis’ reminds me a lot of Daton in free. Good upper body. Good short offense. Good gut. Built like a fire hydrant.
Think it depends who goes and at what weights but he certainly looked damn good in match two
Penn State will obviously be more than fine but good lord Shapiro is something else
Kasak not quite on Mendez' tier but it'd have been a surprise if he was.
Mesenbrink with a 10-0 TF in the first period in match 2 and he joins Lilledahl on the team.
Mesenbrink has a great heads-up sense to turn defense into offense.
Didn’t realize Barraclough was wrestling but he is right now.
Leads Zach Mattin from Michigan 4-3 at the break. Had Mattin in a cradle for over a minute but no fall.
Barraclough wins 8-3

That AWA pipeline is going to pay dividends methinks
Who in the world is watching these finals, wishing they were wrestling folk? Gotta be out your damn minds. We’d have two guys handfighting, ankle riding, crawling out of bounds for restarts.
The action in these finals has been impeccable.
Folkstyle is the shitty light beer of wrestling. Sure, it’s approachable, but it’s still piss water.

Gabe Arnold is pretty good at what he does, it's just that what he does isn't particularly entertaining.
i posted this on HR but i really want him to take this next year and volume attack in a bunch of matches. figure out some offensive series that work for his body. even if it means he takes some “bad losses.”.
he does all of the little things so well already. AA level positioning and hand fighting. knows how win close matches. kind of the reverse of your typical prospect.
if he develops his offense, he’s a title contender quickly.
I imagine he's headed for a redshirt unless Nelson is one of the gamblers and they just want a contributor at 174 lol.
Any sport that rewards you for leaving the competitive surface is piss water.
Criteria freaking rules. There’s nothing more boring than two dudes handfighting for 1min with a tie score because they know they’re going to OT.
You can’t honestly think that a lot of these scoring rulings are just a matter of “try”.
When 3 guys that cover the sport at Flo, and 4th that covers the sport, coaches it, and wrestled it at the highest level aren’t understanding scoring… they’re just not trying hard enough I guess?
Really wish I could watch one of these guys trap an ankle on top, never leave the hips, and be rewarded for it by earning a point…
When he gets to the next level his clear strength advantage will be somewhat diluted. I agree with your advice but it's rare to see a guy that closed figure out a way to open up when it involves embracing losing as a byproduct.
Yea I agree with your frustrations but man I still love it and I hate piss beer too, lol
