Turns out Barr can get away with a lack of setups by just having a preposterous amount of DAWG IN EM
U20 World Team Trials & U23 Nationals - May 31-June 2

and to think they clean the mats so he can get his stinky feet all over them
. Actually ticks me off about all the traffic on the mat after all the effort to clean them...Barr looks legit and is making jumps every competition. I seriously think he is a high AA this year at whatever weight he goes
What a performance from Barr and the entire PSU program! PSU put 5 out of 10 weights onto the U20 world team. Absolutely incredible
The USA needs 5 out of 10 scoring wrestlers from PSU to win worlds.
Shades of Starocci turning it around against Kemerer from Big Ten to NCAAs. Looked one sided without an answer for Josh at the Open.
Wow, Barr.
Sinclair absolutely pummeled Barr at the US Open; what a turn of events.
It's been stated here before, but if Barr ever figures out what's he doing on the mat, watch out.

Cmon down Marcus Blaze! 141 will be waiting for you
Yep, but Arnold is going to be the next champion at 174. If success requires wrestling techniques, anything over 125 at Iowa is at best a mid level All-American.
Kennedy will be the starting 174 pounder for the Hawks.

Don't look now but Cochran absolutely p-pounded Lenny Pinto. And it wasn't just one of those "freestyle" wins.
The only letdown was that I didn't see Manning in the corner.

It really is perfect. 141 is pretty much the only hole in the lineup once Bartlett is done. After watching NCAA’s and then being on this team with 5 other PSU guys I just don’t see how he doesn’t decide PSU is where he needs to be. Especially with his senior level goals. It all just makes too much sense
Is next year’s lineup better with Starocci at 184 and Cochran at 197 or Barr at 184 and Starocci at 197?
It's really getting comical now how loaded we are.
U23 Quarter-Finals Tomorrow:
61kg: Gary Steen vs. Nic Bouzakis (Ohio RTC)

He would be forgoing a chance to earn a coveted Blackshirt at Ohio State, working out in a windowless dungeon in Iowa, or spending years in the Hobbesian nightmare that is Oklahoma. Tough choice
I am wondering if the FLO guys will start touting Cochran as a title contender now?
It's getting to the point now where the best team in the nation is Penn State, and the second best team in the nation is Penn State's back ups.
And no, I am not being facetious.
And just for laughs I'm heading over to GIA for more hilarity.
well I am certain you will hear how all the PSU guys cheated and all the iowa guys got robbed!

Go.
Hobbesian nightmare? High level stuff right there. Please keep in mind this is an internet message board for college wrestling.
GIA is riding on Kueter like they did with Lord Spencer. It's beautiful.

Brayden Thompson loses 7-1 to Max Hale of Penn.
Rough first tourney for DT and co at OKST. But I imagine the last 2 months have not been an ideal training environment.

It’s almost sad. Kueter could be absolutely great but with football being the main priority he will never reach his full potential. That has to be a kick in the nuts for the Iowa wrestling faithful
