Can someone do a wellness check on Carter? No tweets about today’s results at 79 kilos?

Two push outs.
When TNT start working with him on finishing faster, that should improve.
Oh wait...
It's a great day to be a Hawkeye hater!
When you guys are talking Hobbesian ... you mean Calvin & Hobbes, right?
Two push outs.
When TNT start working with him on finishing faster, that should improve.
Oh wait...
Good interview here. Says he wants to be an 84 but is up for whatever coaches want. Funny Carter questions though.
He wrestles tough, all that matters.
The Ryder interview was funny. Carter is a beast. Arnold should feel blessed that he never wrestled Carter.
Those guys coach the cleanest pushouts in wrestling.Two push outs.

Loved the Ryder interview! Thanks to all that posted these. My Lord we have some hammers on the way. Each and every one of them would be THE guy on every other college team. Here they are pieces of the ultimate dynasty. Can’t wait to watch all of them going forward.
Was away all day yesterday so just catching up. Wasn’t Kerk supposed to wrestle U23 and little Beau? Kasak at U20? Any reasons given why they didn’t compete?
I don't recall anyone saying Kasak was going 141. Most of this board thought he was a 157 if anything.
... and I'll believe Kasak missed weight when a more reliable source tells me so. Like the janitor.
Eh...I'm not really about criticism of guys who predict stuff. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong. Time and memoriam. Mineo is fun to follow either way.
The very definition of unreliable.
and then there is Kyle Dake giving an interview saying that he turned down a HC position last year, and Mineo turns it into Kyle Dake turned down the OSU job last year. I don't have time for click bait self-promoters.
From the Ryder interview, you know he is ready to be at PSU, he mentioned gratitude, God, protects his teammates and is very confident! He just left out what is favorite dodge ball maneuver is.
Mineo is normally pretty good about Lehigh Valley guys and I have seen from others connected to that area that Kasak is huge now. Also I know for a fact that Kasak likes to have fun outside of wrestling so its possible he is just enjoying his summer
Maybe Kerk missed weight too!😲

Ooofff. That was a doozy. A recruiting coordinator annoying the coach of the best high school team in the country - a gaffe that puts JayPa to shame.
We like our recruiting coordinator
U23 86kg QF: Lucas Cochran vs. Donnell Washington (Indiana RTC)
The Pinto Punisher is up again. Let's see if he gives Washington the Lenny treatment too.
FYI-Lucas had four techs yesterday. The only match he had that lasted into the second period was his tech of Lenny Pinto, and he only needed 25-sec in that period to complete the tech. Let's hope Lucas keeps the streak rolling!

Lucas with a quick duck & TD, 4-4, adds a turn, 6-4 Slick & quick duck!
Back to neutral, Washington tries a duck, nothing & goes back to the head taps
Lucas shoots, Washington sprawls back, Lucas keeps coming, they're scrambling & Lucas gets an exposure and comes around for the TD, but only gets 2, not sure what the call was, but now it's 8-4 Lucas.
Refs at the table discussing things now. I thought that should have been a TD & exposure for Lucas.
There we go, I think that's what happened, because now it's 10-4 Lucas
1:04 left, restart
Circling, Washington shoots, drives Lucas out of bounds, 10-5, sounds like they're calling it caution +1 too, 10-6

Somewhere, Carter Starocci is pleased.
I could see Arnold having an Ethan Smith type career.
They’re so starved for a contender who weighs more than 10 English Stones that they’re building him up so much despite some clear limitations
