Some interesting coach pairings.
Blaze has his club coach + Gilman.
Welsh has KD + Varner.
Dake has Cody + Zain.
Blaze has his club coach + Gilman.
Welsh has KD + Varner.
Dake has Cody + Zain.
I guess 2 takeaways
1. Parker couldn’t take Welsh down
2. Optics but Welsh won’t be a small 184

Good showing for Welsh. No real offense but I didn’t expect much against Keckeisen. His defense is legit though
Welsh is damn hard to score on. The question to date is - Does he have enough offense from neutral to score against top opponents?

Gross has looked good lately. Super tough match for Blaze but one I think he pulls out
Round 7 or 8 of BB vs Mendez? I expect another close one. LL and MM should cruise but Monday is a tough out
Very interested to see if Keck can do anything against Dake. I don’t think so but will be fun to watch
Snyder with a first period tech
When's the last time Welsh gave up more than 1 takedown in a match?
His largest margin of defeat his freshman year was 3, but even that was deceiving because it was 4-1 SV against Ruth. Even Starocci was only able to muster 1 takedown in 14 minutes of wrestling.
Dude is as good as it gets defensively. Expect a lot of close matches next year. He and Ferrari should just start in OT.
Headline reads…Tinker Toys with Feldman!
McC never beating LL again!
I wonder if anything was holding Carter back during that tournament?
You realize as of this moment he is Ryan trained?
"Cael trained" won't count until at least November.
Funny, I think Rocco does. Lol
If we only had a fully committed board regular both willing and able to make an unwavering effort to get Forrest to PSU I think we would've had a chance.
And they definitely spent a bunch of $ on it . So embarrassing for the sport it's 2025 and they put out that 🤣
You were task with bringing him to PSU
Keckeisen clearly controlled the match, the only time he came close to scoring a TD actually is when Rocco grounded himself so he won't give up the pushout and could get his shot clock point, he would never do that in folk. That being said, I imagine nobody thought he would be at Parker's level today (at least I hope not)
Good news though, Parker isn't at NCAAs anymore! But Rocco needs at least develop at least go to attack that works against top guys, I trust he will in this room with these partners!
