I've never been not a Verk fan, but now I'm much, much more of a fan.

Not the US Open and not a PSU commit, but Matt Lee is registered at 70KG for Flonationals (Junior Division). Junior FS starts a week from today.

Matt makes finals and loses to Luchau 2-1. Nice job, Matt.

 

[CropDuster507]

These Open/JR brackets are gnarrrrrrrrrly.

Back up to El Jefe's post:

Matt makes finals and loses to Luchau 2-1. Nice job, Matt.

What was he wrestling in? Not Flonats? Pan Am trials?

 

[zzs006]

What was he wrestling in? Not Flonats? Pan Am trials?

He was competing in the Jr. division of Flonats. Had a great tournament. Luchau is very good.

 

[Foreverinbluejeans57]

Any scoop on Hall and Cenzo?

 

[caliPSUfan]

On the inside trip podcast, Cenzo said himself that he was taking a break and likely wouldn’t be competing in the upcoming freestyle events

 

[Str8DBLz]

This is for Mr. Brooks, or anyone else who might know. Because Aaron won the silver at last year's junior world's does he still get the buy into the WTT's finals? Would that make his entry into the US Open just for the competition or do returning medalists no longer get byes to the finals?

Juniors have to win the open to get the WTT bye, I wish the world medalist got the bye, then he could wrestle seniors at the open for the experience.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Experience?? if the boy wants experience, get him to Lorenzo ,STAT

[STAND with PRIDE]

Joe Lee at 74 kg?? Rut-roh

 

[dunkej01]

Joe Lee at 74 kg?? Rut-roh

? 165 always seemed to be the plan, no?

157 spoken for...he RS this upcoming year, Cenzo SR year and then he and manville figure it out.

or did I misunderstand your Rut-roh?

 

[funkisfun12]

Joe Lee at 74 kg?? Rut-roh

Where would you expect him? That's 163 pounds.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Ok good, had my conversion inversion mistakenly identified

 

[nerfstate]

I missed it but Colon beat world champ Bonne Rodriguez from Cuba this am 9-3 in his round robin bracket

 

[Chickenman Testa]

 

[07mantle]

Juniors
57 Brody Teske
61 RBY
70 Brian Borden, Paul Fiete
74 Joe Lee
79 Aaron Brooks
92 Michael Beard
125 Seth Nevills

does that put to rest the idea that Teske can't make 125 lbs?

 

[rmg78]

No Brady Berge?

 

[CholleyVandine]

Preseeds are out. It’s weird seeing Nolf as the 4th seed (and I’m guessing James Green would rather see him as the two or three)

[tikk10]

Virginia Tech coach Jared Frayer is going at 74kg as a result of a bet he made with Mekhi Lewis. He's seeded 8th; if preseeds hold he'd face IMar in the quarters.

 

[El-Jefe]

McKenna finally lost the Avoid Zain Wrestle-Off.

 

[El-Jefe]

More seriously, from the same weight: Frank vs. Yianni in the quarters.

 

[diggerpup]

Anyone with a good memory??

In which of these 3 tourneys are the finals “Best of 3”?

U.S. Open - a single final match ?

WTTs - I cant remember if 1 or 3 in finals.

Final X - obviously Best of 3.

WTT's and Final X - Best of 3

Zain vs McKenna semi? I would think he would be good with this

 

[Hoosier Lion]

I feel sorry for the seeded wrestler who draws Nick Lee.

 

[diggerpup]

Anyone ever state why Mark Hall is skipping the Open ??

Think he’ll enter WTT ??

 

[Dogwelder]

Angry_whatever knows all about it.

 

[dmm53]

Hall isn't qualified yet for WTT since he didn't win NCAAs. If he doesn't wrestle at the Open and finish in the top 7 (or is it 8?), he will need to enter the the Last Chance tournament (or whatever they are now calling it) in order to qualify.

If he doesn't compete in either, he won't be in the mix. Who knows; maybe his plan is to wrestle in the U23s this year. (Isn't he 22 years old?)

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Nolf’s buddy Todrank is registered for Women's 65kg

Only a few days away from the US Open and the most interesting thing going on here is the tremendous discussion of Bo's new logo.

Anyone have any thoughts or picks for who is going to win the Open?

I think Bo wins 92. I don't see based on the pre-seeds who is beating him. That would put him in the WTT finals against someone that he probably beat in the Open which would then get him to Elite X vs. Cox.

Zillmer is solid and experienced. No one else can touch Bo, but that one could be close.

I’m most jazzed to see if Jason has solved his Green puzzle yet. I’m thinking yes.

Would love to pick Zain, but think he might need one more year in his “slimmer” body to beat JO, and the rest of that bracket is a wildcard.

never mind.
