Classic. That is a serious drop.
I wonder how they can recruit, and when they will start to understand why that doesn't work especially in March? I don't know if it is arrogance or stubbornness to ignore what works for Cael.
Would love to leave a few fresh pizza boxes or some KFried buckets outside of their room with a fan, wafting in the aromas, but why help them out.
Wittlake was a 197 Target for us. I am shocked he is running at 74kg and has any gas tank at all. He has no business under 184. With the new transfer rules sooner or later some blue chipper is going to say 'enough of this noise'.
To each his own and who am I to question the likes of JS, but... the results speak for themselves, over the past half decade at least. They have had some loaded teams that have underperformed.
Technically if Dake goes up, wouldn't he have to beat Taylor for the spot? Assuming of course Taylor has the spot & medals at Worlds this year.
Dang. Hoffman gets teched in the first period by Jessen. Tough tournament for the buckeyes so far.

False. He was always a 174 recruit, maybe 184 in time -- "the senior out of Oregon projects as a 174/184 on the next level."

There's a very obvious reason Wittlake is cutting to 165: he wants to wrestle this year, and Joe Smith failed at that same weight in March.
Come to Oklahoma. We are not noted for good local cuisine. You won't want to eat anyway, so may as well have you drop 2 weight classes....
Not sure how the Olympic Trials will work next year, but I know it is not the same as this year. Not sure if DT medals this year if he gets a bye to the Trials finals or not.
Pretty sure they announced a week or so ago that returning medalists this year at Olympic weights get a bye to OTT finals. Returning medalists at non-Olympic weights will get a bye to the Semis of an olympic weight. There won't be a separate Final X event, though, for those finals.
Edit yup:

I would hope that you would have some awesome steakhouses, that alone might be worth the trip for me.
Thanks for that. My memory seems a little loose I thought he decommitted soon after we landed Beard with the speculaion they would battle for 197. I don't think we had landed Brooks yet either, but enough said there, the grass looked greener for Wittlake elsewhere.
Now the grass looks 'leaner', get that pun I put in there
Tough day in General for Ohio State
Not sure either Nova, but by rights, it should be Taylor who sits, as Dake will be surrendering his reign at 79 to test David (again) at 86.
RD, not sure what you’re implying,but depending on if Dake jumps or drops (has he EVER cut???) one of either Nolf or Taylor will have to beat Dake in 2020, agree??
Got reversed with a headlock and stuck. Was odd. Mossing obviously a tough out, though.
Of course there were additional factors, but Marsteller left and became a 2 time AA when not sucked down to a soul sucking 157.

I remember it as,basically,getting Brooks healed our wounds from Wittlake leaving and getting Beard healed our wounds from whiffing on Hoffman
Sumpin tells me we made out on both
JB isn’t getting any younger.
I would expect Dake to drop to 74.
Having Dake, DT and Cox all going 86 for USA in OTT would be a shame.

PSU didn't whiff on Hoffman. Hoffman desperately wanted to go to PSU. When Beard decommitted from Northwestern ( I believe)…...PSU went after and got him.…...which left the waiting Hoffman & father quite upset.
Yes, I agree that someone will have to beat Dake. I only meant that DT would be the "challenged" not the "challenger." On the mat DT would still have to win the matches but in a technical sense Dake would be the challenger. Of course if Cox would also go at 86 I guess it would be possible that DT & Dake never meet.
They’ve always got the Covelli Center to talk up as the twitter account is pretty reticent about today’s action
Yes, that's when Papa Hoffman threw a hissy fit and tossed all his PSU gear in the dumpster.
^^ This is what happened. Cael chose Beard over Hoffman.
Both committed in May 2017, Beard 10 days earlier -- 5/17 vs. 5/27.

there is an all star team of whiffs Cael made in recruiting....only to be outdone by the team trophies he won with the kids he didnt whiff on.

Cael is a genius. Getting Beard and Brooks instead of Wittlake and Hoffman looks better every day. I live in OR and love Wittlake but Brooks has blown by him. Not really even close anymore in my eyes. Hoffman is good and probably a multiple time AA but I think Beard can be a multiple time NCAA champion
Disrespecting their recruiting title. Shame on you!
This.
Not going to name names of “missed” (passed over) recruits, but Cael’s batting average is well over .500.
Could be well over .750.
Tuma tech'd Verk 8-0
RBY tech'd Teague Travis 10-0, into Challenge Tourney Finals against the 3 seed Jamie Hernandez (UNC).

My lawn mower has a bigger gas tank than Jacori teemer just had. Bryton Lee wins 12-9
True. Teemer was up 7-0. Lee scored the next 12.
Manville just almost drove that guy thru the mat...
I don't know my greco holds, but Manville just violently 'pancaked' (bull rush) Hope for 4 to take the lead, but Hope still taking injury time after. Mason up 5-3 w/ 1:30 remaining.
. . . And that's the final score.
. . . And that's the final score.
Among redshirts Teemer and Sasso get all the pub but Brayton Lee is the real deal as well. He's gonna be really good for the gophers.
Teemer dropped from 70kg to 65kg this week. Clearly the 11lbs was the weight of his gas tank.
