Getting ready to roll here in a few hours.... Best regular season tournament of the year.... anybody got picks going for a/all weights? Two wrestlers who I think will turn some heads this weekend are two Oregon kids .... Lamer and Harvey.

GO BEAVS!!!

Probably should make sure the grandparents from both sides are there as well for the eye ball test...or at least have them fill out a stat sheet.

What protocol do you use for that? Ask for their genetic test at the first home visit or wait until after they sign the NLI?

It's the Pac-6 ..... or the 6-Pac.

Your posts had the same time on them.

Did they give away the destination of Buchanan?

You change your mind very quickly.

Pre-seeds are out.... 184 looking tough... https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/9600693-2022-cliff-keen-las-vegas-invitational-preseeds

I think he is 20 if I remember correctly..... so their next NCAA champ could come in 2029 if he gets all of his shirts in order.

I like Soldano...but saying he is 100% going to be #7-#8 at the NCAA after losing to #6 Trey Munoz is not how it usually works.

Doesn't he have to redshirt this year if he is in the portal now? I echo the sentiments that it's too bad for Branch... He seems to have done a great job coaching him. Is this NIL motivated? If so we might see an announcement VERY soon from Iowa the team he transfers to.

I can think of a few people who will definitely bat an eye if he goes from finalist to DNP.

Why is your answer to , "you haven't watched him then" a link to an Iowa forum? Have you actually watched? .He didn't look better against Elam or Penn.... he looks to be further away from a national title than he was last year. Obviously things can change, but based on what we have seen so far I would not pick him to make the finals.

Both appear to be 125 lifers at this point.... could change since they have some time. Someone better grow if they both end up at Mizzou.

To clarify, did Lee have both knees repaired? I know the first surgery was the beginning of January last year. and it went well. Did he have a second surgery on the other knee? If so, when? I would assume he is fully recovered from the first of the knee surgeries being 11 months out now.

Most people would say that the best Oregon State wrestlers of all-time is Les Gutches (2x NCAA champ, 1996 Hodge winner, World Champion), however it is probably Robin Reed, whose career has a lot of myth and legend attached to it. Reed went undefeated from 1921-1924 and won 3 national championships. He pinned his way though the 1924 Olympics to win the gold medal. He actually won the Pacific Northwest Olympic Trials in 4 different weights. It was said he could pin every wrestler on the olympic team including the heavyweight. Below is a link to his story. https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/29 http://oregonsportshall.org/timeline/robin-reed-wrestling/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Reed

On the Bader show in mid August he said he had not made any plans for visits and there were no top 5 at that point. I have not heard anything since. Technically ISU could be his only one lined up so far. I’m guessing PSU will be on that list. His main goal is to be an Olympic champ.

Krek will be the favorite for sure….but “multiple spanks” is not how I would characterize an OT match.

184 looks very competitive #2 Trent Hidlay ( #10 North Carolina State ) #3 Parker Keckeisen ( #25 Northern Iowa ) #4 Kaleb Romero ( #3 Ohio State ) #6 Trey Munoz ( #30 Oregon State ) #7 Jonathan Loew ( #4 Cornell ) #8 Hunter Bolen ( #6 Virginia Tech )#10 Matt Finesilver ( #8 Michigan )

6 top 10 guys... that's going to be a great quarterfinal round.

It's going to be a good one. Best tournament outside of B10 conference and NCAA? Going to be some great matchups. https://cklvwrestle.com

Interesting... Thanks for the work on this!

Gave them a good start.... but Penn could sneak up on them the second half... 2 bonus points at 125 big for Penn.

Wow... thought he would be out longer.
