Ryan Vulakh and Cody Harrison both at 70Kg Jr FreeStyle. The article omitted their names.
Especially interested in seeing Vulakh back on the mat for the first time in a while.
Ditto. I've been eager to see him in action... or just read about it.
Friday is only Greco and Women's Freestyle, so none of the RU guys will be wrestling until Saturday morning.

McDermott took way too many shots without his hips underneath him. I know all too well how that ends. Not going to take a bigger man down shooting like that. Needs more movement in the hand fight as well. Too many collar ties and no foot movement following.
On the other hand, MVB looked great and got the tech in 30 seconds.
I saw it further up on the board, but the one I’m most excited to see is, a now healthy, Ryan Vulakh. The coaching staff is very high on him. Hoping to see a lot of promise out of him this weekend.
MVB is a stud in freestyle. He took down Kevin Jack, Ashnualt's old nemesis, a few years back.
Aguilar wins by tech in the 2nd. Looked much better this match. Much more aggressive.

Certainly didn't expect that from him. Happy to see both him and Aguilar bounced back after terrible first matches.
For sure, but McDermott and Aguilar were both sluggish and frankly lazy in their first matchups. It appeared they weren't ready to wrestle and it showed. Matchups play a huge part of the end result but based on what we saw intially, they weren't beating anyone with those efforts.
Yeah, not a great showing for him. It's obvious why Goodale called him out about getting in better shape.
Besides MVB, have any of the Wrestlers today had a match at the NCAA Championships?
I like Aguilar and MVB but both are long shots to all american, much less medal at the U23/Junior Championships.
Shawver looked impressive in his opening round matchup as he gets the first period tech.
Had their opponents? I don't know - am asking. I do think Aguilar has a shot if he keeps showing year over year improvement. I hope he does.
No one at the U-23 has wrestled an NCAA tournament match(MVB has not yet). With the guys that were there today, not really sure why some are surprised by the results. Only one I am a little surprised was Aguilar, who lost to two back ups and Aguilar has alot of Freestyle experience.
