nice win for Meredith.. Jack was starting to separate himself into a tier right below Heil... Fix gonna be a force...How Ok State going fit all 3 lightweight of Picciniinii, Fix, and Brock next year.... I guess Brock would go 41

Yeah, maybe Midlands will be their wrestle off. Hard to believe a NCAA Champ can't crack the lineup especially at two different weights.
Even crazier was he was a freshman champ... so u would think he continues to get better..
To be fair to Tsirtsis, he won it as a Frosh, 3rd as a Soph, then his life was turned upside down. His sister was killed in a car accident, he has not been the same since. I am hoping he can get the 149lb spot and end his career on the podium.
Anyone notice how NC State's wrestlers are all tall and lanky (not all)? Was wondering what our "theme" is when we recruit? Iowa wrestlers, PSU wrestlers, NC State Wrestlers, OK State wrestlers seem to all be a certain "type"... outside of "tough".... do we have any keys which we recruit to?
I like PSU's "theme" get as many top p4p talent as possible....

LOL they tend to be guys who were aggressive in points scoring all throughout HS. Yes, a ton of P4P talent too lol
While the Heil v. Meredith match was the highlight, don't forget Wyoming also took out 2017 AA's Brock and Rogers.
The altitude seemed to affect OSU greatly. Most of the OSU wrestlers was sucking wind by the end of their matches. I think OSU actually had 3 AAs go down to unranked Wyoming wrestlers. Fun match to watch on Flo. Heck of a week for Meredith.
Dean Heil is average at best under the new scrambling rules. He can't dive at an ankle and roll to his back anymore like he could last year. He'll finish 4th at best this year.... Bryce, Jack, Yianni go 123 in no particular order.
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, I do not think it means what you think it means.
I get what you're trying to say though. I think Yianni will win it all this year.
I was thinking the same thing... the way Heil wrestles all the close ones he was bound to lose... it's really amazing to me how he won so many close ones and 2x champ already tho... what I said bout yianni being contender doesn't sound so crazy now lol
HAHAHA you're right. Average and making All American aren't at all congruent. I think he is just another Ok State all american under these rules, and not a champion. my bad!
I will say this... 141 is definitely going to be fun this March ;)
Really? Without Ash (or a RU wrestler in contention), I just don't care as much. Maybe MVB might make some noise come March.
Very good Flo podcast this week:

Hoping Ash can wrestle next year once this weight clears up. MVB filling in greatly. His win vs Iowa was very impressive
RU supporter first, but still a die hard wrestling fan. Tracking these guys the past several years with Ash it's hard to stop watching. Perhaps Heil goes down this year.
Gonna take awhile for JVB to adjust to the weight loss tho ...he bulked up to go 165 so going down now because of the RL debacle might be tough going at first.
RU recruit Kyle Lightner out for the season. Injured his knee during off season. Tough break. $$$$
Does anyone know if Van Brill is eligible to wrestle 157 at Midlands, should he make weight? I’m not all certain about the hydration rules and cutting weight in x amount of days.
Based on the link below he should be able to compete at 157. He last wrestled 165 (not sure what he actually weighed in at) on December 1st and can drop a little over 2 lbs a week.
