CKLV

[JBluegill133 290]

157 Pounds

1. Hayden Hidlay, NC State
2. Ryan Deakin, Northwestern
3. David Carr, Iowa State
4. Kendall Coleman, Purdue
5. Will Lewan, Michigan
6. Justin Thomas, Oklahoma
7. Ke-Shawn Hayes, Ohio State
8. Jacori Teemer, Arizona State
9. Peyton Robb, Nebraska

 

How do we see this shaking out? I think Hidlay is going to walk away with the title (no surprise there) It's his title to lose (same with NCAA) but will Carr get past Deakin?  I am all aboard the Carr train this year and was impressed with him over Iowa and still think we haven't seen him full force yet. Deakin has the experience and early season he has always looked unbeatable...and then he fizzles come March (hopefully not this year!)   The FRL guys are all about Kendall Coleman but I haven't seen him compete much so I will have an alert going for his matches, Lewan hasn't had the juice just yet this season but here is a great opportunity for him to make a statement and as always Teemer is just dangerous.  Him at the 9 does not speak to his ability at all.

Agreed. Hidlay should win this.  Deakin has upside, so he might have narrowed the gap on Hidlay.    I could see Yapoujian sneaking on the podium.

Seb is heading to Puerto Rico for their trials.

So as he is making 57 kgs there do you think he will come back at 125 for the remainder of the NCAA season or do you think he will stay up at 133?

[goheels1812 676]

I actually think Kendall Coleman may be able to give Hidlay a tough match if they meet in the tourney. His height, length and explosiveness remind me of a young Larry Early, who also gives Hidlay tough matches. That’s one I’ve got circled if it ends up happening.

One of my most anticipated weights for sure.  Hidlay/Deakin/Carr in some order seems like the obvious result. I'll take Deakin to win it but I'm not confident.

Between Coleman, Lewan, Teemer, Robb, in addition to Carr, there is a ton of young talent in this bracket.  Any of those guys could make a push to the finals on the right day.

Looks like Sasso will get another shot at Moore if they both win their first matches.

141 ain't too shabby. if they make finals, does Pletcher repeat recent victory over Demas? 

Wesley Dawkins watch out for him!

I don't think it was a good move. IMO he didn't look great against UNI. I don't know why they would hurry him out like they did. There was plenty of season to get him in some opens first before making that decision.

...and that’s why they pulled his red shirt,  6-1 over Lamont 

[Antitroll2828 1,024]

Koontz beat Kramer 

[steamboat_charlie v2 1,181]

So... is Lovett good or is Lamont bad right now?

[klehner 762]

Pletcher gave up 1:43 in RT?  Again, not looking great at the end of the match.

Awesome. I still don't see the hurry.

He’s the best in the room at that weight

Another minor upset: Jack Medley just took out Camacho of N.C. state (4 seed). I’ve seen Medley a few times this year and have been impressed each time.

I gotchya man and see your point . I think there is a good reason you see Iowa and PSU not entertain the idea of burning the shirt until after Christmas.

Brooks graduated in 2018, not 2019. Pretty big difference.

Was getting 3rd at CKLV the goal for him this year? The dude has to go through the Big 10 schedule, the Big 10 tourney, and NCAAs yet. 

[WF89 109]

Cael has started numerous true freshmen from the beginning of the season (Megaludis, Alton, Suriano, Retherford).  Brands has wrestled exactly 1 true freshman, 2 if you count Burak.

 

pulling a redshirt on a kid like Lovett is not out of character for Manning and I think it’s the right move for his program.

Its not out of character, but as feeble minded message board warrior, I question whether some of those in the past were the right call either. 

[WF89 109]

Think of it this way, Lovett can make 133 this year.  Next year he can redshirt behind Red at 141 and the take over after CR graduates.

Cael Sanderson spoke in the pre dual meet interview as much as he will ever on this subject. He said that PSU "needed" another scorer this year, so he felt that pulling Brooks' shirt now was the best approach. He also said Rasheed and Conel are at 197 and hopefully PSU will have a high scorer there.

This is not lost on me either.

Could be wrong but I feel like there weren’t as many MFF’s at CKLV this year compared to last year?
