Ian Brown looked solid.  I'd like to see him go against Randy Cruz.

Huh, cool seeing an exhibition with Zach Rey! I hope more programs throw post college guys in for weights already decided, as an exhibition. Disappointing to see Peppelman lose.

Scott Parker and Ian Brown are both redshirting, right?

Clarion did the same. Don't see it happen much. http://board.themat.com/index.php?/topic/7717-clarion-blue-gold/

The Martinez/Peppelman result is an interesting one. They couldn't have had more different wrestling backgrounds heading into college and have taken vastly different routes since then, though both have ended up in the same place fighting for the same spot. Will be interesting to see what happens with 165/174 going forward. Doesn't seem like much of the PA folks gave Martinez a chance.

Pretty sure Parker is slated to start. Ian would have to beat Randy Cruz to take 141.

I think 125 was intended to be a Parker/Timchenko/Mele decision, and Brown is a planned RS.  I'd still like to see how Brown matches up against R. Cruz.

Even as a PA homer, I'm glad Martinez won. Shows what hard work can get you. He placed 5th and 3rd at Florida States, rather humble for the upper echelon of wrestling - then went on to be a bracket buster everywhere. Killed NCWAs, 4th at the US Open in Greco.. I'm sure no one saw that coming, let alone him apparently winning the spot at a decent Div.1 school. All the power to him.

Peppelman did not appear to wrestle any differently than he had at Cornell.  No real offense from neutral (or anywhere, for that matter).  He did have a possible late TD that may have been reviewable to send the bout into SV, but didn't request the replay.

 

I just hope the lack of offense was due to familiarity of a practice partner.

What weight is Minotti going when he comes back?  

[lu_alum 924]

HenDog, From what I understand, it's TBD.  I've seen discussion both ways (149 & 157)
