I thought psu would take 5 take to the finals. I never thought Haines would get there though. VanNess was close too. They know how to recruit. It’s too bad they can’t get a 125 pounder to stick around. I heard they got a 4x Michigan state champ to commit for next season.

Hard to believe that Bravo-Young went down.

After Spenser Lee got beat (pinned) I guess anything could happen.
Fact is, the skill set in Collegiate wrestling today is the highest it's ever been. Nobody is unbeatable and it's a great time to be a fan of the sport.

What is your guys thoughts on Lee dropping out of the tournament after being upset? He has been the face of college wrestling the last 5 years. I was disappointed. I was hoping he would come back and pin his way to a 3rd place finish.

..I think Noto worked on his knee good...he put a lot of pressure on it.

 

[limbhnger10]

...Got to hand it to Ramos for being on his toes for catching and overpowering Spencer. Spencer just didn't seem to have the normal hip/lower body movement/power he normally has.

 

[beavsteve]

He won a national championship with two tore up knees before. I think he just got caught. I guess I didn’t think that he may have been hurt. Kervliet definitely was hurting. He didn’t wrestler well at all. After watching this years tournament I’m not sure anyone is going to win 4 championships again. Diakomihalis was hanging on by a thread. If that match went another 30 seconds sasso would have won.

Everyone seems to have "upped" their games. Very enjoyable to watch. Toughest kids on earth!!!

Lots of Pa. boys there regardless of the team. Ole Levi is going to be fun to watch for years to come.

One things for sure, all there wrestlers win or loose show class, dignity and are respectful not like Spencer who acted like a two year old, he shamed an unbelievable career in 10 minutes. The University and their crybaby lunatic coach made it all the worse with that fake excuse for not showing his face at the final to support his teammates...sad he would choose to end a brilliant career like that...and from here on every time gets mentioned people will ask "did you see his mother's temper tantrum " not his amazing accomplishments....thankfully RBY didn't act like that....no wonder he didn't get a look from PSU...

 

[fall gobbler]

I've never seen or heard Lee conduct himself any way but respectful in all the years following him. I did see him overcome a whole host of injuries with a toughness many of us can only imagine.
You don't think he got a look from Cael?
