>>>>>>>> Virtually every major program redshirts frosh on a regular basis. Even programs that don’t officially allow redshirts use greyshirts ( like cu) or prep years like Army and Navy. Bottom line, your average 5th year senior is stronger, more experienced and has 4 years of college coaching and d...

>>>>>>>> You are correct, Flo did have a BIG Ten deal to stream the B1G + wrestling matches——which were produced ( often with student announcers) by the B1G schools and streamed on B1G+. B1G+ covers a ton of sports but at lower production value than the their prime B1G Ten channel on cable. The B1G ...

>>>>>>>>> I agree 141 is currently wide open for EIWAs, but don’t agree with burning Crookham’s redshirt and pushing him up a weight is the way to go. Crookham has four year AA potential, give him time to fully develop and wrestle at his best weight. McGonagle really benefited from moving down to 13...

>>>>>>>>>>if you find access to the B1G + Midlands replays——please pass it along to the rest of us as I missed some of the Sat afternoon matches.

Flo has a sizable archive system, but didn’t stream the event ( just handled the brackets, etc via Track) so no Flo replays.

>>>>>>>>>>>Worth noting that along with Seymour, Crookham and Brignola placing at the Midlands, all three had upset wins (per a Flo article): Seymour 5-3 over # 17 Shawver (RU) Crookham 2-1 over #13 Heilmannn ( RU) Beignola 6-4 over #22 Hilligas (WV) The upset giant was Pirzer (PITT) with 3 upsets i...

>>>>>>>>Flo rankings for todays opponents are respectively #17, 10 and 22. Excellent challenges——-all three winnable, but all will not be surprised by any losses. Cannon ranked the highest of the three, but also several notches lower than Crookham’s in-room sparing partner McGonagle.

>>>>>>>>>Responding to 1/2 Nelson: Flo has Gracek ranked #5 PA AAA at 189 and shows him committing to Clarion. Flo has his SV opponent ranked #2 Pa AA with Rune Lawrence ranked #1. I’ll leave it to the more knowledgeable PA hs fans to unravel how various AA guys stack up vs AAA at each weight———-but...

>>>>>>>>Love Seymour’s motor and fight, but simply giving up too muck size and reach. Crookham has all the tools, had a dominant ride after his 1st period td, and beat a very tough guy. The negatives were taking too long to figure out how to work an escape and a lot time backing up in neutral. Match...

>>>>>>>Yep, I posted too soon as brackets changed again. Now showing Lawrence facing the #2 seed in his first 174 match. Brignola moves up to #9 seed. Will be an interesting test for all the Lehigh guys as the Midlands is still a tough challenge, but it isn’t the monster tournament of past years.
