Hope the rumor is true. Gomez needs mat time.

I guess it is probably not a rumor, since Dresser said it the recently Weekly interview.

I would guess the only way it doesn't happen, is if he got dinged up this week

What’s the story with Kaden Sauer? Has he gone and wrestled any tournaments this year?

WrestleStat has him 2-0 with two wins over lower division guys at Harold Nichols but nothing after that.

Really weak tournament today if we’re being honest. The D-III teams don’t even have their starters listed on Track, including Whitewater.

Good to get these guys more matches, but I don’t expect to really learn anything today.

I am really interested in the Simmons/Gomez match.

I'm sure there are others, but of note I didn't see Dante or Coleman in the brackets. Would have been kind of interesting to see a Rodriguez-Leisure match.

I hope they let them wrestle it instead of a double forfeit or something. That would be very interesting.

Also, we could get a Gremmel vs. Trent Hillger match. He’s been at a lot of tournaments we’ve been at. Beat Harrington 3-1 and lost to Gremmel 4-2, both this season.

 

[BusterClone]

Well, Leisure is not getting much work today.

 

[cloneraslin]

I’m happy to see this many kids traveling and wrestling this late in the season. Something we didn’t see as much with the previous staff. Slowly building depth and some toughness!

Completely agree. Even if the field is not that impressive, it still gives our guys mat time. Also good for the sport and fun for the kids at the smaller schools to get their shot at a D-1 guy.

 

[buf87]

Gomez beat Simmons 6-4 Ot for 1st

 

[SouthJerseyCy]

Leisure won 149, DiBlasi won 157 with 4 first period pins, Brady Jennings majored Skyler St. Johns in the 165 final.

 

[buf87]

Swalla beat Entriken 3-2 in 174 final

 

[buf87]

McDowell wins 184 7-0

Guys who are redshirting have to wrestle unnattached and that means they have to drive themselves, pay their own entry fee, can't wear an ISU singlet, etc... Basically they aren't officially wrestling for ISU when they wrestle unnattached, they're just college kids who happen to want to go to a wrestling tournament. It allows them to wrestle in opens without using a year of eligibility.
