Collegiate Duals Mon 12/18

[TheJackWePack5]

Figure it’s time to fire back up the wrestling talk after a weeks hiatus.

Couple of really tough duals next Monday with Pitt and Cornell, and Little Rock has some solid tests in their lineup as well.

Pitt throttled Ohio State on Sunday, and Cornell has one of the most complete dual lineups in the country.

Pitt is a tricky dual in the sense that we're slight favorites in a lot of matches, but there are very few, if any, non-competitive matchups on paper. A couple slight upsets and it's a very close dual.

Cornell is loaded. There are so many interesting matchups there, with a Carr-Ramirez rematch, Shapiro-Chittum, Foca-Feldkamp, and an Ech-Cornella rematch

I would imagine we will bring a few back ups who will get mat time as well so that should be fun.

Most looking forward to Carr/Ramirez, but my gut tells me that won’t happen.

I think Cornell will want to win the dual. Do they have a backup that they think can prevent bonus?

I doubt it.

You’re right though. They’ll either want to win the dual or try and preserve 165 seeding.

Ducking matches sucks for the sport.

Gut feeling, but I think Ramirez will wrestle. Cornell doesn’t strike me as the type of program that ducks.

Wonder if we will see Euton at 165 for Little Rock.

Nasir Bailey v. Evan Frost will be a fun one to watch.
Bailey hasn't yet been tested as a DI wrestler, but he's handled the lower-ranked guys he's seen. Baily likes to put points on the board, so it should be a fun and active match.

Other than Bailey, Stephen Little at 197 is looking really tough. His only loss is to Buchannan of OK, and he solidly beat Jaxon Smith from Maryland earlier this season.

All three duals will be tons of fun to watch.

Really interested to see Shapiro vs. Chittum. Shapiro looked invincible in dominating Andonian (who pinned Chittum) but then he lost a couple of head-scratchers, one of them to Cardanes who Chittum probably should have beat. Not sure if Meyer got hurt later in the CKLV or what the deal was.

Journeyman will frown on teams ducking matches. I'm expecting 1's vs 1's in Pitt vs Cornell unless there are injuries.

 

[JM4CY]

It would shock me to my core if David lost to that smuck again. I would bet it’s closer to a major than anything.

 

[crablegs]

I think even if Ramirez ducks that Carr will end up with a better seed.

Carr will be Olejnik who beat Ramirez. Not to mention if Carr beats O’Toole he’ll be the 1.

 

[SimpsonCyclone]

David will beat the brakes off Ramirez (if he doesn't duck)

That took way more digging than I thought it would. Looks like it'll be on Flo: https://www.flowrestling.org/articl...ch-2024-iowa-state-vs-arizona-state-wrestling

One would sure think FLO or somebody would try picking that dual up.

ASU should be full strength by then.

I would imagine at least a handful of back ups would make the trip.
