RB... I couldn't watch it live OR stream it live but I was messing with the You Tube channei Monday night and searched "wrestling-Ohio State vs UNC " and voila! there it was. You were correct about how the Smith match went. He was so dominant I thought maybe this wasn't the nationally ranked UNC...
Like you pointed out in an earlier thread Ethan Smith appeared to be totally gassed in his first match. Boy did he make up for it against Lautt! Threw him to the mat about 6 times in 2nd per.and rode him out. Definitely the performance of the night although Mendez' fall was against a ranked...

Lots of success at the MSU Open. Guys were more aggressive on the rides with more than a few using tilts to get back points. Also improvement team-wide on escaping the ride. Of course better competition next week (VPI) will reveal just how much improvement there is. Watch out for Mendes though...
Feldman will only wrestle unattached this year...Tater will be the man one more season. He put on an additional 40 lbs this offseason but it's not fat. He looks like he means business.
Acc. to Bucknuts board several recruiting visits this last weekend were top 50 middle weight and Greco world champion Joel Adams and cadet Fargo national champion Bekhruz Sandriddinov (class of '24 from Pa, goes around 155-160#). Adams goes 135-140# and went to h.s.in Nebraska (grad. this past...
Ohio State will be wrestling in the Journeymen Wrestling Duals in New Orleans on Dec. 19-20th. There will be 4 pools with 3 teams in each pool. Day#1 Buckeyes will square off with Lock Haven at 12pm and Northern Iowa at 2pm. Pool championship is the next day at 5pm vs. the winner of Cal Poly...
Looks like Coach Ryan is already planning for Sammy Sasso's replacement, although Gavin Brown may also contend at 149. Also smart of Coach to "get in the door" at h.s. powerhouse Brecksville. Acc. to Flo Wrestling Brock Herman is ranked 8th at 145 for this coming season and is #29 on the overall...

Hoffman...#7
Orndorff...#7...
Great experiences for the two OSU incoming freshmen as Bouzakis went 2-2 and Feldman finished 5th. Bouz actually wrestled better than his final results as IMO he got screwed by the ref in a really close match, but then again I'm no expert on freestyle. He did have two awesome falls in the...
The two OSU recruits at Fargo this weekend were Kilkeary and Welsh from Pa. Vinnie Kilkeary finished 7thin the 120# class and Rocco Welsh made the final
round before losing to Penn St. recruit Josh Barr at 170#.
Former Ohio state champion Garett Lautzenheiser has transferred from West Va. to Ohio State according to the Canton Repository. He started as a freshman last season and went 7-14 in the tough Big 12. 133# weight class. Won state at Louisville H.S. in 2019 and was rated #1 in 2020 but Covid...
Poster at Ohio Wrestling.net saying Gonzalez has won the championship at 57kg and Bouzakis beat PSU's Wil Betancourt 10-0 to win 61kg, using the Steiber "gut wrench". Logan was there in a coaching role Yes, that's the same Betancourt who wrestled at OSU last season and transferred this off...
The U20 freestyle Pan American Championships started today in Mexico and 3 Buckeyes are in action (Info from teamusa.org). At 57 kg is Andre Gonzalez who was runnerup in qualifying but for whatever reason got the spot. Nic Bouzakis is going at 61kg and Nick Feldman at 125kg. Great experience...
