Michael Priore

@BrosandThrows @njaysr Just 17 and already a beast. I maybe biased but I agree. Huge upside with Jayden!!!

It is hard for me to say this with all the guys Cael has brought in over the years. But I think this kid might be the BEST. AND HES YOUNG. He isn’t a 19 year old going to be a 20 year old and still in HS.

@ScottyMc71 @adamtirapelle @carterstarocci Sounds good. Hopefully you will give me credit when I am right.

@MichaelPriore @adamtirapelle @carterstarocci I’m going to bookmark this just in case.

Within 2 years is my opinion. But their upper weights suck. So probably not actually. Those 3 true freshman are lethal though.

@ScottyMc71 @adamtirapelle @carterstarocci That is correct. I don’t think they will win in the next three years.

@MichaelPriore @adamtirapelle @carterstarocci Just so I’m clear you don’t think OSU will win in the next 3 years?

@ScottyMc71 @adamtirapelle @carterstarocci Scott, I don’t say they weren’t coming. They are on the way up. I just don’t think they beat PSU before their current freshman class graduates.

@MichaelPriore @adamtirapelle @carterstarocci All those #1 seed and 1st and 2nd round bonus points were the difference. OSU is coming. Keep doubting

@adamtirapelle @carterstarocci 2028 might be closer but I still think it favors PSU then.

@MichaelPriore @carterstarocci Next year is 2027. I see next to zero chance anyone wins but Penn State. 2028 is two years away.

@NoBickal @Iron_Eagle_5 I said that. Need to add vegas, Nashville and Charlotte to the rotation, keep Kansas City. Dallas would also be an Interesting location. Get rid of St. Louis.

They should do NCAA’s in Vegas at T-Mobile arena. Would be electric.

@adamtirapelle @carterstarocci Maybe. But it isn’t like PSU doesn’t have reinforcements on the way. we need to consider OSU wrestled a near perfect NCAAs. Unlikely they can repeat that in its entirety next year. Jax and Vega will be tough outs but would you be shocked if Landon and Cody dont make the finals

@carterstarocci 2028 NCAA’s is where it will get interesting.

@adamtirapelle We also need to expand the locations and cities that host the event. Charlotte, Nashville and Las Vegas should all be on the list. Kansas City should remain in the rotation. St. Louis has to go.

NCAA Tournament Thoughts: -I can't imagine a single more impressive sporting event. It's a one of one. Truly the crown jewel of sports in so many ways. If there was ever a throwback to old school gladiators, this is it. Nothing is as long, grueling, electric and rewarding like the NCAA Championships. -Wrestling level improves every year. Incredible how close the 20 seed is to the 2 seed. Freshman are now more valuable than upperclassmen. Just wild how the sport evolves. -The video review pendulum has swung completely out of control. Needs a serious reeling in. Fewer challenges, no refs look at it themselves, etc. It's really killing the flow of matches. Wrestling is an intermediate sprint sport. Pace is such an important part of the excitement. -The rivalry is ON! Penn State is amazing and what they have done is otherworldly. But man, you just feel like for the first time in a while, wrestling from a team perspective could get really fun again. Just the animosity alone from the two fanbases is great for the sport. So while Penn State fans can bask in the glory of another title, 6 finalists, and a team point record, this feels like a turning point. Remember, big ships don't turn on a dime. They start with one small movement in different direction. I hope we can get some other teams into the mix as well. It's good for college wrestling. -There are some really great programs that will never compete resource wise with the top teams, but they deserve a lot of credit. Stanford actually, not Penn State, was the #1 outperforming team. Wyoming, Columbia, Princeton, American, etc. Well done. -I hope we're out of the COVID era completely now. Hoping to get back to 4th and 5th year kids wrestling in college. Turnover is good for the sport. -We are tapped out on growth from the Individual Championships. It can't get much bigger or better than it already is. I hope duals continue to grow and someday, we get a dual championship. Companies are always looking for growth opportunities. Sports should as well. Duals are ours. We have to continue to grow and promote duals.

@Benaskren @RoryKarpf Where can you watch it?

My friend @RoryKarpf made a sweet movie and it had a wild ending I never saw coming. Wife and I were yelling at the TV the whole time. Check out Grace Point!! 👊👊👊

@thomasgilmanusa Everyone would agree

Popular opinion: PJ Duke got screwed.

@MrPatMineo One of the worst calls in NCAA history. Guy gets out of a cradle because the ref awarded three and then was overturned. In my opinion you shouldn’t be allowed to challenge there. If it was the end of the period maybe. But not when there is 50 seconds left

Dang.

@MatScouts1 Hahaha. Everyone has an off day!

165 Finals by My Big Board #59-Mitch Mesenbrink vs #73-Mikey Caliendo i don't wanna talk about it

@dbeshada1 There are some positions when challenged that if you win you should have to go back tot hat position. The ref stops the match. They challenge win and duke loses a cradle. That doesn’t make sense

🎯

@VNcaas They are stupid. I would imagine a step out rule would eliminate them

I hate rideouts

@MatScouts1 @NCAAWrestling That can’t be allowed. If the match is going to be stoped there you have to go back to that position.

I have just lost all faith in @NCAAWrestling Wrestling officiating. utterly fucking awful. what the fuck is happening? Many times when i'm hard on officials i feel guilty. Never again. This is a fucking clown show.

@wrestlingnomad For getting bailed out by a ref who stopped the match when he was in a cradle? I would think duke finishes that 100/100. That was a terrible job by the official

Robideau absolute insane gangster for all of that

@TheGOATFollower He actually didn’t leave it in the hands of the ref. The ref got involved

It wasn’t a 3 but being called too soon screwed PJ Alas can’t leave it in the hands of the ref

@truewrestler1 The fact that you can stop the match with a cradle and then restart it is crazy.

@adamtirapelle @lovethefight I agree. Saw it in too many matches the last three sessions

You can’t let a guy back up to the edge repeatedly and not call stalling because he doesn’t go out of bounds. Do we have any traditional stalling anymore?

Mat Madness is ELECTRIFYING Penn State is UNSTOPPABLE #PMSLive
