Wasn't able to watch every match but a great day of wrestling nonetheless. Quick thoughts:
U23s
Wentzel had Jacori Teemer (this guy is as talented as they get) beat all match but lost it in the last couple seconds. Honestly wonder if he forgot it was freestyle for a second because he won the scramble but exposed himself and that cost him the match. Still alive in the consis, cruising so far
Nino/Micky in the quarters- nothing notable but they looked good
Kemerer also in the quarters, beat a solid guy (Turner) who is an NCAA qualifer
Harvey also in the quarters, none of the guys he beat stuck so Sunday will be a better indication
Meech is out I'm guessing he got hurt, no longer eligible to wrestle but is at the RTC. I thought his style would translate well to freestyle (his double would be 4 points a lot of the time) but so far results haven't been similar to how great he was the past two seasons
Juniors
Mathews in the quarters, very excited to see his match his Hillegas
Newell beat a solid kid but then lost to two studs
Burnett was solid, enjoyed watching him I can see him doing big things in the future, he is out now after losing to very good competition
Badgett in the quarters, beat a very solid kid from Lock Haven (Myers). He is probably the biggest takeaway from me from day one. I think we got a good one here
Michaels is out. I liked how he competed though
McGill still alive in the consis, not sure if freestyle suits him the best but i am looking forward to him if he can crack the lineup like i expect him to
Camacho is out, lost to a kid that Newell beat
Slinger certainly looks the part still alive in the consis, he got beat handily by Oklahoma kid
I didn't get to watch Cooley but he is in the Consis as well
There were a few more guys that I didn't touch on but that was the main points. For those who are not aware freestyle results don't necessarily translate over to folkstyle (for example Micky's riding ability is pretty much useless) so don't be alarmed at some results and also don't get too hyped over the positive news either. Was cool to see cool to see Pletcher coaching. Real big variance in talent as well. Lots of d2/lower level D1 guys and even some high level high school kids in this
