Big match up now between Burnett and Kenny. Should be good

Burnettt on fire. Just putting it on Kenny. He seems to have separated himself from the rest of the guys at his weight. Burnett up 12-1 in the second! Burnett wins 13-1. Absolute beatdown. 3tds, 2 nearfall, an escape, and riding time. Iowa fans must be thrilled after that match
Gonna be hard to keep him out of the line up next year at 133.

Boring match between Sidun and Sanchez. It’s been probably 4 minutes of Sidun working from a front headlock. No one even close to scoring. In OT tied 1-1. Probably heading to tiebreakers. Sanchez wins in tiebreakers but I thought Sidun should’ve gotten back points in sudden death. I’m a bit surprised that Sanchez was better on the mat. I thought Sidun would have the advantage there

Iowa getting a preview of the next generation of beatdowns.
Do you think they claim Bassett as a former Hawkeye since he was committed there at on time? He's about the only wrestler associated with them that's looked good in the past couple of months.

Miller beats Howard 10-3. Super tight match until Miller hit a beautiful collar and ankle straight to Howard’s back. Ended up going from 2-1 to 9-1 in one sequence. Pretty good showing from Howard I thought even though the score wasn’t super close

Burnett wins OW. Definitely deserved. He looked incredible. Keeps jumping levels
I would have given it to Mangano. Burnett did what was expected, beating up a vastly inferior opponent. Mangano's upset was more impressive to me.

Dube keeps improving at a crazy rate. Outstanding athlete. That was an excellent match. No shame in the result for Shepherd. I think he’ll have a ton of success at college Opens this year.
Is Dube's brother the Dube that was a State Qualifier for General McLane this year?

Flo had Burnett at #4 P4P with Kenny at #8. I admittedly haven't followed either of them closely, but Kenny being #8 P4P in the nation doesn't seem to me like he is "vastly inferior". Now if the goal is to irritate Iowa fans by that description of Kenny:

I think Blaze is a 141. Ono if he's eligible then he's probably the guy . Desmond vs Burnett next year at 133 would be a battle
I hope so. Going back and watching Desmond vs Bartlett and Manville at 65KG, it’s a tough ask for Nate. He’s barely a 133 at his frame. Wouldn’t even rule out a loss to Herring up at 141.
