Oklahoma State vs Penn State Projection
- Thread starter Ernst
- Start date
133 Jax 149 Vega 157 Robideau Hwt Ross would be favored currently. It probably ends up 7-3
I would say toss up at 157 and 285 . 7-3 probably close to dead on.
You need to show your work Ernst.
I've got 6 - LL, Blaze, PJ, MM, Rocco, and Barr that should be heavy favorites for the good guys and Jax over Ono for the Pokes. I'm gonna wait to see how Ono looks in folk though.
Vega over Van Ness is a tough one but let's give them that one.
Kasak v. Robideaux and Mirasola v. Ross would be must wins for the Cowboys to avoid the blow out.
As for bonus points, Mitchell should tech Facundo, it won't be pretty, and I know Barr beat Merrill by dec in the finals but I like bonus here as well. PJ should bonus Swid as well, likely by fall. On the other side, there is the Ono question for Jax and Vega could put SVN on his back. I need to see more of Mikey White and Dre Ross in a full season.
PSU 10-0 or GTFO! Ono packing up the funky string bean. SVN going to show Vega what rapid fire take downs are all about. Kasak going to hold Robleaudoua up in the air before he pins him just for showmanship.
Robideau would be a big favorite since they don't call take downs or back against him, Van Ness may be to strong for Vega, and Jax is Jax. 8-1 good guys with hwt a toss up. Also some bonus opportunities at 65,74,and 97. Ps i think vtech and meatchicken could give okla st a run for their money.
VA tech and Oklahoma st don't dual this year hopefully we see it at NDI
Exactly; a much more compelling dual! Or OKST vs Nebraska.
The better framing for this year is: can Oklahoma State finally defend their #2 finish. In the 20 years since their last title, they've finished 2nd only 3 times. Each of the first two times, they failed to defend and got beat out for 2nd.
Can the Pokies *finally defend their best finish in 20yrs and hold off challengers for the second-best team in the nation?
More importantly, what have you got for scores at Nationals?
Conservatively, I've got:
Lilledahl Spratley +10
Ono Forrest -12
Blaze Raney +12, I'm not as high on Raney as others seem to be
SVN Vega -6, I hope I'm wrong about this one.
Kasak Robideau -2
Duke Swiderski +12, can Swiderski hold up at this weight?
Mesenbrink Facundo/Norman +16, generous projection for Cowboys here
Welsh White +8, still uncertain about Mikey White
Barr Merrill +8
Mirasola Ross 0, push for now.
46 points between 1 and 2 in March

I am really interested to see how White develops this year, he put a beating on the Drexel kid and on Berge . Don’t see him breaking the top 4 but after that I think it is anything goes
I am not convinced Spratley wins the spot , this Zerkin kid looked good
He's got a long reach and strong arms to suck in the single legs. He looks like a very green Ed Ruth and DT could turn him into a great wrestler. He's only been wrestling for a few years and looks to have a lot of upside. If Lucas Cochran is fully recovered he'll be a good test for him on Friday but he's got a long way to go to challenge the top 4.
