This Turi dude is no wimp. Very good wrestler

Turi went S7-S7-S3 at states for West Scranton, losing in his JR year to Dalton Perry.

Then he was a national finalist for Wyoming Seminary, losing in OT to 2x champ Charlie Desena, now at Penn.

Turi was committed to Cornell. Good pickuo for Stutzman.

The first 5 matches have 1 of every kind of result. A fall, tech fall, major decision, regular decision, and a loss. That probably doesn’t happen often in the first 5 matches

Yes Sir. Definitely needs to work on conditioning. Was 1 TD away from a Tech Fall. Could have been emotions.

Adrenaline dump likely ?

I love what I am seeing at Bloomsburg. They're going places. Every one of them has come here to wrestle. Turi is the best one I think, that kid is going to make some noise. Nice win by Tyler, although it won't show up that way to the general public.

Lost in all of the Ono gassed talk:

He led 18-5 after the 1st.

Meh...I see Ono gassing the same way I saw Bassett gassing in his first match. When you have guys as active as those two are in their very first college matches, gassing a bit in match that goes the distance is probably more expected than not...

Ono is going to get in the best shape for his life by the end of the year. Great first match for him. Looked like he had fun out there. Such a cool thing we get to follow all year.

Can you imagine how much better Ono will be for Japan if he gets that Amercanized gas tank? Dayummmmm...

I'm thinking his opponent is pretty good, especially neutral defense. He also has a few matches under his belt, whereas Kasak just got his first live match in quite awhile. Kasak also absolutely dominated him in the 2nd. I think he'll be ok.

Scoring last-second takedowns is a well-documented concussion symptom.

Schwarz was just 150 straight wins from surpassing Sanderson. So close he could taste it. But Duke puts an end to the dream.

Looks like Mesenbrink made his singlet from his old curtains

Mr. Chris · 2026-11-12T19:07:28-0600

I think every time someone types concussion and Kasak from this point forward they should have to give themselves a swirlie.

What’s Mitch weighing in at? Idk if I could tell you he put on 1 lb from last year just looking at him.
