'25 Bill Farrell Memorial Tournament thread
- Thread starter kadeeu
- Start date
On the Bill Farrell web site Ono is on the entry list at 57kg, but he is not currently in the bracket. Did he withdraw or not make weight?
At 97Kg, a Morales is entered. Must be Lisa’s brother.
Lots of options outs it looks like including Ono. Kasak is in. On same side of the bracket as Henson for a possible semi.
Should we read into Kasak’s participation as an indication that he is redshirting?
It's looking that way.
Melvin Miller vs Ian Parker first round. Parker has turned into a fairly elite freestyler. Huge test for Melvin
Bartlett is a first period winner by tehcnical fall 12-2.
Experience of Ian Parker a little too much for Melvin Miller. Parker wins 10-4. Miller going to be special.
Kasak ragdolls Clark for 10-0 first period tech.

For those who know both styles.......is Bartlett better at Free than Folk?
Generally, yes. U23 Bronze, a whisker from beating Nick Lee at WTT.
idk. ask his wife
Looks like some ridiculous easy competition here.
I thought Melvin Miller looked huge.
Lots of growth ahead it seems.

we will never know since Bartlett mostly wrestled freestyle when he was wrestling folk!-
That’s a pretty good win. Ybarra was a pretty good recruit and he’s had a couple years in the Iowa room. Not sure if that’s a plus or minus at this point though
Bartlett smoked Happell, has Bassett in the finals most likely
Have you considered the possibility that the regression begins when a recruit chooses Iowa. The mindset is already limited and then the physical and emotional beatings just accelerate the process. Perhaps the best chance of succeeding at Iowa is to take the cash and then try to ignore all the rest and proceed to practice what they already have learned.
