and they dont even know the rules and point scoring
Arizona State dual 11/23
- Thread starter okokzach
- Start date
Fig is absolutely getting embarrassed in his return to ASU. Ramirez all the way going forward.
I'm good with that.
Figs looks like he’s done. He can get to legs but can’t finish or defend.
133 - Figueroa drops a 10-5 decision. Ive seen enough. Ramirez going forward.
22-6 oSu
22-6 oSu
Figueroa just isn’t going to work at 133. He really seems to struggle with the taller wrestlers. Seems like a broken record every match this season, quick takedown, then get pushed around all match.
Agreed. He's just outmatched at this weight. Larkin was huge in comparison
Manville is super tough. He wasn't too bothered by Vega's length, he's used to dealing with the Larkin bros. Good win for Serge
Yes, there's no need. I speak with his former coach all the time who says the issue is he's not a 33 pounder. But he's a 5th year senior. He should be able to wrestle competitively there.
Puzzling for a former #1 overall recruit and national champion.
Was driving and listening to the rest of the dual.
Vega beats Manville by decision, Sheets drops a decision.
25-11 oSu Final

Swid on the bench because he’s hurt, because he’s being taught a lesson, or to duck Larkin and save his seed at Big 12? I’m okay with the first 2, annoyed at the last.
Good questions. I'm curious as well. Add - did he not make weight? Because another poster said he was listed at 157 today. Is that correct?
Yes was listed at 157 he didn't weigh in at 149
I think yall need to get used to the backups getting more run with DT. Thats all most of this is.
Definitely some method to the madness, or else we’d also see Thompson, Travis etc. Assuming we’re trying to build confidence w Ryder. I would’ve had the same assumption for Swid but if that were the case, I’d have guessed he would have wrestled against AF. I’m sure it’s some combination of seeing what you have + keeping guys engaged + load management + everything else I’m too dumb to consider
Well ya I don’t think he is just picking names out the hat lol but I think we see it more and it doesn’t mean anyone is in the dog house or hurt etc.Definitely some method to the madness, or else we’d also see Thompson, Travis etc. Assuming we’re trying to build confidence w Ryder.

Agreed. Merrill is looking better all the time. When he has high energy and pace, he is a factor at this weight.
Competition level lower this weekend. Merrill is going to find it difficult to separate score against a tall lanky or beast of a brute top 15 wrestler. He faced both at NDI lost to the brute which will always be difficult if said wrestler refuses to shoot.
Any chance Robideau could go 49 and Routledge 57? I know John would find a way that doesn't mean it's a good way. I do trust the DT plan but trip Rs could be a fun lineup dont ya think?
He was 3-1 at NDI and barely lost to a guy that looks pretty good now.
Hes also beaten two other Top 25 guys…and seems to be finding a little groove.
Agreed. Manville is an AA contender this year. Solid in all positions and seems to have a good gas tank too.
Eh I don’t think so. Robideau’s doing great at 57 and Jamison should be back soonishAny chance Robideau could go 49 and Routledge 57? I know John would find a way that doesn't mean it's a good way. I do trust the DT plan but trip Rs could be a fun lineup dont ya think?
I'm just saying certain body types if they are top wrestlers will be more difficult with his shorter frame. Believe he had two very close matches NDI.
I guess that’s possible…Any chance Robideau could go 49 and Routledge 57? I know John would find a way that doesn't mean it's a good way. I do trust the DT plan but trip Rs could be a fun lineup dont ya think?
Robidoo is doing well, not sure I’d upset that but I also don’t know how easy that cut would be?
I do think Routledge needs to be in the lineup at least next year.
Injuries and performance aside. I expect our March lineup to be…
25-Troy
33-ronnie
41-Vega
49-Tagen
57-Robidoo
65-Dee
74-Facundo
84-Ryder
97-Merrill
285-Doucet
Obviously, there are unknowns right now. But I see 10 champs there!
Yes, that was a great win. Even though Manville is currently around 30, that kid is gonna do well! Zeke has him a pretty good young crop.
The crazy thing is we have the wrestlers for 12 champs if we can just squeeze em all into the lineup.
Highly doubt Landon certs said he could go 149 this year. And i highly doubt we ever see that. He will be a 165 before he's a 149
I agree with Reaper, anyone foolish enough to mess with Robideau should be fired. Jamison can take over 149 and leave Robideau at 157 where he has excelled.Any chance Robideau could go 49 and Routledge 57? I know John would find a way that doesn't mean it's a good way.
