I didnt see anything in particular but Aaron reacted immediately holding his arm and knee?

- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I was kidding. But honestly I'm not a fan of Blue on Blue violence unless a starting spot is on the line.
I thought it looked more like something with the arm. Maybe something to the elbow or a broken finger?
Sealey has had a couple bad losses but he is damn good. Looking like the top 10 recruit that he was
That's what I thought, hand or wrist. Hopefully, it's nothing and he can still go. I'd prefer to keep Davis in redshirt if at all possible.
Shayne Van Ness beats Connor Pierce, Duke beats Sealey
Shayne Van Ness beats teammate Connor Pierce by decision 14-7, in the 149-pound final. In the 157-pound final, freshman PJ Duke beat teammate Joe Sealey by decision, 2-1.
That’s a bold statement
This shouldn’t go under the radar. Berginc doesn’t get teched like this usually and his losses are low scoring decisions.
Jeesh. Maybe there really is something to this idea that our backups being a podium contender...

Too light. Going almost 125 in Japan freestyle tournaments. Who knows for sure. Davis seems the obvious. He’s up a weight class
wow does PSU have some hammers on the bench!
Flow needs this as their corporate song.
And I'm so sick of Danica Patrick pitching whatever the hell she's pitching.

Good showing by Henckel. That might be Levi’s closest match of the year
Didn't look good. The debate is whether it's upper or lower body, I think it's arm/elbow/shoulder/hand. He didn't seem to be limping at all.
Even in the finals matches Flo can't be bothered to swing the camera to follow the wrestlers on the edge of the mat.

He's in a back room working out as we speak...
Asher is a little bastard and I'm liking it. Lol
Levi and William seemed to have a gentleman‘s agreement. Rocco and Asher not so much
Panicking being our real favorite sport, see Josh Barr at B10s, there is no need to pull Davis' shirt until Nagao is out for the year.
And no reason whatsoever to start Ono.
Lots of guys can fill in for a month or more of duals.

He immediately grabbed his right wrist/hand right after he's planted that hand on the mat in the process of shooting a double. His hand didn't get caught on anything, so I'm guessing it was simply the impact of hitting the mat. Freak injury.
The pressure to ALWAYS win must be suffocating! Glad that LL can drop one to a teammate, relieving that pressure, w/o ranking consequence.
I agree, I also thought hand/wrist. I even wondered about a lower arm break. He didn't limp even slightly when coming off the mat and they didn't check his knee/ankle, etc.. We'll know this week if they need to tell us, but I agree with Jefe that we need not get too excited unless it's a season-ending injury, then we can discuss Davis' shirt.
There will be ratings consequences imo, PSU guys are held to a different standard. Remember Hall losing to Zahid in the all-star meet and being ranked 2nd all year?

I don't know, figuring Ono in next year puts one on the bench. There are red shirts but Sidun comes into play too after next year. Oh the good problems.
