[WEAREPSU_LI]

That was a great match. Desmond is really fun to watch. Wrestles really hard.

 

[orange nole]

He looks/seems bigger than those early duals at 141. Hell yeah!

[NittanyChris]

WOW! DESMOND!

Incredible, gutsy win when fatigued vs a cagey Senior. Amazing!

 

[WPIALBrwnPSU]

Deep Deep bench. You never know when next man up!

Bormet trying to steal a lunger

That might have helped Nate too. They were both tired.

 

[Fatwoodchuck]

That was m f in awesome, nate did good!

 

[mvattivo]

That was a great match!

When your backup, true freshman 125 pounder can go up two weight classes and beat a former all-american, you are doing something right!

Nice work Desmond

 

[Reslo1]

Good thing Davis didn’t wrestle tonight, he would’ve gotten majored.

Give us a break dude. We all love Desmond.

 

[Atrain83]

Desmond filling into 141 opens up some fun lineup options in the next couple of years.

 

[GregPickel]

That was a great match. Shame either guy had to lose. Desmond continues to impress.

[fortheglory94]

Throw an undersized back up out there, and he turns out to be as fun to watch as anybody in the lineup. I really have to remember not to take this time frame for granted.

You new here? Not read all the prior threads/posts about whether he should be our 141 before they pulled Scooter’s redshirt?

[CentexLion]

Desmond fans now I bet

We like our guys. But unlike others, we mean it. Desmond 7-0 in his college career. Who had PJ dropping a college match before Desmond? Depth!!!

 

[Reiterate]

I want a mad Van Ness.

[NittanyChris]

Man, corn rows on a white dude just never works.

 

[mcpat]

Reminder that Ragusin was 4th at 133 in 2024 before taking a medical last year.

 

[PAgeologist]

McNeil must go to Helen Keller for his hairstyle.

That’s a bold statement

 

[mvattivo]

Impressive job by Shane Van Nasty! It was nice to see him wrestles a solid, controlled match against a really solid opponent.

 

[mcpat]

At least Stacy’s mom had it going on
