Will be heading to Vegas this evening. But I won’t be attending. Phish, nights 4-6 at the sphere. Will be better than the Open. Sorry guys🍻
Enjoy, the sphere is an experience! We were originally booked in Vegas this weekend hoping that Dead and Co would be there, but switched to Carlsbad, CA. I should have stuck with Vegas and snuck in some wrestling.

Any link to the brackets and mat assignments? Trackwrestling say to go to Flo. Dont see them on Flo.

And the list of 32 mats doesn’t refresh often, so it is really hard to find the wrestlers.

If you go to USAbracketing.com you can register for free (I just did a few minutes ago myself trying to find the assignments) and they have a dashboard there to follow along. You'd think with Flo and Track together they would find a way to make it less difficult.

That's because it's not Flo or Track.

For whatever dumbazz reason, USA Wrestling decided to waste member money on creating a new bracketing software that sucks. I'll never understand it.

Has Dean Peterson been active in Greco previously? Won his consos match there pretty easily. Or is he like DeSanto where he's just trying it out and see where it takes him?

Flo having technical difficulties on the women’s quarters mats. Frustrating.

Flo has the matches and replays. You would think they would have mat assignments and brackets.

Does anyone have inside knowledge (I'll also accept rumor, innuendo, and baseless speculation) about why the following are not wrestling this weekend: DeLuca, Bailey, Block, V Voinovich, Estrada, Schubert, Arnold, Ferrari, Ludington, Keuter?

Ferrari had to have two surgeries and hasn't ever wrestled freestyle to my knowledge so probably wouldn't even if he was 100 percent. Voinivich wrestles for Serbia, not the US. I'd presume Kueter is recovering as well since his surgery was after NCAA. Gabe said in his interview he was going so I'm most curious about him. Although he was going at 79 kg which still seems like an awfully fast descent back down from 190 last month.

Ludington is at 92kg. Bailey, Ferrari, and Kueter had post season surgeries. DeLuca is probably still recovering from injury. Estrada had said he wants to pursue mma post college so I'd be surprised to see him wrestling freestyle. Not sure about the rest.

Gabe was never close to 190 to start with. He's wrestling his natural weight. Can't wait to see him at 74 next year. I think he's going to be a beast! Gabe was wrestling 20lbs over his natural weight. He did an incredible job!
Edit: Was Gabe at 190? Just read your post again. If so you are correct, I didn't realize he was weighing in at that. That's a big drop.

Leydecker looking good breezing through the open. Cant wait to watch her wrestling for Hawks. Larramendy didn't look right in the quarters even though she got the pin in the 2nd, haven't watched her semi against Miracle yet but see she got teched.

It’s widely known a few are injured.

I would expect to see a lot of the other guys at u23 nationals in May.

Eh...79 kg with these weigh in rules doesn't seem problematic for a guy 190 on full feed a month ago.

That said...no idea why he decided not to go, and respect his decision either way. Maybe we see him at U23s.

Maybe he isn’t all the way out of the door? Or has the bridges have been burned ?
@Corby2
No clue here but when the rumblings about academic progress towards a degree came out I wondered how that could impact the situation. Transferring credits has an impact on that so his best bet for getting around that would be Little Rock or here at Iowa most likely.

Teske and Cruz both won by tech as well. Some funky scoring in the Cruz match. A few missed exposures on both sides.
