Iowa's Alex Marinelli is registered at 74 kg for the Junior WTT. Very interested to see how Travis Wittlake does in this bracket. Don't see Dustin Plott registered yet.

Also don't see any major additions to Daniel Kerkvliet's 97 kg bracket.

Very sad match by Gfeller by someone I never heard of. Totally gassed in the second period and seemed to cooperate with his opponent to give up a tech.
Gfeller won by tech fall in consolations and Whitlake lost 6 to 1 to M. Lewis.

I read that Kaden lost to Verkleeren in the consolations.

I haven't seen any of the matches yet. Does anyone know how to view (& watch) the consolation bracket matches on an android phone? I can see the championship side in Floarena, but don't see a way to get the consolation side?

** never mind, found it.

Flo doesn't have Kaden's first match. Can anyone provide some color commentary on it?

Kaden's loss to Verkleeren was really strange. He just completely let up in the second period and shut it down after he had the lead.

I thought Travis wrestled well in his 2 matches. I think he starts out as a 165 and that he'll need a redshirt to make the transition to college wrestling. But he's got a lot of attacks - duck, throw by, ankle pick, single - plus he's aggressive. Very high on him.

Richards could be a tough semis for Fix. He big and very defensive but stay in good position and will surprise you with a shot. Not as successful but wrestles a lot like Ramos does. Fix will beat him if he doesn’t take him too lightly.

Daniel Kerkvliet tech Zach Elam 10-0 and wins match 1 of the best of 3 finals.

Sounds like he will do his senior year at the OTC. I will feel a lot better when he actually signs his LOI in November.

Zahid upsets AD 7-0. Zahid is so hard to get in on with his size and length. He is such an incredible prospect at FS. Alex almost got a 4 point throw near the end to make it 5-4 but just missed it and fell into a TD.

Very deep weight for the U.S. Might have 3 or 4 wrestlers in the top 10 of the world when you throw mark hall in the mix

Very true and if I am being honest the future is the two young guys but specifically Zahid. He is built for that weight and is just an incredible athlete.

Great matches by Daton. Alex seemed helpless against Valentia. He never came close to scoring on a takedown. I don't know what Alex's strategy was except try to wear Valentia down which never came close to happening. I really liked Daton getting the last takedown in his match.

Zahid is so long and physically big for that weight especially against guys like AD and Dake who are sort of tweeners for the class.

He is will be the guy at 79kg soon and maybe really soon. Incredible wrestler.

Daton did well, Gilman has weight issues with the same day weigh ins and has been struggling this season. I’m sure he will be ready for the final x but I think Daton takes him. Zahid beating Alex surprised me a little. He looked very tough. In the past years I loved to go watch the WTTs but this year with the new format it would take four trips so stayed home a watched a buffering tiny version of the first step of them. Internet service is poor down here.

So who has Gilman been struggling with?
