White looked very good, but tomorrow will be the test to determine how close he is to the finals.
Agree about Jacobe, it looks like his strength advantage is being negated at 184.
Reminds me of Chris Chionuma a few years back. He was also a natural 174 that was forced up to 184 because Perry was there.

Still some time for him. This is first tournament up and there will be a physical and mental adjustment period. Also probably dealing with some internal disappointment with how things shook out.
He was a low end AA candadite at 174 and think he can be in that same mold at 184.
I believe that 2082 is correct consos 9 am and semis at 11 am CDT. We are 10 points behind Penn State in the team race and Iowa St is 3rd but 40 pts behind us.
Yeah, I think Jacobe at 184 is going to take some adjustment time. Joe has looked really, really good though.
Hopefully today is fun. Chance and Chandler should be a blast but I would give the edge to Chance.
McFadden and Smith should be a good measuring stick for where Joe is at. McFadden might be a little much for him but hopefully Joe holds his own.
White also has a tough one.
Those are three really tough matches.

Watching Chance's qrt match its hard to see how Chandler will be able to break thru his size & technique, just doesn't look like his usual stuff will work, he's gotta be patient but keep the pace up. Chance was tying his shoe at least twice during the qrt match so maybe the 7 min problem still exists.
Joe has what is takes to win but he needs to bring more intensity in the McFadden match.
Derek needs to keep doing what he's been doing.
All great points. Honestly if we could win one of these but be competitive in all of them I would probably be happy.
Does not really matter because we are about to see murders row and we will be out of the team race soon. For us it is about individuals doing well. I really would like to see us do well this round in the upper weights especially would like to see Joe Smith doing well.
while i don't disagree, if we would win ours, it would keep us close.-especially if you take away the double points at 157.
No disappointment with Joe wrestling an excellent in control dominant match against a very good opponent.
IMO Chandler wrestled the perfect match, he was wearing him out but Marsteller got the 4 time outs, he is still not a 7 minute wrestler, looked like those nose plugs just somehow happened to keep falling out
I still thought it was a poor match by Geer with his opponent struggling standing up and he did not take advantage. Very smart under control match by White beating Nevill's.

White beats Neville’s pretty good 4-0. Rode him the entire second period.
Man, we might not win the team title this year, but this team is fun to watch.

take out their extra 157 points and we are right there. And add Kaid back in without the injury...
But, this isn't nationals. Still think PSU has a big advantage there. But Wrassler is right-this is fun to watch.

honorable mention for Marsteller's shoe strings in the qrts, if not for tying his shoe multiple times wouldn't have made the semis & the nose plug
