PJ Casale is still with the program and used the time off to trim down, very interesting. Also, I had no idea Connor O'Neil was still on the team. I wish he made 165 last year, rather have watched Connor.

Will be interesting to see who will make a claim at the starting spot at 149/165.. maybe O’Neil should drop down to 165 too.. most curious how PSW looks(was his win over Soldano for real) and how Casale looks at 197 (he had a decent amount of potential coming out of hs)

That has to be close to a 40lb or more cut for casale. That’s impressive in its own right.

Nice was hoping to see some of our freshman in action but I guess one is better then none.

Looks like no expected starters other than 149 and 165 where the starting job is up for grabs. I assume this means Harer is locked into the starting spot for sure.

Don’t forget 184 where Walsh beat Soldano.. Harer def proved he’s our best option at 157 and 165 might have a freshman starter unless we decide to RS.

Of curiosity, why don't we have any of our freshmen 125lbers in. I know Gibson is hurt/recovering...

Guess-it has to do with the true freshman rule. In the first semester, true freshman must compete as attached. So it would count as one of their 5 competition dates. They must want to save their dates in case Peterson gets dinged up, weight issues etc(also possible one of the 125lbers is dinged up).

I would like to see them all show up. While there are others that I'm eager to see compete, there are several on that list that will be good to see. I Presume Ayden Smith is still too small? We haven't seen much from Chletsos, so glad to see him going. Happy to also see Blanchette, but four guys at 165? Much is expected from Walsh. Casale is a shocker to see at 197. Does he expect to challenge Poz for the job? I'm also happy to see what Packer can do.

He also faced a random wrestler from Colombia who was 14-20 in his career

He was ranked as high as 4th in weight class I think, not sure who he beat nationally to get that high though… but after he completely fell out of rankings.. not sure bc of losses or bc of inj for that to happen.

It was baffling why he suddenly dropped from the rankings. I've been hopeful that he might be good at 165. Look at his high school record; you'll see he was a pinning machine. I don't know how many times he had to wrestle three periods. Conditioning is the foundation for everything else in wrestling, so it's disheartening to read that guys are getting gassed.

Are there any other results?

For some reason I can’t reply to posts but no chance the other coach knew anything. He got lazy/sloppy for a second and got stuck. It happens but sucks it happened when he had a huge lead.

Thing w Blanchette was ppl were hyped about him bc he was a 3 or 4x state champ and was dominant.. but I keep saying state titles don’t matter as much as who u beat that’s nationally ranked and I was having some doubts on him bc he didn’t face too much National competition.. think his best win was against Gabe Wright, who won Ironman and multiple time PA state champ I think.. that’s what catapulted Blanchette up to his 4th ranking at the time. So when u got a guy that didn’t face much National competition but was dominant in hs then he’s either going get exposed at next lvl or end up being a hidden gem.

Well part 1 seems accurate (exposed). I don’t see him every contributing here. Yeah I know its 1st matches but Shindel cant start on Hofstra and he lost to him.
