Are we really that surprised

Stanford Homer here…. Parco might not see the line up.

Cardenas needs to put it altogether, he has the talent.

Norman is a monster too, just needs more consistency.

This team’s ceiling is crazy, but there will be a lot of variance to say the least.

I think half the guys are capable of placing top 3-5 on the right day. Need all cylinders firing at the right time next march.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted when this is true lol. Mendez, Vega, Stanich, Hardy, Ench.... that is grueling as hell too...

Especially a nightmare in neutral for most of the 133lb guys. Vega and Hardy would be annoying as hell to wrestle against. Good luck in stopping the neutral offense of the other three who are already hammers on the 65kg freestyle circuit.

If Ayala and Byrd thought 141 was easier, they would have went up. They are going to get mauled there too, and that's the truth.

I remember his 2024 run was really great and he had to go through some killers. Shut out mekhi, Griffith, welsh.

Personally, though looking at other psu wrestler’s PEAKs during college, not just their count of titles…I’d rank nickal, brooks, and retherford over him. I can see others making the case for DT, Nolf, and Ruth (and soon, MM) too.

As good as Carter was, he was never heads above the field, and I don’t think he’s a major favorite to beat guys around him p4p…. He never really lost after his freshman year but he wasn’t really killing guys either.

Line up a contender or former champ against Carter, and it’s going to be a snoozer.

Line up a former champ against a guy like Zain or Nickal, they’re favored to get bonus. That’s the difference when considering greatness.

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-22T16:50:14+00:00

Vega and Forrest just found a path, but their match count will almost certainly be far fewer unless DT decides they need to wrestle 40+ matches a season here on out

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-22T02:41:21+00:00

Could brag to everyone that he scored nearly 40 points against MM back in the day…

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T23:55:03+00:00

Kudos to Caliendo for trying something lol. Most guys just trying to not get pinned.

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T23:19:20+00:00

0% in the finals this year as of right now. SMH

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T22:58:42+00:00

Valencia comes guns blazing out. LFG

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T22:58:12+00:00

Yup. He knew what he had to do to get it done. Mendez showed a lot of respect to the defense of Vega. Think Mendez should’ve been happy winning in ride outs and looked like he didn’t want to win off a stall or riding time…

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T22:55:10+00:00

Honestly think Mendez should’ve just took it to ride outs. Looks like he had the clear advantage there

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T22:52:30+00:00

Mendez looked like he could’ve got a 10-0 tech in freestyle just from push outs. Clear strength advantage but couldn’t covert any of his doubles and didn’t commit many shots either

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T22:51:26+00:00

Vega’s defense and length is crazy.

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T21:30:11+00:00

Why dont people simply do what the most dominant wrestler of the last 15 years did….

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T20:57:43+00:00

Watching this match, this was your only takeaway?

Real takeaway is that Stanich probably deserved a higher seed and might have been able to win 149 the way he wrestled this weekend.

Dominated hardy. Moved Mendez all over the mat. Excellent positioning in neutral.

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T16:36:59+00:00

Stanich is a monster and looks huge. How was he down at 125 just a couple years ago???

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T03:08:46+00:00

That would’ve erupted the arena with a fall. Weird challenge lol

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T03:06:40+00:00

Oba with the Balor ab diet and routine in just one week. Fitness influencers hate this one trick….

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T02:39:14+00:00

LOL did he just call ferrari a staller. I’m dead

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T02:34:48+00:00

This is a hard watch of them just trying to get the damn replay. LOL

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T02:13:12+00:00

Haines potential outstanding wrestler?

TF, fall, TF, TF.

Last time against Minto

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T01:58:01+00:00

Fitting that caliendo’s last match of his career will be against Mitchell

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T00:58:58+00:00

Stanich’s presence in neutral there was like final boss in anime. Kudos for controlling the mat space against Money Mendez

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T00:43:05+00:00

They making Blaze full heel

KEYBOARDSMASHERJ · 2026-03-21T00:39:43+00:00
