Nebraska Wrestling

[Xmas32]

Medal Matches

 

141--Red gets a pin late in the 3rd period and gets the WBF over Perry (EMU) and will finish 7th.

 

157--Berger wins by injury default over Kemerer (Iowa) and finishes 3rd

 

184--Venz loses 8-1 to Parker (Illinois) and will finish 4th

 

Nebraska should be able to finish in the top 10 of the team race.  Future looks pretty bright as the majority of the team are underclassmen.

This isn't about Nu Wrestling, but SDSU gets their first ever National Champion at 133lbs.

Like i said, Yianni will be a 4x champ.  That kid is badass.

My hatred for PSU grows stronger with every match they win.

I was cheering for tOSU to go back to back in the team race but PSU always seems to pull magic out of their ass when it comes to championships.

Big mistake by Myles Martin. Did I mention how much I hate Penn St. ?

I was going nuts when Martin got in on him and put him to his back.  My happiness was short lived.  Grrrr

That scramble was crazy, I saw the mat level replay and Martin was in decent position when he had Nickal on his back...Nickal just did Nickal things, popped his hips and that was kinda it.  He had Martin's chin...lost it and then somehow got it back...just nuts.

 

I can already tell I'm going to loathe Vincenzo Joseph...a lot.  He's the new Dean Heil!

 

The Valencia/Hall match was awesome, that 1st period scramble was incredible.

He's a special, special talent.  Really cool seeing a couple freshman in Lee and Yanni win national titles.

 

On a side note, the most entertaining wrestler of the tournament has to be Tariq Wilson of NC St.  Dude put on a show...just let it all hang out like Caldwell used to do for NC State.  Popolizio has some good things cooking over Raleigh.

Huskers picked up a big commit today in Peyton Robb.  He is ranked #2 in the nation at 160 and 26th overall.   Will wrestle 157/165 for us. 

[Xmas32]

Robb is a great pickup.  Can come in, RS for a year and duke it out with Luke Weber/Baptista for the 157 spot after Berger graduates.

 

NU also got a huge pickup with Zeke Moisey transferring from WVU for his Sr. year.  Moisey is a 2x AA and fills a huge hole that NU has 125 since Lambert graduated.  That makes things interesting with Alex Thomsen.  He's either going to RS or bump to 133 as I just can't see Renteria staying there with all the weight struggles he had.  The question becomes what happens with Renteria and Red?  You've got Brock Hardy coming in and one would assume he's going 149.  Renteria is in a tough spot.

Fingers crossed this guy turns into the AA HWT Nebraska hasn't had since *quickly checks* TOLLY THOMPSON.  Holy smokes NU has struggled getting a quality HWT.
