Brayden Davis is the best 8th grade wrestler at penn state .
Ikr he looks like a baby
He is too young to shave, LOL. He should do well in the NCAAs. It will be interesting to see how far he goes. I am thinking he is 50-50 to make it to the semi's.
Reminds me of a young Kyle Dake.
@@srokkhmer562 Wow, I see it too. That last double at the end of the match was beautiful!
@@georgesealy4706 seeding that bracket will be a nightmare.
This tournament looks like everyone vs penn state 😂
Would’ve been even better if starocci wasn’t injured 😂
@@laydenyump3619 Not hating on Kasak but imagine Van Ness was healthy too lol
@@natemartinez2745 if van ness was healthy, then Nagao would’ve been the only one not to make the finals
@@footballfanboy9680 100% made a stupid decision in his semifinal match, and then loses twice in a row. Shayne would’ve probably struggled a bit with Henson and maybe Gomez, but I still think he beats both by 4-6 points each
We knew that 165 match was gonna be Good but that exceeded expectations just wow!
Absolutely!! Match of the tournament!! Seeing Brooks turn up a level from his dual match with Glazier was also good to see.
#2 seed!!! Hope that is a path to the finals
Messenbrink is the most exciting wrestler in the NCAA's hands down.
I cannot wait for 165 at NCAAs!!!
It warms my heart to see his family so ecstatic, his dad looks so proud, as he should be, that was one of the best matches of the tournament.
He's great for the sport. Scoring points is exciting. Too many guys trying to win 1-0.
Mesenbrink is one of the most exciting wrestlers at the moment. Hats off!
He keeps coming and coming. He is difficult to deny.
Thought it was over when he was down 9-3. Such a great comeback
@@Capricornsrule He showed a lot of resolve for being a true freshman. The guys in the NCAAs are going to have to deal with him. I just hope he gets a fair seeding and bracket draw. We should soon find out.
I enjoy watching him wrestle. He’s so tenacious. I agree He should get a 4 seed I hope
Favorite wrestler by far. Relentless attacks and superb character.
That 174 match was a real nail biter
Aaron Brooks reminds me of Larry Wheels.
Why did I never put that together 😂
I see it now 🤯
might be why hes so strong
Mesenbrink was down 9-2 against an excellent wrestler. It is amazing how he came back to win it. He doesn't give up. It will be interesting to see how he does against an entirely new set of wrestlers in the NCAAs.
Hamiti messed up. Mesenbrink clearly outclassed
Ham controlled the match, 1 unneeded bad decision.
That sequence at the end of 141 was crazy…both outstanding tacticians they will meet again in the national finals.
Braeden Davis asserting his will on McKee... that kid just broke a man in the B1G finals.
Didn't like the push-off after the takedown though, pretty uncalled for and not that subtle. You already won. Probably why KcGee threw the bands on him lol.
Geez Aaron Brooks is good at this.
one of the best p4p
Austin Gomez (7th year) to go from NCAA to AARP. NCAARP.
Ya that free covid year was ridiculous. You can compete, but it doesn't count toward eligibility!!!! Plus all the scholarships it clogged up. Wrestling only gets 9.9 scholarships. So all the guys that hung around cost a young wrestler a scholarship.
@@victorpistone1073OhHhH boo hooo
@@courtneybreitwisch Boohoo is not an intelligent statement. Why bother posting if that's all you have.
Davis is the real deal but how are you a 22 year old man and just give up a takedown for free with 5 seconds left lol McKee will never win when it matters
he probably assumed they’d both give up
Heavy on mckee will never win, I know he wanted it bc it’s his last year
He was going to lose regardless, NCAA’s is what matters
If assume he was trying to feel out final big move
Lost to a dude that looks like MAYBE looks like an 11 year old.
And check out will lewan finding a new gear. 99% of his shots this season were in the big ten finals 😂
Hmmm. . . Lewan attempts to play defense and then look for an opening. He will stay in a lot of matches, but it doesn't get it done against the top guys. He is a stalling machine.
Great wrestling by Mendez. Bartlett is proving to be a very boring wrestler. Would be nice to see him make an effort to improve his offense.
Watching Mesenbrink's match live was insane! He kinda looked like ge conceded some of those takedowns, but he never gave up! I think O'Toole is too much of a technician to let any of that up, but Mesenbrink's pace is alot to handle. Cant wait for KC!!!
Depending on the draw, Mesenbrink should have a good chance of getting to the semi's. He is one tough guy to beat.
Can't freaking wait!!
I am interested to see how KOT handles that pressure, they are familiar with one another (both AWA kids) so I also wonder how that plays into it. Will be the weight to watch outside of 125!!
Thanks so much for letting us get this on youtube B10W. Some great matches! With the power of the big 10, many of the semifinals and finals from this tourney are previews of the semis and finals of the upcoming NCAAs. I don't know what to think of the 174 weight class though - the top 2 guys in the country both unlikely to compete? The rest of the field wide open? And a lot of these were so close that you could do them every week this year and still never know who was favored in the next match.
I am betting Star and Griffith wrestle at NCAAs, healthy or not. Starocci may sit out due to Olympic aspirations, I guess, but this is Griffiths last year, so I imagine he goes out there no matter what.
Hamiti was limping off the mat. Might have tweaked his knee in the last exchange. Hope he's fit for NCAAs
Really enjoy how much Shane and the rest of the crew appear to enjoy each other - Shane is the energy guy, but really does a fantastic job of reeling it in to give the crew their time to talk instead of yelling over them, and they give Shane time to be the energy guy. Loved in the Messenbrink/Hamiti match when the announcer said "go ahead Shane" and Sparks got to yell "We've got a coffee grinder!"
Did anyone else see Mckee throw his ankle bands on Davis? Davis didn't seem to respond except for removing them from on top of his head...
Is no one gonna talk about the absolute bologna stallling call on haines? Yikes. If that was stalling... idk anymore 😂 good match
One of the worst calls I’ve seen! Not only was Haines CLEARLY the aggressor, but that wasn’t even a great shot by Lewan 😂
Iowa needs new coaches this was a absolute embarrassment for the Iowa program, their wrestlers of late have consistently gotten worse over the course of there career and are always coming up short when they really need it, they hang on your head for 7 minutes and don’t take shots and are hoping that u eventually gas out, yes they are missing 2 return stud muffins but u can't rely on 2 returnees to carry u anywhere near a team title, and 5 semi's and only 1 wrestler who is absolutely horrible in putting up points, the brands brothers were relentless and that was the iowa way of doing things but if your recruiting guys who clearly aren't takedown technicians then they need to be on point with wrestling relentless, but these guys half the team are afraid to take shots just hang on your head and if they do have a 1 or 2 point lead are afraid of losing there lead and stop wrestling, I am a Iowa fan but I can't believe what these guys are willing to put there bodies thru the sacrifice they go thru and then I see real woods going out guns blazing and literally stop wrestling after being up by 1 or again 2 points,
The brands brothers aren’t the problem, they are ingrained in Iowa culture, and you can see in every interview that the team loves them. They prioritize the individual, then the wrestler. It’s the recruiter who is the problem. Sure we can get good recruits in the transfer portal, but why is it that we have such a hard time getting good out of state recruits in high school? Iowa is a very notable ncaa team, but our reputation is slowly going down the drain with the way this is going. This is one of the best programs in the country, how is it that weights like 184 and 285 aren’t more competitive? Riggins is wrestling 30 pounds up for fucks sake.
@@matt6619riggins is a 57? No way
I disagree. It's a down year. If they had two or three more years like this, then you can say that. But they just got a national title two years ago.
@@lexingtonconcord8751 penn state gets a national title every year
Iowa is missing like 3 starters that got suspended for the season. Brands would be at 84 and cass would be at heavy. Both are all Americans and cass is probably a finalists this year.
Why did hamiti take a sloppy half shot while he was up big in the 3rd period? I get that people make mistakes in the moment but he literally gave away a match that he pretty much dominated in.
unlike Mesenbrink, he ran out of gas at the end.
A lot of penn state guys are beatable but their gas tanks aren’t
@@armanifryeowens5518only 2 guys have a “gas tank” brooks and mess… Davis is as bad as anyone at standing around. It’s why Ayala beat him earlier in the year. 125 is a mess. Ayala beats Davis, Davis beat deaugistino, deaugistino beats Ayala, Ramos beats Ayala and Ayala returns the favor in the conso finals. I’d hate to have to seed that bracket.
@@Noles1212bro forgot carter starocci existed
@@keyboard2758 carter ain’t got no knees.
Shawvers duck under was absolutely beautiful
133 match was awesome great to see the RU kid take it down
Chump move by McKee.. got beat by a freshman..😅
thank you for posting
Ridge Lovett stalled that entire match
Great matches!
hoping mesenbrink takes it all the way at NCAA’s!! what a match!🔥
Mannn! I know he lost however... If Dean Hamiti can focus and have a beginning to end solid performance each match its no doubt he can when a national championship! his wrestling style is sick but its like he had a couple mental lapses that cost him... Regardless based off of his style alone he's instantly one of my new favorites! cant wait!!!
Braeden Davis is electric, love the ending
Let's hope that Starocci makes it to the NCAAs. If he is not going to compete, then he should not be in the NCAA bracket. It would be wrong for him to take a spot away from someone else. We should know Tuesday or Wednesday.
He's going to compete at NCAAs for sure.
@@brendan638For sure he is. He's just doing what Iowa's done these last two years. Let's wrestle our top guys only 2 or 3 times at Big 10s and then forfeit them so they automatically get to the NCAAs without a possible injury. He should be good to go for NCAAs. Also, he is ranked #1. How could they keep him outside top 4 seed? That's not fair.
i just started watching wrestling and idk whats going but its fun who should i watch
Mendez and Bartlett are as about equal as it can get. One move by either guy decides it. Shawver has some great moves and he is one slippery guy. He is difficult to firmly grab and take down. He could go far in the NCAAs. Truax continues to be just below the top guys. Truax is a good wrestler, but he is not elite. He needs some good fortune in the NCAAs to get to the semi's. Brooks and Kerkvliet have about a 98% chance of getting to the NCAA finals. Anything can always happen at that level, but they are extremely dominating.
Aaron brooks is as sure fire as anyone to wrestle for the title at NCAA’s
@@hennyhardaway2582He looks absolutely yoked this year at 197. Bernie's solid at 184 and can be a solid contributor to another possible team title. He'll have to step it up in the postseason if Carter Starocci doesn't do the 4x thing this season.
Wrestling is truly the greatest sport no feeling like seeing a slick takedown or a big through
5:04 it's unreal how bad the camera angles are for some of these matches sometimes. A match only lasts 7 minutes, PLEASE keep the camera on the action the WHOLE TIME.
I can’t believe what guys are thinking when they disrespect their opponents….Clearly McKee thru his anklet on Braeden’s head while he was bent down….did he think that was an attribute to his game. Guys like that have lost already, because they are not mentally strong.
Beau Bartlett is tough
Love Shane Sparks energy .
I’m getting my girlfriend into wrestling and she’s loving how animated I get and how some of these wrestlers are babies. True Freshman winning the title is so impressive. She’s liking Penn while she knows I’m an Iowa fan. As long as she doesn’t complain about me watching the entire tournament
Hamiti threw that match with the dumb takedown attempt after escaping. Would've won if he just stayed defending.
It kills me dude, he dominated him.
@@michaelbradley7621 you have to wrestle to the end. This is were Mesenbrink is at his best.
Excuse me! He had a fine match! He got closer to beating Messenbrink than any other wrestler this year! You people in the comments are ridiculous
@@lexingtonconcord8751he was suppose to beat him not “get close to beating him”
he also jumped onto his back
Did they do a punch sound effect at 35:32??? 😂😂😂
dang I didnt know this was going on
The end of the 165 pound match seemed strange 50 seconds left and they let them just sit in that position?
You could fast forward a lewan match and the score would be the same
Bernie good match but you lost buddy put your hand 🖐️ down 😢😂
What instructions do you imagine BRANDS is hollering at Glazier when he’s wrestling AB?
Hamiti just ran out of gas.
Where Iowa be
Beau needs to wrestle much better at Nationals. More shots more offense
Hamiti wins that rematch
probably not
No way! He gets beat worse!
Lmaooo Braeden demoralized that fool
Hahaha just saying if starocci was healthy he'd be standing there not Edmund
And PSU crushed the points record
Ridge is wrestling scared
He engaged in the body locks with austin Gomez multiple times. No wrestler does that with a guy as dangerous as he is without some conviction
Dean got caught hes winning that rematch
😂😂
Gotta get rid of these announcers. You wouldn't know any have even been to a wrestling meet as they stutter and stammer and offer ridiculous analogies of the action. It is embarrassing. One no-name attempted to make a boxing comparison but ended up drifting into a mind-fog. Listen to Jeff Byers. There is no comparison.
Yeah man it's not like one of the announcers was a 3 time all american and was the head coach of a program like Iowa State 🤣
Lmao that boxing analogy was so bad 😂😂😂
😂
04:55~, 06:40~, 09:20~
Let’s see if the 74 pounder is smiling and dancing at the National Tournament
Let Ed Ruth’s lil bro have the moment are you serious? Lil bro of a Penn state legend and he is catching random strays
lol. Breathing…these old folks need to go…so biased…anything but PSU
And every wrestler on their team no one wins at the ncaa plane crashes whatever it takes imhatecpennstatec
such a pointless tournament
I hate penn state with a passion
Cool story
SEE BEAU IS NOT THAT GOOD....BORING AF
He may be boring, but you’re wrong if you’re saying he’s not that good. He’s damn good. So is Mendez. So is Woods.
@@hauntedhaunter6148 I'M SAYING IT..HE'S NOT GOOD.. BORING AF AND WON'T WIN THE NC
You're obviously not to bright are you??
@@locomoco7141Probably right about him not winning it all. But he's looked a lot stronger and more offensive this season than last season.
@@elgringolocoMaldonado WE'LL SEE HOMIE.... ALL SEASON LONG HE'S ON THE VERGE OF LOSING...SEEMS LIKE HIS LUCK HAS RUN OUT. HE'S NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL A THE REST OF THE #1 SEEDS...IF YOU THINK HE IS THEN YOU'RE THE DUMMY
