Wrestlingfan937 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Bouzakis is set to compete in the freshman/sophomore division while Jesse will be in the open division…. possible byrd vs Jesse Mendez will be a great measuring stick for where our boy stacks up. Byrd is tough and AA and can bang with the best. Disco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The rumor I’ve heard is that if the staff has already decided that Jesse is going at 133 and Bouzakis is redshirting, there’s no benefit to having them wrestle each other for the public. Which would also check out as to why Bouzakis didn’t have a challenge match. Jesse is going to start his career off with a bang with a win over Byrd.

No shot, Byrd is really tough and is definitely more proven than Mendez. I wouldn't count Mendez out, especially since he has a win over Chris Cannon who is also a 133 AA, but Mendez won't bonus a guy of this caliber. 1 or 2 point difference I'm predicting. And that's if Ragusin doesn't stop Mendez first. Dwilly and ReformedPoster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyb Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Been watching MSU open today. Looks like we probably will see Byrd Vs Mendez. Have watched and cornered for and against these kids since they were in about second grade. In semis now. I predict Jesse by 3 in the finals. Btw… the outlaws always seemed to get the best of ol Byrd back in the day. He would always come over and give us the hardest boney fist bump and typically a good cuss word or two. He’s always been a tough little dude! MAJAM152 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyb Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Mendez beats Byrd by 1. Got cheated out of two backs (just saying). Went as I assumed It would. With that said… Byrd is physically strong. He wrestled quite a bit on his knees from neutral. Found his opportunity and twisted Byrd off. Byrd got his foot on the wood with a 1 count. Bigger mat Jesse May have gotten a fall. Jesse was very patient and handled it well. Great job Jesse!

MattM Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Worth noting Byrd a redshirt sophmore already has two 5th place finishes at NCAAs. Mendez also took out NCAA qualifier and current 19th ranked Drury 5-0 in the semis. There is a lot of the season to go, but Mendez showed the rest of DI that he’s definitely had All-American ability this season.

He ran through the Fresh-Soph field today. I’m guessing Tom Ryan has a plan to optimize his team title chance with how he uses them both over the next few years at 133-141.

All of these kids are on different journeys. He may be there 4 years or 7 years. We can speculate till the cows come home. It will do us no good. For now Jesse is the guy at 133. As a parent of a kid that graduates college this year… it flies by! Let’s all just sit back and watch this young man make us proud.

Guest Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I watched all day today. Actually I thought Jesse looked a little small at 133 / I would love to watch what goes on in the room. Looked real good today - we all know it is a grind. Out of the big OSU recruiting class - he looks the best to go.

Wrestlingfan937 Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Mendez vs latona this weekend. latona is #19 in the country so this will be another awesome opportunity for Mendez to show the country he is a contender.

wrestlenewbie Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Mendez made his debut this week in all four ranking services.

Wrestlingfan937 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Mendez did well yesterday, I think takeaways from that match is that he can get off bottom, can continue to push the pace, and wrestles the entire match. He will still be at the top. Misty Kendrex, MUSKEEWRESTLER and IU89 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanderson's record survives another year. MUSKEEWRESTLER, Brave4Life and Misty Kendrex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
