  1. McCormick goes up 2-0 as the 24 over the 9. And a vicious half to his back for a 6-0 lead...and AGAIN and the FALL!!
  2. Cael McCormick on deck Mat 3. Parriott up 4-2 in the first
  3. Thornton of Purdue loses a 6-0 lead to fall behind 10-9, but gets into SV and wins 12-10!! Thornton-Micic in round 2
  4. Thornton up 6-0 in the 2nd...he would meet Micic if they both win
  5. Thornton of Purdue up 2-0 mid first period over UNC
  6. Micic with 2 TD's but gives up a late reversal late in the 1st to cut into his lead at 4-3.
  7. Chad Red!! Keeps the postseason magic going with the fall in the 2nd.
  8. Two NF for Hildebrandt...commanding 5-0 with a minute to go
  9. Hildebrandt gets a slick 2. Schroeder of Purdue down 4-0 and big riding time in the 3rd.
  10. Aven gives up an awkward takedown and 2 near fall to go down 4-0 vs the WV kid. Hildebrandt with a quick escape to take the lead 1-0 early in the 2nd period.
  11. Covaciu goes up 2-0 early and has significant riding time partway into the 2nd, gives up an escape, takedown, and mat return into a half for the loss by fall.
  12. That's very cool. I would have guessed slightly more than that for Illinois, though. Not sure on the PA/OH totals either. Gotta be north of 30 for Ohio and 40 for PA, right?
  13. There aren't many ways to know for sure how our state stacks up against others in terms of the quality of wrestlers we're producing. You can count the number of kids we have ranked in national rankings, but that is subjective and our high school travel rules limit our exposure. Some people like to count NCAA D1 All-Americans, but there are so many socio-economic and just practical barriers and advantages in play, that it feels like a limited assessment tool. A broader post-High School evaluation might be this: How many "high quality" college wrestlers is our state producing? It's tough to take into account all redshirts, injuries, flunkies, etc., to create an evaluation like this. However, for the sake of simplicity, we could simply do a count of current-season Division I starters and D2, D3, and NAIA All-Americans (because AA's at those levels tend to perform at a D1 starter level). The cool part? That's exactly 1000 wrestlers in the country (76 D1 programs x 10 starters and 8 small-school AA's x 3 levels x 10 weights). It doesn't take a math degree to know that the average state would earn 20 of those slots in a given year. Indiana has 29 this year: 19 D1 starters and 10 small-school AA's I haven't done the research necessary to know how that stacks up exactly against others, but I know from past research I've done, that more than half of those 1000 "high-quality" college wrestlers would be taken up by only a few states. I'm guessing that 29 number for Indiana would put us in the 10-15 range when compared against other states--a similar spot to where other attempts for assessing our quality have landed. What's your feeling on the current quality of Indiana wrestling?
  14. Just to add a quick plug..definitely link to that thread today. SWINfan does a great job with results and at least a few of us will be posting results, mat assignments, and comments all through the action as it happens--especially for the state of Indiana grads and IU and Purdue guys. FIRST TIMING UPDATE: Jacob Covaciu will be on the mat immediately at NOON in his rat-tail match. Jacob Aven and Purdue's Schroeder will be up 2nd on their mats and Drew Hildebrandt will be 3rd on his mat. Again, link here for more updates as they come in: https://indianamat.com/index.php?/forums/topic/56989-ncaa-championships-day-1/ 125: #16 Devin Schroeder, Purdue; #13 Drew Hildebrandt, Central Michigan; #15 Elijah Oliver, IU 133: #2 Stevan Micic, Michigan; #15 Ben Thornton, Purdue 141: #3 Nick Lee, Penn St.; #16 Chad Red, Nebraska, #30 Nate Limmex, Purdue 157: #19 Griffin Parriott, Purdue 165: #22 Bryce Martin, IU; #24 Cael McCormick, Army 174: #32 Jacob Covaciu, IU; #11 Dylan Lydy, Purdue; #22 Ben Harvey, Army; #26 Drew Hughes, Michigan St. 184: #25 Max Lyon, Purdue 197: #11 Christian Brunner, Purdue 285: #5 Mason Parris, Michigan; #33 Jacob Aven, Purdue
