Chain wrestling is stringing together move after move. In that match Jax shoots high crotch to the right leg that is defended. Then he immediately shoots the single leg to the left leg and gets it. The opponent tries to fight it off, so Jax keeps the leg and reaches for the head to lock up the...

I have heard that we might see Tagen soon. I'm not sure what that means and Casey seems to be improving. My biggest takeaway from the match is 174 and 184. We know what Jax can do and that wasn't the best competition. Facundo and Ryder showed more offense than they have shown in a while. That...

I'm not sure I think it is the best idea for him to come this year, but I can't help but enjoy the progress of the young guys. National duals showed that we have some freshman ready to challenge anyone right now. I can see why Jax would want to join that. Who wouldn't be excited for Jax to come...

This was a fun dual. If you have never gone before, make sure you go when they have a tailgate. Lot of fans and former wrestlers hanging out before the dual. Kids were able to get lots of pictures and signatures. There were a few suprises like always in this dual; however, the theme to me is the...

I wanted to get the conversation going a little without having time to go through every match. Please post some information about other matches that you are ready to see. For this post, I am going to call this the 3 to see. The theme this year for the wrestling team is potential. The team is...

Great win by two Cowboys. Both of them got wins over all Americans. Get your tickets for Friday's dual if possible.

We've got two wrestlers participating in the All Star Classic November 1, Casey Swiderski and Zack Ryder. Interesting, neither guy has wrestled a match for us yet. Both are slight underdogs by ranking. A win would be a good sign for the season. Anyone who is ready to see how the team looks will...

There will be some good wrestlers not starting. I wonder if we will see some different lineups in national duals.

That is probably a fair assessment. The one difference could be Wyatt Hendrickson. He was a proven pinner and point scorer. I was looking at Stanford's team, and they are solid. There are some really good matchups if they all wrestle.

This should be a great event. I hope to see all of it but this is the opportunity to see most of the best teams. In addition, the format will probably lend to seeing some backups/freshman. With football the way it is, I'm ready for some wrestling. This event will tell us a lot of about an...

Working out the lower weights will be interesting. Having national duals early will likely allow us to see several different lineups.

A few Cowboy RTC wrestlers competed today. Hendrickson lost his first match and is out. Zahid beat a former world champion and is in the finals. Forest wrestled well and still has a chance at the bronze. It is great to see OSU having a presence and some success on the big stage. Recruits notice.

I understand the difficult decision. The money in football is a big incentive. (You might check out Ben Keuter at Iowa. He has been doing both in some capacity.) He wouldn't have to cut weight since he will be heavy weight. I haven't heard his plan. I'm sure he'll consult family etc. and do what...

No news on Bassett at this time, but his high school teammate and future cowboy, Jax Forrest, made the senior world team today by beating a former world champion.

I think he planned to be at the farm for a while. I'm not sure he is a big need for us weight wise. His brother or adopted brother would be a very nice addition. It is a win for OSU if he doesn't go to Penn State.
