Missouri running away with the Big 12 title in the same fashion we used to do! Something needs to change!

Would you be saying that if we had Kerkvliet and Ferrari in the lineup? This was the year we were supposed to be loaded. It didn't happen because, well, it didn't happen. But that doesn't mean we need to change things. It means we need to load up again.

Never heard of Kerkvliet
He was committed to us and is one of the top 3 heavyweight in the country and will compete for the NC the next 3 years.
Ok, so here's the report of what it looks (looked) like before Session 3 started at noon.
125: Unseeded Witcraft won a good match, first round, got lucky with a medical forfeit of the (1) seed Cardinale in Round 2, lost to (4) Stevo Poulin in Sudden Victory in the Semifinals and faces (2) Jore Volk in the consoaltion Semis. Great first day for Witcraft.
133: (1) Fix pinned Garrett Ricks (Wyoming), Tech fall over (8) Jace Koelzer and Major Decision (11-3) over (5) Connor Brown (Missouri) and is headed to the finals against (3) Zach Redding (ISU).
141: (4) Carter Young beat (5) Clay Carlson from S. Dakota State 4-2, then medically forfeited in teh fisrt few seconds against (1) Andrew Alirez. His knee looked baaad. Will face Casey Swiderski (ISU) in consolation semis if he can go.
149: (5) Voinovich beat (4) Kellyn March (NDSU) 3-2. Then lost to (1) Brock Mauller from Missouri) 7-1 to drop to the consolation semis where he will face (6) Mitch Moore from OU.
157: (2) Gfeller beat Tyson Humhreys (Utah Valley) 8-2, (7) Jason Kraisser (ISU) 8-3 and (6) Jacob Wright (Wyoming) 5-2 in OT to make the finals against (1) Jared Franek (N. Dakota State).
165: (6) Wyatt got majored by (3) Michael Caliendo (NDSU) then lost 6-3 against Cole Moody from Wyoming. Really disappointing day for Sheets.
174: (2) Plott beat (7) Lance Runyon 6-2, and pinned (3) Sam Wolf (Air Force) to make the finals against (1) Peyton Mocco from Missouri.
184: (3) Travis Wittlake beat Keegan Moore (OU) 5-1 and Keegan tried to slap Wittlake like the puss he is. Wittlake lost 5-3 in semis to (2) Marcus Coleman from ISU. Will face (5) Deanthony Parker, Jr. from NDSU in consolation semis.
197: (4) Luke Surber got a 16-4 major agianst Noah Glaser (N. Iowa), and a 12-5 win over (5) Owen Pentz (NDSU). He then got smoked by (1) Tanner Sloan (SDSU). Fill face (6) Evan Bockman from Utah Valley in consolation Semis.
HWT: (8) Konner Doucet beat Chris Island from Cal Baptist 2-0 in first round, got stomped by (1) Wyatt Hendrickson 12-3, won a 3-0 decision over Xavier Doolan from N. Colorado, then pinned (5) Michael Wolfgram from W. Virginia. He will face (3) Zach Elam in Consolation Semis.
All in all an OK day. Had some bright spots (Doucet, Witcraft). Really sucks about Carter's injury. Sheets stunk. Hope he can rehab it. We are in 3d place and will take a ton of work or big losses to move up or down from there.

Seems like we hear that very often. We *should* be loaded or we *could be back next year* and it hasn't happened for a very long time.

165 gets 8 AQs so Sheets has an outside shot at an at large bid

So 9 for sure in to the NCAA's with automatic qualifiers. Sheets has to win one more and hope for an at large bid it looks like.

Doucet picks up I guess is a medical forfeit to finish 5th

Wittlake and Surber absolutely dominate their 3rd place matches. Surber had 3:49 of riding time

Sheets gets a dominate 17-1 Tech fall. Finished 9th. Hope he can secure an at large bid.
Finals:
133: (1) Daton Fix (28-0) v. (3) Zach Redding (15-8) (ISU): Fix is 2-0 against Redding, both this year. 8-3 on Jan 28th and 5-2 on Jan 1.
157: (2) Kaden Gfeller (24-5) v. (1) Jared Franek (23-1) (N. Dakota State): Never faced each other.

Witcraft (unseeded) finished 3d
Fix No. 1
Young No. 4 finishes 6th (Injured)
Voinovich No. 5 finishes 6th
Gfeller No. 2
Sheets No. 6 finishes 9th
Plott No. 2
Wittlake No. 3 finishes 3d
Surber No. 4 finishes 3d
Doucet No. 8 finishes 5th
So far 3 beat their seed, 3 underwrestled, 1 matched. Second place headed into the finals 122 to third palce ISU 121. We have 3 in finals (1 favored) to ISU having 5 (1 favored). Their 1 favored is David Carr but he is wrestling Kegan O'Toole, so I'd call that toss up if anything.

Committed to us. Would have come if Ferrari hadn't flamed out. Ended up at Penn State instead. If we had Kerkvliet and Ferrari this year Mizzou doesn't have a chance of catching us. That puts 5 Pokes in the Finals instead of 3. Maybe 6 with everyone shifted down a weight class because of Ferrari.
