Meyer is not a grad transfer—he’s a Scholar All-American who had just one year left to earn his Ivy diploma. This portal move has nothing to do with health. As recently as last week, Meyer said he wasn’t entering the portal—money didn’t matter, and he was one year away from graduating with high honors and potentially becoming a 4x All-American for the Big Red. All of this suggests the move is far less about any immediate financial incentive and much more about his relationship with the coaches….to the point where he would possibly rather use his final season elsewhere, even if it means leaving his Ivy diploma behind. If things were good, this would not even be a consideration.

One of the slickest takedowns of the RAF card was Yianni’s ankle snag of Bajrang on his re-attack.

May be the most difficult hurdle for a wrestler to clear—trusting that the same offense that built the lead is what protects it. The instinct is to protect the lead, but the approach that creates better odds, less regret, and is simply more logical is to keep wrestling the same way that created the lead. Stay on the attack, stay in position, and keep applying pressure. The one who needs to change and create opportunity is the opponent who is losing. So why would you go ahead and assist them in this by back peddling and lead protecting, opening up two windows that weren’t there before? 1 – Stall points 2 – Allowing your opponent to solely focus on their offense as they no longer have to respect your attacks. You hear wrestlers in post-match interviews “We do this all the time in the room! Down 2 with 30 seconds left and working to find a takedown.” Not so much the opposite… “up 2 with 30 seconds left and just have to find ways to back up to protect the lead!” So why resort to something you don’t practice in the most crucial moments of a match—or your season? This is from the excellent series “The Climb” by Stilly Boys on YouTube — a segment from Episode 2: Road to the Big 12s.

This guy need not be under anyone’s radar at 149 lbs! That being one Koy Buesgens of NC State who is having himself a season this year at 15-1. One loss to Stiles which was very controversial. Koy just took out Aden Valencia by a 14-5 major decision tonight 😮! I look forward to seeing both #5 Buesgens (15-1) and #2 Jaxon Joy (15-0) battle it out February 20th in the NC State vs Cornell dual.

A one-time occurrence produced one of the rarest outcomes in NCAA history. There have only been about a dozen “wrestleback warriors” — wrestlers who lose in round one and fight back to finish 3rd. In 2012 (149 lbs), Donnie Vinson (Binghamton, Jr.) became one. What makes it unique: his 3rd-place match came against Cam Tessari (Ohio State, Fr.), who did the exact same thing — lost round one and won six straight to reach the consi final. Vinson won a 12–10 shootout, becoming the lone wrestler to complete the full wrestleback run in a match where both competitors lost in round one — the only time this has ever happened. ⸻ Extra (condensed bullets) 5 of the top 8 seeds failed to place (2, 3, 5, 7, 8) Vinson avenged his R1 loss to Lester (16–5 MD) Highest NCAA finish in Binghamton history Vinson: 4x qualifier; never won a R1 match at NCAAs Jr: wrestleback warrior (3rd) Sr: R12 finish after another R1 loss Tessari: #10 seed → 4th as a true freshman Later transferred; finished career at Lindsey Wilson NAIA finalist (Jr), national champ (Sr)

It came down to the tiebreakers. Davino led 2–1 and only needed to ride Blaze for 10 seconds. Blaze had managed just 9 seconds of riding time on Davino. Davino did ride Blaze past the 10-second mark, but Blaze hit a huge reversal to eliminate the riding time factor and win outright, 3–2. Blaze remained undefeated on the season, while Davino suffered his first loss.

Kannon Webster (Illinois) was down to Charlie Millard (Minnesota) 4-1 in their dual. Millard was looking to secure his second takedown when they banged heads. Webster clearly getting the worst of it. He would go back for concussion protocol and not return. We wish him and his health the best!

There only has been two of them. Talking about Two 4x Blood rounders. Two great wrestlers who just came up short of the podium on 4 occasions. Julian Ramirez (Cornell) had a career mark of 96-21. He had wins over 2x NCAA champ David Carr, NCAA champ Shane Griffith, and 2 wins over NCAA finalist Quincy Monday while winning 3 conference titles. Micky Phillippi (Pitt) had a career mark of 107-23. Phillippi had career wins over 17 different All Americans, a future NCAA champ in Byrd, and 5 NCAA finalist including 4x NCAA finalist Daton Fix. His win over Daton Fix was the only time in Daton Fix’s VERY long career that he was defeated in the regular season. I make this because, well, I love stats like this…I also make this not to shame these two in anyway; but rather celebrate the outstanding careers they had!!

Interview CP did with Caleb Henson on Flo. Here he says he plans to try and make 65 kg (143 lbs) for his World and Olympic aspirations. If he’s able to get down to 65 kg the right way, that adds yet another absolute dawg to an already loaded domestic race to determine our 2028 LA Olympic representative. Just naming a dozen off the top of my head in no particular order…. Bo Bassett (U17 World gold, U20 World bronze, Final X finalist) Real Woods (Senior World bronze medalist; only the 2nd American (Yianni) to medal at 65 kg in the past 2 decades) Luke Stanich (U20 World Gold) Aden Valencia (NCAA champion; had nail-biters with both Bo and Real) Vito Arujau (Senior World gold & bronze, U23 World Team member, U20 World silver, U17 World silver, 2x NCAA champion, NCAA MOW) Jesse Mendez (2x NCAA champion, 3x NCAA finalist, 4th at the Olympic Trials) Joey McKenna (3rd at the Olympic Trials, 2025 Final X participant) Brock Hardy (U23 World bronze) Marcus Blaze (2026 Senior World Team member at 61 kg, U20 World gold & bronze, U17 World silver) Jax Forrest (Senior World 5th, U23 World champion, U17 World silver, NCAA champion) Aaron Seidel (3rd at NCAAs, Fargo champion) Vince Cornella (U23 Nationals champion & MOW, U20 World 5th; lost to Aoyagi in the post-match challenge for bronze) Then you have anyone who moves up from 61 kg, down from 70 kg, plus plenty of other names I left out—and future stars who haven’t even arrived yet. What does Sergio Vega do? There are just so many legitimate contenders at 65 kg.

Many questions of the ages of the 1947 guys. Lowell Lange was young, born August 17th, 1928 making him 18 during NCAAs of 1947. As you can see, 2 of the 4, much older. FYI, “True Freshman” is not defined as someone who right away competes the fall semester following high school graduation. It means they compete the first year they are enrolled. The two fellas who were 23 below graduated high school, and went and fought in WWII for a few years before heading to college. Keep that in mind please before making any disrespectful comments about being elder freshman 😬. Sergio Vega- 19 Jax Forrest - 19 ——————— Lowell Lange - 18 Dick Hauser- 19 Joe Scarpello- 23 Dick Hutton- 23

Wow, Parris goes out against Trumble. You can see his arm and head movement after he goes unconscious. Scary stuff. They would review and remove the fall and pts due to “strangulation” Mason would take the W, 14-12.

Morgan State’s Yannis Charles has had a day. This at EIWA’s 157 lbs. Charles came in as the 12 seed at a weight which had only 2 allocations. He first upset 5 seed Nichter (Drexel) 10-4. Then upset 4 seed Nadeau (Binghamton) 9-7. Then came this in the semis vs 1 seed Jonathan Ley (Navy). Early on the two heading towards out of bounds and Ley Lateral drops him on gym floor. Coach Kenny Monday takes his wrestler back for concussion protocol while the action was deemed illegal for one point. It was decided Charles could not return. With that Charles has punched a ticket to NCAAs without even needing to wrestle the final while Ley will after Russell back for third and hope that he gets an out large to get in Not a good situation at all.
