'25 NWCA All-Star Classic, 11/1, thread

[pish69]

At Rutgers .any news of participants? I would have headed up but the only PSU guy I can see going would be SVN. The rest of the guys will be at U23s around that time.

Just saw a tweet showing Shawver and Pinto in for RU.

Could be the weakest classic ever

Would love to see SVN/Henson. Been a few years since that match happened

Maybe send PSU JV team vs the NCAA allstars.
I have PSU going 4 and 6 in these matches with wins by Ono-Kasak- mirolosla and Henkel

 

[Joejitsu]

maybe a PSU vs PSU match...
at least Blaze vs Braden, or Ono vs Nagao, or Dalton vs SVN, PJ vs Kasak, Connor vs Rocco (or barr) or Will Hanckel vs Levi....Luke vs Nate Desmond and I can keep going,.... some of these would be as entertaining as PSU vs the NCAA

 

[Joejitsu]

A PSU vs the NCAA would be fun though
125 Luke v Vincent Robinson 3-0
133. MBlaze v Ryan Crookham 6-0
141 Ono v Luke Stanich 9-0
149 SVN v C Henson 9-3
157 Kasak vs Antrell Taylor 12-3
or Duke vs Shapiro
165 Mitch v Joey Blaze 15-3
174 Levi v Simon Ruiz 19-3
184 Rocco v Max Mc 19-6
197. Josh Barr v Mac Stout 23-6
hvy Cole v AJ 23-9

We could easily sweep this!

 

[Sunshinedynomite 1]

That is cra cra

Matchups are out on Flo. Maybe someone more tech capable can post. No PSU.

Some good matchups but nothing compelling.

Ryder at the All-Star Classic before his first career attached match is funny.

Wonder if the dual championship Ok St. is putting on is affecting participation.

Wow, is this lacking!

I still can't let go of Ryder.

Other than that, not nearly enough suspense, and zero 1 v 2. The last three are intriguing, but enough to fork over the $ for PPV? Nah.

PPV? Pretty sure you just need a Flo subscription

 

[Goggles Paisano]

PPV? Pretty sure you just need a Flo subscription

At least at this moment in time, the two are the same for me

Looking at the projected PSU schedule and TV coverage, regretfully that will probably change soon, and I'll get gouged for the monthly subscription.

All Star match void of top talent, PSU embarrassment of riches, Lehigh match could prove to be very interesting!

Looking forward to that one. No doubt our best out of conference dual. Wrestlestat has them winning 3. Could potentially be 4 if you give them Seymore over LL.

That being said. When all is said and done, they probably take 2 somewhere. We can also shut them out especially if Ono goes 141.

Cole/Taylor will be a nice measuring stick

this is an anomaly... think coaches declined invitations?

In the past the coaches said they leave it up to the atheletes.

7 of our wrestlers will be in Serbia thru 10/27 at least for the U23 Worlds and probably a few others as workout partners so I don't think there was much chance of any PSU wrestler competing in this event.

 

[J Wil]

I was planning on going again, but after seeing the lineup I think I’m going to pass

 

[Matter7172]

Not exactly a hot ticket so far. At least getting in and out will be easy. I think Shawver and Pinto were added to try to get some fannies in the seats, but it doesn't seem to be working. $39 for parking doesn't help.

I dont think Tan Tom, The Brand bros, Manning or even DT would love it but PSU wrestling is in full domination mode.... it should be broadcast!

on a different note... can you imagine the elation with the brands thinking (when they signed him) that the addition of bassett, the younger bassett and melvin miller will put them back on the map and allow them to compete with PSU. I can just see their big board of roster and recruiting now... and then a few months later see all of that go to VTECH? I bet those names were never erased from their big board lol.

they have to be wondering is top 5 is real (that portal is the only thing keeping them top 5 right now).
