So true. The same goes for Marcus. Leading 6-0, he was the one forcing the action, getting the subsequent TD and turn for the tech. He didn't even looked like he was breathing hard after the match. They both are in great condition. I see continued great things for both of them as their freestyle careers progress.
I think it was 100.

I love that he and Ono are roommates and Marcus considers him one of his best friends, even though they have not known each other very long. Marcus said he picks Ono's brain about wrestling every day and Ono "teaches him all his stuff". Marcus also mentioned how tough the Penn State room is and specifically mentioned Zain and Jordan Conaway. There are lots of nuggets in this interview!

The stuff about him and Ono is awesome. In one of his interviews he said his gut wrench that he has been turning everyone with is a gut that Ono taught him. Ono turned everyone at U20’s and seniors with it so to then teach it to Blaze and watch the success he had with it was really f’ing cool. Blaze had been decent in par tarre but this tournament he was out of this world. I can’t wait to see how good Marcus and Ono become once they are in the room battling and learning from each other everyday.Great interview! I am continually impressed with these young wrestlers. Marcus comes across as an intelligent, articulate and respectful young man who has wisdom beyond his years. It is almost like Cael and the staff know exactly the type of person they want on the team! It also doesn't hurt that Marcus is a phenomenally talented wrestler also
I can't imagine how beneficial it will be for Marcus, Luke, Aaron, Braeden and others to roll around with Ono at practice on a consistent basis. I still can't believe Ono is at Penn State. What a great benefit to have someone of his caliber in the program. Penn State fans joke about it, but it is absolutely true that the competition in the room every day is better than they would experience at most any tournament.
He was oh so close to making the NCAA Finals last season.
Watching him beat Ferrari will be a beautiful thing. I’m really excited for 184 this year with Rocco, Max, and Ferrari. Does anyone know if Sinclair is going 184 or 197? He is right there with those guys as well
The PSU wrestling dynasty has happened at a time of the USA competing at the highest level internationally.

I encourage folks to watch that J’den Cox interview someone posted here. He opened up by talking about how as a nation of wrestlers, the focus has been shifting to “having fun,” and spoke of how much he is learning from Cael and Casey (among others). A lot of gratitude talk too. Bit by bit, “Gable Tough” is molting its way off, and Cael Enthusiasm is emerging as the national standard. You love to see it.
To be Iowa right now must really suck. If they weren't so arrogant, I'd almost feel bad for them. Nah, F Iowa.
Sinclair is going 184. Missouri has both 3x NQ Hawks and NW transfer/2x NQ Bates at 197.
Every time I see or hear the word ' louder ', it reminds me of George Carlin on stage. He'd say " is the louder family here? They just sit there and yell their name, louder, louder!"
In the interviews posted here yesterday, Cody, Eggum, and J’Den EACH spoke glowingly of the opportunity to learn from each other, and all the international coaches there…
