hey Mr. Byers, Edsell has gotten more than one minute riding time. How many points is that worth? Sincerely, MD TV announcer
Byers again says Berge is expected to "take the starting job at 165" before adding that Edsell is wrestling really well and that it is "not a given."
Edsell seems to be wrestling with some confidence. I know it's MD, but Edsell looking pretty decent
165 is loaded this year. Hopefully he drops to 157 for Big Tens and Nationals. Much better chance to score points for us and possible AA at 157.

Greg,
We need Berge at 157. 165 is really loaded. Maybe he’s planning on dropping. Gotta have his points at 157. Guess will see.
I assume he hasn’t won the starter’s job. I see him on the bench, which at least means he’s in the consideration set if needed.
What can Greg do about it? Get him on a descent plan?

The guy who beat CStar to start last season. Good wrestler.
Love to see him get to 245-250 of good weight of course. Hope he’s hitting the weights like Cassar did. Looked good tonight.
Thanks @GregPickel and @Tom McAndrew for all the coverage and highlights. Tonight may be the best job of coverage for a match I could not attend and was not on TV I can remember.
Greg, you’ve got your work cut out for you this week! You need to feed Kerk and starve Berge!
Byers says during the Barraclough match that they think Negron can be a threat to score points at nationals, FYI, as it relates to the Berge/165 deal.
Tgar, it was on TV. You just need to pony up like 80 bucks to get a Penn State sub to BIG+.
