What I kling onto is the fact that Nate, Micah & Bo all came so, so close to making the finals this year. tOSU came close to having 5 of 10 weight classes in the finals, that would have been outstanding. And they are all back next year. GO BUCS!!

On one hand I think Micah really didn't come that close this past year. Then you look back on the tournament Meredith ended up having and that loss doesn't seem quite as inexplicable as it did when it occurred. So I'll give you that one. :)

It's just that he had the lead with 20 seconds. to go and he gets caught with a switch, which rarely works in college. Then the kid gets to the finals against Heil, who was beat by Micah in HS, right? At Ironman?

According to IMAR twitter account he will be at 165 next year. Will we see Bo vs. IMAR 3?

I am positive he, his family and TR know what is best for Bo. My opinion is he is a fantastic talent at a far too sucked-down weight.
As we say in our office, "I only know what I see" and I see a guy struggling with the cut. He looks so much better at 174, though with a limited sample size.
I think he handles Nickel (Nickle, Nickal, Nikal, Nikle?) fairly easily.

I have $10 in my wallet that says Bo doesn't tip the scale above 175lbs. I'd be willing to put down another $20 if the weigh-in was at 6:14pm tonight.

Really??? If that's the case, then any talk (including from me) about the weight pull being an issue are false. If he walks around at 175, he's a 165-pounder...and likely a NCAA third again next year.

You think Bo can't beat Imar? He has a positive history against him. Only two opponents have every beat him. I think he has a mental edge over Imar.

Let's not forget Bo had a good year by many standards and I'm sure his injury bothered him all year To perform like he did and coming down for the team tells a lot about his character

Imar is a different man than he was in high school, or even his redshirt freshman year. Bo can def beat him, but those high school matches mean absolutely nothing.

Imar is a good match up stylistically for Bo. Issac's approach to wrestling Bo was to sit back and not pressure into him. I'm not sure Bo's offense is built to create that much scoring opportunity if the opponent doesn't pressure. Imar is full tilt pressure, although he did demonstrate an ability to sit back against Nolf. Should be entertaining.

Kollin Moore has been wrestling great this morning at the Jr FS World Team trials and has won the mini tournament and will face Jacob Seely of Northern Colorado in the best of 3 finals later today for a spot to represent USA at Jr FS World Championships in France this August.
**UPDATE**
Moore really looked good in match 1 and scored a TF against Seely!

Heck yes!
Coach Jaggers once said Moore was one of his favorites on the team. (To be fair, if you talk to J long enough and he says that about the majority of kids though. :-D That's so Jaggers.)

So impressed by Moore! He just took 2 straight for the right to represent the US at JR World Championships. I know those camps are gonna make him better, but he already looks like a hammer at 96kg (212 lbs)! When he drops to 197, I think he immediately enters the AA conversation.
