U23 VT Entries

Justin Basch currently list the following entries: Gorman - 65kg Nininger - 74kg Mullen - 125kg Looks like a 165 pound Noah is in for next season!

Ninninger

He teched his first opponent pretty quick. He had Bassett in the next round, lost 14-4. Had two really solid takedowns in the first and looked really solid, Bassett is just that so good.

Quarters results

Crook gets teched by McKenna quick (10-0) Huge win by Andonian beating 3 seed Panteleo (4-4) on a 4 point throw ** Edited by DrExSuess at 4/25/2025, 6:54:13 PM

Andonian won by tech, 12-0 in the second

looked to have hurt himself on a blast double then slammed into the table. finished the match tho

Three techs in round 1 of the US open

Cambell, Crook, and Andonian all go through without allowing a point. All matches ended in the first round.

Assuming this is true, does he take a spot or move some people up?

157: Miller / Hip 165: Miller / Hip 174: Church (absolutely ridiculous given he made 141 his redshirt year) 184: Wright (burton RS) IDK if miller is bigger than Hip is, hip had some good wins at 165 his redshirt year, but i think his style suits smaller weights.

Heres what intermat posted about the best guys that missed the cut

big ones for us are obviously wolak and tj. alot of good dudes trying to steal or get at large bids: 174 lbs At-Large: 4 174: ACC (4) - #21 Lennox Wolak (Virginia Tech) 174: Big 12 (6) - #19 MJ Gaitan (Iowa State) 174: Big Ten (8) - #30 Joseph Walker (Michigan), #31 Derek Gilcher (Indiana) 174: EIWA (4) - #33 Dalton Harkins (Army West Point) 174: Ivy (2) 174: MAC (3) 174: Pac-12 (1) 174: SoCon (1) - #28 Lucas Uliano (Appalachian State 184 lbs At-Large: 5 184: ACC (3) - #21 TJ Stewart (Virginia Tech) 184:: Big 12 (7) - #10 Colton Hawks (Missouri), #30 Eddie Neitenbach (Wyoming) 184: Big Ten (8) - #18 Ryder Rogotzke (Ohio State), #26 Jaden Bullock (Michigan) 184: EIWA (1) - #32 Giuseppe Hoose (Drexel), #33 Ross McFarland (Hofstra) 184: Ivy (4) 184: MAC (3) 184: Pac-12 (1) - #20 Brock DelSignore (Little Rock) 184: SoCon (1) I think head to head might hurt us given Wolaks loss to uliano and TJs losses to hawks and mcfarland. But hey win and it doesnt matter ** Edited by DrExSuess at 2/28/2025, 10:17:05 AM

Opening line of the dual is -7.5 NCSt

Since it has already moved down to 6.5, still seems wildly high.

We use a seeding matrix, that's mostly set in stone

officially its: 25% head to head 20% Quality Wins 15% Coaches 10% Results agains common opponents 10% RPI 10% Event Placement, ie conference 10% win % The biggest however thing is to allocate for the weight for the ACC. To do that you need 2/3: RPI (15 matches), coaches poll rankings (8 matches), or .7 win percentage (I believe their is a matches minimum of 8 but I'm not 100 percent sure). These are also minimums and if to many wrestlers qualify they up the standards. With the new coaches and RPI we auto qualify 9 weights for ACC, the only one that hasn't is Andy...

Frayer does an intermat interview

Gives a quick recap, gives us the dual lineup today. Side note: Church, Sasso, and Catka all listed as a starter on wrestlestat

Tom Crook at 141

Really shocked to see this. Last year, during his redshirt, he wrestled 149. Would have assumed he bumped up again, making the move to 157 for his redshirt junior year.

Full Seeds

Flynn gets the 11th, up against Brayden Palmer of Chattanooga Latona gets the 12th, up against Ethan Oakley of App State Crook gets the 20th seed, up against Jordan Titus of WVU Henson gets the 4th, up against Alek Martin of SDSU BA gets the 12th, up against Lucas Revano of Penn Brady gets the 18th seed, up against Brevin Cassella of Binghamton Lewis gets the 1st seed, up agaisnt Belencia of ASU or Baumann of Purdue depending on pigtail Stewart gets the 7th seed, up against Maximus Hale of Penn Smith gets the 26th seed, up against Glazier of the oragnes Catka gets the the 26th seed, up against Ghadiali of Campbell

Points of vunrability

3 at 141 is obviously brutal 2 at 165 is a tough draw with brady, fields, and heller, seed really matters here 2 at 285 is going to be hard with pitzer comes back Everywhere else I feel very confident in winning the auto bid.

Mullins gets the start

Does this indicate that he's beating Catka in house?

Coaches Poll 2 and first RPI

Coaches RPI Flynn 5 N/A Latona 11 7 Crook 13 N/A Henson 2 1 Andonian N/A 5 Brady 21 17 Lewis 2 N/A Howard 31 N/A Smith 25 13 Catka 17 14 While their are definitely guys that will fill out the RPI, our RPI is really high. For example Henson is 1 with Lovett at 3, Arrington is all the way down at 9. Love our tough scheduling model.

TJ Stewart bid allocation question

to earn an bit for the conference you need 3 things: 1. 70% win percentage 2. Ranked in the coaches poll ( 8 game min ) 3. Top 33 RPI (15 gam min ) As it stands currently TJ would have to win out to earn the auto bid, win percentage and would be ranked coaches poll. While I believe he will do it, I feel like he should enter some small open tournament to get the win percentage, in case of a loss. I don't know how these things work, is that an option at this point in the season? Can we wait till after the NC State dual?

Cooper Flynn with a ranked match too

He's got Spencer Moore, 29 intermat, who has a win this season over AA Brandon Kaylor.

Andonian back for acc championships

flo quote from Coach Robie: β€œIt looked bad,” he said. β€œWe were concerned. He's gonna have to take some time away and recover and heal, but he will be back before the ACC Championships. So that's something we're grateful for.”

By definition Bryce can't get the medical redshirt

The rule is less than 30 percent of dates or total 3 dates, whichever is higher. By best measure, Bryce is already at 42%. That being said the NCAA has been known to bend those rules. I'd much rather him just be alright, but theirs always a small chance BA can get the medical.

lineup

hokiesports posted the expected lineups. What you would expect, only interesting part is church or crook, fisher or JYD, then 174 is TBD for mizz. Really hoping we see crook and JYD!

Quote indicates that Hipolito is a 157

I'm assuming that's just because that's what he's listed on the roster. The guys that are moving weights, TJ and Crook, have direct say from Robie. Not saying he's wrestling at 165, just that this isn't indicating that he isn't.
