And yes, I'm looking forward to the Brooks/Nickal match. If Sammy wrestles like he just did against Boyd, it will be a fun one. Bo is so hot right now though. He's lighting up everyone.
 
Brooks has turned into one my favorite Hawkeyes. Im excited to see that one for sure.
 
Michigan wrestles ILL on Friday as well so hopefully we'll get to see Massa vs Imar and Micic vs. Richards.

The announcer doing the BTN broadcast made mention prior to Richards match with Tomasello that he could be seen running sprints before weigh ins. I wonder if he is struggling with making weight and if that's been affecting his performance. Micic looked great against Montoya. I was surprised he decided to choose bottom since he seemed to be getting to his legs pretty consistently.
 
Been gone for a little bit, read the thread so glad I came back. And as I've always said #WARILLINI!!!

Jason Peters is no longer Pitt’s head wrestling coach as of Thursday and no longer works for the University.

Assistant head coaches Matt Kocher and Drew Headlee will act as co-head coaches for the remainder of the 2017 season, according to a Thursday Pitt press release.

Senior 149-pounder Mikey Racciato did not wrestle against Franklin and Marshall, Davidson or Bloomsburg last Saturday, and Peters was not there to coach.

The Pitt News has been looking into an incident that occurred during the team’s trip to Evanston, Illinois. Police responded to a call within the hotel where the Pitt wrestling team was staying for the Midlands Championships at Northwestern University.

Evanston Police Department Commander Joe Dugan shared details of an incident report from Dec. 31, stating that a 911 call came in from someone inside the Hilton Garden Inn at about 2:30 a.m. According to an employee at the hotel’s front desk, the Pitt wrestling team was staying at this hotel at the time.

The Evanston Police responded to the call, and when they knocked on the door of the hotel room, a 22-year old man answered, Dugan said. Police described the man as uncooperative, but he said one of his friend’s belongings — about $300 inU.S. currency — was stolen. The suspects were three black women whom the men had found on the internet, Dugan said.

The Evanston Police Department did not release the names of the men in the room in time for publication but confirmed that they were there for a wrestling tournament.

“It doesn’t mention if they’re in town to wrestle, to visit, to participate, as a viewer,” Dugan said.

Another 19-year old who was in the room, who said he was just a spectator, told police they had contacted the women via the internet as a “joke,” and that he left when the women arrived, Dugan said. The men who remained in the room did not want to pursue charges and did not want to talk further with the police.

According to a source close to the team — who asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak about the matter — Racciato and two other wrestlers along with Peters, were suspended indefinitely prior to last Saturday’s matches.

This source also said the wrestlers were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement Wednesday to not disclose information about the firing or suspensions.

Pitt Athletics spokesperson Julie Jurich declined to comment on the incident in Evanston, or whether the wrestlers had been suspended.

“Whatever we put out today, that’s all we’ve got,” Jurich said, referring to the university’s press release announcing the coaching change on its official website.

Pitt Athletics spokesperson E.J. Borghetti did not comment before publication Thursday.

Racciato declined to comment without permission from Jurich. The other two wrestlers also declined comment.

Peters had been the Panthers’ head coach since 2013, when he took over for longtime coach Rande Stottlemyer. He served under Stottlemyer as an assistant coach for 10 years, including nine as his top assistant.

Prior to Pitt, Peters spent four years as head assistant wrestling coach at Princeton University, as well as one season as an assistant coach at his alma mater, East Stroudsburg University.

I don't know anything other than what I've read. Pittsburgh is a small city but I don't have any connections here tight to the wrestling community.
 
Im super excited about Imar/Massa. I dont know if Massa can win but I think he is wrestling great and Im pumped to see it.

He is the most fun wrestler I've ever seen.

Sorenson looked fantastic but Cael's interview seemed to imply Zain was sick.

I still think Hall will put it together and win in March but he's obviously not a shoe in.

I think Nolf will bonus every other match he wrestles this season.
 
Got invited to an alumni night and watched Drexel spank Oregon State. Great night catching up with some old budschool and watching some good wrestling.

Hopefully Cimato makes the podium this year.
 
Heading over to Ohio State vs. Maryland at a local high school. Should be a fun atmosphere. Hopefully Maryland can win a match.
