Hayden vs Gwiazdowski should be on in ~15-20 min on USA/Peacock (mat 3)

Hayden put it in cruise control after going up by 5 and advances to the challenge tournament finals to face 2x World bronze medalist Nick Gwiazdowski.

Rematch of the 2022 world trial finals that...

Hayden with a pair of 2 pointers and he's up 5-0!

Up 1-0 after one but need to get after it and hold center. Zillmer will very likely go on the passivity clock early in the second if he can't make something happen.

Got in deep on a single leg, but can't get stuck underneath like that. Dom is way bigger than Hayden

Hayden's match will be live on USA (at least to start) and also on Peacock on mat 2.

Let's go

Gwiazdowksi and Kerkvliet wrestled and Gwiaz won 5-1. Hayden would have a rematch if he can beat Dom Bradley.

Should start any minute now

Hayden will be on mat 2 in ~30 mins. You can definitely watch him on Peacock, but unsure if they'll show his match on USA with a combination of Men's Freestyle, Greco, and Women's Freestyle going on...

Hayden won his first match today at the Olympic Trials challenge tournament. He has big Dom Bradley in the semifinals tonight on either USA or Peacock. He's beaten Dom before and I'm expecting a low...

NDSU also picked up a commitment from Andrew Blackburn-Forst today, a HWT from Northern Colorado with 4 years of eligibility.

Had a rough freshmen year with a couple big losses to D2 HWTs who...

NDSU picked up Bradley Whitwright from North Idaho CC. Took 4th last year and the limited videos I watched, he doesn't look close to a capable D1 starter.

Wow, that is a terrible, terrible look for the staff. Dawson was brought in by Obe after the exodus and was one of the few guys that showed genuine progress throughout the year.

The freshmen they...

It's not like he was good, but he was very talented and just didn't develop. They already had no depth at the light weights and now their starter at 133 is gone.

That's two starters who have...

Fernando Baretto is in the portal. This program is in trouble

Spencer Mooberry to Northern Illinois. Ouch

That really, really sucks

I haven't see it anywhere as being official, but I've heard he'll be back.

Mason Gode has entered the portal too. Makes at least 8 that are moving on.

No longer see Zach Silvis on the roster...

Completely agree. Target the backups and young guys looking for opportunities. I'd love to see them take a shot on the 197 lb D3 national champ from Wartburg and Jacob Joyce from Stanford at 125....

Coming off a season in which the team finished 11th at B12s, only had two guys place at the conference tournament, and had only one NCAA qualifier, things are about as low as possible.

They badly...

Amantee Mills in the portal too. Another top 200 recruit from the 2023 class. This team was already perilously thin and the class they're bringing in doesn't look to have immediate impacts, so maybe...

Not great. Markell Rivera Cain, who was a top 150 kid in the 2023 class and a 197, never wrestled a match for NDSU after signing and hasn't been on the roster for a few weeks.

Zane Licht and Macray Klohs are both in the portal after their first year.

Licht was a top 100 prospect at one point, but fell off his senior year and then didn't show much his freshman year. I...

Franek winds up 8th after getting blown out by Peyton Robb. Still an All American, but a notable step back this year.

Caliendo gets 4th, so a notable improvement. Will very likely be a 4x AA.

Franek gets dominated by Shapiro, so he will wrestle for 7th.

Still an AA, but a decent step down from last year.

Caliendo will get somewhere anywhere from 3rd and 6th, which is an improvement

Caliendo with the first takedown vs Messenbrink in the national semifinals.

It'd be a real kick in the nuts if he makes the national finals
