I think it was just for him to get a couple matches in before next weeks dual against Ohio State. If you medically forfeit it technically doesn't count as a lossπ

Coming up on mat 8 is a all Hokies final at 125. Cooper Flynn vs Eddie V
Hokie on Hokie crime is nowππ°π
You can tell they been wrestling each other for basically everyday of the last year and a half. They know what both are gonna doπ
149 final is a Hokie vs former hokie final. Caleb Henson vs Sam Hillegas
They also gonna be on mat 8
Shout out to TJ Stewart for winning the 197 Freshman/sophomore division championship 8-5!
Eddie V wins 2-1 in TB. He is your 2022 southeast wrestling open 125 pound champion! Cooper Flynn is the runner up!
Henson Out Hillegas Hillegas and won 3-0π he is your back to back 149 pound southeast wrestling open champion!
And that's the final hokie done! Overall was a very good day. Crook looks like he should be the starter at 141. Catka and Smith looks like they have taken the jump. Henson looked good against guys that have been in the college rooms for years Mekhi was dominant for his 2 matches. Sam Fisher looks like a very good backup to bolen. At 125 Eddie V should be the starter. He's like 4-0 against Cooper Flynn. Only negative is Latona. Was it him adjusting to his new weight. Or have we seen the best that Latona has to offer already? I think we wait until the Cliff Klein Invitational to call what it is. But up next is a big match against Ohio state! I'll see y'all next Friday at 7pm!
Crook and Henson should be in the top 30 after this weekend
Thanks AP!
I see in the recap that Mekhi medically forfeited his last 2 matches? Was there an injury or was this a coaches decision? Does that count as 2 losses for him?
It was a coaches decision and they don't count as losses as he didn't take the mat for the matches

Anyone have any inside knowledge on the tv streaming for the Ohio state match on Friday?
Btn+ π so 9.95 for a month subscription that I'm only gonna use once π
It'll be worth it when we win!
How do you get it for $6.99? I saw $14.95/mo for all schools or $9.95/mo for just Ohio State sports.
Ahh someone said on tsl it was 6.95. They most have been wrong. My badπ
Just noticed Ulrey at 157?? What's going on with Andonian?
He's fine just a precaution
Well actually might be less fine. I went to the wrestle offs 2 weeks ago and I'm pretty sure he broke his toes
That's what I was afraid of. Heard him yell out and limp around for a bit. I assume that's what has him out tonight.
Signing day today π₯³ I think the Hokies will finish with a Top 5 class. It's big and stacked with talent.
This class is straight fire. Also one of the recruits Rafael hipolito is a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu world champion which is very intriguing to me
He's from VA.
RH
How did we do!
All of them committed. 6 in total. 5 in the top 100. 4 in the top 50
And the recruit that was not a top 100 recruit gives me Mekhi Lewis vibes
I haven't seen any rankings but Hokies claim it's top 5.
TJ's dad noted that the next class should be very strong as well.
Looks like we building a thing for sure.
Not a great preseason ranking but hey, we're top 20!
247 Preseason Ranking
So I can't watch the match tonight if someone else wants to do the thread
Actually if you have a flowrestling subscription you can listen to the match on FRL
