Speaker 1 (00:30):
All right, man, we're
here.
It's another edition of the CavCorner.
It's Cav Corner number four.
Pretty excited about this one.
We've been excited about all ofthem.
We again.
We'll just briefly touch on acouple things that we typically
do, but we're here for theCavaliers, virginia Cavaliers,
men's wrestling right, that'swhat we're here for.
We have a great lineup comingup this weekend, not this
(00:55):
weekend.
Listen to me talk Tonight.
Tonight I'm talking about likeit's like future tense here,
like it's not till tomorrow,it's coming up tonight.
I'm putting this out a littlelate.
I do appreciate you guys tuningin.
My apologies for making it alittle late here, but I had a
bunch of stuff going on thisweek.
Just able to get to it now.
But we still want to do this.
We'll have this out in plentyof time.
(01:17):
You guys obviously be listeningto it.
We'll have it out a couplehours before the duel, typically
doing that anyways, doing itthe day of the duel.
Maybe we'll do a couple orsomething like that, like a
couple days or something likethat before a duel, but since
the season's wrapping up wedon't have too many
opportunities to do that.
But that's kind of how we'redoing it right now.
Again, I'm going to reiterate Idon't get lineups from coach.
(01:39):
We ask certain questions ifthey think a guy's going to be
around or not, but really basethis off of what we want to see,
and that's what we've beendoing the past couple of weeks
is just what we want to see.
Guys that we've been missing,thinking they'll be coming back.
Um, we know that some guys aregoing through some illnesses for
a little bit, um, so we knowthat some of those guys are
bouncing back.
Um, hopefully, this is going tobe a duel that they can, you
(02:10):
know, get that, get thatpositive state of mind coming up
with the with the rest of theseason coming or with the
postseason coming, um, but, uh,we think this is going to be a
great duel.
So tonight they wrestle againstduke the blue devils, right?
Um, I don't think that this isgoing to be a problem for us.
Um, again, I I'll read it.
I use wrestle stat.
I love wrestle stat, so youguys haven't used it, been on it
.
Go to wrestle stat and checkout all the information they
have on there.
I would describe to you exactlywhat's on there, but there's so
(02:34):
much stuff and it's the amountof information that they sift
through on a weekly has got tobe insane, but but the way that
they keep this, the informationthey have on here, is fantastic.
They're doing Hodge Trophy runsas well.
They have a Hodge Trophy racethat they got going on here.
So there's a bunch of stuff onhere.
Check out WrestleStatcom.
(02:56):
This is basically what I use forme to preview duels.
I think, like Flo uses them tooonce in a while.
They talk about their stuff.
But this is pretty accurate.
I mean they were pretty righton the ones that I thought we
were still going to.
I mean I want to be a littlepositive right With our guys
that they they were showing usthat they weren't, we weren't
going to get it done.
I said we were a couple of them, we did a couple, right, shit
(03:20):
happens.
What are you going to do?
But, um, we do this so that waythese guys get a little more
exposure, get a little moreattention.
Um, I don't think these guyshave a show out there, so that's
why we're doing it anyways.
Virginia against Duke.
So we're going to say that it'snumber 41, virginia, number 73,
duke, right?
Um, they have us winning 37,nothing.
(03:40):
Um, that's I'm going to saythat's highly accurate.
We'll look through.
I'm still.
I'm still gonna, if we got onethat we're winning.
I'm still might be a littlejudgmental on something, right,
I mean, I still coach, so it'snot like I'm a ncaa coach or
anything like that, but I'vebeen watching these guys now for
a little bit and hopefully weget to see a little more action
from, like I said, some of theguys we've been missing.
(04:01):
But, uh, I, we definitelyshould have this one in the bag,
I would think.
Right, so we're gonna start offat 125.
Uh, I'm gonna say this againabout names.
I screw them up all the timeand you guys are gonna be like
why does he say this in everyepisode?
Because I apologize to the guysthat screw up.
Um, I've been saying kivion orkavion.
(04:23):
I believe it's kivion.
It's the way it's spelled.
Rightion, it's the way it'sspelled, right, you think it's
the way it's spelled, it's theway you should pronounce it.
But I'm going to say Kevionroller.
I got him at one 25.
Uh, he's got this guy.
Uh, dead to rights.
They're saying tech fall.
I'm going to go with a pin onthis one.
Um, I'm thinking KVN is goingto.
You know, come out and reallystart the.
(04:44):
Uh, start the duel foreverybody.
I'm going with a pin.
So they got tech fall 19 tothree.
I'm going to go with a pin.
Um, thank you, russell, stat Iman, the amount of information,
it's just crazy.
I have again, I have friendsthat that do stats and stuff and
they do rankings and the amountof information that they have
in their spreadsheets is justabsolutely nuts.
(05:04):
But they know what they'redoing, right.
A lot of these guys have beendoing this stuff since forever.
So we're going to go down to133.
I'm going to say Gable Porter,let's see KB on Roller had.
We'll go back to 125 quick,because I'm guessing that
they're going to have EthanGrimminger Guessing right.
(05:25):
Again, this is just me guessingwho I, who I think these guys
are going to have.
I don't know.
Duke and their coaches don'ttell me who they got coming up.
So this is all wild guess right.
And then, uh, so that was one25 with Kevion roller against
Ethan Grimmage.
I'm calling pin one 33.
We got Gable Porter.
Um, we got Gable Porter.
(05:47):
He's number 64 against RaymondAdams 133.
I think Gable's coming back witha little bit of a vengeance.
They're saying major decision.
I'd like to see him coming outwith a pin on this one, right,
I'd love to see a pin on thisone, especially for Gable.
Let's see if we can't get him apin.
But they're saying majordecision I'm gonna go tech fall,
(06:09):
right, I'm gonna go tech fall,but I'm pulling for a pin.
So I'm calling tech fall onthis one.
So that's uh, that's kind ofwhere I'm at with this match.
This is going to be pretty set,I think, in stone as well too.
Um, gables got this.
We've been surprised, right,we've had some matches already
in the past couple weeks that wewere surprised by that.
You know, maybe they were goingto win the match but didn't
exactly turn out.
(06:29):
It turned out a little worsethan what we wanted to, but
things, things happen, right,that's we.
We build on week to week.
This is all building blocks forthe postseason.
So, um, so that's 133.
I got gable porter.
I'm gonna say tech, but I'mhoping pin, right, I'm hoping
pin.
Um, and he's going againstraymond adams, so this one
shouldn't be a problem.
Um, I know that they havecommon opponents and, uh, gables
(06:53):
beaten every single one.
I think he's seven and sixversus raymond adams has two out
of 13 against common opponents.
But I gotta pay attention.
I got my french bulldog downhere.
Likes to get into everything,right, otisdog down here, who
likes to get into everything,right, otis, otis.
Yeah, he likes to get intoeverything.
I got to make sure he's noteating paint chips or something,
because he's crazy, anyways.
(07:13):
So that was 133.
Next up is 141.
We got Dylan Sedano.
I'm calling my guy again.
I think they're calling Techwhy I'm calling Fall Sedano.
I'm calling my guy again.
I think they're calling Tech.
Why I'm calling fall.
Sedano is going for a fall.
Their position in rankings isnot even close, you know, and
Sedano has just been a fireman,so I'm calling a fall for him.
(07:37):
What is that?
Two now, again, I'm just really, really biased here, guys, and
no one's surprised, right?
This is a Virginia Cavalierswrestling show, but this one I'm
going to call a fall, right,they're calling tech fall.
I'm calling fall Sedano againstColeman Christian Coleman.
We'll see if that's the turnout, but pretty confident in who we
(08:02):
have on that one, dylan Sedanois going to come out with a pin,
so that's going to be a big one, and then I think we could be
looking at.
I want to make sure I got thisright here.
Oh yeah, I think we're, I thinkI I'd like to see again.
(08:24):
This is these are all thingsI'd like to see, and this is
someone that I haven't seen.
It'd be nice to see jack myerspop out right.
Um, haven't, haven't seen him.
I.
I think I maybe have seen himin one or two matches, but I
haven't seen the rest of theseason.
Be nice to see him in a duellike this kind of prove himself
and and put his, uh, put hisname up on the scoreboard a
little bit and make some noise.
(08:46):
So, as far as I'm pulling uphere, I'm going Sean O'Donnell
for 149 here.
Jack Myers, I think, is goingto pull this off.
They're saying major.
I don't want to go too much onthat one.
I love you, jack, I justhaven't seen you in a minute.
But I gonna say it's gonna be adecision.
Major decision would be great,but I'm gonna balance it off of
(09:09):
some of the stuff that I'vegiven out already.
I gotta be a little careful,right, I don't want to be too
wishful thinking, but, um, I'mgoing jack myers against sean
o'donnell.
I got my french bulldog buggingme here.
He wants, wants, attention, buthe's not getting it.
Um, sean o'donnell, and theysay major decision 13 to 5.
I'm going to go with thedecision just because I haven't
seen jack in a minute.
It'd be good to see him comingout here getting that major
(09:30):
decision, though.
So let's, let's do that.
Um, by all means, jack, pull itoff.
Um 157.
I'm going back to nick sanko.
I think I did last week too.
Um, again, I don't.
I'm not basing anything off oflast week.
I can base off of what I thinkthey got, how they looked, um,
you know, and a couple of theseguys look pretty solid.
I think I think I mentioned itin the last one gas tank's
(09:53):
important man.
Um, I think we saw in a couplematches last week.
You're, especially when you'regetting worked, a little bit
right.
I mean, you got to try and makea comeback, and it's hard to do
that when that gas tank's notthere and it's it's not easy
either.
You know, when you're in themiddle of that match and when
you are getting worked, you'retrying to make your way back.
You're that tired it's thatthat way is not only on your
body but on your brain, so itgets.
(10:14):
It is difficult, um, but Ithink Nick Sanko is going to be
one of them here at 157 thatwinds up pulling off something
that we aren't expecting.
They're saying decision I'mgoing with major decision.
On this one.
He's got, I'm guessing, loganFerraro.
I think hopefully, logan, youcan yell at me too if I got that
(10:34):
wrong Logan Ferraro againstNick Sanko.
I'm calling Sanko on this oneon a major decision.
They got 12 to 5.
I'd be willing to say 13 to 5,14 to 5.
Um, I I got some.
I got some uh, inside my brainthoughts here that uh, sanko is
going to want to come out andmake some, make some noise and
beat his chest a little bit hereand possibly get a pin if he
(10:56):
can.
But, um, they're sayingdecision I'm going to go, major
decision with sanko.
Uh, we head down on to 165.
It's our guy, nick Hamilton.
You know, I don't know thatNick is really going to have too
much of a problem with AidenWallace.
They are closely ranked.
They're saying a one-pointdecision.
(11:17):
I think it's different.
I don't think it's a one-pointdecision, I think it could be
like a four or five pointdecision.
Um, hamilton, I didn't look andsee what these guys, how they
faced off last year.
Let's see what we got for somestats here.
I don't think they wrestledeach other or had their common
(11:37):
opponents are fairly equal.
Um, nothing too too outlandishhere as far as who's taking one
against uh, common opponents.
But again, this is the onewhere I'm going to call sanko
and you're not saying a hamilton, and uh, I'm going to think
he's going to be more than justa seven to six.
I'm going to go with like a 13to six decision.
So that's where we're at withthat.
(11:58):
Um, if you guys are keepingscore, great, but that's, that's
a regular decision.
On that one again, the therankings are kind of close and
so far, with the teams thatthey've faced and some of the
guys that they've faced, whenit's kind of close, they've been
fairly accurate as far as theturnout.
But I'm not disputing adecision, I just think it's
going to be more than 7-6.
So that's 165.
(12:20):
We got Nick Hamilton for thedub.
Then we're going on to 174.
Um, I, as far as who's where,who wrestles at what, who
weighed in at what, uh, it'salways different, right, and I
know that some of these guys canmake different weights.
Um, I don't know the status ofall of our 174s, but I do know
(12:43):
that Stefanelli is able to makethat, I think.
But this is me guessing.
Okay, this is me guessing.
I don't know where JustinPhillips is.
I'm guessing he's either sickor injured.
I haven't heard anything.
I've got no confirmation on anyof that.
Rocco Contino I know Rocco gotpretty sick, so I'm guessing
(13:04):
that there's still kind of anillness bug with him.
But this is just me kind ofgoing off of information that
I've seen.
Again, the coaches don't pass meanything, but anyways, I'm
going to go with Stefanelli here, and they have this with a 12-5
decision.
Their rankings are pretty wellseparated, but not totally.
(13:27):
They're on the lower half of150, but as far as who they have
, I'm going to go with GitanoConsul.
That's been their prettyregular guy.
I know that he's had some wins,I believe, against one of our
guys.
Nope, nope, no common opponents.
So there it is.
(13:47):
So, but the ones that they dohave, we have Stefanelli's a
little more.
Um, there's a bad wordage thereum, a little better outcome.
So, but, uh, they gotstefanelli with 12 to 5.
I'll go with that.
12 to 5 sounds good on that one.
(14:09):
But uh, they definitely give usthe dub on that one.
I'm not going to disagree.
Um, yeah, 184.
I'm gonna go griffin gammill,uh, against david hussey.
Um, again, again, a littlefurther down in the rankings,
but the separation of therankings they have.
Major decision for Griffin.
I'll go there.
I'll go there with the majordecision.
They got 14-3.
(14:30):
Sure, I'll take that.
I'll take that one for sure.
Any of their common opponents,it's been a common outcome, so
this looks pretty accurate to metoo.
197.
Again, my man, steven burrell,man, I, I'm telling you, man,
pull that double leg out.
(14:50):
Let's see the double leg, let'ssee it.
I want to see it, I love it.
It work it a little bit more.
Uh, have, I don't care, havetrent work with you in the room
and just circle around and getin different positions for that
blast double.
Just just work it, cause Iloved, I love seeing every
minute of it.
Um, but, uh, they got, let'ssee wrestle stats got a quasi
(15:11):
Bonzu.
I probably screwed that one up,um, but they got decision by
Burrell.
I'm going to go major decision.
They got 11-7.
Yeah, I'm going to go 16-8.
I'm going to go just pullingoff a major.
That's me right.
But Russell Statt still got himwith the decision.
(15:32):
On that, we're going to go astep above and we'll go down to
heavyweight.
I'm going.
Gabe Christensen again.
I think a lot of these guysagain are getting ready kind of
for the end of the season.
A couple of guys they want toget out there because they
haven't had a lot of exposureyet this season.
A wild guess for me, but GabeChristensen against Connor
(15:53):
Barkett I think I'm guessingagain, but I love these matchups
because they are still so close.
Yet we have the advantage allthe way through they're going
with a regular decision.
This is going to be.
This is going to be a tough one, right?
(16:13):
Connor is a little bit more upthere in rankings as far as Gabe
, but Gabe is just watching himwrestle so far this year and
looking at their commonopponents.
Yeah, I got Gabe still pullingout.
(16:35):
It looks like Gabe got pinnedby Conor in January but they
still got.
Just based off of stats, theygot Gabe winning 9-8.
I'm going to go with that.
We'll go 9-8.
We'll agree with Russell's stathere.
Again, you know a lot of theseguys again coming off illnesses,
coming off injuries, thingslike that.
(16:56):
It's tough.
So we're excited for this onebecause this should be able to
get these guys to put theirstamp, you know, on a good duel
for the season here, especiallycoming up to the postseason.
You got to have that confidenceright.
You got to be able to build andexpound on what you've already
progressed with right.
So I'm looking forward to it.
(17:17):
Tonight's pretty special.
It sounds like there's a casinonight kind of auction going on.
It looks like there's a DaveMatthew night kind of auction
going on.
It looks like there's a davematthews band um tickets that
are going to be auctioned awhole bunch of stuff like this.
This is probably going to beone.
I wish we could be there for.
This one.
Uh, probably one of the coolernights are going to have.
Um, I think it's at the jpj and, uh, if you guys haven't
(17:37):
noticed, uh, they did just honorcoach garland.
Um, and mr and Mr Harshaw theirnames are now up on the gym.
Uh, gym room is dedicated tothem now.
Um, so that's awesome.
Uh, I I'm really excited tohave Liam get down there again.
I reiterated on a tweet that Iput out that when we went there
(18:00):
um, paulson's are awesome, ianParker great guy.
But the one thing that my wifeand I were looking for and I
can't express this enough is wewanted Liam to be in a room and
being coached by someone thatparented similar.
His coaching style was similarto our parenting style.
That's what we were looking for.
And, talking to Coach Garland,he was honest, he was upfront,
(18:24):
he was everything that weexpected a coach to be Didn't
pull any punches, wasn't tryingto, you know, sweep one under
the rug with us or anything likethat.
And you know they're not allthe coaches were, but we had a
couple of coaches that were wecould.
I could tell, at least I couldtell we're not being the most
upfront, weren't necessarilylying, but they weren't giving
(18:45):
you all the information either,and I get it.
You know this is, this is aprocess.
But coach garland and in clan,those guys made us feel like
we're again at home, right, andthat's how liam felt.
Um, so no one more deserving ofthat than Coach Garland.
I'm not totally familiar withMr Arshaw yet, but I'm sure
(19:07):
we'll get to meet him Also,probably a well-deserving person
.
But I know Coach Garlandcouldn't be prouder and more
excited for someone to have thathonor.
So congrats, coach Garland.
The other thing I wanted totouch on for Cav Corner, right,
we got the postseason coming up.
What I do want to do is and Ithink I talked about it a little
(19:30):
bit in the last episode iswe're going to follow along with
these guys a little bit throughthe ACC's.
Then we're going to followalong with these guys through
the NCAA's the ones that qualifyright.
So we're going to be watchingthat.
But once that starts to wrap,so we're going to be watching
that, but once that starts towrap up, we're going to start
talking about some of the newguys coming in.
You know we've got the 2025class that's going to be
graduating this year and they'regoing to be going into the room
(19:51):
next year.
So we are going to starttalking about some of those guys
coming up.
2026 recruiting class is alittle bit smaller, so we might
actually include those guys intoit.
Right, we'll talk about maybesome of their high school career
briefly.
We'll only be able to get somuch info.
We'd love to get some of thoseguys on the show, talk to them.
(20:12):
We'll wind up getting someinformation on those guys and
how their senior season ended up, maybe some of the tougher
matches that they had, some ofthe tougher competitions they
were at.
A lot of these guys that arecoming in I know emmett, uh,
sherlock, he's a senior thisyear.
He's graduating.
He's in the top 10 on willie uh, willie's list as well.
So we, these guys, are doingsomething special, right?
(20:36):
Regardless of what we havegoing on this year, we're
building and we're going to keepbuilding.
Um, you know, just with some ofthese guys, when, when guys like
you know, liam or Emmett, orwas that paradigm that's out of
Lake Island prep guys like that,when they start going to these
places, it's just like any otherschool, other kids that are of
top caliber want to go right,they all want to, they all want
(20:58):
to get to a place like that,when they see these guys picking
spots and become successful.
So that's why I want to kind offollow up on some of these
younger guys that are coming in.
We'll be able to see wherethey're coming from, some of the
success they've had, and maybewe'll get a couple of them on
the show and be able to talkabout the success that they want
to try and get to Right.
So, with that being said, ifthere's anything that anybody
(21:21):
wants us to cover as far as theteam, if there's certain things,
again, shoot us an email.
You can message us on socialmedia.
We're on Twitter, we're onFacebook, we're on Instagram,
we're on TikTok once in a while.
It's not a huge thing there forme, but just reach out, let us
know if there's someone you wantto see.
You know, like tonight we gotSarah Hildebrandt coming up,
(21:43):
olympic gold medalist from thefemale team, and we are way
excited to have her on, wayexcited.
But we'd love to get one ofthese guys on.
I know we've talked to a few ofthem Season's on, so we're kind
of on pause with that.
But with these high school guysfinishing up and wrapping up
some of their high school days,we want to get some of those
guys on too.
(22:03):
We know Fargo is coming up andother guys are doing US Open too
, so we want to try and catchthem in between that.
But we're really excited to beable to do this.
Again, we really appreciate theCavs for kind of letting us
cover this stuff and do this.
But again, once we kind of getmore on our feet, we know more
after this year we can.
Once we kind of get more on ourfeet, we know more after this
year, we can start talking andelaborating more next year.
(22:25):
I'm not a big fan of trying toblow things out of the water,
right, I'm about organic growth,so I'm going to take the little
bit that we learned this yearand we're going to build on it
into next year.
I could have a stat sheet infront of myself paying attention
to what we have.
That's kind of how I get intothings, but not as smart as
these guys at WrestleStat andsome of the guys that I know
that do rankings so, but it'sjust nice to be able to have
(22:47):
this info, and, again, I reallyappreciate the team letting me
cover them, and we're all aboutthe Cavaliers.
We're excited for this upcomingpostseason for these guys, and
we're even more excited for theseason coming up next year,
because it's going to get a lotbetter.
Because it's going to get a lotbetter right, it's going to get
a lot better.
We're going to make a lot morenoise, and I think we're going
to get a lot more excitementcoming through.
(23:09):
We're going to make sure wegive these guys the push that
they need, going into thepostseason, though, and making
the noise that they want to make.
So we appreciate you listening.
If it sucked, I'm sorry.
So we appreciate you listening.
If it sucked, I'm sorry.
It's about we're about 25minutes in, but the dual dual
score looks like it's supposedto wind up at 37 and nothing.
(23:30):
We'll see a couple of closeones.
I think the one close one isgoing to be that, the
heavyweight.
So we'll we'll find out what'sup, but for the time being, man,
it has been a great pleasuretalking about the Cavaliers
wrestling and what they gotcoming up, so we hope you guys
will stop back and join us again.
But it's been another, anotheradditional.
(23:52):
We'll see you next time.
