Carter Starocci vs Parker Keckeisen | 2024 NWCA All-Star Classic

[@willflum2847]

Carter might be the best defensive wrestler I’ve seen since Dake and Delgado back in the early 2010’s

[@mkmamolo6693]

Great way to end the match from Starocci, setting up and adjusting the single leg as needed, I like the heart the guy has

[@psmith6166]

Great match, thanks for posting it.

[@merk314]

and thanks for not spoiling the outcome in the title!

[@aantoine5819]

Parker will go down as one of the greatest 1X champs ever

2x*

​@@LakeNonaFan yea that's not how things work. Don't get me wrong, I still think Starocci takes it tho

[@LakeNonaFan]

You never know what can happen. It's like everyone thought Metcalf was going to beat Caldwell or Spencer Lee getting pinned.

[@kalebstuckey570]

This will be a great semi-final match in March!

[@eddiegalang459]

What makes you think they’ll meet in the semis?

[@kalebstuckey570]

@ Because Dustin Plott will be the 1 seed, of course.

[@gottagetbackintime.2124]

Plott currently ranked 3rd hasn’t demonstrated the level of proficiency on the mat that these two have consistently shown.

[@timx9661]

Unbelievable takedown.

[@167champ]

Parker should've fealt disrespected. Returning champ seeded number 2. But Carter proved why. Great match but Parker better let it fly next match or he will take 2nd by at least 6 points.

[@gottagetbackintime.2124]

He has no reason to feel disrespected by being ranked second to a four time champion. I do believe this will be the most competitive weight class this year. In a Carr Vs. O’Toole fashion.

[@traviss6670]

They're both returning champs...

[@167champ]

@traviss6670 i understand. And I also understand that you wrestle like a returning champ. And im more than positive that Parker didn't think he wrestled like a champion.

[@167champ]

@@gottagetbackintime.2124 did you wrestle before??

[@jomama969]

Why would he take poor shots for the sake of “letting it fly”? Starocci’s entire game plan is re-attacks off of poor shots.

[@andrewkay4040]

Man, NCAA has got to add a one-point step-out, the way freestyle does. The fact that Keckeisen can get that just-about-takedown in the first period and get nothing out of it is just silly.

[@1populist]

Parker could beat him next time. He almost had that takedown that went out of bounds.

[@prophetjuan8927]

No he can’t, he just could not beat the soon to be 5 time ncaa champ

[@theriskid]

Low scoring belies a great match here.

[@kairuswashington1114]

You can tell who actually watches wrestling and who just watches Penn State…Parker does this EVERY match regardless if he’s up 14 or tied…it’s not stalling

Nice match. NCAA finals?

[@MajinIKE]

They don’t ever call stalling against Penn State and it’s sickening

[@jjtwinz4035]

if anything kekeisen should’ve been, starocci was walking him down the whole match fr

[@MajinIKE]

@ starocci didn’t have a single attack the entire first period but no stalling🤷🏼‍♂️

[@dwnsouthboy]

Dude neither took a shot but Starocci at 20 seconds left did attack to the legs and controlled the entire flow of the period. Starocci controlled the center of the mat the entire match! Stalling? How many times Parker walk around before getting center after whistle? How long does he take walking from out of bounds back to center? Starocci was waiting on him every single whistle. Go get some cheese ya need it… Starocci is going to cake walk right to a 5 natty

[@xonman890]

Clown comment😂

[@clifflocklear2846]

Such a bad take. Carter pressured most of the match and Parker took more than a few extra seconds of time every chance he could.

[@Yinzer808]

Sure can get confusing… let’s go Carter let’s go Parker let’s go Carter let’s go parker

[@ep6305]

Why are we having wrestlers make scratch weight for this event it should be like a 5 lb allowance or skip weigh ins all together

[@CroMagJohnson]

the season has already started. why would they give an allowance?

[@ep6305]

@CroMagJohnson because this isn't an official match and it's for fun for the wrestlers. Forcing good wrestlers to cut weight for an event like this is counterintuitive. Probably makes good wrestlers a reason to turn down the event in the 1st place. These wrestlers have to make weight enough time why make them cut water weight for something like this

[@CroMagJohnson]

@@ep6305 they shouldn't be cutting much weight at this point is my point. they should already be within 2 - 3 pounds of scratch weight.

[@ep6305]

​@CroMagJohnson probably not the reality though you want to be a national champ and other guys are bigger than you if you dont you you have to cut some weight. Particularly at the lower weights especially like if you walk around 140 your going to down to 133 or 125 not wrestling 141.

[@CroMagJohnson]

@@ep6305 maybe at the start of the season. but after you make weight the first time you aren't going back up 7 or 8 pounds before your next weigh in unless there are several weeks . yo-yo-ing weight like that isn't good for you and in the long term affects your body's ability to perform when you are constantly cutting 7 or 8 pounds for every weigh in.

[@salvajeasp757]

Next time Keckeison will take his soul. On the biggest stage.

[@aiconehadishi3038]

How Keckeisen didn't get a stalling call that whole match is ridiculous. His little strolls around the mat were so bush league.

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

It really wasn't that big of a deal

[@zacharyniederklopfer8104]

6 point decision if they see each other again. Great match but Carter has the better room to correct shortcomings in. Quite likely a major next time but I also want the dynasty to change

[@jimbailey9915]

Parker needs to work on his gas tank.

[@kawikajones9436]

He needs to get a gas tank. Stalling at the edge of the mat by coming back to the mat when he felt like it since the beginning of the 2nd period.

[@Keemo.J.Bandit]

Apparently all they teach in Iowa is how to back up. Iowa does it and apparently UNI does too

[@armanifryeowens5518]

The starocci hate and Keckeisen bias is obvious but it’s unfortunate for you Parker lovers because Carter is better and Parker’s gonna lose, keep hoping but the inevitable is coming Starocci 5x ncaa champ soon

[@fatcatattack]

Zip it up when you’re done bud

[@adrianfrazier2156]

You'll have to wait to find out. Lots of things will happen before the NCAAs. Each one will progress, or suffer injuries.

[@jgrigg404495]

The hate is justified. His arrogance is world class. Check out his interview with Flo. He dismissed Keckheisen’s accomplishments as his opponents rolling over for him, and then started referring to himself in the third person. He could definitely do with some humbling. I doubt it happens this year. Most likely when he tries to make a senior world team or transitions to MMA.

[@tyngouamo7067]

​@@adrianfrazier2156Might I remind you that Carter did suffer an injury last season and still won it all

[@adrianfrazier2156]

Bad call in 2nd period: K should have been credited with a TD and 3 pts. Later Starocci got similar on the edge points. The NCAA finals are not a given. Kekeisen could beat up on him. Starocci's has in his career had a fairy ride--never any trouble. Now he has opposition.

[@JBell-zd8nf]

Either you’re trolling or you don’t know what a takedown is. Parker was in deep but never really close to securing the takedown.

[@avidadolares]

First time watching wrestling?

[@jackmcg0]

There’s not a single point where it’s even debatable if Keck got a takedown. Starocci objectively had a takedown in OT. Those positions weren’t similar at all. Also, Starocci went into SV with Kemerer as a freshman to win a title. The next year he went into rideouts against Mekhi. He beat two national champions with an injured knee in close matches last year.

[@BJJ_Jim]

You don’t become a 4 timer without facing challenges. Rewatch what Starocci did from his last dual on last year.

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

There were no 3 points for Kekeisen in the 2nd period. You're dreaming 👍🏻
