[ionel]

What will be the most interesting aspect of the meet?

Will Lee wrestle, will he gas again?

He may not have done himself any favors when he did the interview and dropped that wrestling was "always my call"....lets see how it goes.

 Maybe they should bump him up to 133 tonight to get a workout ... nah ... not gonna happen.

Lee ducked Ashton

[flyingcement]

My favorite ducking of all time was last year when Glory ducked Ybarra

[flyingcement]

Two matches that have been evenly contested, but without much action.  Hopefully we get something going soon

Chattanooga seems to have a pretty conservative style as a team

In the alumni emails Ruschell talks a lot about being “gritty” and “tough” and wrestling hard more so than creating offense. 
 

UTC is in a weird spot recruiting wise. They aren’t really appealing to most of the actual elite kids from the south. They mostly go to the ACC and around the country. They used to make a living out of getting those tough one timers/multi time placers from Indiana, PA, and Ohio. That usually would win socon or qualify. But they seem to have stopped really recruiting up north. 
 

They have a strong alumni base, so the program should be safe but not the kind that can donate Iowa, PSU, ivy money. 
 

They seem to be caught in a weird in between spot. Between not completely awful not actually good. Mediocre I guess. Hopefully they can get it on track
