Luke Stanich

Unfortunately for me, I didn’t pay much attention to Stanish until I saw him wrestle Bassett in the best of three series. But afterwards I realized that he had a great chance of doing very well at U20 Worlds.

It is just very hard for me to unsee the destruction Mendez put on him.  I would think that Hardy will do the same.

Different animals.

Two reasons:
- Folkstyle is not MFS
- Stanich barely beat Lemley and Orine as well.

the vito pat result was folk and both of those results were November of last year so I think he most likely has improved a lot since then. Jess lost to Cole Matthews in December of his Sophmore season. Matthews was 3-3 at the time and lost his next 4 matches after that win.

Yup.  It's impossible to be at your best in every single match, and improvement isn't linear.  

Guys like Vito and Mendez can put it on you if you show up with just a little hole in your game on that day.  It doesn't necessarily mean there's an insurmountable gap.
