Elite 8 duals interesting results

[Truzzcat]

106: 

• Keegan Bassett 4-0 day 1 all inside of 6
• Shiloh Joyce 4-0 all bonus including a 13-4 over hudson chittum he has been super impressive

113: The margins at this weight have been very small and everyone has beaten everyone aside from one guy

• Brandon Bickerton 4-0 beat Caleb noble 10-6 and Braiden lotier 14-7 he did have a 12-11 win over Anthony garza but overall he has looked very very good to me.
• Jamison Forrest 1-3 everyone knows Jax but Jamison is really good very good scrambler and has some very good low ankle attacks. Needs to continue to work on his baseline defense and seems to get a bit overzealous on the mat 
• Anthony garza 2-2 has a win over Noble and Jamison 10-8 loss to austin brown and 12-11 loss to Bickerton. Was not super familiar with him before this event but he is a lot of fun to watch very bright future once he refines some things

120: 

• Dom Munaretto looks awesome. This is probably the best I have seen him wrestle in about 2 years I think he is finally the size of the weight he is wrestling.
• Alex rozas 4-0 he is not going to blow the doors off of guys but he is super stingy 

126:

• Ignacio Villasenor 4-0 he looks very very good. He has recently shown quite a bit of variance in his results so I am eager to see how he does day 2 but on day 1 he was awesome and I think he could knock of Mills who has not looked quite as dominant as he has previously.
• dont love to highlight guys struggling but Tommy marchetti is 0-4 and has given up a major or worse in all 4 matches. I am a big fan of the marchettis so I have to wonder if he may be sick.

132:

• Moses mendoza beat Karson brown 17-6 he looks AWESOME. 
• Dale corbin 4-0, I have been a huge fan of Dale for years and I think in the last 6 months or so he has really been hitting his stride excited to potentially see him against Mendoza

138:

• Kellen wolbert 3-0 the recent Michigan commit looks awesome as usual. He bumped up to 144 for a match and put it on rocco Cassioppi 10-4 but the match was not that close.
• Camden Baum is doing his thing super stingy never breaks his stance handfights hard hes 4-0 would be excited for him vs wolbert
• Jesse Grajeda 4-0 I still feel like there are times where he just coasts, but when hes attacking he is so damn good.
• Greyson music 3-1 this is the most impressive tournament I have seen out of music. His only loss is in tiebreakers to Grajeda and he beat curtis borge 8-1 really good sign for music.

144: 

• Tyler Traves took out Joe toscano and is 4-0 
• Bo is killing everyone 
• Raymond Fitzgerald has really impressed me, I am pretty sure he was heavier in 8th grade than he is now as a junior but he is looking really tough
• Davis Parrow has underwhelmed a bit to me his offense does not look great but his knee is pretty taped/padded up

150:

• This weight is crazy, Amato beats turi, Turi beats Russell, Russell beats amato and also loses to Hand who Amato majored. The rest of the weight is much of the same with guys losing to one guy and beating a guy that beat that guy.
• Xavier chavez and Ivan arias have been impressive to me

157: 

• MJ staples is a freaking beast 4-0 teched kage jones
• Justus heeg 4-0 is a man child

165:

• melvin = good

175:

• Jaydin O farrill is 4-0 and beat Mason Ontivaroes further solidifying himself as not just one of Mccorts good guys but one of their hammers
• kyle scott is 4-0 and looks very tough

190:

• Jimmy Mastny is really really good on top

215: 

• peter mocco did not have a good first 2 matches but then he had an awesome second 2 beating cash cooley in one of those
• Max konopk is 4-0 and looks super solid

Great recap!  Elite 8 needs to get more pub.  Matscouts and Flo don't give it any love.  Ridiculous if you ask me.  Ranked dudes are scrappin off the scale.  Shit, it's better than 32 and Fargo cause you don't have the warm up matches until the quarters.

I contend that if you want to see how a guy is going to hold up at NCAA's watch him at elite 8 because as you said there are no matches off. nationally ranked guys have losing records there every year.
