I don't think he's jumped levels. I think he's at the same level he was last year. But, he's wrestled a tougher schedule and I can't take @MNRodent seriously when he brings Taylor Lamont into the conversation.
Again not true. Crookham beat Vito earlier in the year & Bouzakis pinned Orine earlier in the year. The other losses are to Ragusin and now Shawver. All four ranked in the top 10 or (11) for Shawver in Intemat's rankings.
I'm going to provide the HR/GIA perspective. You see, Carl is only a great recruiter but not so much a great coach. He's clapping because he doesn't realize his wrestler actually lost. F*** State, Jerry Sandusky, Slush Fund.
