A few thoughts/questions about Mizzou:
125: I love Mauger’s style and aggressiveness, but he didn’t do as well as I expected this year. Maybe it’ s strength (lots of time to improve as a RS Freshman) or a few adjustments to his technique, but I have high hopes for Mauger. Will he stay at 125 next year?
133: Walker had a pretty good year. Thought he had a good showing at Big 12. Will he start at 133 next year?
141: Hilton had some good matches during the season, but didn’t have a good Big 12 tourn. As a RS Jr this year, is it safe to assume we’ll have a new 141 lb’r next year? Pretty strong class coming in.
149: It’s been frustrating watching Edmond over the years he’s been at Mizzou. I’ve never seen someone with as much talent have a style that is 90% laid back and 10% explosive power. Had high hopes for him when he started at Mizzou, but never seemed to develop as much as other Mizzou wrestlers have. Can’t wait to see Mendoza take over full time. Will Mendoza be able to make 149 next year?
157: Thanks for Teague T for coming back to Missouri. Will Conway get this spot next year? Can David Gleason compete? Kollin Rath needs a spot in our line-up, right?
165: Love watching Bambinelli. Look forward to him being full time starter next year.
174: Steed has had a tough year with injuries. Look forward to seeing him compete at Nationals and again next year.
184: What an addition Sinclair has been. I expect him to win it all at Nationals. I think his technique and confidence has significantly improved over the season. Looking forward to 3 more years! What a takedown machine!
197: Bates has improved at Mizzou and I hope he’s healthy for the nationals. I’d be shocked if he didn’t get a spot. Anyone know if the problem at Big 12 was illness or injury? Who will fill the 197 spot next year? Can Stillwell or Stoner drop to 197?
285: Stoner wrestled pretty well this year and at Bog 12 tourn. He’s got decent technique, stamina and quickness but he gets out muscled in his matches with bigger guys.
Danny Heiser: Is he good enough to find a spot next year?
