Warner is on a short list of guys that have all the tools but chose to wrestler so conservatively it’s like watching paint dry. If Warner is the president, Will Lewan is chairman of the board.

I'm sure burnout was real for McCauley. He was traveling for national wrestling tournaments regularly and practicing year round from the time he was 6-7 years old.
Destin McCauley was a SD youth wrestler that moved to Apple Valley, MN for middle and high school. He was at Nebraska for a brief stint before settling in at Nebraska Kearney (D2). Ended up being a 2x finalist and 1 time champ.
I would not be surprised to see Assad lose but March Jacob Warner is tough to beat. I would be very surprised to see Allred beat Warner come tournament time.
Pinto has very strong hips and good anticipation in those positions. When he fine tunes the more orthodox wrestling positions he is going to be a hammer.
If you think @flyingcement is off his rocker for picking Mendez just buckle up for the Big Ten tourney when my guy @jajensen09 picks Burwick to take out RBY!
I disagree. He did not like Barry Davis because Barry did not believe in Askren's ability to compete at the next level. I think that he doesn't like Bono because he shady and does not have the athletes best interest in mind a lot of the time. Say what you want about Askren but he puts a huge emphasis on believing in kids and making they truly enjoy competing.
