I think that there are cases to be made for wrestlers stagnating at OSU but it is not universally true. Just looking at the team last year - Plott has gotten much better each year. Olejnik improved in his one year at OSU. Teague Travis improved greatly. Sprately and Jamison did not have the NCAA tournament that I am sure they wanted to have but both had great seasons and made strides in their development last year. A person could go through every team and cherry pick examples of guys not living up to the hype. The biggest problem for John was the Ferarri / Mastrogiovanni thing.
