One of these guys will win 141: Matthews, Woods, Allirez, Bergeland, Shahar, Alvarez, Bartlett, Vasquez, Droegenmueller, Carlson, Hart, Swiderski, Crook or Belton. Taking bets now.
I would take Lee, Brooks, RBY and Starocci over O'Toole pound for pound right now... Maybe Yianni depending on how the season shapes up. There is a long way to go - looking forward to some of those 165 matchups.
I agree...but if we were to seed the NCAA tournament right now, the all-star matches would not factor into the equation. Ratings....Rankings....Seeding...
Those matches were 4 years ago.... I'm guessing now that Spencer has knees he might be a little better.
I was probably a C- but I was a master at hiding it.
I was surprised at how easily Gomez turned up the heat on Sasso in the 3rd round. Took him down several times with ease it seemed like.
O'Toole put any Hamiti upset talk to rest.
Kerk was dominant on his feet against big Papa Cass.
The Elam-Warner match may have went to OT, but Elam was clearly the better wrestler.
Claiming a freshman can beat everyone but Yianni generates discussion, and most of it will be disagreement. Not that hard to understand.
Feel free to root for you guys - get excited for your guys, but just know that pre-mature hailing of a king does not go well on this board and nor should it. If SVN proves the statement correct, expect this thread to be resurrected from the other side.
Not exactly true.... every coaching staff has leadership within their team that is shaping the younger and less mature wrestlers. Not saying its' their sole job or that the coaches are out of the picture... but to say that they don't have expectations on upperclassmen to lead by example, push the younger wrestlers and be part of sharping the younger talent, would be false.
