I'm sure he'll be healed in 6 months but he had a previous shoulder injury that sidelined him for a while and all that time away builds up. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backward as they say.
Some think Tagen can manage his weight better and be effective at 141 but I don't buy it. I think the weight suck is holding him back especially on offense
Either the loser of the 149 battle go down, or have Vega start. I would say Cael Hughes, but there is a rumor he is hurt, so he might not be an option.
Credit for what though? His best two wins were against guys who went a combined 1-4 at NCAAs and he lost to two R12 guys. I expect him to improve a lot and he has a real shot to AA, but I don't see a reason to credit him with contender status.
Yeah he mentioned it in an interview some time after NCAAs but I can't remember which one. I see the Instagram thing you're talking about, that appears to be a post about his gf for her bday
The age disparity in wrestling is wild.
I think Blaze already has great offense, he just doesn't use it. Similar to Starocci, he seems to be able to score when he needs to, but frustratingly doesn't do much to score until then.
