He (Tom Ryan) did say he was hurt at NCAA's. I also remember Bouzakis saying in an interview he got really high in wt after big tens. I am really surprised he did not say Nic did what was best for him and the team and wrestled a great season then at tournament wt got high and was banged up. Bouzakis was hammer coming out of high school. Not everyone can translate to college. Then they recruit Davino at his wt class and Davino was better.
Interesting their true freshman year. Mendez did a crazy wt cut to 133 and Bouzakis redshirted. But Bouzakis beat Mendez that summer in freestyle to go to U20's.
