That is fair. A lot of unknowns with McNeil in that he is in a new training environment, how will he react to finally being on the wrong side of 30 and wrestling a college season, as well as a new diet (being that he is closer to his homeland, I assume he will be eating a considerable amount more of poutine).
Jokes aside, while I would love to agree with you, I don't see him being separated. In the last month of the season he lost to D'Emilio and Stiles. He also had one takedown matches with Abas (2x), Wasilewski, Alvarez, and Erik Roggie in the last month of the season.
