Covid messed up stuff for a lot of guys, but few people are giving Lugo a title because of it. Hall looked good against Kem in Big 10, but had a loss to Kem in the dual. The Mark Hall that we were supposed to be getting wasn't supposed to be in the same ballpark as Kem.
Keep in mind that Hall won two golds at Junior Worlds, and one at cadets. Zahid, a one time silver, was really good, but not thought to be in Hall's stratosphere coming in.
Things change, guys develop at different rates, etc. But Hall's career trajectory did not go as planned. In fact, he doesn't seem to have much "go to" offense tbh
