Define 'fine'. Oklahoma State wants to win, not finish 2nd or 3rd. And, looking at the past 10 NCAA tournaments, they only finished in the top 5 50% of the time. That is not the standard.
I was simply pointing out why people had a problem with DeSanto and not with MM. Sorry that triggered you.
I don't care about any of the antics DeSanto did at Iowa (cussing out the media member was odd, but I didn't lose any sleep over it). But seeing, in person, him trying to purposely severely injure another athlete because he was losing was all I needed to see.
I didn't say he was on Iowa when that happened. Don't assume things. You know what that makes you...I was just pointing out that difference between MM and DeSanto.
Starocci rarely dominates high level competitors, but he never loses to them (aside from Kemerer his freshman year). He beat Shane Griffith (same Shane Griffith that lost to both KOT and DC by 1 point in back-to-back NCAA tournaments) 2-0 and was never in danger of getting scored on. He also beat Mekhi Lewis (National Champ; 2x finalist) by 4-0 and nearly by tech (again, never in danger of getting scored on in either match). To think KOT would come up a weight class and beat him would be naive. I'm not say it would be domination. But Starocci is the clear pick there.
Him going 4-5 and having losses to: Murphy Menke (Oregon State), Chittum, Ed Scott (15-3 score), Askey, and Jonathan Ley (Navy; 12-2 score) is not an opinion. You can do with that information what you will.
He went 4-5 this season and had losses to: Murphy Menke (Oregon State), Chittum, Ed Scott (15-3 score), Askey, and Jonathan Ley (Navy; 12-2 score). Not sure I'd consider this as "shoring up a hole".
