Yes, but McCrone has had two NCAAs to get it done and has failed to put together a solid performance. Kilkeary was a blue chipper. At some point the staff has to give him a chance I'd think. And I'm a McCrone fan wholeheartedly. Love his style and back story.
Oh I agree with you 100%. That's what meant by a matchup thing. No way Stanich ever beats Mendez. But if Mendez took a loss to Hardy/Composto, and then Stanich had Hardy/Composto in the finals he could win it.
I tend to agree. But FWIW, Merrill did lose to Buchanan on 2-0 and did beat Isaiah Salazar. I try to not judge guys based on close losses, but it's eye opening to me.
Hard to imagine someone willingly wanted to give up a Harvard degree. Unless he'd be a grad student, which he could be. I am completely unaware of he is eligibility wise.
You didn't listen to the Basch interview did you? Gilman seemed very at peace with the not only the loss to Spencer but his career as a whole. To say Spencer 'took his soul' would be a huge over exaggeration in my opinion.
Where did I say significant?
But yes, I think cutting weight, when don't the right way, is a good part of our sport. And my opinion won't change on that. And I know majority of college coaches feel similarly.
