This is a fair point, though I would contend that, for who he was, how he was wrestling overall at that time, and his other big stage successes leading up to that point in his career, he had a slow start.
I still think it is about 9 months early to sound the alarm for sealey. He could be a bench guy, because obviously for every starter at penn state there are 2 or 3 other guys who are very good but they can't even make the starting lineup.
