33-5 shows that drop outs never mattered.
I think some of that was Ohio St ducking tough matches trying to protect the seeds of their wrestlers for tournament time. Some was health but we rolled out Davis in spite of his recent health issue in a match that he was likely to get handled.
Welsh didn’t look good at all. Don’t know if was health, bad match is style, or poor attitude.
And Rocco was somehow named outstanding wrestler? Several other guys were more deserving. But glad he wrestled the last minute and a half.
It was a helluva comeback.
I said the same thing. How was he outstanding wrestler? I'm pretty sure Cael will have a discussion with him about how whatever that was isn't going to win him a championship. Glad that he pulled off the comeback but if he wrestles like that at tourny time, he isn't going to win it all.
Shane, the announcer, said the only guy to graduate will be Van Ness. But later another wrestler was shown as a senior….can’t remember which.
Good point although isn't Fishback an NC St transfer. Even still, the staff knows him and his weaknesses.
And they have a world champion in Ono in a redshirt. Nate Desmond has been crazy impressive in a few appearances during a redshirt year as well. Then you have Kasak as well who has finished 3rd nationally twice but is behind Duke. Tons of depth and who knows who else they could potentially add that forces their way in next year. But man, just so dominant this year, I'm going to hold off projecting for next year and enjoy this season.
A 2nd team of Lions would probably be in the top ten teams.
Van Ness is a Junior. The only starting Senior is Levi Haines - #1 ranked, 17-0 at 174 lb. Next year's team will be another great one.
I musta misunderstood the announcer. He said only one was graduating while Van Ness was wrestling and I thought that was who he was talking about
