I wish we wouldn't have started the year with Wartburg, Loras & Kearney. I fully understand the circumstances, but I believe it provided fool's gold.
Grades at this point.
Terukina (B) Obviously, he has exceeded expectations and his upside is higher than Mackal's
Redding (B-) Another who has exceeded expecations. He lost his last 2 matches because he's a freshman. I'm confident this won't happen in years to come. Needs to improve his offense.
Parker (A-) Loss against Hart sucked, but we know Ian will work his a$$ off. Big win vs Demas.
Robinson (A-) Exceeded expectations. Almost defeated a highly ranked wrestler from Mizzou. I think his injury will keep him out a little longer than first thought. He will be an animal in years to come.
Carr (A) Our best wrestler and is stronger. Solid in all positions.
Judge (C-) Good win yesterday.
Brodersen (B-) Looked solid yesterday against a proven wrestler. If he wrestles smart, he will be a tough out.
Batani(C-) I assume Colbray will be here in the end. I don't even know what to expect from Tate. He does OK, but won't win many D1 matches w/ his style.
Bastida (D+) Too much hype and got his tail kicked yesterday by a guy who he had beaten in Freestyle. I'm not giving up on him....I think we all see the potential. Even though he didn't score, he looked a little better on the bottom yesterday. Side note...Woodley's posse chanted U-S-A after the match. Really??!!
Gremmel( B-) Redshirt Sr vs a Redshirt Fr for the dual. He won, but expected more from Gannon. The OU wrestler was gassed and probably at least 25 lbs lighter. If GG's going to continue his extra off the mat pushing, he better back it up w/ some butt kicking.
GO CYCLONES!
