Southern Scuffle 2019

As I watch Shapiro wrestle I’m wondering if wouldnt be better served up a weight long term. I’m thinking of foot work, foot speed etc. His style and atheleticism may translate better at ‘97.

I’ve not seen him wrestle many matches. Any thoughts on Joel?
Just think Colbray looks pretty good at 184
 
He is improving no doubt. When he is active like he was against the Rider kid he looks like a completely different wrestler.

I was asking about Shapiro more long term. I wouldn’t think he could beat Sammy at 184 next year anyway. Shapiro just seems to have some length and size to add good weight. He doesn’t appear
To be extremely quick so I thought he may grow into the higher weight Class.

I think Shapiro has to bulk up to 197. He is our best option.

Any chance Duggan can get down to 197? He looks small wrestling Derek White, who I thought was around 255. And I don't think he over takes Gremmel for the next couple years.
 
That’s not a bad idea either. He must be about 235-240 now I would think. It would be a big cut. If he stays at HWT ideally he’d have to add another 15-20 pounds.

Duggan has potential, but needs to add some muscle for 285. Not sure 197 is even a possibility for him.

Gremmel is stepping up at 285 and same with Colbray at 184, so that means somebody needs to push for the 197 spot for the following 2 years
 
Remembering Shapiro up through all AAU he was a lighter kid and great technique. Surprising to hear his footwork is off. I haven’t seen him wrestle this year.

Concussion?

I would GUESS it is a precaution because of the previous match.

Isn't the concussion test the only reason you can leave the mat and get it checked? And he wouldn't have been able to finish the match if he failed the test, correct?

The PSU kid he wrestled is no slouch so it could just be how he stacked up. Like I said I’ve only seen him wrestle a few matches so I didn’t know really what to expect. The 184 class is pretty darn athletic.

I thought he tried moving up in HS his senior year too.
