I thought he would get fat and unathletic. Instead, he put on good weight and seems to be wrestling better than ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO more often than not guys do better after moving from 197 to HWT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jross Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Did anyone besides Nic Bouzakis wrestle eight matches? What is the highest number of college matches wrestled by a single athlete in 24 hours? I am aware of ten matches in 24 hours for a high schooler this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but there were 33 wrestlers I believe at 133. Bouzakis looked lost his first match. Then he was found. I believe he saw the light... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would get fat and slow and would get crunched underneath when shooting. Instead, I think he might be my favorite heavyweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cut isn't the problem. It's tactics. He has to stay fundamental. He's a talent. But he has a ways to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be one of these fast twitch guys that are incredibly dense. WIth mendez looking better and better I wouldn't be surprised. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

I see Bouzakis figuring it out quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he had straight A's all through high school and mostly through college as well. I don't think his major was Kinesiology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure but I think he was ready to wrestle an unseeded guy and possibly already looking past him to the next match . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't disagree. He was an anomaly in that first match. I didn't know who that wrestler was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, one would believe they go with Tanifeu? Howarth is nowhere near ready. Also sounds like 184 is Bullocks spot going forward based off the MichDaily article.
