But why wouldnt they just wrestle at their natural weight class at 174? Is Jimmy holding a gun to their heads? Also, Jimmy hasn't answered why Ben in his prime has to suck down to a weight class he never wrestled at in college
I know a kid from The Shire, Pennsylvania. He won PIAA that year with a wizard in the finals. What was most fascinating is how he neutralized his opponent in the 1st period with an Elf's Bow & Arrow.
He's the real deal. His biggest problem is that so are a lot of other guys at 165. We'll know a lot in his next 3 matches. He gets Caleb Fish next who he lost to last year, then PK, followed by Kharchla.
I think he'll have a solid career but for this year it's hard for me to picture Facundo finishing in the top 6. So many land mines at 165
For top 4 there are the obvious wrestlers plus I believe Bartlett and Haines have a legitimate shot. Not quite ready to put SVN in that group
I think he also had UM winning the dual last year and picked either the Wolverines or the Hawkeyes to win NCAA's. His gimmick is getting beyond tired and boring.
