I have said it a few times now in a few different threads, but I think he is a smaller version of Taylor Massa or (new addition from me) Justin Zeerip. Two phenomenal recruits that wrestled high school with a physical size, strength, and power advantage over every wrestler they ever met. When the skill gaps are so large, it looks almost as if they aren't interested in being there.
When they got to college they immediately found out that most of the guys they were wrestling were able to go toe to toe and even best them in the physical department and their skill was higher, so they struggled.
Chittum struggled against 149lbers with the limited sample he had. He will struggle even more so with 157lbers.
Now, I am a big fan of Zeerip and Massa, I don't want this to be mistaken for ridicule. They are inspirational stores and both are succeeding at life. Zeerip and his brother Collin are Co-Head Coaches at Whitehall, MI (Ira Jenkins of Michigan is from there).
