Rby cannot be beat without suriano or Rivera in the bracket.
His defense is so strong and it always seems like he can score whenever he wants to
Fix vs Vito is a match to look forward to where the winner gets 2nd place
Being the 1 seed means he should feel good by the time he has the ranked guys. NCAAs will be a little more dangerous, see how the Big 10s play out. McKee, Ramos, Barnett would be dangerous 7 seeds. Cardinale outside the Big 10. Volk round of 16 (although he will have more of a recovery then)
Miller is the only one who had a close match with him on that EIWA list, right? A match where he dominated, gased and was hit with 3 stall warnings. His next match against Lehigh he looked strong until the end.
Seton Hall, Syracuse, notre dame, Clemson, ucla, temple, Boise st, LSU, Oregon, Auburn. Some of those teams had champions.
Who has brought a team back beside Bucknell and Fresno St?
You usually don't need another point if u turn the guy. Taylor is on the short list of guys who turned almost everyone. 4 backpoints is a lot to overcome by cutting someone and taking them down (like micic vs gross in the finals)
No need to change the rules for that imo but maybe instead hit top guys for stalling or dont hit bottom guys for stalling when they are trying get out. Remember how many times desanto was hit for stalling on bottom in his blood round loss?
Obviously he would need to put him on his back to do that (probably needs to put him on his back to win, period). Glory said he's been working to counter Lee's top game for years, so I think he will be ready.
Aragona not wrestling at all, right?
they had some bad luck too - like Glasgow instead of Lewis, similar value out of HS. Glory wanted an Ivy league school. I assume Griffith wanted a school of that caliber as well.
Dean Peterson was #1? Ahead of say, Figueroa?
Also Peterson was Princeton originally and I won't go into details, but I heard the team didn't want him and that caused him to flip.
He looked good. Cuts less and is smaller than Glory so that probably matters less in his case.
Glory obviously got his weight under control to wrestle in a dual and control a returning AA.
Did you see that Glory said he's been training for years for Lee's top game? If he gets right out on bottom it comes down to takedowns. Plus he has ridden Lee before. Lee's top game stopped working with Rivera and he lost to him the last 2 times they wrestled as a result.
Glory dominated and only 1 hour after making weight. A finals match with spencer lee will be way more recovery time. I could see Glory majoring him, with Lee getting frustrated and trying big moves only to get countered.
