Bluestater, welcome back from your hiatus. That being said I was just saying that at tournaments where he usually has to make weight on two consecutive days and/or wrestle multiple matches, he seems to lose his dominance although I guess that can be said for most.

Secondly, where he has had a chance to be featured (last year at All-Star Classic) with some time off, he has looked tremendous.

Welcome back. Tigers are looking tough early other than Dolan at 125. The big question is "where is Primus"?

I think blue's point is that having a problem at tourneys is a big problem because the NCAA championship is a tourney. So, no matter how good he is throughout the dual season, etc., it won't matter come championship time.

Thanks! I'm hoping I can spend a little more time here now that my semester is coming to a close and I won't be spending so much time reading for class. Plus, it's wrestling season. Huzzah!!!

I think 133 is going to be an absolute dogfight this year. Slaton, Ness, King Lou, Fanthorpe, my non-Tiger favorite Jimmy, er, James Kennedy. It's going to be fun.

And I really wish my Tigers could find a solution for 125. It's always an issue. And Primus, well, I have no idea.

Yes, I got that from her as well. I just also brought it up as the Lindenwood wrestler would not necessarily be considered a legitimate AA threat in D1 either so it makes it even more conspicuous that he is dropping some of these tournament matches early in the season.

Reiter looked the same way last year until about the mid point of the season.

Rug is a stud who is probably only going to get competition from DC and Jayson Ness for total falls this year, I think he'll figure things out.

anyone that can beat King Lou is a good wrestler. not sure that three state titles out of south florida, njcaa and an NAIA title automatically makes him a candidate to AA in Division 1. that's all i am saying and I am pretty familiar with the wrestling in Florida.

Ray beat#2 d3 nick nothern this year also. Not d1 but notable for sure.
