I think he wants that rematch with Ruggirello now. Anyone else think that this match wouldn't be different now?

Looks like he is starting to feel it now as he had a pretty solid tournament. His only two real quality wins came at the end against Baker and Grey but something pretty solid to say he won a tournament that Ruggirello finished fifth in.

He still has the same problems he's had all along... he lets guys in on his legs too easy and he struggles graetly on the bottom. If you watched his match with grey you know what Im talking about. Reiter is talented and should make the podium again this year but he has too many flaws to put together a championship run imo.

That being said, I'm rooting for him all the way

goferphan

you are right...everyone gets in on him as he really leads alot with his front leg when he is circling and tying up...

if he can put together three good days at ncaa's, who knows...i am not that impressed with the top guys at 133...

He looked pretty good this weekend. Grey is a tough kid, and is definitely underrated in my opinion.

Mack did a nice job against him, and against the other guys he wrestled.

While Grey did ride him for a little while, it wasn't like the match he had with Rugg at the All Star where he spent most of the time on his belly, he was constantly coming up to his feet, and he did a nice job of getting out and away eventually.

The thing thats most encouraging to me about his efforts recently is that he's starting to ride good guys again. Top has always been his best position, and you know he's cooking when he starts riding guys out.

I think scott beats reiter pretty easily

Scott and Ruggirello are going to be tough match ups for Reiter because they're good on top and so long, but both have shown that they can be beaten.

Mack just needs to win the battle on the feet like he did when he finally got his win in the consi semi's at NCAA's over Morgan two years ago.

The difference between scott and lou is that scott is also great on his feet and I think he's going to be able to take mack down more then once.

JensenS

Scott has shown the tendency to have trouble scoring big on guys that stay on him the whole time, he's taken some losses that way when guys don't let him operate out in space so he can shoot his big double.

Hence why I hope Mack sees him before the big show, an example, he took two or three tough losses to Nathan Morgan two years ago, Morgan got the TD's and also rode Mack in the matches.

Come the match that really counted, Mack had him figured out, took him down three times, and managed to get away pretty quickly.

I think the main point is Reiter is staring to look more like his old self and I'm willing to admit I would happily take another fourth at the Nationals out of him. If he does better great but his points will be big this year. With the right draw I can easily see him in the Finals.
