This is the problem with top programs.
Right now you’ve got a least 1 weight with a logjam where both guys look more deserving of being on the mat than the guy starting at a different weight.

We’ve been seeing guys get chance after chance for years. In a competitive situation like this - which everyone wants and has signed up for - you have to perform to keep your spot.

I don't disagree at all. If the coaches made the move this early I get it.

I'm just not 100% sold we have to get Witcraft in the lineup yet. I would like to see him wrestle some real competition. He has looked good but he should against the two guys he has faced so far. Young, while he hasn't looked great, has had a much tougher schedule. Vasquez and Willochell are two guys who will should be at NCAAs. They aren't pushovers.

I'm not against benching Young. The coaches see these guys in practice every day. I trust them to make the right call. All I am saying is we are still dealing with an extremely small sample size.

On top of that, I know Hughes has had his issues with making 133 but he doesn't not like massive for the weight to me.

It "would" make sense for him to leave PA, if he honestly thinks its the best place for him to train and win folk/free medals.

That's where Iowa is missing - the no real RTC. But okstate and PSU do. I do think it will take a lot for Bo to not go to PSU, but him leaving PA is a real possibility. He LOVES Tom Ryan as well.

Honestly, I don't think he quite knows what he's going to choose. I know several things:

-It was a good visit that gave him more information to digest.
-Dee is on it and has a future in the sport just for his recruiting ability alone.
-He feels it is a place that is on the rise.
-PSU is at the mountain top.
-OSU is quite a significant distance from home.

You missed the leg ride?

I guess I just forgot seeing it (I turn 68 tomorrow) and I shouldn't have mentioned it at all. Comparing these guys, negatively, to their "legendary" fathers is not right and I regret it. I should have just said that when he tried the first high-crotch on Friday I got a little chill of excitement and when he hit the one for a take-down Sunday (if I remember correctly), I was more than pleased. It was the same when Wyatt would throw in the leg.

If you weren't around to see father Mike wrestle, you are very unfortunate. John Smith, Sheets and Monday were all works of art.

Young hasn't looked great. I think it is a conversation worth having. That being said ... its four duals. Seems a tad to early to pull the plug on Young.

We will learn a lot at CKLV.
