Daton won 6 to 1. I think our coaches think if Daton gets better on top maybe he can beat RBY. I don't think Daton can ride RBY or turn him. Daton gets a decision against the 31st rated 133.Typical snooze fest.Either he is pulling too much weight or he has gotten worse.
I think part of it has to be weight related. He looked way better last week when they started the dual at 149.Typical snooze fest.Either he is pulling too much weight or he has gotten worse.
Young is behind 2 to 0 and been ridden over 2 minutes. In second period Young got sucked back and pinned. We are sad. Young had a brace on.Daton won 6 to 1.

G was rode for 1 minute 40 but got a reversal and leads 2 to 0 but his opponent has riding time. Smith challenged back points, announcers think he did that because G seemed tired. G gives up the escape fairly quick but G gets the takedown and wins 4 to 1. G's opponent was rated 27th.Voinovich got 3 takedowns and won a solid decision over an unranked wrestler.
Sheets walks into 2 takedowns in the 1st and is behind 4 to 1. Sheets is getting dominated 4 takedowns to 0. His opponent is rated 17th and seems quicker, stronger and better balance than Sheets. Coach Smith in the beginning of the season said lets enjoy our wrestlers develop this year. Many of our wrestlers rankings are dropping like rocks. I am really questioning the job that all of our coaches are doing with the bottom position coaching, top wrestling and neutral wrestling. Somehow coach Smith keeps saying we are getting better in interviews. He must be seeing something I don't see.G was rode for 1 minute 40 but got a reversal and leads 2 to 0 but his opponent has riding time.

Plott scrambles for the last takedown in the 3rd period over his ranked 32 opponent to win 5 to 2.

Doucette wins 1 to 0 at HWT. His opponent must be weak on bottom because he chose neutral.Surber dominating at 197 with the tech fall.
Yes I think it is just where we are overall with lack of developing talent and depth.No one jumping levels and others staying where they were as freshman or high school kids.How telling is it that we have no one in the room that is better than TM at 125, yet TM is getting beat or struggling with guys ranked lower than him. So are all our other 125's that bad? Same goes for 141 and 165.
After finishing out of the top 10 last year, I would hope changes will be required if we see a repeat.Can't Smith see that what he is doing is not working? Is he lost in the 80s?
I don’t think John was giving him a breather. Can’t imagine that ever being the case.G was rode for 1 minute 40 but got a reversal and leads 2 to 0 but his opponent has riding time.

Iowa has 3 studs. Lee, Woods(which they paid for) and Cassioppi. Warner is going the wrong way. Assad hasn’t developed, Murin hasn’t developed, etc. Penn State is where we need to look.Get some Iowa or Penn state assistant coaches. Need some new blood.
And Mizzou and Iowa StateWe are going to get crushed by Michigan and Iowa.

I think Witcraft was warming up and then went on the mat when they began interviewing Columbia's coach.It looked like on the ESPN coverage they were about to start some extra matches. Is there anywhere to find results of those matches? Or can anyone in the know, share?
Poor results are on the wrestlers themselves too. Unprecedented access to film and training regimens, there’s no excuse for “awww coach didn’t prepare me”. Coaches are easy to blame especially with our baked in nepotism (only OSU fam allowed on staff) but they are only part of the equation, they can’t wrestle the match. I don’t know the scholarship situation but if you have guys continually underperform maybe you cut them from scholly and use that $$ somewhere else.
Weights I would think they (okstate site) would just put in the weights they are listed. I don't know which site is right. Probably the Columbia site since the dual occurred there.Interesting, because the Columbia site shows Witcraft losing by pin and the Stika match being at 197. I wonder who is responsible for reporting/entering the official results.
