He's likely to win a world gold medal this summer. Daton isn't overrated by any means.
But, he's right, he's going to have to figure out how to beat RBY to win a national title and he's going to have to figure out how to beat Thomas Gilman to make an Olympic team. Both guys are about as boring as it gets and rely on length and strength to keep people off their legs.
If Daton keeps the single leg and doesn't try to go to a double in the NCAA finals, he probably finishes that takedown against RBY. Instead that moment of separation allowed RBY to get enough leverage to go behind and that was the match.
He didn't "shit down his leg." He actually wrestled much better this year than he did in the previous two finals... just couldn't get it done. It happens. He'll get another crack next year. I love the "I want to beat him, I'm glad he's back" attitude.
