OK STATE VS. ARIZONA STATE

That is something the coaches could look at after Vagas and the holidays. I don't like how Young is looking, and Jamison is wrestling solid but not great. However, Hughes is looking good at 133 so far.
Really like how Spratley wrestled he seemed very quick and got the pin against a guy who tried hard but I don't think he is very good. Hughes was dominant with a tech against an opponent who is questionable. Jamison wrestled solid and won a decision. Young had a bad weekend and today lost to a good opponent. Young not finishing takedowns was a problem. Good for Sheets being dominant but against an opponent who did not look good. Amine's lack of offense really cost him against a solid opponent. He got to his opponent's legs twice getting the leg up in the air once but got no takedowns. Losing the takedown in overtime almost seemed like a relief to get out of this match. I have seen matches where is desire seemed questionable, and this was one of those matches. Hamiti won easy with a major but did not seem to be at his best. Plott won by major grinding his opponent when on top but could have gotten more takedowns although he did have a real nice double leg in the 3rd period. Surber won by major and wrestled strong. Hendrickson dominated Schultz and should have gotten a major but gave up a takedown because Schultz rolled through a great shot by Hendrickson. I was surprised by how easy Hendrickson's match was for him with his speed, strength and explosiveness. Most wrestled good and a few didn't.
 
Just talked to a guy that was there and knows a little bit.

With the recruits in, a multiple weigh-in tourney and just the jump in outside activity…there was a ton of working out and limit pushing. An early season March if you will?

Our guys were tasked(not spent) in all phases. Considering that, they weren’t peak.

You definitely have to train thru at times it's about peaking for March . Typically teams pick another event in the year to peak for. Imagine Cliff Keen is the focus currently

Multi weigh-in tourney close, this was simulation to that in a way.

You said what I was thinking.
 
To get the best line-up, considering the contested weights:

133: Witcraft or Hughes
141: Hughes or Jamison
149: Jamison or Travis
157: Travis or Sheets
 
Some good problems to have.

but the best lineup is:

Witcraft
Hughes
Jamison

Everyone loves Young and he's such a hard worker. But a jamison with more energy, Cael at the weight he wants and a Witcraft that looks like a dog... whoo buddy.
 
He does. If he can cut to 149, seems like an option as well.
He wrestled 149 at MSU open, he weighed in 149 for Utah V and OR State and came out center mat with Young this is why he looks small for 157.
 
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.
 
Did anyone notice that most our Oklahoma boys looked great out there?

Eufaula (pop 2,766) with a pin
Stillwater (pop 48,394) with a tech
Stilwell (pop 3,700) just one TD from a tech
Tuttle (pop 7,413) just one TD from a tech
Again, Tuttle (pop 7,413) just one TD from a tech

Don’t get me wrong, I love them “Yankees” and will take all we can get but, great job out there guys!
