I agree. Crookham beat #1 and #4 and then given the top ranking, doesn't make any sense. But we'll see how he does at Nattys.I don't get all the Crookham hype. He had a one really good tournament. Since then he has has beat #8 Nagao and #12 Colaiocco. Daton's resume this season is stronger. FLO has him ranked as the overall #16 P4P wrestler. Is that single win over Vito really worth that ranking? Personally I didn't think he looked all that great when he wrestled Witcraft at the Lehigh dual. He is really good at countering and re-attacks that's how he beat Vito, but doesn't do anything that makes you jump out of your seat and think he is a bona fide national champ. Maybe I'm wrong idk, hoping to see Fix run through him.
Its frustrating for fans of his because we obviously know how talented he is and impressive he can perform. But, I am not about to start second guessing him or the guys in his corner when it comes to him...they have more takedowns and medals combined than most towns in this country.I agree.

Fix seems so worried about getting taken down sometimes, which is a head scratcher because he is so strong in scramble situations. I'd say he needs to open up his offense but maybe his success in scrambles is because he doesn't put himself in risky situations. Dunno. Pulling for him of course.
He's looked that way a lot of this season like a has a nagging injury.Just watched Vito's first match in EIWA vs. a kid from Brown. Vito looks like he might be dealing with a injury. He definitely didn't look like how he did this time last year in March. He was standing upright not moving his feet much and changing levels. Took one committed shot in the first and after that was mostly pump fakes. He won 8-2 with a riding point. Maybe he is sick or something, but Crookham looked primed.
Vito is hurt bad four herniated discs in his neckBoth had unimpressive 4-2 wins in the quarters.
He’s got a torn ACL#9 national ranked 141 Cornell kid just got double legged in SV for a loss. Immediately went down like he got hurt too. Love upsets in post season as long as it’s not us lol. Obviously hope the kid is ok too.
Injury bug strikes again. Hit us hard the past few yearsHe’s got a torn ACL
Hate that for him. He’s fun to watch and I suspect if he ran into Fix at NCAA’s we would see the best version of Daton too. This is Fix’s revenge tour I wholeheartedly believe.Vito is hurt bad four herniated discs in his neck
can't see that - who would you put at 3? Only argument would be Daton 1, but I think crook man gets that. Vito is not the same wrestler as last year, but long and poses a tough match up for Daton, but better than last year I believe.It’s possible Vito gets the 4 seed
I would think Ragusin has a good shot at the 3 seed if he wins big tens.can't see that - who would you put at 3? Only argument would be Daton 1, but I think crook man gets that.

I suppose we will see - I would be surprised if they put him ahead of Vito, but B1G has an advantage. I have not followed him closely so I don't know who he lost to? Vito has not wrestled a lot this year, but defending champ and world medalist with only losses to Crookman. But I have not watched Crookman either and just know he has beaten Vito twice.I would think Ragusin has a good shot at the 3 seed if he wins big tens.
Because he beat Vito twice.I honestly don't know why Crookham would be a #1 seed over Daton to begin with but I'm not sure of all the seeding criteria.
Daton is undefeated too and with obviously a much stronger history. Just because he beat Fix he goes from basically unranked to #1? Fix should have been #1 after Vito lost the first time IMOBecause he beat Vito twice.
It could come down to Fix and Crookman for 1 seed. Hopefully he has a dominant performance tonight to state his case.crookham plowed thru this version of vito
where the heck did crookham come from?
Exactly. The way Vito has been wrestling he might not even make the semisWatch. They’ll give Fix the 1 seed… and Vito the 4/5.
I don’t think it matters though. Fix will beat Vito in the semis if Vito even gets there.
Vito has only lost the two matches to Crookman? Even though not looking like he did last year, it would be a surprise for him to not make semis.Exactly. The way Vito has been wrestling he might not even make the semis
Plowed through? That was a highly competitive match that Vito could easily have won with 2 or 3 near takedowns that went out of bounds. Good offense by both.
