Soldano giving up bonus points probably seals it for OSU unless Yara pulls the upset.
Slopfest from Soldano. Ohio State passes us by 1.5 points. We can not catch them unless Yara can somehow secure bonus points. Looks like a 6th place finish. Good tournament.
Well, that's that. 6th place it is. Better than I expected and finally out from lower middle tier. Our best showing since 2016.

Its literally amazing how other teams can literally run around the Mat and not get a stall call and we get hit instantly.
It is absolutely remarkable how when guys we are wrestling stall, it can often take three periods before they even call a warning let alone two stall calls resulting in a point in a 30-second wondow when its on us (happened several times this tournament to us).. It's just crazy.
Must give credit when credit is do. The team had a really good weekend,
Shawver was outstanding. He will probably be seeded between 4th and 6th depending on Orine and Bailey's tournament results. With his convincing win today, he deserves the 4th seed behind Vito, Crookham, and Fix. Crookham and Fix are undefeated and Vito's only losses are to Crookham. Ironically, Sawyer's best chance may be against Vito who is nursing an injury that has limited his offensive attacks.

Really impressed with how Shawver just kept being aggressive and initiating the action against Ragusin. There was only one sequence where Ragusin got a reversal where I had some concern about being too aggressive. He just kept firing and had gas in the tank for a full 7 minutes. Congratulations to Dylan.
I thought the exact same thing and was wondering why he kept shooting rapid fire at the end of the match. At that point I realized I must have missed something.
I thought it was long enough for a two count at least. Video review proved otherwise I guess.
The deck was stacked against Slava. He struggles with Davidson's size, length and strength. Against the better wrestlers, he doesnt really try much for takedowns. Even when he is behind, like tonight. His reversal got me on the edge of my seat a little..but just a little.
Shawver nearly beat Latona and Shawver is significantly better than he was three months ago.
Shawver wrestled great against Ragusin, wrestling well in general. But, went to overtime against MD kid who he beat more soundly earlier in the year. I’m talking about potential seeds and style matchup vs Orine. Orine is a more dynamic version of Cole Matthews. Will have to be very tactical to beat him.
I think Shawver matches up well with everyone except Vito who I think is just a better version. Not sure about Crookham. I’d like his chances against Fix who is strong as an ox but offensively dull as hell. As always this tournament is all about the draw so hopefully Shawver can get a favorable bracket and make an AA push.
I didn’t even realize until now but in terms of eligibility Shawver is only a sophomore. Still 2 years of eligibility left after this one, and he has a redshirt option if he ever wanted to use it.
Possible portal target for 174 for us from Columbia? Lennox Wolak won EIWA Champ for Columbia at 174. If he has any eligibility, we can replace Turley with him and not miss a beat.

I'm not sure but I think Jackson still has a year if he wants it. Between redshirts, injury years and a Covid year it's hard to tell how many seasons the guys have left.
Yes he does(medical for 2022), but he participated in Senior night, and I think he has stated that this is his last year....of course, could change mind and come back.
That could work since Soldano is a bit undersized at 184. Then move Poz back to 184 and maybe find a portal add at 197.
This is probably the last year with Covid eligibility for anyone but if Turley has one more year left we are good. I forgot he had the medical RS.

Ayzerov is a Jersey kid too. Owned Foca this year and beat him 3 times.
With Jackson's injuries, I would be surprised if he comes back.
Would love to see him one more year.
I believe he wasted his first year trying to make 165 (or that was someone else...i am getting old)
I like Poz at 197 even thou he is undersized lengthwise.
I am not sure Poz could make 184 again.
Has Soldano ever cut weight to make us think he could go 174?
All good questions for the off season.

Soldano I believe has a RS available as well. Maybe add Ayzerov at 184 and have Soldano RS next year.
