A little perspective on some of the young guns. I’m still a little perplexed as to why the young guys want to wrestle right away. All time greats like David Taylor, Ben Askren, etc...redshirted. For example, 4x finalist, 2x champ, 2x hodge winner Ben Askren lost 10 matches in the first six weeks of his redshirt year. I mean, I get wanting to be on stage but that’s what tournaments like Midlands are for. The redshirt just seems like an amazing opportunity to develop. Based on results from just this week, top recruits like Peyton Mocco, Reece Witcraft, Gavin Teasdale all lost. Additionally blue chip younger guys Sammy Sasso (he got pinned), Joey Melendez, Jakob Camacho lost as well. My point is two fold. One, even the best recruits need time to develop and will make mistakes which require patience/us fans to realize the sky isn’t falling. It doesn’t mean these guys aren’t going to be studs. Two, our guys are going to improve dramatically during the year and as long as our system is right and the athletes mindsets are good we have a lot to look forward to. Finally, maybe the desire to compete right away is a good thing. Maybe it indicates a hunger/self confidence/desire to work to be great that will ultimately pay dividends.
