Not JVB's best tourney. Get him on a weight gain plan to 165 and have him work with Perrotti all summer.
March MatNess is ON ! NCAA Wrestling Tourney Thread :
- Thread starter Abro1975
- Start date
PRoblem is Theo is the strongest wrestler on the team pound for pound. More disappointed that he has the experience of being a senior and lost to a freshman. I am watching UM and they have 3 freshman in the qtrs and will just get better and better. I am very proud of where we came from and where we are but we really need to get those HS studs that will be in the Qtrs early in their careers like Ash.
Was hoping he beat Heil tonight (the best based on ranking) and seal the deal against Jack, so a little disappointed. But if Ash wins it all, it really doesn't matter!!! Two more!!!!!!
Ashnault win over Kolodzik story :

With a shoulder injury its tough to attack the legs. If you get sprawled on that shoulder its a lot of pressure and likely to dislocate that shoulder again. I think the upperbody strategy is intentional due to past injuries on Gravinas part. It sucks, but hopefully he gets the shoulder right for next year.
Gravina wrestled his heart out there. The guy has got balls and never lets up. Awesome job against a very tough opponent. Both he and Ash show how important riding guys out is.
I missed that point as well. Was texting w my wife who is at Morristown Hospital as her mom had surgery today. I told her I'll come pick her up AFTER morning session, lol. Leaving soon, be back for Happy Hour then Session 4 !
My prayers go out to your family. Hope everything went well with the surgery. You do know your probably never going to hear the end of it for that move.[laughing]
