Lex, great article. Do you think he is an NCAA qualifier next year? Blood round guy? AA candidate?

I view him as a likely NCAA qualifier with a decent chance at being a blood round guy.

Well, he does seem destined for at least top 20 so already I'm thankful. He will be an interesting one for sure.

Believe me my season ticket group is super excited for this one. I was at work getting texts from 8 different guys. I told them you've got to stop so I can get some work done and get on the wrestling board. So my buddy Bill can tell me how wrong I was to worry after we didn't get Tate. :)
