There are so many good things to talk about with this team, one item is still flying under the radar a bit, the freshmen. They each seem to get better every week. All three were potential if not probable redshirts to start the year. These are amazing times with talent busting at the seams.
Davis at 125 - the weight is a hot mess. The top 15+ seem to be near the same level and he surely is cementing himself in that conversation. Nit the hot mess part
My prediction = AA
Kasak 149 - he is upping his game everytime out, with every ranked kid in his path he is more creative and more confident. We have a good one here. My prediction = AA
Mesenbrink 165 - He is just plain scary. When is he going to see his real first challenge? Great attutude, incredible motor, tenatious and aggressive. He lets it fly. Who does he start to remind you of? I don't care who you are, no one is going to want to face this kid in the tourney. My prediction = High AA.
Honorable mention = Although Barr is not a starter, but did you hear what Carter said about him today? "He going to be a national champion, multi-time national champion". The last time I heard that kind of talk from one of our kids, was Mark Hall talking about Carter.
It's still early and the meat of the big 10 dual season is around the corner. There will be some loses in there, but with that comes growth. I love what I am seeing from our under-ranked and unranked three horses. Death and destruction lies ahead to many that will face them. All three are exceeding our pre-season expectations. Enjoy!!!
