You can pick if Im talking football or wrestling
NoIs Peyton Mocco, the elder mocco's son?
That's true, the guy he beat did qualify for NCAAs last year, though in the last couple years he has no top33 (per wrestlestat rankings) wins. Gutty win in OTLet’s not write Facundo off yet. He gutted out a clutch win against an experienced Junior. Let’s see what he does with the 5 seed, Bullard.
I've said this about BB and I wonder if it’s true with Facundo:
Are some of our younger guys just a bit hesitant to take a shot because they get destroyed (by, oh, Zain, Nick or Carter) if they don’t convert?
Boy, I sure hope not. When I started wrestling, I quickly figured out the solution was to get a lot better with my neutral offense, not to stop shooting.I've said this about BB and I wonder if it’s true with Facundo:

Interesting thought. You could also see trying to convert on Zain, Nick and Carter making it easier against the Barczaks of the world.I've said this about BB and I wonder if it’s true with Facundo:

This shouldn't be a big surprise IMO. The "book" on Facundo in high school was elite defense but limited offense against better competition,Alex has to figure it out. Can't just shoot in and get stuffed.
1-1 Alex escape
Honestly, not a great showing from Alex in regulation.
OT
Bad offense, but great defense. Sloppy, tired shots.
Facundo's countering won him that match with a TD in OT.
I doubt that is a factor. But some guys seem to be waiting for the perfect setup, which is rarely there.-Boy, I sure hope not. When I started wrestling, I quickly figured out the solution was to get a lot better with my neutral offense, not to stop shooting.
Not much to say a few shot in overtime , the winning shot was head on the outside single put the Drexel kid on his but and covered the hipsFor those who saw it…please describe Facundo’s takedown.
Was stuffed, on one knee, other guy had head control, let facundo up, and alex instantly shot and got the TD. Smart wrestling.For those who saw it…please describe Facundo’s takedown.
That can be caused from wrestling much better partners daily. (Zain, Nolf, Carter ex..). If your setup isn’t perfect against them, you have no chance at even getting to the legs, let alone finishing.I doubt that is a factor. But some guys seem to be waiting for the perfect setup, which is rarely there.-
Carter spent an entire first year in that room never being allowed a takedown.I've said this about BB and I wonder if it’s true with Facundo:

We aren’t scoring points at this weight at NCAAs. I’m not sure why people think it’s even a remote chance. Facundo can be an elite kid this year but as a true freshman wrestling against 6/7 year guys the redshirt, these tournaments and in the room will get him there for a great run. Let’s be clear, we all say Cael is a great recruiter but even better coach. Guys like Facundo need time and work. The answer here was Wick and it didn’t work, likely not because of Cael.That's true, the guy he beat did qualify for NCAAs last year, though in the last couple years he has no top33 (per wrestlestat rankings) wins. Gutty win in OT
Seemed like up to that point, most (all?) of Alex’s shots were from space. A lot of hand fighting and tie ups that didn’t progress to more offensive action. There were shots from way out.Was stuffed, on one knee, other guy had head control, let facundo up, and alex instantly shot and got the TD. Smart wrestling.
Much bigger than his opponent , looks a good 40lbs biggerSeth up now. Looks absolutely massive.
Ship one of them to Stillwater for 2 months, 157 issue solved.We have TWO 197s that could beat Jacob Warner.
He weighed in at 283.6, only two others weighed in close to himHe might be cutting to make 285.
Be reasonable, 165 issue resolved. 😂Ship one of them to Stillwater for 2 months, 157 issue solved.
