We get to see Mark Hall vs. Zahid Valencia (round 4) early this season in December. The top recruit of 2015 vs. the top recruit of 2016. NCAA champ vs. NCAA champ. Lots on the line, including likely #1 seeding for the rest of the season. It should be a great measure of where both these guys stand. Who has upped their game even more? Will Mr. Hall be rested and ready to even the series? The match against ASU is at Wreck Hall ... further motivation, inspiration . . . and potential advantage? (Valencia wrestled against Dake at Penn State in the freestyle Final X this past summer.)
