I think you're looking at it wrong, or at least differently than the PSU staff. There is no question that Rasheed has a higher tourney ceiling, point wise, than Morelli. However, I suspect Morelli got the nod because the staff figured his floor was a little better than Rasheed's, even if only by a couple points.

His floor is undoubtedly 0 points. There's a great chance he goes 0-2 at nationals
Don't agree. I think people have been consistently over-optimistic and drastically over-rated SR's chances of pinning his way through a ranked field at nationals, while at the same time being overly pessimistic regarding GM's ability to beat anyone in that same field, based on actual mat performances this year. SR has not only lost to unranked wrestlers, but he's lost to GM.
Morelli has the physical tools. Just a big, strong kid, doesn't get tired. Has what it takes to be a hammer. Reminds me of most of the Minnesota kids -- not a top end talent; but physical enough, and mentally tough enough to will victories.
