Scouting Report on Perry?

[nerfstate]

He's had an incredible tourney so far--beating Sorenson and Tshirt. I like to follow regional schools, but I can't say I know much about him. What does he do well, what does he not do well?

I get that we're all thinking the Zain Train rolls here, but I'm curious what you all know.

 

[TangSoo]

Don't know much. Seems like a good kid. For his sake, I'm hoping he's flexible.

33-3 on the year. 2 of his 3 losses were pins. No wins against top guys until his impressive tourney run.

Thank you wrestlestat

Unlike Heilmann, enough losses by fall in his career to make me happy.

He seems to have been flying under the radar until this year's NCAAs. Below is his wrestle stat profile. He has successive wins (albeit close ones) over Sorensen, Tsirtsis and Kolozdzik in this tournament, so obviously he is on a roll and is no slouch. No other wins of note this year or previous years, however, so ... something in the water?

After tonight, he'll be very good at counting lights.

 

[dmm53]

He's the lone outlier in this year's finals. A Cinderella story so far. Hoping he is about to lose his slipper.

What do those 3 victims have in common? Defense first.

Zain attacks.

 

[tikk10]

Here he is giving up two to non-qualifier Jacob Macalolooy of Columbia. Incredible run.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Definitely an impressive run when you beat the 3rd, 5th and 7th place finishers.

Don't know much. Seems like a good kid. For his sake, I'm hoping he's flexible.

He may have PTSD flashbacks if someone ever mentions bow and arrow...

Go to the BWI previews final thread. Zain talks about Lock Haven's team training freestyle with them in the PSU room this year and said he wrestled Perry in practice a few times.

SIAP. Found a "getting to know Ronnie Perry" article on themat.com from last year with this intro:

As a junior, Perry won his first EWL title and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the second time in his career. His 29-8 record included 15 tech-falls and 20 bonus point victories overall. After losing to a pair of seeded wrestlers at the NCAA tournament, including second seed Kevin Jack (NC State), Perry will return for his senior season looking to earn a seed himself and end his career on the podium.
