"We're all brothers, we're going to make each other better, and whoever ends up on top, hopefully they'll win it," Rasheed said. "But I'm not really focused on that; I'm focused on a national title. I don't want to worry about getting the spot. Whatever happens happens."

Having to battle for the starting spot is nothing new for Rasheed, though. After initially getting the start at 165 his freshman year, weight issues and injury held him back. But now that those issues are behind him, the junior has a new perspective.

"Now that I'm healthy, I just want to live it up. I don't even get nervous that much before matches anymore," he said. "I'm just like, 'This is about to be awesome.'

"I'm getting out there and I'm going to put on a show."

I was incredibly impressed in his interview when he said that. I was watching and said to myself - "either Cael is a magician or this kid is really special". Then I thought, why can't it be both. What a great attitude to be so selfless and caring about his teammates. Calling them brothers. Impressive indeed. If the whole team atmosphere is that way at PSU, Cael is more amazing than I thought.
