Really hope Facundo wrestles well enough to force them to change their plans about that redshirt.
HL Mencken will be ready for Florida
Does he need to be ready for Florida? 🧐
I can assure you I am not down in the room working out right now
I told you guys he went AWOL. No one ever believes me!
I think we’ve been down this road before. I think what you have mentioned is a pretty high bar to pass right now and that there is a middle ground that could also show Facundo is progressing and capable of a higher ceiling at NCAAs than Edsell. I guess we’ll see.
Tbh, I fully expect Alex will be close to those guys score wise. His defense + ability to ride will allow him to. I don't think wrestling Griffith to a 3-2 loss will be that convincing if he isn't close to getting to Shane's legs even.
On the other hand, losing by one point to a defending national champion in December would certainly not be a bad showing and could hint at potential to score points for the team at NCAAs.
If you think about it, Matt Lee has the best win out of our 165s right now with that 8-5 win over Julian Ramirez at Binghamton.
A higher ceiling than Edsell isn't worth pulling his redshirt. The staff needs to be convinced he has a decent chance to get placement points.
My argument would be that the team race is gonna be extremely tight, with a razor thin margin between the contenders. I think if the coaches think Facundo will score even 1 more point than Edsell at NCAAs, then you gotta pull the shirt. My two cents.
I'm hoping Cael is away at Cal Poly for a quick recruiting trip!
