Cole’s other issue is his top game. Never seems committed to the ride. If you’re gonna be successful at 285, you have to be able to ride. Riding wears guys down. So because he can’t ride, his opponents are fresher. Then he gets in bottom and gets ridden and it wears him down. He needs to develop a better top game.

Cole needs to be a neutral only guy against top 25 wrestlers....unless he can add 15-25 pounds of good weight this offseason. Just not enough horsepower to ride or get off bottom at 220 pounds.
I've watched him since high school. I've never seen him spent like that. He must be absolutely gassed at this point.
Our lead over OSU is now 11 points. Several defaults have helped them along.
They went 7 for 7 in the last round, and now have 3 wrestlers going for 1st and 5 for 3rd tonight.

Wisconsin’s 165 pounder Cody Goebel won his 9th place bout just now and as soon as the whistle ended the bout he ran directly to his coach’s outstretched arms so happy. Love to see this emotion. Then he had to go back to the center to shake his opponent hand and get his arm raised.
It was worth it to see Manning blow his stack.
Looks like big 12 auto qualifies 6 at 285. Carroll only made round of 12. He does have some excellent wins though.
The Brian Kelly of wrestling coachesit doesn't take too much to get him red in the face.
Sorry if I'm late to the party here: Cole Mirasola's fifth place match opponent will be Braxton Amos of Wisconsin.
Carroll will get an at large. That's a lock. Only question is his seed.
Remind me to not be the photographer at his practices.
The important thing is that you brought your hips.
Cole looked spent after that 1st exchange with Kueter. And I thought Kueter got 3 on it. Regardless, I hope he’s okay.
They are all tired. I don’t get that Cole can’t finish and push up on Taye or get out from kueter who has wrestled poorly as of late and same weight. Don’t know why he is gassed already. He better figure it out for NCAAs. We need at least 3 matches from him and possible bonus to start,
For how tough the season has been for Kueter and Ayala, both are wrestling for 3rd tonight. Seems like they’re okay after all.
It’s what scooter looks like when he doesn’t make weight!
Does it hurt him if he doesn’t wrestle him for NCAAs. Already beat him twice. If he is gassed why put the blemish on there.
Cole and Davis will both give us some points at Nationals. Whole different tournament we have almost 2 weeks to prepare. Think positive. Gives Cole a little time to add 5 pounds and get stronger as well. Davis can shock a lot of people if he manages his weight and works on his baseline defense and working ANGLES on his Shots
yes, I know. that's not what I was saying. Cole isn't gaining 5 pounds in 2 weeks. At least not useful weight. It's 2 weeks. These guys are maintaining peak physical shape and not getting injured. not learning anything new right now.
please stop.
OK.....he needs a better top game. He needs to get better off bottom. He needs to gain weight. He needs to get stronger. He will be a top 10 heavyweight at NCAAs. Perhaps we need to get better at typing stuff
I think it's only been once, but it could. placement in conf tourney is a factor in seeding.
Everyone wants Cole to come in and just dominate. HWT is the one weight class that needs time to develop. It's very rare for freshmen to be top guys. He'll be fine as long as he keeps developing. IMO he's already ahead of schedule.
I was thinking taking bottom was OK, but he needs to be more explosive off the bottom. They are somewhat deliberate coming off bottom. Mostly to protect the hands from getting trapped and being vulnerable to tilts and what have you. At heavyweight that is not much of a thing. Explode off the darn bottom.
Looks like my Ignore function for certain posters is paying big dividends this tournament : )
