I really like how we are wrestling against a team that is over matched. All 4 wrestlers have scored with lots of takedowns and each wrestler I think got some back points. Our number 1 recruiting class from 2023 is not looking good this year. Carroll is gone, Hughes is questionable because of weight and maybe commitment and Thompson has been questionable because of attitude and lack of aggression.
More of the same in the 2nd half of the dual. Nice victory for the true freshman Young. He rides hard, escaped easy and score on a couple of takedowns with a dump and a fireman. Plott and Hamiti with 1st period pins (dominant). Surber with a tech with lots of takedowns, even when he didn't seem to get in deep, he would overpower his opponent and get the takedown. A victory for Doucette with a very surprising 2 to 1 score. Great win with an overmatched opponent.

Well that’s what you want to see. Domination and guys trying new stuff and gunning for it. Love seeing multiple coaches talking to the athletes every break too. Still pretty surreal.

What’s up with KD tho dang. Guy lives in his comfort zone.

Don’t think coach appreciates Doucet ignoring his order to release and go get a takedown on the restart around the 1:20 minute mark in the 3rd. Connor covered and road long enough to get the RT point. Not a good move on his part.
Nope they were visibly not happy with him after the match. They wanted to see a lot more than that **** show display of offense

Doucet hasn’t learned anything. time to move on and hit the portal. Hughes had two options 1) manage your weight and do what we know you can do or 2) find a new home. Can't believe we didn't have anyone to throw out there at 133. Possible rookie coaching mistake for DT? Idk what else to think.

We had someone. Coach decided to use it as a learning opportunity.

I'd hardly call it a rookie mistake but it would've been interesting if he could've thrown Sam Smith out there. Sakamoto now shows up on the roster according to wrestlestat.com but yeah I doubt he was ready to jump in but it could've been fun.
