Midlands PBP: Session 3

Riddle me this batman...

How can one not become at least a bit concerned when arguably our best wrestler pulls out of the biggest regular season tournament for medical reasons?
Riddle me this...

Which Iowa wrestler forfeited out of the biggest regular season tournament for medical reasons two years ago, then went on to do pretty well at nationals that year?

I guess I'm just not one to strongly react to so something that's more than likely nothing.
 
Looks like they will wait for HWT matches to be completely finished before starting the semis
Cabell and Peck last match out there
Cabell is up 6-2 30 sec left in 2nd
 
The guys that are attacking early are controlling their matches (Gilman, Clark, Sorenson, Kemerer, Brooks, Burak).

Those that wait and feel out the first period are putting themselves in tight 50/50 matches (Cooper, Rhoads, Meyer).

I'd rather be in that first group and control the match, but what do I know.

Well, the guys you list as attacking early are considerably more talented than the guys you list as not attacking (Meyer is probably somewhere in between, talent wise). So it kinda makes sense, right? It's not just a mentality/toughness thing.

Talent level has nothing to do with effort / aggressiveness.

Bummer with Clark we could end up with only 3 in the finals now. 125, 149, 197 Lets hope a couple more guys come through.174 is our next best chance to get a finalist. Clark was penciled in to the finals. 184 is no chance and 285 is not too promising.

Wouldn't call Fagiano unranked or unheard of. He was an NCAA qualifier at Hofstra and Indiana during his D1 career. Had some eligibility left and went D2 at CBU, coached by Lennie Zalesky
