Now that it seems that PD3 coming here is a legit possibility, let's talk about what he brings to the team wrestling wise. Keep the off the mat stuff in the other thread.
Haught from VT is the highest returning placed at 197 (besides the favorite, Moore). Downey beat him for 5th the year prior. And with the people Downey beat this past spring, I think he is ranked #2 to start the season.
I also think he is a toss up with Moore. Moore's bronze at Junior Worlds was awfully impressive, but Downey got a silver like 5 years ago, and was very competitive on the senior level this year.
One thing is for sure, he will bring a lot of excitement to the matches.
