It's not like Tomasello struggled all year. His only loss of the year came in OT to a great wrestler in Gilman. Yes, it might be a tough cut, like it is for many and always has been, but it certainly didn't seem to effect his on the mat performance. He'll be very good wherever he lands, of that I am certain.
It sure as hell DID effect his on the mat performance: He gassed badly against Gilman, and Gilman broke him in the third, and pinned him in overtime. That's called "effecting performance".
