HokieHWT 479 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 I think it's just 197lbers just aren't very good. Moore was hyped after his freshman year but I don't think he's a top tier guy. Brucki is ok but hasn't wrestled anyone. Hell, Sleigh was ranked 7th and got smacked by some scrub freshman from UNC last night. Bo is a good wrestler but everyone else is just meh so they make him look elite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tightwaist 388 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 Bo is certainly more than a good wrestler. And yes, 197 might be the weakest weight in the country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not Ruth, Taylor, Cael, Zain, etc. He has benefited from weak weight classes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gantry 1,527 Report post Posted February 10, 2019 John Smith? Remember that time he used proper strategy and lost a match he didn't have to win in the Olympics? Then won gold in said Olympics?
