Off the top of my head, I can think of Pletcher. What about A Robles - i always thought that the jump he made from his junior year to his senior year was pretty incredible.

Le duke 396 Report post Posted September 18, 2021 So, to summarize: Luke Pletcher makes a huge jump, signaled by some good Freestyle wins in the offseason. Starocci, one of two people who can be a five timer, beats a guy who went 2-1-1-1 at NCAAs, Evan Wick and Chance Marsteller on the same weekend. He went from beating Marsteller 4-2 to a 7-0 shutout, after spending a summer training with multiple 2021 Olympic medalists. But, no, he’s already run out of talent, progression or both.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 wamba and Perry reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starocci did and will continue to improve. 1 Le duke reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had his dip. He steadily improved, as you can tell by his bonus percentage increasing steadily his soph, junior, and senior season. Peep harder! I think we have different understandings of "steadily". That's fine. We both agree he improved, just see differently as to the extent of his improvement. I don't have the motivation to whip out the ole' web scraper, but I feel confident that if you compared his match points and takedown #'s, his senior year would show a significant increase compared to prior years. Afterall, his bonus % nearly doubled between his junior and senior year. That is a pretty significant jump to me. If you think that is a "steady" increase, well... we don't have much more to talk about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could, by your logic, argue that because bonus tripled between 2nd and 3rd year that was his leap year yeah? Otherwise you have a lot of speculative 'if this is true then I am right' stuff going on there. Every guy going in to his senior season has tgat 'Tine to be serious' moment. The only significantly special thing that happened was a weight class change. Everything else was a reaction to that and basic, steady improvement.
