Crusader2017 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fqvF-NGgm8 Here's quite a lengthy vid of the Altons at Wilkes open.. I know they aren't exactly wrestling NCAA qualifiers but what do you guys think ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissn2001 81 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Obviously, they don't seemed to be well conditioned, but that may have been said a time or two on this forum before. I just don't see them finishing much higher than the 6-8 range. They seem to rely too much on the upper body stuff that better wrestlers should be able to defend. When they get to a leg, they just seem to stop an bury their head into the mat. I hope they do well, but I don't know what "well" is for them anymore.

Good friend. He's a hoot. We work together quite a bit when I'm running events like there. One of my lines for him is What's worse than going to a tournament and seeing Cubby? Seeing Cubby Bair (bare)! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matburn155 3 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 I think Dylan COULD place as high as second, but more likely 4-6. Andrew...well he COULD place, but more likely will win 2 matches. Btw, does anyone have video of a ref calling a pin with the "stomp". Lol I've got to see this! Have looked but can't find any. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pennsyrules 222 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Are we really breaking down video from the Wilkes tournament on basically their first return to competition and using it as a gauge towards success in March? It takes months to get in shape, sharpen timing and technique, and get ready for top competition. I know I'm not telling anyone what they don't already know but lets give these kids a break and see how they progress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pennsyrules 222 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 I don't know but I would wait to see how they look at Big 10's before I made any predictions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
