Yes. SVN needs to be more aggressive. He’s very athletic. Now……We need bonus points from 157 up throw HWT.

And he still stalled the whole 3rd period.
B-O-R-I-N-G. Also, Max is a fifth yr senior, SVN is a redshirt freshman. What does that tell you about Max’s Iowa “development”?
He's young. A lot of fans were hard on the team after the Iowa meet, but the experienced guys were fine. It takes time to be confident enough to wait them out. I think SVN should've pushed the pace a little sooner in the 3rd cause he might get the extra stalling calls, but you could tell Murin wanted nothing to do with him. The second he could grab a leg and hold on, he did. SVN will get there.
I’m fully with you there! After the first Iowa meet, when SVN lost the same match, we said the same thing essentially. The hope is from 1 to 2 he gets at least some of that confidence and improves, but he didn’t really seem to. Now we go to hoping he does for a potential round 3
It took Kerk 3-4 tries to get Cass. I'm not shying away from a 3rd at nationals.
MAJOR upset at 149: No. 7 Rooks of IU beats Gomez the two seed 6-5.
Gomez looked to be injured after that match. One knee was taped and the other was braced. Seemed to be favoring the braced knee.

He got hurt during the season. There were questions if he'd even wrestle.
Alex had that TD. Cael didn’t throw brick. He grabbed the far ankle which is automatically.
Oof Facundo and SVN both proving me wrong today.
Work to do from them in the bottom half.

I don’t have any doubt about them or their future potential, hope it doesn’t come off that way.
They both just have showed that promise already, and I thought they could take the next step here and now.
They haven’t taken it, so it feels a bit of a let down, even though it’s understandable.
This is their first big tournament with quality competition throughout. I think they'll both look better in 2 weeks.
