Rider/Bucknell 1/11

Can some give me the readers digest version for someone who couldn’t watch today?
Very short - ISU over Rider 30-9, winning 7 and losing 3. ISU over Bucknell by 28-12, again winning 7 and losing 3 (Riggins getting pinned)

The long and short here (my observation) is that Riggins is not our answer at 165, and MJ is not ready for 174. Schon not ready for this competition yet. J Frost with a couple of nice ranked wins today, Bockman and Chitum with workmanlike wins. Overall, ISU not looking like a top 10 team today.
 
I don't think Riggins loves the sport of wrestling anymore
I just watched a video of Reece Humphrey talking about how this sport breaks everyone at some point. His freshman year he was ranked high (maybe 7th) and finishes the year 2-12... he literally told his coach to give back his wild card. This made me think of a few of our guys who are struggling. They can come out of it and have great careers.

Not much synopsis other than, 125-157, 184, 285 all solid to very good today, and 165, 174 and 197 were not good.

Don’t know what the answers are at those three weights (don’t think we have any answers this year), but the competition we face at those spots the next 6 weeks is going to be a lot better than what they saw today.
 
Outside of 165, 174, and 197, really liked what I saw this week. Riggins showed some promise against the 22nd kid outside of the last 30 seconds where he got pinned. Still think we have a path to top 10, but it’s going to be tough. If Paniro stays this aggressive, and Chittum keeps dominating lower ranked guys, those are point scorers along with E Frost at NCAAs. Jacob and Bockman look solid too
 
What was Schon walking around at at the beginning of the season?

Irrelevant. He’s been 220-HWT for 5 years and now he’s at 197. He’s sucking down and it rarely works out.

It’s hilarious you watch these guys gas out and somehow it doesn’t click for you that they used to be much bigger.

Hard to break the bad habits he came here with. He looked much better that last match until he blew it.

He’s just not very good.

So you have no idea about Schon’s weight but that is irrelevant? Haha ok pal.

This reminds of Michael Moreno, he was lost his RS freshman year and maybe even his sophomore year, then his last two years he AA's 5th and 6th. Kids can turn it around, but they have to have the want and live the lifestyle.

One of my favorites, was so great to watch him have that success after a tough couple of years

The lifestyle is so important. Ask Kyven Gadsen. There has been so many guys not accomplish anything that they were capable of because they failed at this part

He AA his So. & Jr. years. Was seeded 2nd his Sr. Year but never placed. Very painful to watch him lose the first round match almost the exact same time ISU loss in BB when they were heavy favorites.

Thanks for the correction , totally forgot about that senior year loss . Loved both Michael and Gabe , that shoulder injury and then the re- injury were brutal.
