Weatherman is a strong kid and like everyone else I had high expectations for him. Wrestling is an intense sport on your mind and right now I agree with someone's post that he needs some fish to help build his confidence. One thing I do like about him is that he hates to lose and I believe he has a good idea on how hard he will need to work to become an AA. I just wished he would have wrestled more open tournaments last year when he was redshirted to prepare for this year. His brother is a stud wrestler for Ballard this year and I sure hope we can land him next year. Nice to see we grabbed Soresons brother as well. Just think...we went from 25th before the season to be a top 12 team...that's quite an accomplishment and we're only half way into the season.
Unless I've got him mixed up with somebody else, we already have his brother verbally committed to ISU. I agree that while we're not up to our historical standards, we are actually exceeding our preseason expectations at this point. I like what KJ is doing and am willing to give him the time necessary to sort out the issues that Cael left and replace the talent that went east.
