Andonian and Brady are Great, but some critiques


Brady is seriously such a good wrestler, however he needs to wrestle nonstop. He reminds me of Dance and ZZ in that he takes matches off of parts of matches off. This morning he took a match off. In the past hes been beating a guy like David Carr and then takes part of the match off and a guy like Carr will run away with that. He’s so impressive when he’s on his game though. So good. This is a head thing and those are tougher to fix, but hopefully he can fix it.

Andonian is the complete opposite. Kid never takes a second off, but he has a lot of flaws in his game. I’ll point them out so you don’t think I’m crazy.
1. Some of his shots are a little sloppy. Specially his double and high single. His elbows are out a lot especially on the doubles(the coaches seemingly easily corrected this with Mekhi).
2. He rolls his feet way too much. He ends up on his heels and D1 wrestlers will figure out how to time this and get easy takedowns.
3. He lets his head get way too low. When I was coming up riding legs was the thing and everyone was practicing it so if you couldn’t defend it you were toast. Now front headlocks are the thing and everyone is practicing it so he needs to keep that head up.
I think our coaches will be able to correct the elbows and the head because they have done both before, but footwork is one of the harder things to correct. Kids got quick reflexes so maybe he can overcome it. Joey often rolled his ankles and that was rarely an issue so I think Andonian is going to be fine. I hope he gets a redshirt year, but there’s a possibility he might have to go right away.
