USA wrestling this weekend
57- Gilman looked great. Hard to root for him, but he sure looks good right now and he’s our guy so I will reluctantly be cheering him on. Gold
61- Nashon looked about as expected. This is definitely our weakest weight. Really wish Ramos had moved up. He probably wouldn’t medal, but I think he’s the more solid option. Once Lee/Fix take over at 57 I see this being Gilmans new home. DNP
65- Stieber isn’t strong enough for the guys at 61. To think a year ago we had Oliver, Zain, and Coach Molinaro all of which would be better options than Stieber at this point. DNP
70- James Green looks inconsistent as usual. Hopefully this warm up was just what he needed. DNP
74- Burroughs lost a tight controversial match to Chamizo. I expect JB to show up strong at Worlds. Silver
79- Dake looks great. He could see gold in the near future if he keeps wrestling the way he did this weekend. Gold
86- Taylor by far had the greatest showing and looked like our best wrestler by a long shot. He pinned his way through one of the toughest tournaments in the world. Very impressive. Gold
92- Like Green I’m hoping Jden just needed a warm up tournament. DNP
97- Snyder lost which isn’t that alarming as he does take losses, but is an under the lights guy. The loss could hurt his draw at worlds though so he’s probably going to have a tough road. Bronze
125- Gwiz looked good. He looks bigger so again hopefully the tournament is a good warm up. Bronze
