Warning : Super long winded season ending thoughts


General thoughts : Coaches Molinaro , Carter and most of all Frayer get massive credit for taking potential with Mekhi and fine tuning it and making a NC. On a negative , losing Molinaro not good but credit to Robie for slotting in Carter .Finishing out of top 10 a little disappointing but doubt that happens next year. Plus with a champ , who cares ! Much more likely we are close to a trophy team next year than out of top 10. On to the weights . 125 : Best wishes / prayers Norstrem is just healthy whether he wrestles or not. Likely Prata will continue to improve as he did all season. Still a year away from Ventresca who will be 4 year 125 and is every bit as promising as Mekhi and DMF were coming from NJ. 133 Myers performed well but fell short of podium in brutal weight class. He's back but does M Moore drop to 133 with B Moore coming back ? Does MM RS ? For that matter does Mekhi take olympic RS next year to wait for these incoming studs to build a potential title team ? 141 : MM had a great true frosh year and his style will lead to lots of points and excitement in the future. He will be a pinning machine by the time he's a SR. 149 : Ryan Blees had a nice season and provided a huge rush with his upset over OKST. Likely manned by B Moore next year. 157 : BC had a good year with continued improvement . Another tough NCAA draw. 165 : Only thing I'll say about this guy is let's all donate to SERTC to ensure this guy has the resources to continue his spectacular development. Side note we likely had 2 of 3 best 165 pounders in college .174 : DMF was clearly up a weight from his ideal 165 ( We now know why LOL ! ) and struggled power wise with little bonus and tough matches all season , culminating in bad loss early in NCAAs. But roared back to finish 5th and even got some bonus ! Awesome job ! Likely will be stronger with another year at weight. 184 : Congrats to ZZ on a great career. ZZ was tough for me to watch in Pitt as I felt ( so did he ) that he was that close to a final. Likely manned by Bolen who with Myles Martin gone , can beat anyone at the weight. 197 : Sleigh wrestled tough despite his previous injuries. Hopefully manned by Borst and guess what , Bo Nickal is thankfully gone ! 285 : Thanks and good luck to Billy Miller. Obviously injuries caught up. I hope Borst goes 197 and doesn't have to take one for team at 285 even though we may have a hole at 285 if he doesn't
