I understand. My point is you are asking a lot out of him to get a pin vs Iowa's guy, unless he somehow took him down to his back. He is a good HW.
He's won meets for us before, it just shoouldn't come down to having to get a pin to win.
Dude, have you followed our program over the last couple years? Z has had some of the bigger wins for this team than anyone. I'm talking the kind of wins that are for conference championships.
I agree with you. I took it that you were saying Z isn't capable of getting bonus points because he's light. If he was heavier, his style would be drastically different than it is.
Mocco is an exception, not the rule.
I have, but I don't have Z's match-by-match scoring analysis right in front of me. Winning matches is one thing, but I asked about his tendency for scoring bonus points. If we are only in situations where we are down by two and a simple decision will win it for us, then great.
glad to see the cyclones wrestling more aggressively. i think we have the right coach to improve the program as long as he can recruit IOWA'S best wrestlers and ARIZONA'S top wrestlers. coach jackson will be ten times the coach that bobby douglas was.i think he will develop a potent wrestling squad in the coming years.
Not true a tie is a tie in a dual, no criteria for regular duals. Only in dual-tournament (National Duals) situations where someone needs to advance. OU and OSU tied earlier this week in their dual. You only get 4 points for a tech fall unless you have back points than it is 5. Mueller did have back points against him but wanted to clarify.
Wrestling is basically a structured way to kick someone's ***. Very intricate, but once understood, pretty awesome.
Z uses his smaller stature to out shape and out quick the bigger guys, he wins a lot of matches in SV. He uses the early periods to wear down the bigger opponents. I think this style hurts as the year winds down because the bigger guys take longer to get in shape and at the end of the year he does not have as big of an advantage.
