No. Look, it’s splitting hairs, but before last year, PSU had 26 one-seeds under Cael and produced 21 champions from them. That’s 81%.

The past 2 years we’ve had 11 one-seeds. If Luke wins, it’ll be 6 champs. That’s 55%.
Like I said, there are more guys lately getting those one-seeds, and there are more/better offseason international results, but it’s something that has happened nonetheless.
I think you are missing the bigger picture. For quite awhile PSU had 5 studs and another 5 who placed 5th or didn’t AA. Out of those 5, 4 went through to the finals. 80%. But now we have 8+ studs so of course it’s going to be tougher to keep 80 % making the finals. The overall program has gotten much better. We still have those 5 studs that go through but the other 5 are also fighting for the finals

If memory serves me right, Cael has yet to get 5 individual national champions in a single year. Obviously we were robbed at 157, though. McEnelly seems like a good guy and Valencia wrestled well so I am not especially pissed there.
2022 we had 5

Team underperformed this year. Five guys finished below their seed and no one finished above seed. Yet somehow we won our fifth straight title and set records for most bonus points and most total point. What could they do if they ever wrestle to their potential? 😂
I actually think it is impressive, beat the scoring record with 8 AA verse 10 AA last year.

And recorded 4 National Champs - more than any other school.

And that is why so many wrestlers are hesitant to shoot anymore. Davino took the one shot, got countered, rode and lost. So many of today's top wrestlers are great counter wrestlers, as Jax obviously is.
