Sort of like winning the recruiting championship. Gives him something to feel good about but doesn’t mean anything unless the results follow. As Tom Brands often says . . . “I like our guys”

Tom's team did win an early season invitational tournament, so he has that.

Unfortunately, I think Shayne blew his chance to be a National Champion. I think it's going to be extremely hard for him to run this gauntlet next year and win it all, I'm sorry to say.

Him and Bartlett couldn’t wrestle more different styles but I think the mental side is very similar; strictly from an athletic standpoint. I think you’re right…
