Yep no reason to work on areas where you need improvement. How can one have any chance of winning in TB if can't even ride for 10 seconds?
Dee has a LOT to work on. Everyone saw some improvement. He tech falled the dude. He got his *** back to center. He didn't tie his shoe laces 17 times. He didn't settle for a decision or even a major. I'm as hard on him as anyone.

He TF the #54 guy at 165. Given the score he had an opportunity to work on other areas.

Dee, use to have the clutch gene but he now is making a habit of losing matches at the end. Also he did seem more active and had energy but he can go many minutes without a takedown and then on that last shot got wissored to his back and pinned. he needs to get back to scoring on his shots, needs more shots and yes he needs to ride and get riding time since he can't score much against good wrestlers. I am afraid that his confidence is sinking for about 9 months. He needs to jump a level because I don't think Casey is going to place in the top 4. Norman won but somehow in last seconds he almost gave a up a takedown and was on his back just after time ended. Bennett won also but it looks like White is the guy at 184.

I really liked the toughness of Jordyn in the finals against Manville rated 21st. He rode Manville the whole 2nd period and Manville several times was close to a reversal but Raney would scramble and come out on top. He then got a reversal and rode him out again for the decision and 1st place. Norman got on Larken's legs all day but could not finish and then would get on the legs and lose the takedown and gave up some back points. Got majored but seemed like it should have been close except if you don't finish bad things happen. Berge lost on a takedown in overtime to Mantonona who is rated 5th. Tagen Med forfeited to the smaller Larkin brother. Dee and Kody did not wrestle.
