I know he had a couple of close wins and lost one match but after watching he's improvement this year; I believe that as far as technique is concerned, Keegan is the best wrestler on the team. I used to think it was Kaid but seeing his continued troubles on bottom I can only think of one thing: Nathan Morgan.
Keegan can do it all; he's great on his feet whether it's going upper body or a low single to make John Smith proud. He's very hard to take down even when he's given up his leg. He's a competent if not great rider who can ride when he needs the point and efficiently gets off the bottom.
If he realizes how good he is and decides to wrestle start to finish he will surprise a few people at nationals.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and pick Boo as my #2 Technician. He seems a little undersized but is great on his feet and I love the move he does that Jake Rosholt used to use where from a tie-up he pulls the head to the left with his right arm and grabs the left ankle with his left hand (or vise verse); I don't know what it is called.
Chandler is so much fun to watch, you just never know what he is going to do next. It seems to me that both of the take downs he gave up in the finals, he just gave to the guy. If he could wrestle in a controlled style he could be great; but not as much fun.
It is a joy to watch Derek White wrestle. He looks like a kid that is continually getting away with something he's now suppose to be doing; I love it. Every time I see him wrestle I'm reminded of something Coach Smith said about him in an interview, "Derek always thinks he's doing the right thing, even when he isn't."
Uninjured; Smith and Weigle would have won out. Pic looked solid, nobody wrestled harder than Moran and my heart goes out to Dean. He wrestled solidly but Meredith is a very good wrestler. I hope he comes through at nationals, not for us but for himself.
OU and ISU have fallen far and it's sad to see. No complaints to the wrestler's or coaches behavior as in sometimes past but Zadick looks like a mad man.
Last thing; All around worst Coach and worst fans: Sammie Henson and his goon squad, fans from West Virginia. Sammie has instilled them with his no class style. We Weigle lost to their wrestler, their fans were absolutely be-utches. The whole group had left by the time one of their wrestlers had received his award a 197; totally devoid of class.
