His offense, particularly on his feet has stalled completely
The guy is a physical specimen. In high school he could do just about anything he wanted to due to his strength and size. He NEVER got ridden. And more importantly, he NEVER had to do much chain wrestling. If he executed a move, it worked because he could simply overpower his opponents.
Think about all of his close losses this year. Most of them have come from a 50/50 type situation where he winds up being over extended, off balance, or a hair to slow. These are the situations where being able to execute 2,3, and 4 moves are critical to coming out on top. He hasn't developed that ability to quickly put multiple moves together.

What is Catka's deal? Was he grossly overrated coming out of high school?
