Simply giving my opinion
On how this year went. Not comparing it to the years when Coach Dresser resurrected the program. He was my grad assistant back in the early 90s and will always acknowledge that he saved the program.
As for this year, I do not think there is a wrestler or coach in the program who would give this an 8/10. I think more would have 4/10 than 8/10. Based off of the roster assembled at the beginning of the season, what/who really achieved any goal they had??? I am guessing ACC tournament champs and that is it. I would think the following would have been realistic goals for each:
Team: ACC Dual meet and Tournament Champs.
6AA, as well as Podium finish in Philly
Individual:
125- National finalist
133- Top 4
141- AA
149- champion
157- AA
165- qualify and win a match
174- AA
184- AA
197- AA
285- AA
Only 165 probably met his goal. We’re 125 and 149 very close, absolutely!! I love the program and am so proud to be a wrestling alum. However, this year had to be a huge disappointment for those currently in the program.

I’d agree with a 60% rating.

8 out of 10, regular season ups and downs and NCAAT was what I expected ...

This season lacked consistency throughout the lineup. Seemed like the team

I tend to be a pessimist but imo it was solidly okay. 6.5/10
