Some context/discussion. College wrestling is a bit “unfair” in that you are really judged on NCAAT results. AA is the goal - then Natty Champ obviously the ultimate prize. I think EV had a darn good year - just a rough weekend - actually a few bad seconds - MAMcG gifted him a point and victory to the semis & Eddie changed his escape plan & it cost him. I’ll bet EV would trade his ACC Champ this year (which is a great accomplishment) & his 2 other victories vs VRob this season for a win in the Blood Round this year vs. VRob to AA. I’ll bet he would even trade last year’s ACC Champ & victories vs VRob for VRob’s Natty last year. Do you think Jesse Mendez considers his season a success? I hope he does (I do) - but I doubt it. Not getting that 3-timer probably stings & people will remember Vega as the 141 Champ. Back to current Heavies. Do you really think Jimmy had a good year? Improving? I think Jimmy could be great & I’m pulling for him - lot has to come from within him & change - but again, we need to change something with the overall HWT regimen - including training partners & some coaching. Bolen regressed, Catka & Jimmy were both #1 HWT in their classes. Andy probably hit his ceiling. TJ… Lot of variables but don’t think you can just ignore coaching - coaching is involved in a lot of these variables. Love Haught - Great Hokie & good Coach - met him multiple times as well - his loss to MikeMach in NCAA Finals (after beating him 2/3 times that year was tough). I think it’s ok & fair to at least augment CJH/training partners & change up some things. Maybe at least consult w/some outsiders. Someone had a great post on here listing some creative thinking for some training partners/different perspectives. Sonny is a peculiar case. He looked great at the end of the year & ACCT. He changed his approach - setting up attacks vs letting guys get to his legs and looking to scramble- but he seemed to inexplicably revert back to that in most of NCAAT & it cost him imo. Good discussion - I personally feel we have a great opportunity next year - but if we go w/the status quo & approach at Heavies - we are going to fall short of our potential as a Team. I look forward to Sonny & Jimmy (& the rest of the squad) taking steps forward next season, hopefully jumping levels & becoming the best versions of themselves. Go Hokies!
