Disco Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I’m probably fretting over nothing. I don’t think he’s at his best right now. Weight cut or sickness or burnout. But he seems to be running in neutral. He is a legit AA’er this year. Maybe over training. Hope he gets back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I always love to see the region guys succeed. At his best he’s definitely an all American, and I think he returns to form come big tens. I feel like the weight cut is tough in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against these top guys he has got to find a way to control the pace of the match until he finds an opening to explode for a few points. In the matches where they have keep the pace up, even when he has an early lead, it tends to not turn out great for him in the last period.

ReformedPoster Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I feel like ever since he beat starocci, he hasn't been able to wrestle at the level for whatever reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part this year he has controlled his matches, I’m not convinced he’s learned completely how to set up his shots? He’s starting to telegraph what he’s doing. Stating to far out, then getting countered. Not sharp on offense. Wore down? Weight? Just an observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) No matter what happens with happens with him this year, I hope future potential Indana recruits take note of his career. He went from being a zero time state champion to a solid D1/B1G wrestler and a legitimate AA contender. Heck, he even has signature wins against a number of notable names including one from PSU who will go down as one of the best ever. That is much for DJ and the IU coaching staff to be proud of. Cheers to him. Edited February 9 by matts tyquhp13, MattM, HCman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 So DJ was a no show at Columbus. Have a feeling cutting maybe wearing on him. I could be completely wrong but I don’t remember him getting dinged(hurt) or anything. I noticed Lillard not wrestling at Ohio st. Also. After not making weight ( per coaches)the match before.
