Micic and Cashe both great wrestlers as is Lee. Lee might very well be one of the best but the original post was Tsirtsis and Lee freshman year. I think Tsirtsis wrestled a much tougher schedule and beat Cashe in the semis when nobody thought he would lose that year. Just my opinion Tsirtsis Freshman campaign was more impressive.
On a side note Htfit78 and Jayruss. I think you have forgot how good Cashe was. He lost his soph. year in the finals to Harper a three time champion. Won his Junior year and his senior year bumped up a weight class a few times to beat Harper. He beat Wright as well. After Tsirtsis beat him he went on to win Jr. Nationals beating some good wrestlers and came in second Senior nationals losing to Colon who is #1 this year at 133. Below are some of the wrestlers he beat to win his Jr title. Oh yeah I forgot Cashe AA as a true freshman the following year and was ranked 3-5 at 130 in the national rankings that year before Tsirtsis beat him. Micic vs. Cashe would have been a great match IMO don't think it would have been a major for Micic. Tsirtsis a freshman beat a senior Stud and Lee did not and got dominated. I think Tsirtsis's Freshman year was better. I think Lee will win 3 and is going to be really good not taking anything away from him.
