What's this?

Yesterday was a tough pill to swallow ...

but this team is still in it against 4 top 10 teams. Losing Bryce was devastating to the lineup and basically wiped out our chances against ASU. For me Latona has been the biggest disappointment but even with him underperforming we are still very good. I'm not sure anyone thought we were top 5 to start the season, too many holes in the lineup. The schedule will get a lot softer and you will see a huge difference when we start wrestling teams who are #15-#30. If Latona gets everything right, which if it's a weight issue it's going to be very difficult and our lineup gets back to normal you will see a borderline top 10 team.

Don't think it's weight for Sam...seems more lack of confidence/aggression -- Palmetto Hokie 12/22/2021 10:52AM

Shouldn't his length be an advantage? NCSt makes a living with lanky guys ** -- Palmetto Hokie 12/22/2021 4:37PM

It can be for some. From personal experience.... -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 5:42PM
