What's this?

Positives with a few "ifs"

125--Latona has to turn things around but in his defense he's wrestled 2 top 10 and 4 top 10-20 already this season. He can return to AA caliber.
133--Korbin is a solid top 10 guy.
141--Girardi is improving but a Hillegas would be better....JMO!!
149--Andonian needs to be healthy. If he is then he's AA capable.
157--Brady continues to improve but wish he'd score more. To many close ones. He lost this weekend to the #3 in SV.
165--Ulrey has really come on. Losing to two top 10's by 2 points demonstrates that improvement.
174--Mehki is solid. A top 3 guy.
184--Bolen is solid. Not sure what happened in his 1st loss. A top 5 guy.
197--Howard was gaining confidence but I like Smith. Losing to #17 by 1 in your 1st real match of the season...like it.
285--Traxler is solid. A top 10 guy.

If all wrestle to the above and Brady/Ulrey/Smith continue to improve, we'll be pushing for a top 7 finish.

Disappointing result in FL. Thought this team would have a chance at top 5 -- hokiepro 12/22/2021 09:11AM

I can see both sides being disappointed but encouraged -- HokieRat 12/22/2021 10:56AM

The reason I am encouraged is this is the first time this season.... -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 11:15AM

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

@Palmetto Hokie can you clarify.. -- MEVT 12/22/2021 10:42PM

I was referring to hokietony... I believe he had made the observation that -- Palmetto Hokie 12/22/2021 11:05PM

I agree. ** -- HokieJay 12/23/2021 9:13PM

I suspect something more tangible, like he missed time last fall due to -- Wilmington Hokie 12/22/2021 11:39AM

I wonder if part of the TD finishing... -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 11:18AM

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

Maybe it's hand in hand ... -- KCDale 12/22/2021 11:03AM

Agreed... but we didn't notice this until his losses in the NCAA's ** -- Palmetto Hokie 12/22/2021 4:28PM

This team is really good. -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 09:21AM

Not everyone evaluates the performance of the team the same way. I do -- dallasvt 12/22/2021 11:18AM

Fair. ** -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 11:19AM

Ok that seems unnecessary but go ahead and seriously please explain to me -- hokiepro 12/22/2021 10:24AM

Positives with a few "ifs" -- wasris 12/22/2021 10:50AM

Ok here you go for positives from FL. -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 10:43AM

Agree with all of that -- Pylons 12/22/2021 1:41PM

That pretty much nails it. Ulrey reminds me a little bit of... -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 4:16PM

Shouldn't have told him to stay off this board. That wasn't necessary. ** -- VTexas 12/22/2021 11:01AM

You are probably right. -- Hokie Flyer 12/22/2021 11:11AM

Not seeing what? ** -- Pylons 12/22/2021 09:17AM

A top 5 finish -- hokiepro 12/22/2021 09:21AM

Well, top 5 is a lofty expectation -- Pylons 12/22/2021 09:34AM

Sure. Like I said I hope it’s just early learning lessons and we peak -- hokiepro 12/22/2021 10:22AM

No team peaks in mid December. -- emhokie 12/22/2021 4:44PM
