IMHO team wise I actually think we are pretty good.


At level changes and generating shots. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems as though it doesn't lead to anything other than a single leg attempt that gets countered. Remember Chishko's devastating double leg TDs? Wow when he hit 'em it...he REALLY hit them hard. And certainly I think we are having some challenges finishing.....we seem to get in sticky scrambles that we always come out on the short end of. Bolen/Mekhi seems to have a strategy to use tie ups as a way of wearing down their opponent versus setting up a move. It works. These two wrestle about 20 lbs heavier than their actual weight.

Right now Myers is our best level change, set-up guy. Has a lightning quick and mean ankle pick. He is a real joy to watch.

I just think Catka needs a back up strategy for guys like Costello where traditional TDs don't work well. IIRC it was BC Laprade that had that sneaky arm drag that he would rip occasionally? And as @emhokie pointed out Walz' hi-crotches to a duck under were magic.
