Any update on who is supposed to wrestle/ how many guys we are bringing. We have 3 duals so an option for rotations there and could also be a chance to use some of the true freshman's free matches

Good stuff Eric thanks!Here's my preview story: https://pittsburgh.rivals.com/news/navy-should-present-early-season-test-for-panthers
Matthew’s incredible display of offense gets him again
Cole doesn’t make podium this yearVery disappointing start. For all the talk about Cole needing to find offense, he didn't take a shot in a seven-minute match. Tried to rely on riding time and escapes and it backfires at the end.
Would the result likely have been different if the event were at home?Well with a lot of first year starters in the lineup I guess this shouldn’t be too unexpected but to have that poor of a performance it is disappointing. Navy is a good team no doubt about that but a little offense and the match is completely flipped around. I will say navy 157 needs to relax. Clearly punched keslar and then ran him into a table I believe purposely. I normally say just let them wrestle but that was a little extreme
Truth. This is not new.Im Not overreacting cause nothing means much until end of year but it’s the same story every year, no offense, counter offense only and pray to hang on.
Excellent Recap & spot on observationsSecond half now:
165: Holden takes the first leg attack of the dual and he scores! His scrambling is what I wish Matthews/Solomon's were. Always thinking about he can score from specific positions rather than just fighting to survive. Even when his opponent got in deep on a shot he defended then instantly got himself into an advantageous position where Evans just held on for a stalemate. He was close to giving up a takedown on a slide-by/shrug but he rolled through it and avoided the TD. His single attack where he throws the far leg in from the whizzer position is very good. Love how he cut his opponent up 7 to work for major, he almost got the takedown as time expired as well. Overall he was the first wrestler to actually initiate real attacks and it paid off with three takedown.
174: Luca shoots and he scores to start the match. His throw-by for the second takedown was beautiful. He worked hard for bonus and ended up giving up the late TD but held on after for the win. Wask is very good as well, he beat Luca last season.
184: Reece and Key both went at it from the beginning, he is always game for a big counter but sometimes he just needs to bail and give up the three. Luckily for him 184 is filled with guys that like to get after it, so there will be times it goes in his favor.
197: Mac looked to be the aggressor and it paid off late in second. Loved the shots he was taking
285: Dayton looked much less outsized than he did last year which is good. He also was the aggressor at times and got in deep on some attacks. His work on top is good. The takedown he gave up looked to be part of the heavyweight growing pains/ fatigue from a long day. I am not too concerned about him but he looked much more like late season Pfitzer than Lehigh/Midlands Pfitzer.
Second half of the lineup was much more lively, we could have won all five of these matches and the dual IMO. That is the one upside of this I suppose, in that a match where our 2 highest ranked wrestlers lost we realistically could have won regardless if a few of the other close matches went our way.
