Great work by Tyler & Nick. Going to be fun watching them perform against the #1 seeds in their class. Will be valuable in their growth going forward.

Panthers are 5-4 overall so far against ACC competition. Nothing spectacular, but Wilps' win over Doty was convincing.

Anthony, ugh. I expected him to be THE guy for the team this year coming off the redshirt and he looks only ordinary to me now. Which is something he never came across as to me before, even during his (massive) freshman year. I'll grant that Petrov kid is pretty good, but him losing to multiple unranked kids stings.

Overall, I'm very optimistic about our freshman. 4 (of 6) freshman will leave with winning records. He has a long way to go, but I think we actually have something with Sheptock. Bright needs a lot of mat work, but he's going to be SO good by the time he's done.

Finishing that much behind Virginia isn't good, but not having your top ranked kid will do that you.

I see Solomon went 0-2. I know he is redshirting but how did he look? Did he at least lose to ranked wrestlers?

Both losses to unranked kids: 7-3 to Tennessee-Chattanooga's 197 pounder, 4-3 loss to Arizona State's 197 pounder. He sustained what looked like a right leg injury in the 2nd loss - probably nothing serious though. He was visibly frustrated towards the end of the 2nd match.

Not a stellar outing for him, but that was a big time tournament. He's got Matt & Nick to practice with & plenty of time, he needs to use those things to his advantage.
