Overall - I would give this an A for this point in the season.
Spratley was the aggressor in his match. He won on his feet and was in on several shots.
Witcraft was never really close to giving up points in his match. He put on a hard ride and was close to getting turns several times. He had a nice throw at the end to finish the match.
Jamison continues to show ability. I was hoping to see Schwartz here to get a better gauge on Jamison, but he did a really good job in the top position with some strong mat returns.
Williams lost this match with a more than questionable flip attempt. Williams was in on several shots but struggled to finish. He got out scrambled and in a defensive position before he tried the flip. The way he landed, I was concerned that he may have concussed or at least stunned himself when he hit the mat. If he finishes his shots this does not come down to the end.
Travis was the aggressor and forced stall call from Wiley. Travis caught him at the end and finished with the major. Great job by Travis who seems to be running with his opportunity.
Olejnik was solid and kept hitting the same move for takedowns. Won all positions.
Thompson showed a lot here. Picklo is a solid wrestler and was ranked number 17. Thompson was dominant on top and controlled this match in all positions.
Hass was not even close to scoring. We will need Surber back, or we will most likely not score any points at this weight.
Doucet did not do much in this match, but he was slightly better at riding and won. Heindselman is a quality guy ranked around 10, so Doucet is competitive with anyone outside of the top few.
There is reason for optimism. Young guys Spratley, Jamison, and Thompson are showing improvement and should keep climbing the rankins. Olejnik looks even better than I thought he would be. Plott looks good and has adjusted to the weight well. We know that Daton will be there in the end. In my opinion the year has gotten off to a good start now that Thompson seems to be turning it around. We need Williams to start winning matches and Surber's improvement is an incomplete at this time.
