I understand why Lee has to play coy - but don't know why others are acting all secretive too. Anyway, if the rumor about Daton might be true, frankly it doesn't move the needle for me much anyway. We aren't going to be very good next year to begin with, and Young may be more suited to 133, so is it worth a big $$$ investment (which he absolutely deserves) for one more year of an admittedly great wrestler? IDK. The reality is that we are at least 2 years off of being a top 5 team again, and while I really LOVE watching Daton wrestle, as far as the team is concerned, the difference between say finishing 12 and 15 next year doesn't move the needle a lot. Now, how that would impact perception, and guys in the room that want to train with a guy like Daton? That might play a bigger factor. We are in on a couple of other AA type guys in needed weights, but I do not think it is worth selling the farm and paying top $ for lets say a Shane Griffith to rent for 1 year to move up a couple of places. That money can be better spent on younger guys that will be around when we have the chance to be good, IMO.
If we get Jax Forrest and Dee Lockett and keep our other top young guys, we will be well on the way back to the podium.
