OSU / BELLARMINE
125 Bouzakis gets a TF. The fact that Bouzakis is starting against Bellarmine at 125 this early in the season is noteworthy to me. 5-0
133 Davino with a minute and a half TF. 10-0
141 Mendez gets a TF in the third. 4-4 going into the second. AJ Rallo(4xer from Mizz, HS 167-17) got the first TD and made it tough for Mendez. "Slow start" or not for Mendez, I thought Rallo was game...till he wasn't. 15-0
149 Stiles gets a decision. You have to win the ones you're supposed to win. AA last season and I have to believe (because I really don't know) he'll get better as the season progresses... 18-0
157 Cannon with a TF. Looked good... 23-0
165 Paddy gets a TF. Looked good. He was able to get his hips under him right away and get easy TD's. That's been missing. 28-0
174 Kharch TF. Looked good. 33-0
184 Smith loses in SV ride outs. Bellarmine gets a, 'W.' 33-3
197 Geog with a decision. UGLY. I've been talking him up since his RS year. I know it's early but yikes. Shumate can't beat the guy we saw tonight!?!?! Lots of credit to Liber another Ohio kid out of Toledo. He showed more than Geog. 36-3
285 Feldman with a TF. Looked good. 41-3
Expected results for the Buckeyes.
What’s your take on Bouzakis/McCrone? Are you in the boat that Bouzakis can weigh in at 125 consistently, therefore will get the majority of the shots at the duals this season?
I am beyond pleasantly surprised he’s been able to get down there and still be able to wrestle about as good as he’s ever done so at OSU. It’s a good sign imo, especially if there are no signs of fatigue or wear and tear from the cut. Season is young, but there is a lot to be hopeful for with him.
Totally agree with you on Geog too. Not sure what’s going on there. Hew? Too much mass? No idea. Big fan of his and saw the upside, because I thought Shumate may have peaked in high school, but puzzling for sure.
Thanks for the write up.
