I was at the Bobcat Classic this weekend, and i was really suprised to see and hear a few things, and thought i'd relay them on to the forums to hear what everyone else has to say:
1.) Is KC Turner really that good? I mean they win this tournament over defending champions and #2 ranked Glenwood Iowa, and over #1 ranked Abilene and Aquinas. Could this team be 4 real?
2.) With the weak showing this weekend at the Bobcat, is Aquinas the real deal on a bad weekend, at a tough tournament, or were we right all along in saying they're over-rated?
3.) How did Glenwood only get 2 kids to be seeded in this tournament? They're defending champs, and certainly have the records to back them up. Was it the lack of common opponents?
4.) What happened to the 189 pounder from Turner and Goodland? Someone told me that they scratched, but why? Were they avoiding the bracket? I think it made the highly hyped 189 pound weight class weaker w/o those 2 ranked wrestlers.
5.) Do you think Taplin deserved the OW? I think the 171 or 152 pound winners could've made a case. For that matter the 189 pound winner could've too. I mean Erisman came out on top of a weight class with 5 or 6 undefeated wrestlers, and 1 with only 1 loss. And Wiscombe went through 2 VERY tuff kids on his way to becoming the 1st 3 time winner ever, and Cisper went through 2 State champions, and a tough kid from Glenwood to his 189 pound title. That being said did Taplin get the OW because of who he is or how he wrestled?
What do you guys think about these questions: Everyone's entitled to their opinion to most of these, but other than that let me know!
