Yes, I was there and a few thoughts for you guys
Great Motivational speech by Tom at the start of practice. I am sure it will be on flo later.
Ok now to some observations I made...
Gilman was paired with McDonough and it wasn't pretty. I LOVE Gilman but he needs to put some weight on to hang with Matt. He could get to his legs but just got overpowered and he relaxed a few times and Matt pounced on him.
Clark looked pretty good but cant remember for sure who he was wrestling
Cant remember for sure who Ramos was paired with but it wasn't pretty either. All Ramos and Ramos all day long.
Carton was paired with Gurule and on his feet he dominated but Gurule evened it up on the mat.
Ballweg was paired with Ryan if I remember correctly and Ballweg actually looked pretty good.
Dziewa and Dennis were going hard and Dziewa looked good at times but relaxed a few to many times for me and Dennis made him pay.
First time I have seen Skon go live and WOW!!! Love this kid he is a "goer" and he was relentless on Owens!!! Should get to see him on Flo they spent a lot of time watching him...
Kelly and Grothes were not all that close until Grothes hit one of his throws and cut Kelly's chin. But Kelly dominated most of it.
DSJ vs. Star was fun but I must say Star got the better of him. DSJ is my favorite Hawk and love his chances but Star was just to strong for him yesterday.
Evans/Metcalf was a blast to watch. Honestly spent the most time watching these 2 go at it. Evans actually had a few nice takedowns and rode him VERY hard for a while. Although he needs to cut him and work on his feet a bit more he did look pretty good.
Cant for sure remember who Grant was wrestling but it was all GRANT. GG is going to be tough this year guys. Here's hoping he goes 174 and I think he wins it there guys.
Lofthouse and Backes, that's right Backes!!! Its was hard to tell but this might suprise a few of you Lofthouse looked to be getting the better of Backes. Everytime I looked over Lofthouse was either riding tough or just took him down. Ethan REALLY impressed me yesterday.
Brooks and Fahler were pretty entertaining. Brooks is definately the better wrestler but Fahler kept it close for a while with his funk. Fahler is a pretty good athlete but he is pretty raw.
Lira and Bess were going at it hard and Lira looked REAL good. Had him on his back numerous times and Lira used a different set of moves to get a td and back pts.
Telford made the biggest impression on me. What he did to the "Danimal" just amazed me. He owned him and looked GREAT! I am REALLY Excited about where he is at.
Well that's all I remember. Hopefully I don't get kicked in the head by the coaches for this but there should be a lot of this stuff up on flo soon......
