Well, if your going to back what that moron said then your just as bad. Is that your job ranking wrestlers? Your not a fan of any wrestler when you berate him like that. Take a fricking hike. I don't even want to be on this forum with **** like you and the moron. Damn easy to figure out why they call you weezer. 98% of the posters on this forum are intelligent and then there is the two dimwits.

First to call someone a moron shows your true character. Second I praised Ramos, Ballweg, Moore, Evans and Burak in my post. Third I wrestled since I was young, wrestled for a very successful Iowa high school program and am currently a head wrestling coach so I believe that I have an informed opinion when it comes to watching a wrestling match. This forum is based on opinions and if you can't stand it, then don't visit.

St. John is the #1 ranked wrestler in the country. He wrestled an unranked opponent. He had a chance to get a major or possibly a pin in the contest and put a ton of pressure on Minnesota and failed to do so. He looks absolutely gassed at the end of the match for someone who hand-fought his opponent the entire match and did not press the pace and try to open the gap and get bonus points. He does not look like a #1 wrestler to me. Dependable to me is someone that you can go down a lineup and look at the kid and say win without hesitation. Mcdonough and Ramos would be an example of dependable to me. St. John will get beat during the course of the season and I believe it will be before before big tens. He is content with being good, not great. Until that changes I do not expect big things from him in the ncaa's, and by that I mean bonus points. We are getting close to december when wrestlers start to show their true colors and I did not like the effort I saw from St. John against Minnesota.

Couldn't have summed up DSJ's performance any better myself.
