crazyotto 381 Report post Posted September 27, 2018 The boys at Flo are teasing us by trickling out their rankings. Sean Fausz got the 9 at 125. This is his last go-round, so I would love to see him make the podium. I could see him as high as 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcat2002 190 Report post Posted September 27, 2018 Yes sir. I was wondering if he would make a run at 33. The cut seemed to have took the life out of him late in the year. 133 is stacked, wouldn't take my chances there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As much as a fan of Fausz as I am, I highly doubt he would start at 33 on his own team. Tariq Wilson is tough and currently ranked #3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CradleKY 132 Report post Posted September 28, 2018 I see Austin still listed on the Mizzou roster (great news) and I really hope he's ready to bust back on the scene with a successful season but noticed this story on their news page: https://mutigers.com/news/2018/9/23/-mizzouwrestlings-zach-elam-claims-silver-medal-at-world-junior-championships.aspx?path=wrestling Anyone seen Elam in action and have an opinion on whether he will push for the starting spot his freshman year? Not instigating, I honestly just don't know much about him or what the staff has in store for the 2018-19 season. One would think they feel good about having a stronger, older Austin back in lineup and a RS would the ideal decision for Elam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyotto 381 Report post Posted September 28, 2018 Tariq has the 133 spot locked down and is looking at top four at NCAAs. I would guess the 33 spot is his as long as he wants it. Fausz has been conditioning his body to go 25 (my guess). Myers should come in with a lot of motivation. NR by Flo in their top 20. I doubt Elam steps in as a true frosh take the spot unless he really wows the coaches. While Elam wrestles the style needed to be successful in today’s HWT class, he would be better served taking a RS and obliterate the comp at opens. I see a lot of decent talent at HWT this year, but nothing dominating. Myers has an opportunity to face a number of these guys. I don’t think a top ten finish is out of the question for him.

grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted October 24, 2018 I personally can't wait to see what the big man is capable of doing this year. Would be awesome for him to have a monster season and rep the bluegrass. This kid (yes I said kid I'm an old geezer and they are all kids to me) is capable of being a total beast. If he keeps his head on straight and stays focused he can do much. This is a great kid/man with or without wrestling. Good luck Austin . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAC champ is strong possibility which would/should mean decent NCAA seed and a shot at AA. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neutral 134 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Elam over Myers 7-1 in wrestle off. Looks like he's kept form since junior worlds. I'm sure Myers will knock off the rust by the middle of the season wants he gets back into the flow and on the mat more consistently. It's good he has some competition in the room now it should push them both. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyotto 381 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 One match. As eyebrow raising as it might be, it’s one match. I still say the smart money is on Myers starting and Elam going the RS route. I think this would be in the best interest of the team, both long and short term. Any word on Fausz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildcat2002 190 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 Missouri forums say Elam should be starting as long as he can keep his redshirt, Myers should be back after his suspension(says 1 year from december, no reason giving) and fall into the starting role for the rest of the season.

119Rider 61 Report post Posted November 4, 2018 Think we all would like to see Austin representing KY proudly in whatever endeavor that may be. Just because he got beat by a Freshman, who by the way is pretty talented and will beat more than his fair share of college heavies, does not mean he will not beat him later in the year. We know Austin is still working his way back to a starting position. I just hope he gets it back and makes KY proud. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
