Shakur Rasheed is going back down from 197 (where he finished 7th last year) to 184. After this year, his body will have stretched, expanded, and contracted again from 165 to 174 to 197 to 184. Martin is the favorite at this weight but can Rasheed jump into finals contention? (He's athletic, long, and loves to pin.) Will the cradle again rock after mysteriously disappearing toward the end of last season? Will Rasheed's unruly hair once again present headgear distractions to the chagrin of Cael? Can he make Myles Martin count the lights in Ohio?

Here are FLOs predictions (not rankings):

1st: Myle Martin, Ohio State

2nd: Emery Parker, Illinois

3rd: Nick Reenan, North Carolina State

4th: Taylor Venz, Nebraska

5th: Shakur Rasheed, Penn State

6th: Zack Zavatsky, Virginia Tech

7th: Ryan Preisch, Lehigh

8th: Louie DePrez, Binghamton

R12: Chip Ness, North Carolina

R12: Max Dean, Cornell

R12: Drew Foster, Northern Iowa

R12: Jacobe Smith, Oklahoma State

One thing Shakur has to work thru this year (and he has the coaches to help)...

Everyone anticipated bonus / cradles thru the post season.

And I don’t think he pinned anyone in BIGs or NCAAs.
Grant it, the competition is stronger.... but.

It’s definitely can be a point of coaching / development focus for his senior year.

Correct, he had zero pins at B10s + NCAAs -- however, he did have 4 MDs (including Miklus). Without re-watching, gotta think he got the cradle in at least one of those matches (but maybe ran out of time?).

The other thing to work on is that he gave up the front leg a little too easily to Moore. It's one thing to use it as bait -- but then you can't let him finish. Martin is quicker and IMO better than Moore.

I have to rewatch it. He did have someone in a cradle @NCAAs but just couldn't hold it.
