Common opponents
#6 Kyle Parco Brignola lost 5-2. Bryant lost 15-0.
#29 Cory Crooks Brignola lost 7-6. Bryant lost 6-3 and 6-4.

Brignola best win #14 John Wiley/Oklahoma 10-4. Worst loss #90. 0-9 Top 20. 31-16 career. 66%/13% bonus
Bryant best win #7 Murin/Iowa 7-5. Worst loss #53. 2-3 Top 20. 18-13 career. 58%/23%

Brignola has more experience. Has the ability to keep matches close. He wins more often. What he lacks is the explosive 4-5 point move to upset Top 20 talent.

Higher probability that Brignola places higher in a tournament than Bryant. Brignola should get the spot for EIWA.

I'm betting that Brignola is the guy. Coaches select the wrestler to be evaluated for AQ components. Brignola's RPI on the last release was #19, his Coaches' Rank was #32. Two guys between #28-#31 lost this weekend. If he moves up two spots in the Coaches' Rank, he earns an AQ for the EIWA...

Everyone assumes Brignola will be Lehigh's entry. We should know officially this evening at the EIWA sendoff party at Saucon Valley.

Also, confirmation on who goes @174. Burkhart or Logan.

Choose wisely Sensei.

Gas tank goes on E after period 1.

ASTUTE observation by the Mookster!

IMO he expands soo much energy in that 1ST period to pin that he's spent!

Has to learn to pace himself. The Staff will/should address this issue.

Seriously?

We have one of the most experienced and technically astute coaching staffs in the country.

There’s a point where it’s not a matter of coaching someone up — rather more the responsibility of the wrestler to execute.

We haven’t seen that yet from Manzona. Max is less explosive but way more consistent.

Since there are only 2 bids at this weight, the opportunity to receive a wild card may only be there with a 3rd place finish. Who has a better chance of that? IMO, it’s Max who has an RPI higher than Manzona.

As for 174 — I suppose to they might bench Logan but I tend to doubt it. At this point, maybe better to let Logan wrestle through his slump and hope for the best.
