Vito just knocking of that Freestyle feel. He probably needed this L and he’ll be peaking come EIWAs. Would love to hear your thoughts on Blaze and Camacho both upsetting Ramos with the exact same finish, on the edge of the mat, as the final takedown. Crazy. EYGM Gang 🙏🏼
Love your videos because of your effort you put in and it helps me out a lot with these examples you present, to see what works on the highest level. I made a flowchart just with your videos to help chain wrestle and on what I still need to improve on. I would like to show you a snippet example of my flowchart. Let me know what you think
Great review -as always! It is amazing how Lethal modern wrestlers are on defending single leg attacks.(I wrestled 1968-1973 LSU before video was widely available)-we had one video where we watched ourselves- we-I stunk-telegraphed etc. Modern USA college international wrestlers-do NOT telegraph to any great extent.Guessing their coaches point out how when they telegraph-and how to not TELEGRAPH- Also coaches walk them through setting up and finishing every move- setups 1970- were crude-simple and invariably TELEGRAPHED Vito read Crookhams first single attempt-just moved his leg away-despite no really obvious telegraphing- they are sooooo good-Vito sooo good- Crookham obviously a handful-strong quick lotta tricks- Great review-thanks!
Good breakdown. Last night our technician was going over this top series. Not sure how important the guys realized it is. Also Crookham caught the leg when it was coming over but then he also switched arms on the pressure both times. Rather amazing pass. Vito will be ready for that next time...I would guess.
3:15 very strongly disagree that the roll doesn't do much- he was dead to rights being driven out of bounds with the seatbelt, he would not have been able to react as he did in the other instances to the far leg going in because of the momentum and the far hip control Vito had. The roll was absolutely essential to not get scored on in that exact moment, but was still likely to surrender 2, Vito missed/Crookham got his foot free and force Vito to wizzer position 4:46 blame definitely has to go on Vito here, maybe he underestimated him but he has perfect position to try and shoulder pressure and fight through the closed wizzer to shelf and finish behind. He gets his hips way too far away (watch in slow mo, he gets greedy). As the exchange progresses he also underestimates Crookham's ability to free his legs and reorient his hips. Crookham looked great here and his physicality was clearly an issue for Vito, but I do think I would pick VIto in a rematch. It wouldn't surprise me if Crookham gets too big for 133 very soon. Enjoyed the video as always!
Slight aside-Vito to some extent-DISSED- Ryan by ostentatiously dragging Ryan back to the middle of the mat.Fair move-but it might have jacked Ryan up a bit It was a "man against boy" moment for a MOMENT! No doubt Ryan did not take it to heart.but....-Yeah in short order Vito became aware Ryan- a freakin handful and a half. Vito never dirty or even very disrespectful-but... Vito is a clean wrestler-not a whiner when he gets beaten-safe bet he will make NCAA finals. Great match- Thanks for the review. Ryan sure looks BIG for 133- very lean and big.?
Right-I tried to find his height-no luck-guessing 5'6" 5'7"-but BIG looking. "Beaten by the scales" old as the hills -but a true scholar athlete like Ryan=probably has that down pat but studying going to class in a tough academic school like Lehigh-or Cornell-or Penn State while starving-is rough- No "basket weaving" classes at those schools.And economic of engineering-sounds rugged-math plus detailed basic science+engineering-yikes
