Discussion Topic: Alright let's Start Talking Next Year's Buckeyes
Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on March 29, 2024

I don't see Welsh as moving up to 197. But maybe 184? Rogotzke is not particularly big either. Where does he go?

And then of course there's Kharchla. He'd be a good one year fit at 174 if Welsh moves up. But he's got big holes in his game. He doesn't ride well. His bottom needs fine tuning. And everyone knows he's going to shoot on his opponents right leg. It's a really good leg attack but he needs more variance. If he's back and starting, I'd recommend he watch Aaron Brooks riding technique on video.

There have been times when Kharchla has put in tough rides, turking guys, using the assassin on some, riding opponents out. I often wonder when the top guy doesn't really make an effort to keep a man down, is he bad on top or does he just plain hate to ride? I think Geog is in that category. When you watch these upper level matches it seems overwhelmingly you have to ride guys to some degree, Sasso was an example, he could ride if he had to and won some close matches because of that skill. But when your opponent stands up and you make no attempt to bring him back to the mat I really have to question if he really wants to ride.
