Im guessing that he believes the low ranking will light a fire under Montels arse..

[pin2win]

yes turkey and i believe the ranking is correct

[castille]

Still didn't answer my question. Why do you like Montell's ranking?

[pin2win]

I like the ranking because thats the ranking he deserves. hopefully his attitude will change because i don't see much fire in him...if you go to the duals you understand how montells body language would portray someone that doesn't care but thats just me i guess

[WildTurkey]

He stands around more than any wrestler Iowa currently has. How he doesnt get more stall calls is beyond me.

[ICAlumni]

He stands around way less than Tsirtsis, Morningstar and Fields and they were all pretty good.

Marion is pretty good also i would say. The thing about Marion is that he hasnt always been this way. He used to be so fast and push the pace.

Alex, Ryan and Matt never were fast or pushed the pace of the match.

Marion needs to score more points... He is so slick when he is not gassed

[castille]

Well, I go to the duals. I was just wondering. I'd like to see him at one, two or three. The way he's wrestling though I'd say seven or eight is about right.

i don't really think the ranking is correct actually. i mean everyone above him has multiple losses too except for maybe Boris and Russell. Plus Montell is coming off back to back years as a finalist and 4th place. WHat have Maple, Sluephon, Mangrum, Steiber ever done at that level? and they all have multiple losses on their records this year too. Some of them bad losses too -Gottel (isu) Henderson (north Carolina) I don't think MM is wrestling that lights out by any means but if you put his resume (this year and past) up next to the ones ahead of him, he's not #7 in the nation.

Plus if Tom and Terry have a hard time lighting a fire under him, he isn't gonna give a S*** about some random ranking that has him 7th. if he even knows about it.
