Mizzou Wrestling fans got a chance to see the Tigers in action for the first time this season at the Hearnes Center at the Black and Gold Scrimmage.
That opportunity came and went quickly, with matches going on one after another side-by-side on two mats.
But we were still able to glean some interesting information from the less than 90 minutes of action. Here are my observations from the scrimmage:
- We got to see three highly touted young freshmen in Jake Crapps (listed at 133lbs), Mack Mauger and Gage Walker compete at 125lbs. Walker stood out from the group, winning his first match against former junior college All-American Luqman Masud 6-1 and then comfortably defeating Mauger in a 13-4 major decision.
