Mark,

Simmons was the absolute easiest decision #1 seed. Also the #4 seed that won was a 2x Fargo AA. Anyone that knows Mike Medina knows him to be of the highest character. He basically never makes a big deal out of seeds. When he speaks up like he did in that meeting, the other coaches should have known there was something to it. I applaud Coach Carroll for standing by him and understanding that Simmons was the obvious top seed at 120. Notably the two coaches in favor of seeding that weight correctly were Divison I wrestlers themselves.
