I think you guys are missing the point!!!! To call Grater and Eirsman "gutless" for not bumping up to wrestle Taplin is outrageous. Taplin is without a doubt a stud, but so are Grater and Eirsman. They have both won national titles, so I don't think it is necessary for Grater to bump up two weight classes or Eirsman to bump up one weight class just to wrestl another good kid from Kansas!!
