Jackbite, you're sort of a dumbass for making that comment.

Caldwell is a very humble, nice kid with a great attitude. He's also quite likely the most athletic, exciting wrestler in the tournament. I'll tell you one thing, he won't go all weak in the knees over facing Metcalf. He'll take it to him and is capable of the upset ... even if he crashes and burns trying -- one thing is certain, it won't be boring.

The reason you are reminded of Metcalf, you are the only one to beat him in college.

Great attitude from Caldwell. He's well aware of Metcalf's cult following and he has a humble, focused, and thankful attitude. Can't wait to see more of his matches.

Darrion Caldwell on semis and metcalf

Its hard for Darrion Caldwell to escape the "m" word. He hears about Metcalf from everybody including his girlfriend. It doesnt bother him only motivates him.
