Jimmy Cinnabon Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 As a dedicated Penn State fan I am very in tune with the Nittany Lions. Here are my official PRE-BIG 10 predictions for NCAAs. My predictions likely will change after BIG 10s. 125 - Steen/Vespa. DNQ. The Curse of Suriano continues for Penn State for the foreseeable future. It may take another Bo to break it. 133 - RBY, champ. He takes out Fix for the third time in the finals. He's looking healthy, almost bored. Even a prime Desanto could not stop him now. 141 - Bartlett, 5th place. Hard to believe he only has one loss, but his lack of offensive production will cost him against guys like Woods and Sasso. 149 - SVN, 7th place. I am more positive on SVN as of late. He still can struggle on bottom with elite guys and I find his offense still to be a little too straight on. Low AA seems like best case scenario for him. 157 - Haines, 3rd. Haines is looking great but I think he can't beat the 5th and 6th year seniors like AOC who are just too strong and experienced. I think he is a multiple time NCAA champ in his young career though. 165 - Facundo, 5th. I think he's better than Barlett but 165 is just a minefield. I think he will benefit from another year of strength and development. I see him as a 2x champ. 174 - Starocci, 1st. It won't be pretty but I don't see anyone at 174 taking him out. 184 - Brooks, 2nd. Probably my most controversial pick. I think Hidlay takes him out in the finals. 197 - Dean, 2nd. In a shock, Warner bests him in the finals and gets sweet, sweet revenge. HWT - Kerk, 1st. I think he figures out his pacing and takes out Parris in the finals with a smart, controlled match. Penn State wins the team title going away. Iowa takes 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it'll happen but for fans sake regarding Penn state. 125 No Aa 133 Rby 2nd 141 no AA 149 no AA 157 Haynes 7th 165 No AA 174 starocii gets beat by Lewis in semis. Finishes 4th 184 Brooks loses to Coleman in semis finishes 4th 197 dean stumbles. Finishes 4th Heavy. Kerk gets beat in semis by Schultz or cass. Could this debunk Penn state from title? Not saying this is going to happen. But its possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) That is possible, although I feel like that's close to a worst case scenario, barring injuries. If that happened + Iowa gets champs with Spencer, Woods and Cass, and AA from Teske, Murin, Siebrecht and Kennedy I think they would take 1st.

SocraTease Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 "Bartlett, 5th place. Hard to believe he only has one loss, but his lack of offensive production will cost him against guys like Woods and Sasso." If Bartlett loses to Sasso, one of the two has to move up or down a weight. Obviously, Sasso is ducking Bartlett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Callo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I think PSU will end up with 9 AA’s - 3 Champs (RBY, Starocci & Brooks) and 2 2nd’s (Brooks & Kerk) and the new kids will place 3-6 ( Bartlett, SVN, Haines & Facundo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa is likely to get all 10 guys to the NCAAs whereas Nebraska is unlikely to qualify at heavy and will have a tough time qualifying all of 133, 149, and 165.
