And if the suspension gets withdrawn, there is a Paniro Johnson thrown into the equation - crazy depth for Cyclones at the lower weights.  Sounds like Perryman vs Terukina is expected to be somewhat close as well

No idea when its happening, but I'm very interested in McGonagle vs Crookham in the Lehigh room

Curious about what a "wrestle-off" means.  What does the winner get?  A starting spot?  For how long?  How does the starting spot ever change, barring injury or other unforeseen event?  Does the team that has a wrestle-off hold challenge matches before each match?

So, not really a wrestle-off, is it?

I hope we see Trumble - Hidlay.

Trumble - Trephan would also be acceptable.

Hell, a Trumble-Trephan, Hidlay-Horne mini-tournament (WvW, LvL) would be badass.

Depends on the school.  Different schools different procedures.

Ohio State makes a pretty big deal with their wrestle-offs. I.E. they sell tickets, stream it, and basically treat it as a dual meet.

 

With that said, I think the biggest matchup is ay 107 between Geog and Hoffman. I'd like to see Hoffman give it one more go being a former AA and such a solid piece to this team for so long; but I always cheer a little harder for any fellow St. Ed's alum and I think Geog has a bright future.

So, there's a school that uses a pre-season wrestle-off, to do what, exactly?  Can you give an example of a school's procedure?  I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around a process that takes the choice of starter away from the coaching staff.

I think some coaches, in some situations, use the wrestle-off as a consideration, not necessarily a deciding factor, but a consideration.  It was said that the reason Joe Smith wrestled the post season instead of Chandler Rogers was that he won the wrestle-off.

I think you have the answer to the actual reason right in there...

As a coaching staff, why would you not consider the head to head results of your top two guys when deciding a starter?

Familiarity. As a coaching staff you know which is the better wrestler I imagine...
