Flo’s projections are interesting for 149-174. All seem plausible but it’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. They have Henson winning 149. He’ll have to take out Parco in the semis. They have very similar styles and it’ll be a great match

I don't have Henson making the semi-finals, if these seeds stay true.

[nhs67]

If preseeds hold to seeds, these are my possibly not-not maybe but probably isn't bias semi-finals and finals

125
SF - Volk over Ramos, DeAugustino over Kaylor
F - DeAugustino over Volk

133
SF - Fix over Chlebov, Frost over Orine
F - Fix over Frost

141
SF - Echemendia over Lemley, Mendez over Cornella
F - Echemendia over Mendez

149
SF - Swiderski over Arrington, Lamer over Parco
F - Lamer over Swiderski

157
SF - Lewan over Robb, Shapiro over Gallagher
F - Lewan over Shapiro

165
SF - Carr over Ramirez, Amine over Olejnik
F - Amine over Carr

174
SF - Griffith over Wittlake, Kharchla over Gaitan
F - Griffith over Kharchla

184
SF - Keckeisen over Plott, Foca over Munoz
F - Foca over Keckeisen

197
SF - Sloan over Smith, Hidlay over Allred
F - Hidlay over Sloan

285
SF - Hendrickson over Fernandes, Davison over Bastida
F - Davison over Hendrickson

DISCLAIMER: These are not my actual predictions... some are most aren't - those will wait until I see the actual brackets.

One of two left in that number one recruiting class of 2019...

I hope his eligibility is perpetual...

Uh oh Schultzy is protecting his seed again.

Very concerned for Hendrickson/Davison. While Davison is definitely a 15-25% to make NCAA finals type, if Hendrickson is as banged up as we all think then he is going to have a not-so-fun weekend and he may not even make it to the finals. And if he is healthier than we think then what does that say about Kerk?

Curious to see how Bastida performs with a full slate of dancing bears. Historically, and especially recently, successful undersized heavies are prolific offensive machines and that is certainly not how anyone would categorize Bastida. But I also would not be surprised to see him run through the bracket. He will be a bad matchup throughout the course of the season and that theme begins this weekend.

Lamar over Henson ? That’s a bold pick

Based on possibly not-not maybe but probably not bias not-actual prediction predictions, I've got Fauxbun paying back his debts, Ferraris working out at Iowa and BIden turning the economy around...oh and Munoz winning it at 184. 

[TNwrestling]

I'd be shocked if Chittum and Blaze don't wrestle above their seeds at 57

Bastida will have earned it if he wins... this is his potential path

VS McDermott (Oregon State)
VS Trephan (NC State), Nevills(Maryland)
VS Davison (Michigan), Ghadiali (Campbell, Catka (Virginia Tech)
VS Hendrickson (Air Force), Gordon (Northern Iowa), Griess (Navy), Feldman (the Ohio State), Fernandez (Cornell)

I see what you did there...

I wouldn't mind that.

Interested top see this since some wrote him off at HWT due to the bump up.

Iowa State looks like it has major potential to overperform their seeds at 125, 141, 149, 157, and 184.

I almost put 197 in there, but as of right now I wouldn't even pick him last in a 3rd grade dodgeball tournament.  Not after that lifeless effort on Sunday.

He beat Fernandes last year.  I accepted then that if the rumors that he was coming in over 220lbs the Mondays after tournaments were true that he would have very little difficulty being a 235lbs HWT while maintaining his neutral prowess.

Ah!

To me he is still nearly an unknown at heavyweight.

I could see him blowing through this weight and winning a neutral battle with Hendrickson.

I could also see him struggling against a guy like Nevills because that would be his second dancing bear in a row (at least) and maybe the weight gets to him a bit - in a tournament setting.  I don't think it will.  I think he is a rather safe bet to see the semi-finals.  I am more concerned about Davison's potential match with Ghadiali than I am about any of Bastida's pre-semi (potential) opponents.

Is Hendrickson healthy?

Fernandes was nursing an injury that took him out of the rest of the season (hip surgery afterwards).

Agree...I think Younger than Dave Bastista is going to have a good run this season. He looked a decent size in the dual.... my guestimation would be in the 235 range, but I never worked at the fair guessing weights. He also looked in pretty good shape.

I know and I know the match could go very different if they meet again.  What I meant by it was regarding potential size problems with going Heavyweight.

Either Hendrickson is hurt or Kerk finally took The Leap. We will find out in a few days.

There’s some hammers he’ll have to beat to get to the semis but so far, he’s looking dominant and improved over last year’s true freshman performance. 
 

Andonian catches Shapiro early. That oughta be interesting if Shapiro lives up to the hype. VT and Cornell have a dual too so these guys might wrestle at least 3 times this year
