It could legimately be a final for all but one other tournament - NCAAs.

This weekend will let us know where Shapiro is. I feel he’s the most talented guy skill wise at the weight and that includes Levi. His downside in my opinion is he may not be the strongest. 
 

Andonian will be a nice test (if he stays off his back he should win)but the big test would be if he sees Robb a big strong 157

Do we need a separate 1st Round thread?  This things getting long and haven't even started.

Thompson wrestles very close matches - it is just his style.  Griffith has yet to be tested by a full-sized 174lber, which Thompson is ( he has been wrestling 182 / 195 for the better part of a few years yeah?).

Edit: Thompson is right in that same tier of class as Arnold, Welsh, Barr, etc.

11 months ago he was in Ironman finals up at 190. The OkState cut never ceases to amaze.

That's what we need, another CKLV thread. One was enough. Three must be better...

Here are my picks

125- Volk over Kaylor

133- Orine over Bouzakis

141- McNeil over Hardy

149- Lovett over Henson

157- Shapiro over Lewan (my favorite bracket I wish it were a Teemer v Shapiro final but hopefully a semi can happen which I see as a coinflip)

165- Carr over Amine

174- Kharchla over Griffith

184- Keckeisen over Foca

197- Hidlay over Cardenas

HWT- Davison over Fernandes 

[Idaho]

Chlebove looked good in round 1 

[ionel]

Flo sucks!  Have I mentioned that before?

What is your 197lb final?  These two meet in the semis (potentiallly).

Okejnik looked not good in Round 1.

I'm streaming through the fire stick on the Flo app and it's going great.... so far.

Ventresca getting beat by Mendez Cal Poly. Not looking good this year...injury? 

[ionel]

I'm seeing fine on TV thru Roku but their UX between 3 to 4 different platforms is bad, totally different and they won't update. 

[nhs67]

I forgot how tough Molton was.  Giving Volk all he can handle.

[Idaho]

Kaylor looking good round 1.... Whisenhunt with the pin ....  GO OSUW BEAVS!

Brewster the ASU backup, but that's okay. Ungar match should be good. Man Ventresca is struggling.

NC State backup also looked good upsetting the 11 seed.

Good catch. Top half is boring. Hidlay over Smith

[Idaho]

Tallmdge is Tall.... and he is given that sprat of a wrestler Spratley a tough go. 

[Idaho]

Knox giving Bouzakis a match.... Didn't expect Romney to be up 6-2 on Drury.  

[Hammerlock3]

i think bouzakis and chittum are gonna struggle similarly. Relied to much on physicality in high school...

He was wrestling 182 for the season in Illinois after wrestling 170 a few months before that. I think he wrestled up a weight for Ironman. He looked good sized at 174 in his match earlier in the year but not massive by any means.

Tyler Knox of Stanford with the major over Nic Bouzakis

 

first upset of the day
