Elevator Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Swisher from Penn at 149 is interesting and if he makes a run at NCAA's it would be potentially the biggest darkhorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hoping DJ McGee from GMU can make some noise. now these guys all gotta qualify first.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... and what does "make noise" at the NCAA mean? Darkhorse means a finish way above your ranking. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 6 minutes ago, Idaho said: Yeah... and what does "make noise" at the NCAA mean? Darkhorse means a finish way above your ranking. Amen. In the four years since we expanded to seeding all 33 there have been three #26 seeds to AA (a huge outlier). 2019 - Dakota Greer OK ST 184 finished 7th. 2021 - Jackson Turley RUT 174 finished 8th. 2021 - Jake Woodley OK 197 finished 6th. So the question is which #26 seed will AA this year? Or if you like, seeds 16 - 33 have less than a 10% chance of AAing. So, who will AA from the bottom half of seeds? 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11986 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) yep Turley made noise in 2021 with that 8th place finish from a 26 seed, as did fellow Virginian KIllian Cardinale with a 7th place finish that same year off a 17 seed (ok less noise) and an 8th place finish last year from a 28 seed.

Wrestleknownothing Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Dark Horse HOF Wyatt "Chip and a Chair" Sheets - After an injury riddled season, comes in as the 33 seed at 157 in 2021 only after another wrestler had to withdraw (he was essentially the 34 seed), and takes 8th for a 25 slot improvement. Yahya "Yeah Yeah" Thomas - Also in 2021, Thomas entered 149 as the 25 seed after a shaky B1G tournie, only to catch a heater and finish 3rd for a 22 slot jump. Killian "So Nice I Will Do It Twice" Cardinale - There was something in the water in 2021. Cardinale entered that tournament as the 17 seed, but rallied to finish 7th at 125. Then, 2023 Cardinale told 2021 Cardinale to hold his beer. After having to take a med forfeit and an inj default at the ACC tournie, he snuck in as the 28 seed, before making the podium in 8th place.

In his case they seeded to 12, but regardless going from unseeded to first is pretty damn impressive. Maybe the HOF needs to add a wing.
