Truzzcat Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Illinois should have a shot at 5-6 guys in blood round range and I think could have 3-4 AA's 1

Nebraska and Michigan I think should both definitely be ahead of rutgers and Id argue Illinois as well. 1

Soldano AA is ambitious I hate to say someone got lucky to AA but Turley did it During the condensed season and has really not looked like an AA type of guy since Poz Could AA I am not sure I would bet on it though They will definitely be a better Dual team than Tournament team in my opinion

feet2back Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 Illinois should be worried about Maryland passing them up and not getting blasted by Michigan State again this year

Illinois - Rutgers would be close. A lot of tight matches. 125 - not sure if the transfer from ISU is coming now? 133 - Lucas Byrd 141- Danny Pucino 149- Kannon Webster 157- Braedon Scoles 165- Chris Moore 174- Danny Braunagel 184- Edmond Ruth 197- Zach Braunagel 285- Luke Luffman i would favor Illinois at 149, 165, 184. Rutgers at 125 and probably 285. The rest are toss ups. 1

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted May 9 Posted May 9 15 hours ago, Wrestleknownothing said: Bat signal for @ILLINIWrestlingBlog As an impartial and respected wrestling journalist, I have to say that ILLINOIS is the team to beat next year. Due to a disquieting number of injuries (Lucas Byrd, Luke Luffman, Joe Roberts, Isiah Pettigrew, etc.), Olympic redshirts (both Brawlnagels) and Freshman redshirts (Kannon Webster, Braeden Scoles), the school had a poor dual year. Even so, some on this board would probably say, unfairly, that I was obnoxious about their potential. Well, just you wait. Get those folks back, except Joe Roberts, who unfortunately has medically retired due to concussions, and fill that spot with Webster or Scoles, and SHAM-WOW! Still need to shore up 125, but the rest of the lineup will be angry dog tough. As for the original post, I see the Big Ten as tougher, top to bottom, than at any time I can remember in the last 30 years. The B1G has 13 quality teams, and I expect evil Northwestern will be back in the mix eventually. Michigan State is teetering on the edge because of the transfer portal. I think the Spartans might end up with a crap dual record, but that's just because the conference is so tough. So, I'm going to say 13, worst case 12, very quality teams. Can't ever remember that being the case.
