U20 bracket reactions

[Truzzcat]

Worst draws are probably Dee's and stanich

Stanich gets Toprak right off the scale which is likely the second toughest guy at his weight will be a huge test for Stanich

Dee has to go through all the guys just to make the finals Novuruzov,Khaniev,Wagin

Henckel got an incredible draw. Youseffi,Begenjov,Saidulov on the other side. He does have amit on his side but I think that is the most winnable match for him of the big 3.

Knox gets ukraine which should not be an issue but then he gets Atainov who was Asian Silver and I think is quite tough. If he gets past him he will likely have Zangaladze. Not a good draw but he is opposite Sakamoto and Baghirov which I think is good for him.

That's just to make the semis!

7 out of 10 USA entries are all in the upper brackets... not that it mean anything here (depending who IS in that side of the bracket, along with our guys.)

I like Stanich getting Toprak off the scales rather than semi-finals.  I know a loss in the semis guarantees a medal match, but he has a better chance to gas Toprak out off the scales.

If Dee wins, we will cumulatively all have to agree that "he is him" is a true statement.

I haven't been willing to, but were he to do that, I think he us a comfortable Tier 3 in NCAAs (nobody is Tier 2 and Monster Mitch is Tier 1), with Caliendo, Blaze, etc.

Wrestling will start tomorrow morning @ 3am (ah, yep... at 3 #@$&$!am in the morning!)

We're starting off w/70, 74, 97, & 125Kg wt. classes  first.

They're splitting the qualifier rnd w/ 4 wt. classes each day until the last two wts (61 & 86Kg) on Tuesday... finishing off w/ the last medal round on Wednesday.

Mrs ScottishSteel is making me sleep in the guest bedroom with that early of an alarm

Rademacher likely gets Iran in the quarters - that's likely the "gold medal" match of the weight

I'm committed to Sunday; but beer league softball finals on Monday night so I won't join you then.

[D3 for LU]

Sunday is the only chance that I have to watch from the start @ 3am.

On Monday, on thru the rest of the week... I'll watch until I have to leave for work (@ 6am.)

(I get up at 4:10am M-F for work.)

At work, I'll have to check out the results on the sly.
