Yeah. I said I think they have a better shot at advancing than the other lotto teams. I'm not predicting they beat NC State, and like I said it's unclear which brackets feed into the second round of consis so I don't know that they could even get matched up with NC State. Which lotto team do you think advances that furthest?

You might be right.  Perhaps Lehigh, but MIzzo might also be the answer here.

Local Ohio forum reporting that Nic Bouzakis is listed at 125 for potential National Duals lineup for the Buckeyes.

Not sure why this would be listed if it was never a possibility, was always hoping they could squeeze him in.

I think it's definitely Lehigh or Mizzou and it laregely depends on the backside draw.  Arizona St is possibly the weakest (the Larkins are something though).  Little Rock is too top heavy.  Wyoming I feel is the middle of the 5 but far from Lehigh and Mizzou

I dont know.  @andegre sometimes posts here.  Maybe @Jason Bryant @Husker_Du or @Jon_Kozak can fill us in

Here's the quote from the 24/7 forum which is like a desert for wrestling news.

"On yesterday’s episode of the BaschaMania podcast, they discussed the National Duals tournament. Willie Saylor, who was on the seeding committee, mentioned that each participating team submitted probable or available lineups to help inform the committee's approach. He also casually noted that Ohio State listed both Bouzakis and McCrone at 125."

Maybe he meant, Kilkeary...

Pyles just confirmed on FRL that the plan is for Nic to try and go 125

[Truzzcat]

A functioning Nic bouzakis at 125 makes ohio state the second best team in the country from 125-157 imo

That's been the plan since last March. Even Ryan didn't believe it was going to be possible...

I don't know how its possible and if it is how he can function but if he can I 100% think he is a title threat he was unbelievably powerful for a 133.

Nic is a tank with low body fat.  The opposite can happen.  It's a tough nutrition plan with lot's of risk of losing muscle mass.

100% the amount of tissue he has should make pulling water a bit easier though. He is going to need to be on that logan stieber 133 plan.

Between Steiber and Luke Pletcher the Bucks have experience at this.

And it's been known Davino was going 133 since last year. He's had months to try and get his body adjusted to the weight loss.

If he makes it down, I think the super quick guys (Most of the top 125ers) will give him fits, get to his legs at will.

He did throw many 133er around last year, so I'd love to see how this adjusts down at 125. It certainly helps the team regardless.

It would be a salty three with Nic, Davino, and Mendez.
