He is registered at 70kg for the BF there was a rumor that the reason James did not wrestle at who's 1 is because miller wanted it to have some huge allowance and now I'm thinking that was a load of barnacles.

The rumor came from an idiot minnow fish. I searched for the receipts but in a shocking twist, he deleted his tweets. I wonder if he does the same ridiculous levels of gaslighting during his day job.

3 former NQ's at 149 and of course Jaxon Joy should be some awesome matches for Bo

Knox vs any of the ohio state guys will be fireworks 

165 feels very wide open and could be another ohio state wrestle off. Watch out for cericho and Laffey though.

Cannon vs Miller could be awesome at 157

Hoping Geog looks healthy at 197, if he is he is a podium level guy imo

Interested to see if Davino can separate from a guy like Unger

High Schoolers cannot be seeded?

Clarion is obviously just another biased anti-PIN operation

Mike Grey sent out email this week listing the Cornell entries, and Ungar and Saunders were not on that list.  Hmm...

Sounds like Bassett is in at 149.

Bassett at 149, Miller at 157, James at 165, Burnett at 125. Kinda furious James and Miller are wrestling here but could not meet at who's 1 but still excited to see them both go. James likely has the easiest time navigating his weight the two ohio state guys will be his toughest matches.

Nice pick-up. Should be a good tournament. Looks like Mendez is wrestling in all-star match tonight.

Do you any info on 125. With Bouzakis wrestling 125 (is he redshirting). Then we have McCrone and Kilkeary. If Bouzakis could handle the weight cut at 125 I would have him in the top 4.

Sounds like clarion is going to sort of be a wrestle off for ohio states 125.

Pseudo wrestle off at 125. McCrone, Bouzakis and Kilkeary have all RS'ed already.

[TylerDurden]

How many times are they going to ask Bouzakis to make 125 this season? 

That seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

From what I've heard/read he's down. I would think he would get plenty of matches. I would have bet the farm he wasn't getting to 125 (and I have a farm).

How big is your farm. Grain farmer? Cattle farmer? Or both?

If he can maintain his strength and his stamina, he could win it all. If he can't maintain both of those maybe top 6. He might have to pace his self and stay in 3rd gear instead of balls to the walls 5th gear.

I was holding out hope all summer Nic was able to get down to 125. 1-for the team and 2- I love watching him scrap. 
 

Sounds like he’s at least giving it s shot. If he can maintain it all season I believe this propels Ohio St to #2. The only “weak” spot would be 165 where Gallagher is ranked outside the top 10. If he stays healthy, he can AA.
Excited to watch the Buckeyes and stud high schoolers get after it tomorrow.

Melvin is going to be one of my favorite college wrestlers to follow once he gets there. I've not been a big fan of the Bassett family (just not the type I typically root for) but Miller is a dude I hope takes the college world by storm out of the gates.

Nic Bouzakis @ 125... I don't know how he's going to handle this weight for the ENTIRE season.

Do anyone think that the coaching staff is going to put him on a "pitch count' as far as weigh-ins are concerned?

(Thinking what Princeton's Glory did... as well as Luke Stanich in his freshman year for LEHIGH.)

WE just made a deal with China. They will buy 480 million bushels this year. They will be buying the minimum of 1 billion bushels every year for the next 3 years. Will probably buy over the minimum.
