Prime to make a run

[Lunaticfringe]

What lower seeded guys are in a good spot?

 

As a Gopher fan, Jore Volk as a 6 is in a place to do some damage. Bouzakis as a 3 if seeds hold, has to hold his weight and Ventresca as a 2 lost to him already. Couldn’t ask for a better spot. Who else who’s seeded lower has beaten guys they might be lined up to wrestle who are higher seeds?

Ty Watters at 11. He’s going to win 1st round then knock of #6 seed Swisher in the R16 then battle Shapiro in the 1/4

[Antitroll2828]

Also Tyler Klinsky is going to AA as the 11 seed at 125. He’s going to beat Dean Peterson in the Blood Round to give Rider their yearly AA that most of the country never heard of

Ayala is going to make a run.  Third time's the charm and he upsets blaze en route to his third NCAA final.

In order of weight class

Volk

Jax

Cornella, but honestly gable porter as his first match is not given. Porter as a 27 seed is wild. Cornella run also depends on hardy Davis match up, which no one is discussing for some reason. As Davis was up big on hardy before getting pinned.

Tyus

Watters

Mm

Steed

Isaac Dean?

Little

Feldman

I'm not super confident in several of them but if things go there way then they could break out

Not saying it’s going to happen but Fishback could surprise. Got the 12 seed. Would have Brock Man in the second round who he lost a close one to during the year, then Conway in the quarters, then Rocco in the semis who he almost had beat during the year….. don’t think it’s going to happen, but there’s a path

I love when Rider gets their yearly AA; always my highlight of the NCAA tournament.

Kannon Webster to the finals

[cl415]

I like Aden Valencia‘s potential path. Block is another guy at 149 who I think has a path. His potential matchup with Joy is an interesting one.
 

Provo has some tough guys every round but I think he could make a semis run.

Kannon has the potential to be a big problem for everyone else

LJ Araujo, 165 freshman from Nebraska, gets overlooked a little because of all the super freshmen this year, but this guy is legitimately one of the elite riders in the NCAA.  Forcing 5th year seniors to pick neutral and all that.  Having everyone spot you a point or two is a HUGE advantage in tight tournament matches.

I had my eye on his draw for the pick em contests but he got a tough draw in my opinion.

Volk should focus on winning his first match against a guy he lost to earlier this year.

I know he’s the defending champ but Robinson has to like his spot at the 12, opposite of both guys he’s lost to multiple times this year, and on the same side as Spratley who he’s beaten.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see Cornella in the finals from the 6.

I like Lachlan McNeil at the 11.  Maybe David Evans at the 9, if he can get past Swiderski can he get that former teammate strategy against SVN?  Same with Facundo at the 8 at 174?

Agree with Fishback possibly making the semis and getting the rematch with Rocco.

Could see Merrill at the 7 getting revenge on Elam.

Supposedly Carroll was sick at B12’s and now he’s the 18.  Him vs Trumble could be interesting, and if he can get past that he could make the finals (he did major Ghadiali this year).

Wow.  McNeil does have a path. That quarter bracket is nice for him
