Trent, Yonger

Id swap Nagao for daton and maybe Elam for glazier but otherwise awesome list.

I think Keegan/MM winning that weight would outdo him or Trent beating brooks.

125 | (22) Brayden Palmer 133 | (23) Marlon Yarbrough 141 | (18) Cole Matthews 149 | (26) Jaden Abas 157 | (24) Chase Saldate 165 | (21) Caleb Fish 174 | (23) Luca Augustine 184 | (18) Ryder rogotzke 197 | (21) Mac Stout 285 | (21) Dayton Pitzer

I'll go bailey over crookham in the quarters and saldate over lewan and robb

what pct will carter be in wrestlestat pick ems? o/u 97%

125 R1: Kaylor vs Noto: both AA's Palmer vs Flynn: Palmer right off the scale is likely not gonna be at his best but I think hes a dark horse if he can manage his weight. Caleb smith vs The beard: not much to say just good match. 125 R2: Davis vs Ungar: I think ungar beats Peterson again, having watched a good bit of ungar hes rather boring on his feet but hes really good with double unders where we've seen Davis struggle a tad although it seemed patched up at big10's, and he has some nasty tilts. Figs vs Mckee: seems like Mckee is destined to lose r1 or r2 and then wrestle all the way back. Figs is by no means lighting the world on fire with his wins but hes been winning since his early season slump. 133 R1: Marlon Yarbrough vs nagao: Yarbrough is really 14-4 this year he had 3mff losses one of those losses should have been a win against Latona in the acc semis he also has a previous win over Latona earlier in the year and an 8-7 loss to ragusin. He did get teched by mason leiphart who is pretty prolific from top much like nagao so that bottom deficiency may haunt him here but I think it could be a potential upset. Nasir Bailey vs Kade Moore: kade did not look good at big 12's but maybe hes shaking the rust off he was looking great after he stuck Latona and narrowly lost to Vito. Picking Bailey but exciting one. 133 R2: Bouzakis vs fix: This kinda feels like a terrible matchup for Nic. Fix is as stingy as they come but more than likely Nic will just fire and I think that could lead to some easy points for fix, but Nic has that man strength so hes always exciting. Latona vs Ragusin: two very long boys. Ragusin is in much better form right now but Latona is a 2x AA so he knows how to get it done at NCAA's Nagao vs Bailey: Probably the least talked about TF this year. Bailey is super quick to legs and has great tilts on top (ask Evan frost) This may be my favorite r2 matchup in general going to be a lot of scrambles, I like Bailey to take it given nagaos slight lack of baseline defense this season. 141 R1: Brock hardy vs vince corbella: don't really expect Vince to wrestle he looked really hurt at conferences but purely based off name value a cool match Jordan Titus vs tom crook: just really enjoy watching both of these guys.. don't shoot a head inside single on Titus 141 R2: Beau vs Cole Matthews: Cole had this match about as close to won last year at NCAA's as you can without winning. Neither guy is going to take a leg attack more than likely so it feels destined for rideouts. Hardy vs Lemley: I mean both matches were sick and the series is 1-1 Jack vs Titus: 149 R1: Rathjen vs Williams: missed this one in the dual, Williams defaulted to Watters hope hes healthy but I think he may be a little soft to wrestle rathjen for 7 Abas vs Kasak: very much expect kasak to win this pretty easily but abas did once take Yianni to the brink 149 R2: Arrington vs Demilio: Arrington is in much better form but they did split at CKLV 157 R1: Lewan vs Saldate: Battle of the two guys that can stop Levi from majoring them DJ Mcgee vs Brayton lee: I think Mcgee is really underrated just being a MAC kid, could see him making some noise in this tournament Peyten keller vs Johnny lovett: Mac on Mac crime in r1 Mauller vs Travis: Teague took this one in the dual and they are high school teammates I believe, kinda leaning Mauller in the rematch 157 R2: Haines vs Mauller: Mauller punishes extended shots, unfortunately for him I don't know if anyone finishes better than Levi Lewan vs Robb: I think these guys both have at least two wins against each other in their careers, Lewan seems in better form but id like to hope we see CKLV Robb Andonian vs Downey: I don't really think Andonian is fully healthy, but the scrambles in this match could be absolutely insane Meyer vs Chittum: Third times the charm, hopefully we actually get to see it. I am about as biased towards Meyer as it gets so ill be picking him but his gas tank is a bit of a concern and chittum will be in his face for 7 165 R1: N/A 165 R2: Hall vs Antrell Taylor: Hall seems to have a lot of variance in his results but at his best he should AA at this weight. Taylor impressed me a lot at junior trials and most of this year. Hes super strong despite likely being an actual 157lber and holds really good position should be fun Olejnik vs Amine: Amine is another guy that just knows how to get it done at NCAA's going purely of this years results I favor olejnik pretty heavily 174 R1: N/A 174 R2: PK vs Conigliaro: I would have been more excited for this match had Conigliaro not just lost twice to benny baker 184 R1: N/A 184 R2: Sam wolf vs Bennet berge: Two guys that have really made big jumps this year Chris foca vs Dustin Plott: I thought Foca had a chance to win this weight when brooks and Trent bumped up this year, he has since disappointed me, but at his best I think he can go with Plott salazar vs Rogotzke: If Rogotzke can reach back and chin whip Salazar then he can do it to anyone 197 R1: Surber vs Deprez: This match is probably not actually all that exciting just to contrasts of styles 197 R2: Stephen B vs Stephen L: Buchannen was a consensus finalist coming into the season, he has not really looked the part this year (rumors hes dinged up) I had never heard of Stephen little until he made the u20 world team, but man is he good Jacob Cardenas vs Rocky Elam: bit of a rocky season for... Rocky. The match in the dual was a fairly decisive win for Rocky, but this feels like one Rocky probably needs to get on the podium and hes done that his first 3 years so I think he finds a way Jaxon smith vs lou deprez: this feels like a match with smith can hit a duck or two and I'm here for it 285 R1: Nash vs Schultz: this one is for the boys that miss the old heavies, gonna be a lot of beef and a lot of pushing 285 R2: Feldman vs Trephan: the Feldman that lost to trephan early in the season seems far gone, I like him to get that win back here Nathan Taylor vs Dayton pitzer: I have Pitzer getting by Doucet and this is a match he won earlier this season so 21 seed pitzer in the quarters? Ghadali vs Davison: This match should be pretty high output, two guys that can really move.

aside for team points I don't know that either guy cares about AA'ing at this point its natty or bust. Not to argue the seed makes sense it absolutely does not but ultimately both guys are natty champs and have age level world medals so I doubt either care all that much.

buchannen brooks in the quarters is a cool match.. probably will not be close but 1,2 seed coming into the season

If I recall correctly, the rumor mill was that spencer was beating Thomas in the room and that was a big reason he ended up going to NLWC and then became an enormous Iowa hater overnight. It was a rumor so I have no idea if there is any truth to it and he also could've progressed after getting to NLWC, but I think spencer had a good shot if nothing else.

I did not get the impression that it still bothers him but I'm sure it would be a lot for any 12–18-year-old. Obviously, it did not bother him enough to make him quit. It seemed like they were trying to illustrate the parallels between the two of them going into their first and second meetings in high school which is why I think he mentioned it.

I took it more of him expressing about how he's been under a microscope since he was in elementary school with this expectation that he had to be the most dominant wrestler ever. Coupling that with his injuries but still the general perception remaining the same I'm sure it gets very frustrating.

jeez these hold backs are getting insane... 15 in 8th grade??

I know Ben has discussed this before when asked why his club kids seem to develop later. Para phrasing but it was something along the lines of hes not coaching kids to be the best 8th grader in the country he wants them to constantly be developing new skills and a lot of times to do that you're going to have worse results before you ultimately master those skills and the better results will follow.

I was just thinking about Nc states team, they're definitely a strong competitor for the second slot at NCAA's but had they wrestled singleton at 174 and Trumble at heavy I think they would have almost been a lock. A lot of singleton and Trumble's success have been in freestyle but given singleton beat Gabe Arnold twice at junior trials and Trumbles recent success on the freestyle seen as well as winning the scuffle relatively easily I have to imagine they could have potentially had two additional AA's at two of their weakest weights this year.

Anyone know who Lilledahl lost to and the score? was interested in his results.

He did not look great against Justin McCoy needed a late takedown but that could just be because they've wrestled so many times.

maybe head-to-head but in a tournament setting I think the floors of those guys aside from ridge are just much lower even at 125 Davis has just been far more consistent.

NC state is the only team I think you can strongly argue may be better. I think Orine and Arrington are a good bit more likely to High AA than Nagao and Kasak. Davis and Camacho I would say is a wash I like Camacho's upside but hard to ignore that skid mid-season. Beau's floor is like 3 unless he skids into hardy in the Consi semis but more than likely he's in the finals and I think jacks ceiling is probably 5. Penn state has a legit shot at 2 champs though whereas Nc states best shot is Camacho, but he could also fail to AA.

that i've not seen mentioned Nagao vs vito Andonian vs Meyer 3 Parco vs Gomez Ramirez vs Mitchell Keck vs Bernie 6? Watters vs Kasak swiderski vs kasak Jacori vs Haines figs vs stanich Bailey vs nagao Hardy vs Beau 3 Brayden Thompson vs welsh Edmond ruth vs Carter

just paid

125: #1 seed - Davis; champ: Camacho 133: #1 seed - Crookham; champ: Crookham 141: #1 seed - Mendez; champ: Mendez 149: #1 seed - Lovett; champ: Gomez 157: #1 seed - Haines; champ: Haines 165: #1 seed - KOT; champ: KOT 174: #1 seed - Lewis; champ: Carter 184: #1 seed - Keck; champ: Keck 197: #1 seed - Trent; champ: Trent HWT: #1 seed - Yonger; champ: Wyatt PSU 9 AA's one of bernie,davis,Nagao loses in blood round

purely based on the seeding matrix without intervention Yonger should be 1 same instance for Trent at 197 however I think intervention is more warranted there.

I did not mean that in an attempt to discredit the university. It's one of the best schools in PA I was just saying being so close to the Bethlehem area and jersey + having an RTC gives them resources that a lot of smaller schools do not have which keeps them in the hunt for these bigger recruits. More recently chance Marsteller's club has really risen to prominence and they are also right out of that area.
