Is it the MAC... No Mizzou, UNI, or CMU of old.

Braeden Davis Wrestlestat's ratings favor Davis.

Penn is favored in two matches and there are 3 or 4 other matches some folks would would considee toss-ups. There is one, maybe two toss-ups if Davis doesn't go at 125. Penn State is a heavy favorite at every other weight. Penn has a better chance to win 4 matches against Iowa than Lehigh does to win two against Penn State.

I think you are correct, but for his Junior year. He dropped back to 170lbs at least for WNO his senior season.

It is Iowa, so that would be par for the course wouldn't it? On the ole Spencer Lee diet?

Is it possible he isn't eligible to compete for the team yet? Was he officially attached and donning the Lock Haven garb at the tournaments?

That should have gone without saying, although thank you for saying it. Sta(l)rocci isn't going to weigh in at any weight other than 174lbs for NCAA Collegiate Folkstyle wrestling.

I know and I know the match could go very different if they meet again. What I meant by it was regarding potential size problems with going Heavyweight.

Ah! To me he is still nearly an unknown at heavyweight. I could see him blowing through this weight and winning a neutral battle with Hendrickson. I could also see him struggling against a guy like Nevills because that would be his second dancing bear in a row (at least) and maybe the weight gets to him a bit - in a tournament setting. I don't think it will. I think he is a rather safe bet to see the semi-finals. I am more concerned about Davison's potential match with Ghadiali than I am about any of Bastida's pre-semi (potential) opponents.

He beat Fernandes last year. I accepted then that if the rumors that he was coming in over 220lbs the Mondays after tournaments were true that he would have very little difficulty being a 235lbs HWT while maintaining his neutral prowess.

Having trouble reading the beginning of this one.

Iowa State looks like it has major potential to overperform their seeds at 125, 141, 149, 157, and 184. I almost put 197 in there, but as of right now I wouldn't even pick him last in a 3rd grade dodgeball tournament. Not after that lifeless effort on Sunday.

I see what you did there... I wouldn't mind that.

Bastida will have earned it if he wins... this is his potential path VS McDermott (Oregon State) VS Trephan (NC State), Nevills(Maryland) VS Davison (Michigan), Ghadiali (Campbell, Catka (Virginia Tech) VS Hendrickson (Air Force), Gordon (Northern Iowa), Griess (Navy), Feldman (the Ohio State), Fernandez (Cornell)

A different weight class, but it was a weight that was less than 165lbs...

I said in a perfect world. Injuries exist, period. Vito is out because of such a thing and has been since that match. As I said... there isn't a soul on this planet that is or could be wrestling NCAA collegiate Folkstyle wrestling this year that would beat a healthy Sta(l)rocci.

Did you miss this part... ...or this part... ?

If preseeds hold to seeds, these are my possibly not-not maybe but probably isn't bias semi-finals and finals 125 SF - Volk over Ramos, DeAugustino over Kaylor F - DeAugustino over Volk 133 SF - Fix over Chlebov, Frost over Orine F - Fix over Frost 141 SF - Echemendia over Lemley, Mendez over Cornella F - Echemendia over Mendez 149 SF - Swiderski over Arrington, Lamer over Parco F - Lamer over Swiderski 157 SF - Lewan over Robb, Shapiro over Gallagher F - Lewan over Shapiro 165 SF - Carr over Ramirez, Amine over Olejnik F - Amine over Carr 174 SF - Griffith over Wittlake, Kharchla over Gaitan F - Griffith over Kharchla 184 SF - Keckeisen over Plott, Foca over Munoz F - Foca over Keckeisen 197 SF - Sloan over Smith, Hidlay over Allred F - Hidlay over Sloan 285 SF - Hendrickson over Fernandes, Davison over Bastida F - Davison over Hendrickson DISCLAIMER: These are not my actual predictions... some are most aren't - those will wait until I see the actual brackets.

I don't have Henson making the semi-finals, if these seeds stay true.

In a perfect world, meaning no injuries - there is zero chance Arnold beats Sta(l)rocci this year at 174lbs in NCAA Collegiate Folkstyle wrestling.

Everyone here doesn't think he will have that success at 157. If you look legitimately what... four posts before yours I also elude to the same thing.

I rescind my original question about PK. He is an Iowa guy. I don't see him not making a go for 157 next season. If, for whatever reason Arnold does go at 174 this year, I think him wrestling 184 is still a no-brainer, then 157 for next season.

Yeah it would be.
