The poetic justice is that Minny is seeded in the same quarter as tOSU, so there is that to look forward to.

Really curious what schools will field entire lineups that early. Cornell being down nearly half their starters is a bummer. Will Michigan and Iowa have their full line-ups? How many transfers are starting, total (first year)? How many of those need to wait until the 2nd Semester? Schools that could be without 'starters' to start the gate: Iowa - 125 Peterson, 141 Bailey, 157 Williams, 197 Endene Mizzou - 165 Mayfield, 197 Bates Illinois - 125 Moore, 149 Gioffre, 197 Lautt Little Rock - 149 Herman Northern Iowa - 149 Rathjen Cornell - 125 Diakomihalis, 133 Ungar, 141 Cornella, 149 Fernandez Oklahoma State - 133 Figueroa, 149 Swiderski, 174 Facundo, 184 Ryder NC State - 133 Redding, Brophy 197 Ohio State - 149 Stiles, 184 Fishback Virginia Tech - 157 Miller, 174 Desiante, 184 Bullock Minnesota - 125 Volk, 133 Cannon Wyoming - 125 Douglass, 133 Phelps, 285 Carroll Michigan - 125 Sotello, 149 McNeil, 285 Ghadiali Arizona State - 197 Hawkes, 285 Szuba Lehigh - ** Nebraska - 149 Lamer, 285 Ferrari Lehigh is the only one without a first year transfer in, FWIW. That said, until I see Crookham take the mat, I will always question it at an early season tournament.

Oh, it doesn't actually bother me. I am trying to stir the pot because the emojis are typically towards the same three or four folks.

- Zach Redding, 133, NC State (Iowa State) - Aaron Faison, 165, NC State - Don Cates, 184, NC State - Sonny Sasso, 197, VTech - Konnor Doucet, 285, Oklahoma State - Kelvin Griffin, 149, Lehigh - Hunter Catka, 285, Rutgers (VTech) - Hayden Walters, 197, Michigan - Brook Byers, 197, Stanford - Carter Schubert, 174, Oklahoma (Cal Baptist) - Brian Soldano, 184, Oklahoma (Rutgers) - Gavin Nelson, 197, Minnesota - Caleb Rathjen, 149, Northern Iowa (Iowa) - Cael Rahnavardi, 157, Northern Iowa - John Gunderson, 197, Northern Iowa These are just using the Top 15 from Wrestlestat. All of these guys were backups last season.

Make the bet fair for the sake of us rational folks. Rash has said 0x champ and 2x AA. What is your pick, TN? If neither are achieved, then perhaps both of you send 250 each to Brain's Bud Heavy Fund?

Only poop-emoji-ing stuff that they seem is asinine (which most of the time actually isn't), isn't keeping anybody in check.

Just s(h)itting along with her peers there, I see? Amongst like company?

I think against someone like Blaze, who might very well have the best defense of any 65 KG in the field, even with giving up size advantage, that Sujeet might get exposed - if he cannot utilize his size and length advantage. I am curious if Sujeet will have a speed advantage on Blaze, as well.

I was leaning 6.5, myself. If we're rounding to the nearest whole number, that makes it a Sevenhead... nearly an Eight-ball on principal.

Do it. We'll get all the fun ones out the gate. Edit: Specifically we would settle the debate for OSU once and for all. Oregon State would show up and displace another random team... let's say... Wyoming... and Iowa State would also show up and displace... let's say... LRA. Oregon State VS Ohio State, winner getting Oklahoma State. The only two duals we actually need.

Dineen is a clutch one. Beat Endene at U23s, I believe?

Lol at @lisa morales liking the $HlT emoji for everything in every thread Edit: For posterity purposes:

It's today, right?

No.

I follow your logic, I just don't agree with not giving Minnesota the credit they deserve. They used last years results to send the invites out. Now you ignore them for seeding purposes? Now make it make sense that Iowa State was not invited, but LR or Wyoming were - all respects due.

Minny, who tied Ohio State at Natties and beat them in a Dual H2H does not get seeded above them?

I also went Minny over tOSU. Minny won the dual last year: https://www.wrestlestat.com/event/86879/minnesota-ohio-state-dual/boxscore

.......... @Truzzcat ........... Where's the rest?

Cannot stand watching Monster Mitch against domestic opponents since his JB match. I will watch him against anyone non-USA and root for him, still. Don't try to punk JB and act all innocent and non-douche. That was actually embarrassing to watch.

Then the other side of that question is, do we see him try to go 141lbs, if he cannot beat Joy out at 149lbs?

It really depends on where these guys land, as far as weights go, and if they Redshirt. I don't think Bassett redshirts out the gate. It works out nicely that he will slide right in at 149lbs for VT right after Henson graduates. Or 141lbs and Crook goes 149lbs for his senior season. Also, with Bassett's style, you want to use him before you lose him. I mean that due to his physicality, not his wiffle-waffliness. We have been fortunate to witness him go without injuries thus far, and I would rather see him wrestle rather than redshirt, then get hurt (not saying he does, just saying it's a possibility), so we get another redshirt at some point. Miller, on the other hand, will be coming in during the Junior/Senior seasons of McEnelly, Ferrari, Ryder, Welsh, Mantanona, SGW, Sinclair, etc. If he's 184lbs, he might want/need the Redshirt. If he's 174lbs his true-frosh season, though, that changes. He likely 'only' has to deal with Mantanona, Henckel, Minto, Ruiz, Norman, etc. Both are tough goes, but one looks like it could be significantly more difficult in three years than the other.

Method of results matter. Also, it's really 3-2 and 3-3, respectively, as the two wins are counted towards Ruiz and the two losses towards Pinto. Pinto was 25W-7L last season, whereas Ruiz was 27W-7L. So Ruiz had two additional losses, not including their razor thin matches, including a Major loss to Takatz (who went 0-2 at NCAAs) the week before conferences. Ruiz had a 46% bonus VS 56% bonus for Pinto. It checks out... but it doesn't, if you know what I mean. I actually expect Ruiz to win more comfortably. He balled out over the summer in MFS. I get why it is the way it is, when considering results. Ratings Predictions are only typically ~80% accurate, as it were. Edit: ~80% when considering the w/l result, not the Dec/Maj/Tech/Pin/etc. result.

125: 133: 141: 149: 157: 165: 174: 184: 197: 285: BONUS:

Any chance we see Fernandez try to find himself a spot if that gap between him and Joy widens (if Joy is even above him). Meaning maybe he goes 157/165?
