Jeff Prescott - 2x NCAA champ. It was at a youth/JH tournament. I remember being confident and looking at him thinking I would be the bigger, stronger guy. The whistle blew and he was so fast I didn’t know what happened. When it was over he wasn’t even breathing hard. I am not even sure he had to make contact with me.
I think Paddy would really really struggle at 174. I don’t see him up that high. Birden has the frame for it and he needs to get stronger anyway. If Cannon is the 165, and that is a big if, —I think Paddy will be out or looking to the portal.
No Carter Young or Jesse Vasquez??

A follow up question to this: when considering At-Large NCAA bid after conference tourneys, when they consider win percentage, is that before or after the conf tourneys where most guys needing at large bids will take 2 more losses?

I got the Gophers in this one unless McCrone and/or Gallagher can come thru for the Bucks (and they can limit the bonus).
We can revisit this next fall. Watters must be over 6 ft tall with wide shoulders—I have stood right next to him.
And not only will Watters and Webster not be 149 in several years…they likely won’t even be 149 next year.
