Denkins to Virginia.

If Ayoub makes 125 I will eat my shoe.

Looking at some Big 10 lineups on WrestleStat. Regarding Wisconsin: 1) Is Amos gonna be back and going up to HWT? Is Dillon Johnson just focused on football? 2) Is Zargo really coming back at 149--I never heard any update on his recovery and whether he would attempt to return? 3) What is the status of Julian George...will he fit in at 149/157? I thought he was a solid recruit coming out of HS but hasn't wrestled much at all....

Cannon will more likely be 165/174. 149 ain't happening.

Pretty confident Mayfield will be at 165. Probably more likely to be 157 than 174. He is not a big 165….

No—where was he from?

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.

But the real question is for the good of these kids—does it have to be that way?

And what about Vasquez? How is he not seeded top 8 either?

Sorry to hear. Loved his posts and his Blog. He will be missed. RIP.

No Carter Young or Jesse Vasquez?? 149 Pounds Colin Realbuto – Northern Iowa Paniro Johnson – Iowa State Willie McDougald – Oklahoma Gabe Willochell – Wyoming Gavin Drexler – North Dakota State Paul Kelly – Cal Baptist Logan Gioffre – Missouri Benji Alanis – Northern Colorado

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?

Flynn dec McCrone 3-0 Davino dec Wells 3-3 Mendez maj VV 3-7 D’Emelio dec Roberts 3-10 Cannon Dec Askey 6-10 Sparks dec Paddy 9-10 Kharchla dec Whiting 9-13 McEnelly maj dec RR 13-13 Salazar dec Shumate 16-13 Gable maj Feldman 20-13 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.
