D'Emilio/Paniro 2nd rd. isn't a bad matchup. Feldman beats Kueter next time.
I only want to wrestle McCrone and Bouzakis first rd. Mendez/Bartlett Semi is fine.
Shumate has tough first match. Rogotzke could pin his way to Keckeisen.
Cannon has a path to the semi. Kharch and Paddy didn't get any favors.
Top six this season would surprise some folks...
Little over a week. Go BUCKEYES...
 
I certainly would...
I think it's highly unlikely, and it would be best case scenario, But in order of likelihood. I have 141,157, 133, 174, HWT, 149, 125, 165, 197, 184.

Expected or likely to AA
141, 157

I think has a realistic shot
133 (only not expected since he starts so slow sometimes),174, HWT, 149

So we'd only have 2 more guys really have to over perform greatly to hit that 8 mark.

125 - weight class has been insane for the last two years and mccrone has shown he can beat anyone and lose to anyone.

I think 165, 197, and 184 all could make a run and i wouldn't be surprised although extremely unlikely.
 
Next years line up-- take out karson and dylan and put in davino and welsh.
TOSU will be in trophy hunt with all 10 of their own recruited athletes
 
Projections based on bracket draws

#20 McCrone - 0-2
#7 Bouzakis - 3-2
#3 Mendez - Top 5. If he loses to Bartlett in the Semi, he will have the loser of Alirez and Hardy quarter in the consi semi
#13 D'Emilio - 7-8th. Will have Kanon Webster in the blood rd, if it goes how I predict.
#5 Cannon - Bloodround
#26 Gallagher - 1-2
#9 Kharchla - 5th
#26 Rogotzke - 2-2
#23 Shumate - 1-2
#12 Feldman - 4th (very good draw)
 
Im proud of the bucks. People don't realize what a guy like shumate has gone through for the TEAM. He was set to compete for the spot at 197. Trained hard. Lifted hard. Got himself up to 215 so he could be a good size for the weight. Doesnt get the spot. Ryder gets hurt. For the team, he cuts to 184. Then geog gets hurt so he is back at 197. That's hard on a guy trying to be a stud in the big 10. He was a couple borderline takedown calls from being a much higher seed. Will he aa? I dunno. It's not looking good,but I'm rooting like he'll for a really really good kid.
