All seem plausible but it’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. They have Henson winning 149. He’ll have to take out Parco in the semis. They have very similar styles and it’ll be a great match I don't have Henson making the semi-finals, if these seeds stay true. "I know actually nothing.

nhs67 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 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. 2 "I know actually nothing.

bnwtwg Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Uh oh Schultzy is protecting his seed again. Very concerned for Hendrickson/Davison. While Davison is definitely a 15-25% to make NCAA finals type, if Hendrickson is as banged up as we all think then he is going to have a not-so-fun weekend and he may not even make it to the finals. And if he is healthier than we think then what does that say about Kerk? Curious to see how Bastida performs with a full slate of dancing bears. Historically, and especially recently, successful undersized heavies are prolific offensive machines and that is certainly not how anyone would categorize Bastida. But I also would not be surprised to see him run through the bracket. He will be a bad matchup throughout the course of the season and that theme begins this weekend. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 "I know actually nothing.

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.

Agree...I think Younger than Dave Bastista is going to have a good run this season. He looked a decent size in the dual.... my guestimation would be in the 235 range, but I never worked at the fair guessing weights. He also looked in pretty good shape.

There’s some hammers he’ll have to beat to get to the semis but so far, he’s looking dominant and improved over last year’s true freshman performance. Andonian catches Shapiro early. That oughta be interesting if Shapiro lives up to the hype. VT and Cornell have a dual too so these guys might wrestle at least 3 times this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
