2024 165lb bracket


Recommended Posts

To me 165 was the bracket of the tournament but looking at the eligibility there are 7 guys who could be 4x AA in the bracket (5x for KOT)

Finalist

Carr - 2X NCAA Champ/3X finalist/4x AA

KOT - 2X NCAA Champ/ 2x finalist/4x AA - 1 year remaining - could be a 3x champ/ 5x AA

MM - 1 x Finalist - 3 years remaining - seems like he will win a title, maybe 3? and 4x AA

So it has a realistic possibility of having 8 titles in the one bracket.   Plus the below who, depending on weight changes and guys jumping levels, could win a title(s) at some point.

Also Eligibility to be 4x AA

Hunter Garvin - Freshman AA - Could be a 4x AA

Antrell Taylor - Freshman AA - could be a 4x AA

Caliendo 2 time AA - Could be a 4x AA

Amine - 3x AA - could be a 4 time AA (I think/ covid years confuse me?)

Multiple AAs

Hamiti - 2x AA - could be a 3 time AA

Olejnik - 2x AA

Peyton Hall 2x AA could be a 3xAA

This could be the only bracket where Amine and Hamiti didn't AA in college.   If Garvin,Taylor and MM all AA one more time (each with 3 years left), every AA in the bracket will be a multi time AA.

The above doesn't include Ramirez, who hasn't AAd but is really good and could be a high finisher next year. 

So the bracket currently has 4 NCAA Titles/6x finalist/23 AA finishes with the potential for more.   Could this go down as one of the best brackets ever?

I was saying this before the tournament even started this year.  3 world champs in one bracket and one of them wasn't going to see the finals.  Yah think some of those other 165s are lamenting their timing in coming through at the same time as these guys, much like Starroci and Brooks in their weight classes.  Sometimes it's about the timing.  These guys may be dealing with the inverse of this problem at the next level at Seniors.  Can't wait to see the next chapters.
