Good point.  One has to wonder if you can get DQ'd in a wrestle-off for the double-split-bird-salute, or if that sort of behavior is encouraged in that new wrestling dungeon of theirs. 

Well if you can then @flyingcement and @Jimmy Cinnabon should've been DQ'd from these hear forums long ago.  🤨. maybe @poorwrestler also.

I think it can be partially attributed to the wrestlers, Ryan Jack and Camcho have underperformed at NCAA's seemingly every year. A singular instance this year but Andonian and Stewart were both certainly seeded lower than their skill level just given the amount of matches they had on the year.

From 125 - 157 they were seeded:

  • Camacho - 7 seed - DNP (-2)
  • Orine - 3 seed - 8th (-5)
  • Jack - 4 seed - 7th (-3)
  • Arrington - 3 seed - DNP (-6)
  • Scott - 4 seed - DNP (-5)

IMO every one of those guys is somewhere between the 6th and 12th best wrestler at their respective weights. 

Every single one of them won the ACC "tournament" and was subsequently overseeded because of it.

They beat some pretty good guys! Scott, not so much, but he was also a returning placer.

I know some of you will laugh at my post, but I think my Hokies could get to the podium:

 

125 Ventresca- previous AA

133- McGonagle- decent chance at AA

141- Latona- 2x AA

149- Henson- Champ

157- Hipolito- could go 2-2 at big meet, very dangerous like Andonian

165- Brady/Amine-

174- Wolak- AA

184- Stewart- AA as a freshman

197  Sasso/Smith- possible AA

285- Catka/Mullen

 

The ceiling for this lineup is probably a finalist and 7 other AA.  Is that enough to hit the podium???
