Warm Up Champ Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 21 hours ago, bnwtwg said: 197: anyone seeded 1-16 has a shot. Dean and Warner aren't dark horses as returning finalists but they aren't far off. So I'll say Braunagel even though I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't qualify either. I agree, 197 is wild. I am jacked to see how that plays out. I'll throw our Beaver 197lber into that mix. Harvey has the ability to get on a run and shock some people.

Jerry Callo Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I would argue that just about anyone outside the top 5 in any weight who makes the NCAA Finals meets the definition of “dark horse”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Callo Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Having said that - the dark horse pickings are slim! 125 Barnett, Courtney or Cardinale? 133. Phillips or Mendez 141 who knows? 149 Paniro or Mauller 157 Andonian or Milner 165 Amine, Hamiti, Ramirez or Kharchla 174 Plott Romero Smith or Ruth 184 Loew Bolen or Munoz 197 Trimble Truax Warner or DePrez 285 Hendrickson Elam or Yaruslau (Colton Schultz would NOT be a dark horse but an underachiever IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerniePragle Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I didn't see anyone mention Jordan Titus of WVa. He's got some good coaches, Flynn, Port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medley is confusing to me. He lost the starting battle to McHenry to start the season but then comes back and smokes Barnett. Not sure if he was coming back from injury or what.... @nhs67 any ideas?

Medley is confusing to me. He lost the starting battle to McHenry to start the season but then comes back and smokes Barnett. Not sure if he was coming back from injury or what.... @nhs67 any ideas? Yeah I’d definitely be most confident in Medley of the 3. In part because the parity at 125 after Lee is crazy (and I wouldn’t even say it’s “weak” as some have the last couple years). Medley would be a great Cinderella story though. Verkleeren can wrestle anyone to a 1 point match. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him do it a few times in a row at NCAA’s. Urbas I admittedly don’t think I had seen other than the Warner match. But seeing what he did to Warner I could see him doing that to other guys and going on a run. 197 of course is another weight with a lot of parity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’ll throw Jore Volk’s name in the mix. True freshman that made the U20 world team and seems to be on an upward trajectory beating a tough Noah Surtin 11-1 last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
