I would say 125 is probably one of the hardest to win, since you know there is like 20 dudes who could win the whole thing. Kinda like 197 past year

Kennedy looks so broken it's hard to gauge anything. Definitely not an option at 174 tho

This tournament is making Gabe Arnold look even better

I'm talking h2h obviously

Iowa usually wins 165 also

It was like 12 hours prior. Robb has said the infection was effecting him greatly in the Cardenas match before levi

He did or else hardy would more than likely have beaten him again? Did that infection not exist when levi beat him in the tourney? Levi also was almost pinned the round before and benefitted from andonian having zero stamina after recovering from injury. The true number 2 in this weight was more than likely Humphries

I dont see iowa winning, but at the same times facts are facts. Kerk beat cass because he filled into the weight finally and is just plain and simply better. Not the case for bartlett

1st point is irrelevant until the wrestlers actually wrestle folk. The main difference here is that woods actually beat bartlett decisively last year, and bartlett benefitted at nationals last year from hardy getting hurt in the semis, or else more than likely bartlett takes 4th. Franek and levi had the same best win last year against Robb. Franek could have been a finalist too if he had Levi's path. Toss up until proven otherwise.

The difference here is Haines and messinbrink haven't produced results to show these matches would be anything other than toss ups. Bartlett hasn't shown anything that would indicate that the match is a toss up

Brooks literally takes a random loss almost every year. Wouldn't be shocking at all if he lost to any mix of ferrari, elam, sloan, Allred, Buchanan, beard etc

Until messinbrink wrestles all american talent in folk this is not even remotely a given. Franek/Haines is most certainly a toss up until results prove otherwise. Especially with how difficult his weight cut apparently is for haines. Beau bartlett almost beating a practice partner in freestyle after getting handled throughout the last season by hardy, woods, and alirez doesn't make it a tossup. I remember the same tournament bartlett lost to kolodzik who's not really that elite in free. That's the weight AJ himself said he would wrestle. I feel like he has a better grasp of where he would land then le duke lmao I'm sorry I upset you by saying there's a chance Iowa won't get swept 125-hwy.

Iowa wins 141 for sure. No nagao then teske winning is almost a guarantee. 165 is Iowa unless it's messinbrink then it becomes a toss up. 125, 157, 165, and if ferrari is on the team 197 are toss ups Psu is the favorite at 149 174 184 and hwy. Didn't say Iowa would win. Just said it would be closer/more competitive.

I'm not saying they have a chance of winning. I'm just saying it will be more competitive. Iowa at least should get a trophy now.

Not if iowa gets all the suspended athletes back like the rumor is

That kid may see the lineup his senior year

Idk man I think Barrs good, but I see a combination of facundo, sealed, Ryder, mirasola and maybe starocci manning those weights come time for barr to start

Probably would flip the top 2. Then put barr at the bottom. Just don't see him starting with all the other talent they have lined up around 174-197

Wouldn't really call that the "facts" when DSJ won 10 years ago and Ramos won in 14.

I think tyus could make the podium some day. What ever happened to ruffin?

Is brands losing to guys like Olmos, mocco, and devos? I thought it was well known that brands was I believe a car accident at the start of the year. Which kind of explains his early season results

How are you putting brands in tier 4 when he is 2-0 against plott?

Ashnault wrestled in fields that were far better than the one bartlett took 3rd in, and has much better wins. Bartlett isn't winning in folk. I'll concede that he could beat Henderson in folk. But still a tossup

That's freestyle... both of those guys destroy him in folk

Having a close match with someone he practices with every day doesn't mean he will beat woods or alirez. Hell I'm still waiting to see if he could even beat brock hardy
