Cy-Hawk: Pre-Dual Thread

One obvious thing about this dual that can’t be overstated and hasn’t been mentioned much is assuming Evan handles 133 well.
There has been quite a bit of skepticism about Frost handling the cut to 133 well on these boards. I think it may not be discussed in regards to this dual much because 1. He's pretty clearly our best option and 2. I don't think many people are optimistic about him beating Ayala anyway, so doesn't factor into most people's "win calculations".

To the contrary, I think he can beat Ayala.
 
Official Rankings heading into the dual (per Intermat):
125- Stevo #9 vs Peterson #7
133- Frost #6 vs Ayala #3
141- Ech #6 vs Bailey #7
149- Paniro #2 vs Block #10
157- Vinny #3 vs Williams #12
165- Caliendo #3 vs Euton #22
174- Gaitan #11 vs Kennedy #2
184- Dean #10 vs Ferrari #1
197- Rocky #2 vs Endene #4
Hwt- Yonger #1 vs Kueter #6

7 top 10 matchups (assuming the ranked guys are the ones wrestling), lots of toss ups, should be an incredible dual. I think Iowa State gets it done this year, but it will be tight throughout

Wonder what the spread will be.

Assuming a start at 25, Keep it close going into the last two and watch the lid on Hilton blow the hell off.
