I see Coby Merrill is seeded 5th at heavyweight. That weight is pretty decent with Carroll, Lanosga, Ziola, and both Minny heavyweights.

Would not shock me at all if Coby wins that entire thing.

I find it interesting that the Hawks are sending all backups to the Soldier Salute. Was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that there were conflicts with other meets because they had to hold it a week later than usual. Nope, no meets until Dec 9th.

Doesn't feel real cool that they promoted the meet with Ferrari and other starters on the posters yet sending only backups.

Not all backups.

Looks like they want to get Bailey & Williams some RPI help.

Herrera has former Hawk Bradley Hill in the first round. If he wins that match we’ll likely get a Merrill bs Herrera match in round 2.

Most excited to see where Pearson, Rojas and Powe are at.

Is Meza wrestling the salute or not? Pre-Seeds show him as a 7 seed but the graphic for the team doesn't show him....

That's what I was thinking with him being in the X photos of the team but got all sorts of confused going through the pre-seeds. Thanks

Tj Koester and Coby Merrill are the two guys that are unattached that are future or current clones

More power to him. Sometimes a change in scenery is for the good. But I can't say I was disappointed to see him transfer.

Yea I agree we needed a new 125 we needed more consistency but I’m happy he’s doing good and wish nothing but the best for him, plus it made sense he transferred he was one of the guys I wasn’t shocked about leaving same with redding
