Big 12 Wrestling Tournament

The guys who will give Yonger trouble are the bigger heavies who don’t do much to engage (Taye, Amos) or the athletic guys who also don’t do much (AJ).

The guys who are willing to go after it are not going to have a good day against him.
 
etch SHOULD be the 3 seed IMO but likely the 4

as for location i wish it would rotate between..
Tulsa
Des Moines
St Louis/KC
Fargo
With current timings that won't be possible with basketball tournaments already having the arenas booked.

My only concern are guys who are great on top. Ferrari and Trumble type guys. Yonger has gotten so much better on bottom throughout his career, but he’s been so dominant this year, being on bottom hasn’t even been a thing. Just not sure what that looks like for him in a close match.

He shouldn’t go bottom against the best riders. But, he’ll really need to push the pace on his feet to get a takedown, or a stall.
 
@Ryan Rohlk which athletes will be on the radio tonight talking about “Cowboy politics”? ;)
We only brought Grice up this year, and what a delightful young man he has become. He is so appreciative of the opportunity he has this year. Now everyone cross their fingers for his health, and the health of some of his teammates too, heading into Cleveland.

I tried my best to give that crybaby DT the business. His act is wearing thin with me. And I did my best with the officials at the Dilly Diner Saturday morning to let them know my thoughts ; )

See you in Cleveland.

Not that it wasn’t obvious with what we could see, but it feels like we are very beat up again heading into Cleveland.
 
Seems that our three top dogs are all healthy - Yonger, Elam, and Ech. Our team points are really going to depend on all 3 of them placing highly.

The rest of the guys were hoping for AA finishes and maybe some bonus. Stevo, Euton, Frost, and MJ are apparently healthy.

Dean and Zerban are the big question marks. Zerban is the big one in that fact he was a likely AA. Dean was on the outside looking in. Grice too, but any points from him are a bonus.

Zerban & Dean are definitely two that are health dependent.

I don’t think Frost is totally healthy either.

Minor observation but he had a knee brace on in his Consi finals match and hadn’t the day before.

Im assuming he wrestles one of the best riders in the country everyday in practice. Hopefully he's figured something out from that.

And Grice, it sounds like. May have tweaked a knee on Friday before MFF on Sat.
