Overall the biggest gainer this weekend was Hall. He'll be back into the rankings tomorrow and put a lock on his NCAA allocation with his performance this weekend. He also looked a lot more like the guy who we saw at the start of the season. Quean also was a big winner just for getting those wins, but that won't impact our NCAA standings. Quean has as good a chance as anybody of stealing an NCAA spot at this point. But he isn't likely to score us any points if he does, unlike Hall, who could score us a lot of points if he is on.
The biggest loser was Lelund/Beard. They had a chance to push themselves into NCAA allocation contention and they biffed it. Weatherman would take that spot but his match against Ottinger today took the edge off his loss on Sunday. His problem is consistency, not ability. Little Moreno doesn't get it because he's a freshman and my expectations for him are pretty low at this point anyway.
I'm not sure if Hall's rise in the rankings will offset the drop from Weatherman's drop. Probably won't because Weatherman dropping to around 12-13 will cost us more points than Hall showing up around 15-17. I didn't pay enough attention to other duals this weekend to know if Moreno will move up or down at all. But at this point I expect no points from 184 at NCAAs, which is a huge drop from pre-season expectations. Moreno, Gadson, and Weatherman are all about where I expected (top 3 for Kyven, top 6 for Moreno, top 12 for Weatherman) but I thought Beard would be top 12 as well and that we'd be getting some support for a point or two from Goettl and Nicholson
