Disappointed Cal Baptist didn’t qualify anybody.
As an aside, at least Drake’s final year of wrestling Mitchell Mesenbrink’s dad qualified for Drake.

Had no idea his dad went to Drake.

Yep. Small world. Also coached at DSM Roosevelt for a minute before coaching high school in Wisconsin (and ultimately with Askren, IIRC).

I'm just a casual so I don't know anything about their team but I am surprised to see Campbell on the list of no qualifiers. They have been a regular the last decade, so I expected the Camels to have a couple of wrestlers in.

I just saw, Kael Bennie of Utah Valley got a wildcard as a 197 that did not allocate and is 15-16 overall.

I didn’t know that was possible.

As I understand it, the school cut scholarships and funding to the wrestling program last year. They also made a coaching change. So they're probably not keeping or attracting top recruits. A few years ago, Cary Kolat (renowned college great) was their coach but he moved on to Navy.

Thanks, I wondered if someone poached their coach.

3 AA and a lot of blood round heart ache / hopefully some our guys in 9-13 can out pace seed and make top 8

sorry but if you can't produce qualifiers you cant stay in D1 -
its not fair to the sport, the school or the kids

For guys like Grice, Euton, Dean, and MJ, the draw they get for matchups will make as big a difference as whatever seed they get. Like any big tournament, the draw you get determines an awful lot.

Cory recruited Iowas hard.

Crazy how far Hofstra has fallen. Tom Ryan had them in a good place before he left!

Duke fell off the map after all the Finesilver brothers graduated.
