Can’t wait for post season wrestling. Getting some discussions going with my Big 12 predictions.

125 - Stevo second to Spratley. I’m not sure if Strickenburger will still get the 3 or not after his losses the other weekend. Either way, I like the way Stevo is wrestling and think he makes the finals. He can definitely beat Spratley, but still picking Spratley at this time.

133 - Evan 4th. Jax is winning Big 12s and leaving no doubt. Will be interesting to see, but I just can’t shake Evan limping into Big 12s last year and not having wrestled in a month.

141 - Ech 1st. I’m going to die on this hill this year probably, but I think Vega is the most overrated OSU fresh. He’s obviously very good, but I’ll be very surprised if he makes an NCAA final. Ech finishes a takedown this time and wins the match.

149 - Frost 1st. F it, I know he hasn’t looked great as of late but I just can’t pick him to lose to Swiderski.

157 - Zerban 3rd. This weight is loaded with Waters, Larkin, Robideau and Vinny. Vinny looks good right now, but someone trips him up.

165 - Euton 5th. Solid qualifier, but just not beating other guys ranked in top 12 or so.

174 - MJ 3rd. Really don’t know about this one. He could go 1st to 6th. I like how he’s wrestling, but not sure I can see him stringing enough together to win.

184 - 4th. this weight is going to be a lot of close low scoring matches. Just don’t see the offense from Dean

197 - 1st. Another really tough weight. Really hope to see Elam get another shot at Merrill to widen that gap. I expect Elam to win controlled matches that are closer in score.

285 - 1st. Yonger next topic

Solid take. Echemendia is defintely talented enough to beat Vega. Stallwater tipped the scale on their last match IMO.

But the last two matches of Anthony's were so uncharacteristic. Getting reeled in at the end taken down two (almost three) times in a row vs UNI and barely sneaking a decision from a 12-10 guy from Missouri.

Against WVU Dresser said Anthony was a total joy to watch practice due to how locked in the guy was. Anyone know what might be going on?

Going to be interesting.

We have a few guys that I feel like have looked very good of late (Stevo, Vinny), a few that I feel have wrestled about as expected in JFrost, Euton, MJ, Elam, Yonger (though Yonger obviously has been great), one that has looked off (Ech) and two we have no clue where they are health wise (EFrost and Dean).

I think Okie St wins going away but we should be a comfortable 2nd.

Four champs would be outstanding. If your projection were to be achieved, does that mean all 10 qualify?

If we see another timid version of Ech against Vega where he doesn't have the tenacity to finish a shot, then throws a parade for Vega winning I might puke. That was embarrassing. Compete to win and save the other garbage for another time. Ech can win the match, but he's too scared of Vega's ability to put him into a bad position.
 
Stevo - finals
Evan - consi finals, but who knows. I've always said the cut is too much and this is 2 years in a row he's limping to the finish line. If he makes the finals I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Ech - finals
Jacob - finals
Vinny - consi finals
Euton - 5/6th
MJ - consi finals
Dean - 5th/6th - favorable path with a shaky Ryder as the 2 seed. We've brought in some 184's only to be let down at the end of the year with injuries it feels like

Spot on. This is pretty much exactly where the betting markets have it.
