***Big 12 Wrestling Thread***

157 is shaping up to be harder than almost everyone thought. David will be fine no doubt but the top 4 are solid.
 
Hoping Carr is fine. I’m most worried about Degen. It’s going to be a grind, wondering how he holds up.
Jarrett AA'd last year with a torn labrum & rotor cuff in the very first match, he's going to grind it out. There is nothing else they can do for him until season is done. He a tough kid, and his mind set is where it needs to be. He's feeling as good as he can right now & he's upbeat. Can't wait to get there tomorrow!

Jarrett will probably go down as one of my all time favorite Cyclones. Dude is just a grinder and gets it done when the chips are stacked against him.
 
I have some video of Degen talking about his injury and how he feels with his technique and how he feels about going to NCAA's with a hurt shoulder! I'll get it up first thing tomorrow. Have a deadline tonight I have to get to first!

The kid is a warrior. Can’t wait to see how he finishes the year up.

I think Coleman is coming into his own at 184. Has looked well the last couple weeks. I would be disappointed if he didn't qualify automatically.
 
Got a day peppered with kids events. Good thing I got this ESPN + thing figured out and changed my data to unlimited. Gonna be on my phone a lot today.
 
Sounds like they're going to score all 8 places (instead of 6), so it'll be 16-12-10-9-7-6-4-3.

And with 8 NCAA qualifiers at 133, there might be a non-scored mini-bracket for 9th in order to have a "true 8th" match (if necessary).
