I am guessing Larson goes at 125. Hoping we hear good news about Harrington and he can go.

Not sure who goes at 141 and 157. Heard they might have wrestle offs today.

So will we get to see Boston at 133 in any of the open tournaments? I am assuming his days at 125 are gone.

Hall gets the #6 pre-seed at 133

Moreno gets the #6 pre-seed at 149

Weatherman gets the #6 pre-seed at 165

Weatherspoon with the combo breaking #4 pre-seed at 174

And I don't know how set in stone this makes it but we've got Larson, Dante, Breitenbach, and Egli registered. Also Joe Scanlon rather than Quean at Heavyweight.

Hall likely to see Garrett from Cornell in Quarters.

Moreno likely to meet Mastriani from VT in Quarters

Goose likely to see Moore of UNI in Quarters

Spoon likely to see Reed of OU in Quarters

I have heard Logan's name and wouldn't surprise me after the Iowa dual. Maybe the same for Quean.

Not sure how long they can/will wait for Marcus.

If Boston cannot healthily maintain 25 that is unfortunate. That likely means either Simmons or Boston sits at 33 next year.

Hopefully Harrington's legal status will be determined in the next couple weeks and he can wrestle moving forward starting with Midlands. I assume he is still working out in the room.
