The US Open tends to draw a lot of wrestlers from all over. If you look at the clubs, there are a lot of guys from random wrestling clubs like "Gus' Garage"I don't follow freestyle very much. Are brackets normally this big for the US Open?
Sort of the running joke for the Open is you've got the regulars from the RTCs then you have the "roofers" who are keeping the dream alive. That's not exactly the case, but it isn't far off for some.
