Neither McKenna or Lee will be the 1 seed... it will be Carr

Benner's stand up is not great however he is a hammer on top, interesting to see how he will translate to the next level

I guess could be either way... article on 3/3 says precautionary and will be ready... also says aggravated a lower body injury... http://www.nj.com/rutgers/index.ssf/2018/03/rutgers_scott_goodale_on_nick_surianos_big_ten_championships_exit.html Nick Suriano medical forfeited out of the Big Ten Championships semifinal round as a "precautionary" measure and will be ready for the NCAA Championships in two weeks, Rutgerscoach Scott Goodale said. "He'll be ready (for nationals)," Goodale told NJ Advance Media. "He needed probably another week." Suriano, the nation's top-ranked 125-pounder, wrestled his first bout in a month in the quarterfinal round after missing the Scarlet Knights' last four dual meets of the season due to illness. Additionally, Goodale revealed Suriano has also been battling a "lower body injury," and he aggravated the injury during his 9-2 quarterfinal win over Illinois' Travis Piotrowski, although it is not believed to be an issue.

Despite the loss of Richards and Brunson, Illinois will finish around 10th or so

Barone is 10-9. 8 of his losses are to guys who made the tournament. He beat a couple qualifiers as well

Emery Parker is ranked 11 at 184 my bad sophmore

Piotrowski illinois 125

illinois just as depressing… 1-1 in champs… 1-7 in consis

Illinois with all 10 wrestlers alive heading into day 2

I hope that is not correct... Based on this audio from Perry you would think Delgado is gonna go http://www.dailyillini.com/sports/men_sports/wrestling/audio_1305ff62-b95e-11e4-9216-cf42a98987c6.html

Heffernan was interviewed on 1/5 and asked about Delgado's status. To sum it up he is practicing and training and is close to returning. https://twitter.com/IlliniWrestling/status/552640220152082432 He then sat out last weekend of course.
