Stuart1 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 Buckeyes could have three champs and five in the finals, they look really good. http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/010418aaa.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart1 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 Coming into the season still thought PSU would be the favorite. Been amazed at the progress of Pletcher and Martin, Martin looks like a finalist and pletcher a top four guy. You have to put Tomasello, Snyder and Martin has favorites to be champs, that is a lot of points. Hayes had lost kolodzik a year or split matches and this year beat him 2-0, so also improved. Bo looks great just has two hammers in his weight. Campbell looks improved as well but that weight is really good will be tough to aa, but possible. McKenna has looked good needs to see some tougher competition to get a real gauge. Micah had a few tough losses but as always in the hunt to aa. Tremendous job coaching staff.

Stuart1 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 Yup meant to put Moore in initial lost of three champs, he is a heavy favorite he is one of the three champs. Martin looks like second but who knows has beaten him before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowrestle 689 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 Don’t think Martin will beat Bo but 2 years ago I thought the PSU wrestler would win the NCAA’s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffr_ideal 216 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 The problem is that PSU has two guaranteed champs and tOSU only has one. PSU also has an almost guarantee with Nickal, but Martin can challenge (and I agree, he looks great this year). So really PSU has 3 guarantee to make the finals to only 1 at tOSU. Tomasello any other year, you might make a case for guarantee final, but 125 is loaded this year. tOSU will have to wrestle above their ability to beat out PSU.

Stuart1 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 I used to feel that TOSU would have to wrestle above ability, but after the scuffle am concerned, Nevills had two bad losses, keener did DNP, Cassar did not look great, rasheed did really well but is 10 lbs undersized, Cortes is a bit hurt, and they do not have any points at 125. That is five weights. Rooting for PSU, they need big points from rasheed/cassar, Lee, and Nevills. Anybody know if nevills was hurt, he is normally so consistent, has wins over Kasper and Hall this year, maybe just a bad weekend, before scuffle had him at third best HWT.
