MSU158 1,219 Report post Posted March 20 (edited) How does a team made up of kids FROM your home state look? Obviously Pennsylvania and Ohio usually are the leaders, but NJ has a strong case this year. Michigan has lost some high end firepower the past couple of seasons with Gabe Dean and Adam Coon graduating, but we are still well represented: 125: RayVon Foley (9) seed with (18) Devin Schroder making for a viable backup. Foley should make the bottom of the podium. 133: Noah Gonser This (22) seed from Campbell is our only rep, but could win a match or 2 on the backside. 141: Kanen Storr (8) seed. I would be surprised if he doesn't make the podium. Ian Parker (17) and Nate Limmex(30) have some bracket busting potential. 149: Jordan Oliver (9) seed. Yet another guy seeded right on the edge of an AA finish. However, he has done it before. Malik Amine barely squeaked in as the (33) seed, but can be a tough out. 157: Alec Pantaleo (4) seed. Found his way late in the season and would have been seeded higher if not for MONO wrecking the 1st couple of months of his season. (10) seeded Bleise has legit AA potential. Logan Parks at (18) could win a couple of matches. 165: Logan Massa (6) seed should find the podium. Tyler Morland drew the TOUGHEST possible bracket as the 32 seed. He would likely have to beat Joe Smith(2xAA), Marinelli(1for1 AA), Viruet, Lewis(Jr World Champ), Wick(3rd place last year and 1for1) or Marsteller(4th last year) and then 2x Champ Joseph. 174: Myles Amine (4) seed. All his losses came to Hall and Valencia with a win over (3) seed Lewis. I expect him to place above his seed. Devin Skatzka is yet another (9) seed right on the edge of AAing. 184: Max Dean has a great seed at (5) and should make the quarterfinals. I don't see him beat Parker, but he should win a couple more on the back side to place near the middle of the podium. 197: RSFR Brandon Whitman (29) seed is our sole rep and has looked overpowered most of the season. Will be lucky to win a match on the back side. 285: Trent Hillger slots in nicely at (7) in his first year of competition. I think he places to seed. Colton McKiernan at the (30) seed shows how thin 285 gets after 20 or so. He draws Steveson first round and likely goes 0-2.

boconnell 1,278 Report post Posted March 20 (edited) Such is NCAA scoring that Texas would have a slight chance at outscoring that Michigan team with their 4 total qualifiers. 125 - Mueller 157 - Monday 197 - Nickal 285 - Andrews Their chances go up if you count Reenan who wrestled youth through 9th grade in Texas before transferring to Wyoming Seminary in 10th grade. Obviously Texas wrestling is not in the zip code of Michigan, but Nickal is that good and high all-americans are worth that much.

Eagle26 254 Report post Posted March 21 Hate to admit it but NJ probably beats PA this year if you just look at the top one in each weight. PA kills everyone else in depth, but top end talent is starting to see more parity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
