tigerfan 76 Report post Posted March 25 Dake can't catch a break in fantasy match ups. Howe/Lewis would be great. I'd give the nod to Varner, and Zab beat Rosholt, Ellis, Erekson, Dudziak, Rey, etc. WAY tougher bracket. I'd go with Zabriskie. Was Dhesi the only returning AA in the field this year? 1 MikePorcelli reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScarletKnight 61 Report post Posted March 25 Metcalf always loses to nj guys (molinaro and caldwell are his most painful American losses) so ill pick ashnault. And no way ness would win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd probably take: McDonough over Lee (freshman McDonough over sophomore Lee) Suriano over Ness Dake over Yianni Metcalf easily over Ashnault Nolf over O'Connor Howe over Lewis Valencia over Borschel Askren over Foster Varner over Nickal Casser over Zabriskie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamStall365247 16 Report post Posted March 25 A lot of people forgot how good Howe was. Yet another hammer that had the unlucky pleasure of being born around the same time as Burroughs, Dake, and Taylor. Howe was very, very good. 1 bnwtwg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That loss to molinaro put him into retirement and it prevented him from the Olympics so it was pretty significant. And of course caldwell was an ncaa finals (not that u forgot that one) Did metcalf have an undefeated season like ashnault just did? Lost to caldwell, caldwell and palmer, right? Ill stick with my picks. Not that metcalf wasn't great, he was, but he had some chinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

de4856 294 Report post Posted March 26 Well I think Metcalf would've handled Ashnault, it might have been close early on but with Brent's head snaps and gas take, I believe he would eventually wear Ashnault down. As far as Spencer goes, I think It would be close but I believe Spencer has a few more weapons in his arsenal than McDonough has. Also Spencer has extensive international experience, so I think would find a way to prevail. Now the Varner versus Nickal match would be very interesting. One the one hand your have a mountain of muscle with a great ankle pick, going against a guy who is very slick and versatile. But even though I think Nickal will go on to do great things, I think Varner would stay in position and keep Nickal's offense stymied. Varner would either get his ankle pick or maybe a slide by, to clinch things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
