I'm going 157 David Carr.

I think Gable but Carr isn't a bad choice

Gable doesn't pin as much as Carr.

Berge has never lost to Carr

Serious question: Has Carr even lost since they last wrestled?  What are both of their records at 157 for folkstyle since?

Carr only has 1 loss in Folk and that was in 2020 by a score of 9-3 to Ryan Deakin .  In fact, he only had 1 loss during his redshirting season and that was Peyton Mocco 9-8.  So, not sure how Brady Berge even got into this, but I would say Carr is an overwhelming favorite if they hit at NCAA's...

Suriano and Steveson are the only #1 wrestlers with over 90% bonus rates.  Yianni is next at just under 70%.  Amine bringing up the rear at 35%.

Wow. Remember 2018? That was an innocent time.

125: Suriano's gonna at least major everyone until the finals, but that's offset if someone else gets 2 pins. So no biggie.

133: RBY has seemed a bit tentative this year. Thinking he has a Zain-like ending where he clearly dominates, but doesn't blow anyone outta the water.

141: Nick Lee's competition gets pretty stiff as early as the QFs. Won't be surprised by any bonus but not expecting any, either.

149: Yianni ain't bonusing anybody, but they'll all be fun to watch. Really feels like a gift watching him wrestle.

157: Carr will tear folks up, but like Nick, his competition gets pretty strong early on.

165: I think O'Toole will score more bonus than Wick, really. Both put up hella points, and both are doing it more this year. I just feel like O'Toole goes for it more.

174: Besides a weird match at Maryland, Starocci's ran it tf up on everyone else. If he didn't have Labs and Hayden on his side, I'd say he's a sleeper pick for the Gregorian this year. Will be fun to follow his tournament next weekend.

184: If #1 was still Aaron here, I'd say him. But it's Myles. He'll smother the most people of any #1 seed. But I don't see him fixing to bonus through the tournament, though would love to see it for the sake of Michigan's title chances.

197: Would love to see Max turn it on like he was at the beginning of the year. Much like Myles, I just think he'll win comfortably, even with a redemption match in the QF and a scary SF.

285: Would love to see Gable catch some pins, but I get it, a 130kg man can be a lot to subdue. Surely some longer MDs and TFs.
