125: Barlow makes the field by some crazy decision from the committee. Unseeded. Opens with #8 Lizak. Should see Oliver of Indiana on the backside. Any wins would be all cherries.

133: Erneste gets the #5 seed, which is pretty fair. Should have a pretty clear path to quarters where #4 Brock should be waiting. 1 point match in Stillwater. Pretty tough weight overall. AA will still be tough.

141: eierman at #2. Dodged most of the tough draw. Should walk to quarters. Nothing ever easy from there. Should AA, with legit shot at Finals.

149: Leeth, the biggest surprise of the season, snags #3. Same story as eierman, should walk to quarters. Probably not a title challenger, but certainly a threat to make the Finals. AA likely, should he wrestle the way he has all year.

157: good news, joey gets the #2. Bad news, 157 is a meat grinder. Good news, got a pretty good draw. Bad news, Nolf at the #3. Good news, Nolf is injured, bad news, still have to get through the meat grinder to get the semis against him. Joey should AA. IF Nolf isn’t 80%, joey could have a title chance.

165: Flynn has a solid season, unseeded. Great news for him is drawing the #14 to open, which is about as good as you could hope for. Another meat grinder. Probably not an AA, but can win a few.

174: Lewis #3 despite being undefeated. Not even a slight. Given both above him are monsters and also undefeated. Quarters get tough, where Bo Jordan should be. Time to see just how much better Lewis has gotten this year. Should AA.

184: Great frosh season for #15 Marriott. Win a few would be a good tournament. Probably not an AA.

197: Miklus got the short end of the stick, the #6. Still in the same quarter I thought he would get though, with Haught of VT at #3, who has a really tough 2nd round draw. Miklus pinned him, but was getting beat badly earlier this year. Also got his 6th year waiver approved, so he will be back next year. Should AA. Most wide open weight. Willie has a chance to win a title, but has to be on top of his game.

285: no qualifier. Good recruit coming in out of Staley (kc) though.

Team: should be in the hunt for a team trophy (top 4). If things go poorly for Ohio state and penn state, we could sniff the hunt for the title. Probably not, but a team trophy is a realistic shot.
