Soldano got it rough. The msu kid is a man and Soldano seems like a little kid against him. Hopefully he redshirts and goes 174 after that.

Seriously, even at 174 some guys (like Starocci) look bigger and stronger than him.
Just about as unlucky a draw as any of these guys could have got. Peterson is probably in decent shape to make a run. Heilman I think could fair well in the wrestlebacks. Everything else could get ugly just because of how the seeds shook out. Can’t love all the big 10 draws in the early rounds.
I mean Starocci has a shot to be the only 5x champ in NCAA history so not really a fair comparison. Soldano looks like a good 174 pounder. Give him 3-4 more years of being in a big 10 practice room and weight room and I’m sure he’ll fill out more as he gets older.
Big 10 vs Big 10 in first round is annoying. Do they even try to avoid that at all during seeding or they just dont care?
Seems like they don’t care and you’re often penalized for being in tougher conference and often rewarded for not wrestling at all.
I might have thought Peterson, but if things go as seeds suggest, he would need to beat DeAugustino to reach the blood round, then beat #7 seed Kaylor to AA. IF all goes according to seed and I have read it correctly.
The sport of wrestling is behind the 8 ball in a lot of things, but nothing is worse than the NCAA running their wrestling individual tournament at the same time as the basketball tournament.
This is a tough tournament for all wrestlers. No one seeded below 10 has an easily path to AA. Of the RU guys, Peterson has a good path. He should be positioned to do well in the wrestle-backs. If he gets it this year, he has a chance to our 2nd 4-time AA.
Why is DeAugustino seeded so low….. and to beat Kaylor Peterson would need to continue his revenge tour…
Peterson having beaten Braxton Brown after being dominated in their first match is impressive. His losses to DeAugustino and Kaylor were both one-point losses. I don't recall precisely but will guess the difference was Peterson getting stuck on bottom. THAT is something he needs to be working on over the next week and may be critical to him pulling off wins with those two guys.
Heilmann moves up the #16 seed and will now face Brayden Palmer (CHAT) in the first round
I've reviewed the draws again and don't see much chance for anyone but Peterson. Peterson can do it if he wrestles his best of the year and, of course, doesn't lay an egg or get injured against Ramos.
If Peterson loses to Ramos on championship side.. he’s going to run into the loser of DeAugstino/Cardinale.. on the back side.. I think Soldano might be our best shot to AA..
Peterson lost to DeAugustine and Kaylor by one point. Those two seem easier to overcome than Soldano getting past the loser of Romero/Brooks. Soldano also has to beat some higher seeds to even get that far. All these scenarios depend on opponents wrestling to seed and our guys wrestling above seed. We know anything can happen, but...
I agree. His first guy Trombley is a big older 125lber that will be a tough matchup for him.
Quite possible. Don't forget Heilman made it to the blood round last year (I believe).
Agree. Trombley beat Jersey state champ Ventresca in OT for the ACC title. My scenario disappears if Dean loses the first round. It won't get easier after that.
For him to make the blood round this year - and if the stars align as they should - he would need to beat #8 Nagao.
Cardinale had a limited amt of matches and mff out of the acc tourney. Would say he def has a shot there.
Had him in fantasy NCAA championship last year, loved watching him wrestle and became a big fan. Sad to see the injury.
He can do it. This is his last go at wrestling, hopefully he'll be extra motivated
For all the knocks Goodale gets around here from the naysayers, one thing often overlooked is his ability to get seniors to go on serious runs in the tournament.
Helped Bulsak get over the hump last year, Ashnault to win his title, DelVecchio, Theobold. Got Perrotti there a 2nd time and Rivera a 4th. And I firmly believe Pagano was destined for something special as he was seriously heating up heading into the cancelled 2020 tournament. He also got JVB pretty damn close to the podium as well.
