West2east has been privy to a lot of information before it’s made public
Midlands Predictions
- Thread starter William J Moses
- Start date
FYI Midlands first round is listed on Big Ten Plus. All ten mats. $$$$
Quite possible that both Kemerer and Lee might not wrestle the complete tournament. Maybe a bout or two then default. This might sound crazy. We could win the Midlands if Lee and Kemerer default out. Will find out in two weeks.
Yeah don't think we're going to have this one. They'll close everything down again and again it won't make a difference. All the mitigation by those in power has been for naught, the virus is simply going to run it's course.
Both Peterson and White will be competing unattached at Midlands.
I believe you are right about the virus and any of its strains running the course. We'll need to get to herd immunity and then there will still be annual vaccines like with Influenza. I fear you're also right about cancelations again this year.
Surprised that Olivieri isn't wrestling. Is he banged up? He didn't wrestle at the last open tourny.
I'm thinking the exact same thing. But the vaccines will need to continue being effective. Vaccination production might not be able to keep up with the latest, evolving mutations and/or what mutations surprisingly pop up out of nowhere.
He hasn't been able to crack the lineup or make any noise since his arrival.
He might never get a starting spot but he shows up to practice and should at least get a chance to wrestle unattached at some open tournaments.
He's wrestled at Midlands and Scuffle previously in his career, so we'll see what happens this year.
I agree, everyone should get a chance.. but the truth is, wrestlers don’t magically improve drastically overnight.
He has wrestled some opens and is in the room...not much else to say was the point I was trying to get across. Coming in with a Blair pedigree, I was hoping to see more from him. He still has a good amount of eligibility left but we are currently over recruiting him, so I'm not sure where his opportunities will lie.
FYI-not sure if you are using Wrestlestat for your info, but wrestlestat is not official....it is their guess on who attends. The official entries will be on trackwrestling and nothing will be official until after weigh ins.
Yes I'm using wrestlestat. I know it's their best guess and they don't list unattached wrestlers but it gives us some rough guidance.
Looks like dollarbill predicted no Midlands last week. Was hoping for some stiff competition so our guys have a shot at some good seeds at year-end.
Please don't shoot the messenger. I'm too easy to find. Happy Holidays to you all. $$$$
So did you hear whispers or was this just a wild guess?
Anyway, not sure what to make of this, but everyone should just go to the Southern Scuffle...

I see Alverez winning Midlands. He is a guy that will cause Desanto to loose his mind and judging from how Alverez wrestles-Desanto will not be hitting his dump on a guy like Alverez. He clearly has his weight under control this year and is a problem at the weight for anyone in the country. Since his freshmen year the kid just seems to wrestle to his competition. When he wrestles a top 5 guy he steps ups and gets the job done or its a OT situation. His so called "sloppiness" is the furtherest thing from true, thats what makes him who he is. Getting into some positions most guys won't dare go into or even have the athleticism to get in that position and SCORE.
Revisit.

MVB? Nope, White was the man and mostly in the main draw.
How'd I do with the others?
And this?
The only poster on this board who excitedly calls out someone who predicted a Rutgers wrestler to win. Insufferable
I suggested we revisit, not just his but mine that he was responding to. Then I did what I suggested. Not excited at all, but bet you were.
