How many at larges available? We should qualify 125, 133, 141, 184, and 285 and I think we can get 157 and 197. 174 as always a mystery and 165 as always a lost cause.
Peterson, Heilmann, Olivieri, Clark, Soldano, Boone, And then one out of White/Turley/Janzer to qualify~~ rn leaning Turley if he wrestled like he did against Neb.. Maybe Janzer gets in too he’s been wrestling his best since freshman year but won’t be shocked if he doesn’t get in either..
Gonna be a stretch to get 157 and 197. There are 12 wrestlers ranked ahead of Clark at 157 and there are 10 ranked ahead of Janzer. Best case scenario I think is 6 auto qualifiers. I am going 5 auto qualifiers and 1 at large for 6 total qualifiers. 133 is a landmine weight class 9 bids for the Big....Iowa did not earn a bid and there are 11 ranked Big wrestlers. If Heilman does not auto bid, he should be a lock for at large.

I don't think it will be an easy qualify for any of them. There will have to be no bad surprises.
No clue. Wasn't really marketed. I'll have to look into it though.
This is the NCO(just new name). National Collegiate Open-in past was always a great tournament for guys redshirting and back-ups. Here are all the past All Americans-most years, pretty loaded brackets. http://www.nationalcollegiateopen.com/All_Time_National_Collegiate_Open_All_Americans.htm
Not sure how many big 10 coaches really care about the region tournament. There’s maybe one or two elite recruits in each region at the most. Better off catching all of them at once in the state tournament in a week.
Yea, for some reason thought this was replacing the NCO since it is the same weekend the NCO used to be. In my opinion the NCO two weeks after NCAA will not be well attended.
Looks like
Yeah odd to see him not wrestle basically the whole year aside from 1 date in November unless he is rehabbing an injury. Hard to say it was a productive redshirt season though.
