Already Got My DVR Set for...

...the Michigan dual on Friday. I don't expect it to be close with half their starters red shirting, but it is the start of the B1G dual season and January is stacked. I also don't expect to see Clark competing at 133 or the RS pulled for either Young or Marinelli.

I thought I read someone's interview with brands (or a poster commenting on the interview) that Clark would be going in the next dual?

Yes, that is what Tom said in the interview.

Yes, that is what Tom said in the interview.

Someone earlier made the statement that while Tom did say that you would see Clark at Michigan he did not say he would wrestle there. (Just passing this along )

Yes, I remember reading that too

What Tom actually said is that Corey would be "ready to go" for the dual in Michigan next week. He seemed straight forward with his answer and didn't sound glib to me in his response. He said he could've wrestled in the Midlands, but they opted to be conservative. Good test for Clark vs Micic.

Here was Michigan's line up and results against Minnesota last month. Assuming Clark doesn't wrestle and the RS at 165 stays in tact, I give Michigan the nod at 133 and 165. Strange to see them go from a B1G contender to losing to Minnesota. Match of the night could be at 157, although Short beat Murphy 5-1.

If Clark is back MI wins only 165 IMO.
