It’s crazy to look at that list and think to ones self, “I think we have a really good chance to wrestle above most seeds as a team.” I love it.

Crazy, we are back! It's been awhile. What a team, wait until next year! Gets even better!
I’m a little worried about the quarterfinal matchup with Gas Tank Gary. That guy was pulling some strange Merkel stuff in their last matchup. Hopefully Cassioppi picked up a few things in that match.
They better be on their best behavior or they might hit negative.
Cass will beat him like he stole something on their feet so unless gas tank suddenly makes that a turn, I wouldn’t sweat that matchup at all. Maybe Cass gives up a riding time point but he should beat him easily. Just one guy’s opinion.
We have two or three guys who shouldn't take down. But it seems like the macho thing to do. Just wrestle smart. Like if you're ahead with 20 seconds to go you don't need a take down. Just protect your win...
Yes match strategy can be very important. Would prefer to see him get choice in the 2nd and go on bottom if need be rather then in the 3rd. Guessing it will not matter though as BIG Cass puts a beating on him!
I am guessing this is a win a match or two to qualify and MF out or a Suriano situation to get a couple weeks to heal up and go at NCAAs.
For the first time in a long time I am really happy with tournament seeds for our guys. Not sure what to think at Hwt, whether it's good news or bad that Cass would face GS in the semis, but either way it was going to be a tough match up. Excited for him to get a 2nd shot at one of them and hopefully both.
Hoping they don't make any changes at 33 because this set up is the best case scenario for AD. He can obviously beat rby and Gross, but don't want to see him wrestle seabass until the end if he faces him at all. I think he can beat all these guys and believe he does, but if he has to face the unknown, I'd rather it be in the finals if possible and get the most points and highest finish he can get.

I kinda feel that even though the match with Steveson was closer on the score board that he has a better chance to win vs Parris. I think Steveson beats Parris and Hilger gave him a tough go last match as well.
Without a doubt... Young is MY biggest concern.
I feel very confident on the bottom two match ups but the top three, anyone of them could lose those matches.
If Abe had been wrestling the last three weeks I wouldn’t worry about him vs rocky either but we just have no idea what he’s going to be like the rest of the year.
Flo Arena posted brackets based on pre-seeds. Official brackets Friday night. Also, noticing at 174 Jacob Covaciu is no longer listed and brackets show 3 seed Lydy with a bye to the quarters
Absolutely. Sometimes it’s like watching Tin Cup. Just win - don’t worry about machismo.
I think the brackets have been released:

Definitely and doubt we see many changes to the Hawks seeds.
