#2 Gavin Teasdale - The two time PA state champion is making the trip back to Fargo this Summer. The former Fargo Cadet champion will likely be the favorite on paper based on his past credentials and skill set. He made waves this Spring with a fantastic showing at UWW Junior Nationals where he made the finals after upsetting Oklahoma State Freshman Nick Piccininni. He has fantastic leg attacks, a lethal head pinch and tons of freestyle experience from his times on the Cadet World Teams. He sets a high bar, but he'll have to deliver to stand on top of the podium. I don't see him walking through this bracket unchallenged.
#9 Jack Wagner - Ok, I've got some super duper inside information here on Jack Wagner (alright, Willie told me this). He thinks Wagner is the sleeper of this tournament. He thinks he can make the finals and will be able to give Teasdale fits. He recently graduated high school and will be heading to the University of Iowa next year. We'll see if Willie's predictions ring true for the Iowa state champion.
This would be a fun matchup.
