Carton: he really showed that he's a legit top 20 guy. I initially wrote this weight off for Nationals but now I think he has an upside of the round of 12.
Kemerer: I thought he would be somewhere around 4-6 before the season. After the Berger match and this weekend, I think he's a contender to wrestle Nolf on Saturday night.
Brooks: We finally saw a complete match without the mental lapses and he kept on the offense. He should have had the fall but the refs were slow into position.
On the flip-side:
Meyer is Meyer: He waits until the 3rd to show any urgency. He'll probably do the same in March and do just enough to get onto the podium again.
Clark should be fine. It was a poorly officiated match but he needs to start stronger. As long as gets on the opposite side of the bracket as NaTo, I like his chances to wrestle in the finals.
Sorensen: I was disappointed in him but I still think he's in the finals in March. My only worry is that Mayes steals the #3 seed from him and he's forced to face Zain in the semis. For that to happen, I think either BS would have to lose another one outside of Zain or Mayes would need to come back and beat Collica later this month, which is a possibility.
Stoll: I think he'll be fine. He doesn't look completely recovered but I think he wins that match most of the time. I think he's a lock to be somewhere 6-8 on the podium this year if he's healthy.
