I did not say all 4 on same side. my scenario would be Gable (1), Mason (4), kerk (2), Cass (3). but Schultz will screw this up. maybe Cass ends up at 6 b/c of the Del Garbino loss

So who do you have winning 174
Nothing outrageous there. Eierman looks a long ways from the finals right now and pretty early to project Ayala. We need 149, 157 and 184 to exceed current projections to have a shot.
I went with Mekhi. That was the toughest weight to figure out. Also I didn't want to go chalk with top seed winning everyone. Thought this would get a barometer of what things look like in the current landscape.
He's injured and his weight is 174 so yeah, he's beaten out too.
I did watch him at NCAAs last year. And while I was watching his matches my sphincter was so tight you couldn't have pounded a needle into it with a sledge hammer. The guy keeps it close regardless of the competition as you can see from the WrestleStat information below. Against Reenan and Buchanan he had 2 or more TDs, but the rest of them were one TD matches, and all of them were close. And I'm in no way questioning his defense or his overall abilities, as he's clearly a fricking hammer. I'm just saying that with his style (low scoring, count on his defense), and last year's NCAAs is a decent example, he could finish top 3 or off the podium. Reenan's match from last year was a good example. Went to SV and could have gone either way.

Place points is easier to speculate, too often bonus is the deciding factor. Sliding to the backside of the bracken isn't fatal as long our guys can bonus there. Being honest, PSU has more bonus potential if one of their horses has slip up than us. But it is a long ways to March.
JFC, relax, I was only wondering why you thought he could beat Parris. Judging by most of your takes on this board, I don't know why I cared to begin with. Sorry if my wording offended you.
After your initial pontification, you answered the question.
I think these are fair assessments based on what we've seen thus far. That said, I think Kemerer is going to emulate Cory Clark and rock the house with an NCAA championship (with his shoulder brace on). I'm predicting Kem being on a mission this year and bringing home the gold.
He has looked good this year but I will reserve judgment until he faces a top 10 opponent. His best win is Lewis Fernandes of Cornell and he only won 5-0. He gets Parris on Jan 21 and Cass on Jan 28. Then gets Orndorff from Ohio St and Lance from Nebraska on Feb 4 and 6.
Wise on your part, my friend. Again, I was frustrated that he and Shultz didn't get it on, and hope that during B10 play these guys all go at it. I never know who's sick, injured, etc., but am pissed when the hammers don't come out to play.
Their 4 returning champs are 80-100 pts alone.
That dual on Jan 21st between Penn state and Michigan is going to have so many “ducks” it’ll be crazy. Just a hunch. Two teams that like to rest starters as often as possible lol.
I guess we’ll see what goes down during the upcoming duals. As I’ve told others, I hope I’m wrong.
I agree. Just don’t understand. He got smoked by gable parris schultz and cass last year. Don’t understand why you believe that!
I’m pretty sure Kerk was the only person to take Gable down last year. When he’s healthy he’s incredible. It’ll be very interesting when he wrestles Cass this year without Cass having as much of an added weight advantage.
That’s fine. He got majored by cass and parris. Him and gable know each other. And Schultz beat him 14-8. He hasnt wrestled a top ten guy this year!!
What’s that mean? I know and I watched it. Wasn’t close either. And they are at two totally different weights
Never mind took that wrong. Thought you were agreeing the penn st guy!! My bad he hasn’t said nothing since
Bartlett and Murin are both tough guesses for me. I agree with you on either being possible to breakthrough, I just don’t see it being Bartlett. He’s tiny for the weight and is always one takedown away from getting beat. Can’t keep getting lucky. Murin has the size and horsepower to win matches Bartlett doesn’t in my opinion.
I actually said this to one of my guys today. I think it’s very possible either Cass or Kerk knock Parris off at some point.
Is Cael supposed to wrestle Beard over Dean at 197 because Beard was there first ? When Dean decided to come to PSU knowing he was gonna have to earn the spot ?
Or was he supposed to say no thanks we’re good at 125 when Drew Hilderbrandt contacted Casey Cunningham over the summer expressing interest in wrestling his last year of eligibility at PSU for a chance to win a title ?
Come on fella, a coaches job is to do everything he can to win. TNT are doing the same thing as we speak, and that’s great for wrestling and us fans.
What has given you this indication? Parris has majored/pinned everyone not named Gable over the last like 18 months. Am I missing something? Tony hasn't shown that he's made the strides to beat Parris, imo.
174 is sick - top 4 have all been in the finals, plus 2 champs.
Has there ever been 2 consecutive weights in history tougher than 165 and 174 this year ? I think you could pretty easily say between the 2 weights 8 different guys could win it.
