I’m guessing a similar lineup but I think Warner is back.Is there any knowledge of who will be rasslin on Saturday available yet?
Wilson has always been a gamer.... he let’s the fur flyCurious to know why Wilson is going instead of Assad? The interview of him I was under the impression he was going Friday night, but then Wilson went. I hope if Wilson is going its because he is best option and someone isn't hurt or sick again. Wilson looked massive and gritty!
Hoping JWar is back, Glazier was tough to watch. A whole lotta nothing for 7 minutes.I’m guessing a similar lineup but I think Warner is back.
Ybarra
Desanto
Eierman
Siebrecht
Young
Marinelli
Brands (small chance Kem back)
Wilson
Warner
Cassioppi
Won’t the “probables” come out this afternoon.Is there any knowledge of who will be rasslin on Saturday available yet?
Probably.Won’t the “probables” come out this afternoon.
To be fair they both went against Princenton. Abe wrestled in the extra match and pinned the same guy that Wilson took down at will.Curious to know why Wilson is going instead of Assad?

49 and 84Should probably be it’s own thread…..but how many weights (and which ones) could we have back ups I’m and still have a chance at a title?
For pajama night?Good to have Kem back. What about Spencer?
4 weights could conceivably be manned by back-ups without sacrificing more than ~10 NCAA team points. But it's more about the fact that at 3 of those weights we're not expected to score more than ~5 anyway. It just reinforces the fact that you need finalists to win NCAAs. Anyone outside top 4 doesn't help that much.

I think every wrestler in these rankings should be higher except the BULL4 weights could conceivably be manned by back-ups without sacrificing more than ~10 NCAA team points.

1. 149: #23 Turk/#36 Reyna/#128 Siebrecht in place of #16 Murin
2. 184: #35 Wilson in place of #12 Assad
3. 165: #93 Kennedy in place of #1 Marinelli (need to see how Kennedy does at Midlands)
4. 157: ? in place of #8 Young
His Pajamas are sweet, only he can get away with it!! LolFor pajama night?
Crooks is a tough out for anybody. That would be siebrechts biggest win to date.I don't think beating Crooks is a big enough win to claim the weight is up for grabs, but Willits is a good rebound opponent for Young. Let's see what he's made of.

I’d put money on it that marinelli gets more points then previous years.Nice research, I was about to look it up, but I was not going to guess those four weights only accounted for 10 points. I think, though, we need a lot more points out of 165 than we’ve been getting.

Don’t see it this year. But I get your point!!!I would have put money on it last year. And the tournament before. Shit just seems to happen to Bull come tourney time.
The covid cancellation year I think he would have won and this wouldn’t be a monkey that he has to carry around on his back. I’m not sure he’s been the same guy since, but I’d be hard pressed to find two better 165’s than him right now. I’m rooting for him and I think he gets it done. It’d be a good story, and he’s in need of a good story to close out his campaign as a Hawk I reckon.I’d put money on it that marinelli gets more points then previous years.
Before the Princeton meetWhen did Assad wrestle in an extra match??
Like way before? Are they running extra matches before Duals this year? When?Before the Princeton meet
I think Assad’s match was 20-30 minutes prior to the dual from what I saw on Twitter.Like way before? Are they running extra matches before Duals this year? When?

Someone in the know can correct me if I'm off base, but I understand it as the competing teams basically decide between themselves if/when/how many extra matches occur.
No idea on the restrictions(redshirt) or how they count toward official records...
I feel bad for the gas tank, well not really! Big Tone will not be smiling!Looking forward to Big Tony bouncing back against Gas Tank Gary
