All solid points. I do think PS has a very good team , though young. What I have witnessed over the years is that their young wrestlers seem to get better as March approaches. They make adjustments and seem to peak at NCAAs. They seem to learn from season losses , adjust and beat opponents they previously lost to. Ton of examples of that. I think Van Ness, Haines and Facundo fall in that column. this year, They are young and talented and still learning. Agree that 165 is a tough class this year. I think all of them could AA. As we all know anything can happen NCAAs. Upsets, surprises, etc. So we will see. I dont think it will be that close this year. Iowa will definitely win 125 and has a good shot at 141. Murin wrestling his best right now and should finally AA along with Kennedy and Cass. Warner is a mystery and the rest of the team is solid but not necessarily shoe ins to AA. Seibrect is a nice revelation this year for Iowa, just don.t know how he will do at NCAAs.
I do think Haines is the real deal and has a legitimate shot at 157. No clear favorite at 157, He totally dominated Model earlier this year and dominated Gallagher last night. If he doesn't win it , then i think he AAs. Kerk has a shot as well win it all. Just depends which Kerk shows up. I think the rest of the NCAA champs repeat, but as we know it is a tough tournament and anything can happen. It is a great sporting event.
