NCAA Preview 125 lbs

[Orangebomber]

I thought we could get the discussions started one weight at a time. 125 is an interesting weight because Eddie is an upper classman and a NCAA qualifier. He has wrestled everyone pretty well including Waters from Missouri. He has really broken through but continues to show the potential. He lost in the second round to Megaludis 6-0 and beat two wrestlers ranked higher before losing one round short of AA to Clark from Iowa TB-1 7-6. Eddie is ranked from 7-11th. The seeding and or bracket could have a big impact on this weight.

# 1 Seed - Waters destroys Peters in finals 11-4
# 2 Seed - Garrett Won conference championship
# 3 Seed - Dance
# 4 Seed - Tomasello beats Gilman 3-2 in finals
# 5 Seed - Gilman loses to Tomasello 2-3 in finals
# 6 Seed - Peters loses to Waters in finals
# 7 Seed - Klimara Won Big 12
# 8 Seed - Conaway wins by forfeit over Delgado for 3rd
# 9 Seed - Delgado forfeits to Conaway for 4th
#10 Seed - Boyle
#11 Seed - Cox lost to Rodriguz in first place match
#12 Seed - Lambert in 5th place match

Obviously there is a lot of disagreement with this weight and some issues will be decided later today. Klimara probably falls behind Delgado and Conaway but he does have a victory over Conaway.

Delgado has been injured the biggest part of the year. I think he only has a couple of good wins, but has lost to most of the tougher wrestlers.

Tomasella from Ohio State is very tough and deserves to be ranked.

1. Waters MO
2. Garrett Cornell
3. Dance Va Tech
4. Tomasella Ohio State
5. Gilman Iowa
6. Delgado IL
7. Boyle Chattanooga
8. Peters Northern Iowa
9. Klimara OkSU
10.Conoway PSU

If Klimara makes it to the quarter finals I think he will be a very tough out as that is a significant weight cutting day and Eddie is a small 125 pounder.

Yes, I have Tomasello at the 4 seed.

I could see Boyle getting the 7 due to his h2h over Klimara and his victory over Gilman. That would slide Klimara to 8 which I think might be a better match up for him in the quarters.

This is a fun weight to review because so many have wrestled each other with varied results.

Boyle's results against the list.
Joey Dance - was pinned - Hokie open
Alan Waters - was pinned - Scuffle
Tyler Cox - won 8-4 - Scuffle
Eddie Klimara - won 11-9 - Scuffle
Gilman - Won in sudden victory - Dual

Losses
Paul Petrov Bucknell - was pinned - Navy Classic
Bradnon Keske Old Dominion - was pinned
Zeke Moisey West Virginia - was pinned

I think his RPI was lower. Unless I missed something all of his losses were pins.

Eddie lost to Waters twice by one point, Boyle by two points, was majored by Gilman, and lost to Joe Deangelo by one point. But he beat Conaway, Cox, Lambert, and Moisey twice. You could be right but I am leaving it for now.
