That's pretty unbiased. Thank you.
I love Carroll, but I remember true freshman Zain Retherford at 141. Beat Logan in regular season but it's hard to deny veteran experience. I think he is a definite AA but not top 4 for that reason. 197 is tougher to AA as a frosh than 141 imo.
Agree with heavy. Wyatt is top 3. Don't think he wins but will place 2nd or 3rd based on bracket. Never know wIth DT as coach.
184: Plott is really good. He is definitely top 4, if not top 2. Carter is likely 197 so not concerned here.
174: I can see Hamiti AA'ing here but he has to jump a level next year. He only scored 5 points at nationals last year, going 2-2. Low AA is my call.
165: I agree. Fish is a blood round guy. 2-3 points.
I don't know enough about the rest of the lineup to give an opinion. That said, I can see 165-heavy providing around 50-55 points.
Unfortunately, I don't see you getting to 100 next year. I can see 80-90 though and a fight for 2nd/3rd.
I’ll jump in here.
I think you are selling Hamiti way short. Right now, the weight is pretty top heavy with studs and I think Hamiti is in there…5 guys. He’s in a room with arguably, still the best Wrestler in the world banging with him.
I’ll put 100 to your NIL if you’ll do the same to ours that Hamiti is an AA, barring injury. I’ll do another 50 that he’s Top 5.
Other than that, I’ll give you my best shot with another bet or two. You don’t have to take the bets…just thought it makes it more fun.
25 - Spratley, another 100 that he is an AA. He was so competitive (equal) to everyone on the podium that his level jump doesn’t have to big to AA. TG and Fix make this guy a title contender in my opinion. Again, barring injury.
33 - this one will be tough for the youngster. Decent cut and a stout weight class. If he makes the bloods, I’ll be satisfied.
41 - who knows? Jamison is a stud, but the cut was tough and he flamed out. Again, im satisfied with a blood round.
49 - His buy in and commitment will be paramount for him. If he’s what he could be, he’s going to be fun. Again, until that’s realized, blood round.
57 - I love this guy! Straight up grit and determination with decent talent. I honestly expect him to AA.
65 - I know nothing about this guy.
74 - I’ve covered this one.
84 - I expect the same 20 points from him.
97 - I honestly see this young man make some noise. I predict he’s an AA and scores some points!
HW - yeah, my favorite the last few years. Depending on seed, he’s a finalist and scores over 20 points.
I’ll put another 50 that we bust 95.
