Pre-seeds for the Big 12 tournament

Since he's not seeded, he'll definitely wrestle in the first round. Unseeded guys don't get byes.
I’m excited to see how G looks. My expectations are low, but the talent is there.
The Big 12 has 3 spots at 141. If G can get to third spot he is in right? That would easily give him 4 matches at 141. Is it that simple?
Beyond NCAAs, it is just nice to see him back on the mat and that the coaches are putting some trust in him. Also, this is the first year in a while we can't just show up and be given the trophy at Big 12s. Any points our "third string" 141 pounder can give us are important.

It's the champ plus 3 qualifiers, so top 4.
The NDSU guy lost first round last year, then came thru the consolations to take 4th (lost to Hone for 3rd).
Happy to see G get a chance. Only thing I'm worried about is his conditioning as ja said.
Nice so top 4 and he is in. For what it is worth Willie posted he is at 141 now so he isn't frantically cutting. I have no idea what to expect but that makes me feel a little better. I don't think I would be shocked if G went 0-2. I don't think I would be completely shocked if he won the whole damn thing (maybe a little).
This is all icing on the cake. We had no real hope at 141 and G gets some more big time experience and a chance for redemption in a free year.
141
1. Ian Parker (ISU)
2. Dom Demas (OU)
3. Clay Carlson (SDSU)
4. DJ Lloren (FS)
5. Lenny Petersen (AF)
6. Chris Sandoval (UNC)
7. Dylan Droegemueller (NDSU)
8. Chase Zollman (WYO)
Don't believe Carlson has beat anyone of note, best win O'Brien Utah V but all his losses were to top 10 guys, Hart, Demas, Parker, Willits.
1- prelims
2- quarters
3- semis
4- conso semis
5- 3rd place match
That easily covers the 4 matches. If he doesn’t make it to the 3rd place match I don’t expect a wildcard for 5th.
You just never know what level of determination people have. If he has been putting in the work and wants to get back to that top 5 ranking he had a couple of years ago...watch out. If it is the guy that looked like he was spending more time partying than working out, I’d expect his opponents to have 4:00 minutes of riding time.
Parker and Demas will be tough to get past, but the remaining field aren’t world beaters.

I'm actually more concerned about the lack of mat time than the weight cut. If I knew he's been practicing for a couple of weeks, then I'd feel a little better.
How did they come up with the byes? The 4 seed get a bye at every weight. Seems odd.
Thats good, better chance to score team points.
Mastro's first match is against Molton (beat Burks in the Fargo finals a couple of years ago).
He started at Old Dominion, but transferred to Fresno St after OD dropped the program. Then Fresno dropped their program.

It's supposed to be.
Some teams will look at the numbers and draw their own conclusions.
Please post your attorney's phone number and email, my attorney will make contact, thanks.OK, OK! I missed a weight. Sue me
Determination is the name of the game. Hope he's got it!
Do kind of wish G's return hadn't been broadcasted to the world, though. Why reveal your cards? Sure, you could see his name on the brackets, but at least make your opponents work to find out who you're sending out there...
