Reader came out last year and for a time looked like he was on his way to having the best season of his career. He finally started beating Ryan Morningstar, he ended Nick Marable's Big 12 winning streak, and he was more consistently dominant against his lower level opponents. That is what made him not making

Starting to run up into the more brutal weight classes now.

It'll be interesting to see if Burroughs spends any time as a sort of "forgotten man" during the early part of the year before people remember how absolutely utterly ridiculous he was two years ago. I don't think he'll be adversely ...

Coming into the season anyway its really looking like its going to be Jamal Parks and everyone else here at this weight within the conference.

5. Mike Koehnlein (Nebraska)

I don't know what else I can really say about Jordan Oliver, I mean I like to think my opinion is relatively well known. The move is to let him come up to this weight, the fact that he didn't cut down to 60 kilos with the more relaxed freestyle weigh ins this summer only reinforces that belief for me. He ...
