I don't really feel like going back and changing things up but if I could do it again I'd probably go back and stick Graff in instead of Fanthorpe.

The win over Gomez this spring was an impressive one.

Nah, KK's and DD's are too commercial. These are bakery fresh that I'll overnight.

Fanthorpe met Ruggirello again in the round of 12 in 2007 and won 5-1.

I think you hit the nail on the head with dennis. That's kinda the feeling I get with him as well.

Funny how Mike Grey has fallen completely off the map.

I'll be the first to admit that I expected more from him this past season after a great AA frosh year.

He just never really seemed to get going last year, starting with the brief attempt at 141. He had some good wins - National duals over Fanthorpe and Dennis consecutively come to mind - but followed those wins by being majored by an unranked guy the next dual. And while he competed in some events this summer in freestyle with so-so results, he's a much better folkstyler.

That said, he still was R12 last year after 6th in 2008. He has had ok results in the past against the guys on this list he has faced: 2-1 vs. Ruggirello, 1-0 Fanthorpe, 1-1 Dennis, 0-1 Gomez.

So while this is a stacked class and I can't really argue specifically with the guys on the list, I think that Grey will revert back to his old form and be back on the podium again in Omaha.

Of course, he might move up to 141 ...

I heard -from the same source from last year about coughlin /Kinser -that Angel was really tired of making 125 -I know he was hurt last year but he wrestled a total of 31 matches while placing 5th .
Angel wrestled 135 in high school -5 years ago -the rumor is he and Ortega will switch weights with Ortega at 25 and Angel at 33 .

JensenS

Yeah, he did didn't he.

In terms of Mike Grey, I like him a whole lot more up at 141 than I would with another anorexic year down at 33.

r.payton@att.net

I truly believe TNick will go 33 and force Grey to 41 -Marble and Kubec have wrestled alot this summer -I don't think they'll AA but might make the round of 12 at 33 .

JensenS

Marble is another dude who is ginormous at 33 though...

I'm pretty sure I read that Fanthorpe wasn't close to 100% at the end of last year after getting hurt and missing a bunch of time. That would make some sense given how well he wrestled at the beginning compared to the end of last year. I say he finishes top4 next year if healthy, but it's a tough weight per usual.
