I'll go way out on a limb and say Erik Nye from ASU will be an AA at Heavy's and could with a little luck win it all. He is a Jr. national freestyle champ 2005, 2X runnerup in Jr Greco 2005 and 2006, Cadet national Greco Champ, Runneup Freestyle, University greco champ 5 Jr worlds 4th Olympic Greco trials. Undefeated 2X California Heavy Junior college Champion. California open champion greco and Freestyle 2008 and Fullerton open champ 2007. Not that this means he will win at the next level but he has always rose to what ever challenges he has face and did very well. We will find out Nov 23 when ASU wrestle Iowa State and he faces Zabriskie. If he gets crushed he not there yet, if he loses a close one he might be close, and if he wins he is a contender.

I predict Colt Sponseller from Ohio State will place high at the NCAAs this season.

Nikko Triggas

I've been high on Triggas since last season ended, he's great on the mat already and thats the big hurdle that most freshmen have to get over, I assume he's managed to clean up and "de-Greco" his neutral a little bit more and if he's done that he's going to be really tough to beat this year.

I think he put 5 minutes of riding time on Mark McKnight twice last year, and he wrestled both Falck and Ness very tough.

I don't think he wins 25 or anything, but I think he definitely AA's.

Alright I will be Big for a moment and go Nickerson

Seriously I could see Sonny Yohn having a big year for the Gophers. Robles to AA and I will go out on a limb and say if Graph doesn't red shirt he could be in the mix.

Did you have to follow Robles with "go out on a limb"? Just the mere proximity of the two statements is funny.

No but I will say that the competition he faces this year will have a leg up on him.

Look for Dustin Kilgore to be Kent St's first AA in many years.

I agree but I don't think he will be the first, I look for either Bendelyon or Mitcheff to AA this year along with Kilgore.
