Henning almost certainly gets in even if he finishes 5th, but his road to win, CP, then Poeta, then Vallimont/Becker) probably not going to win it. Ruschell has a shot, albeit the probably the best on the team, but definately not even a lock to finish 3/4

noones saying they can run away with it, because that would be ludacrous with the talent in the tournament, top 3 would be a great showing. but "5 POSSIBLE" is a bit of a rediculous statement. you mean to tell me that you dont think they can place any higher than 8th in: 33, 41, 57, 97, and HWY. They should send at least 6 if brandvold is healthy at 84

those weights would add up to 5 and 8th in the big tens does not get you into the NCAAs, which is what at least I was talking about. Even at 49 where 7 will probably go.

i understand how to qualify in the big tens thats why i asked if you thought they couldn't place any HIGHER than 8th (7th or above). and your statement was possibly 5 so that is why i brought up the 5 weights they are a lock to qualify in.

ill give you that using the word possible is probably harsh and those 5 are probably locks, but outside of that i think its very possible that Wisky doesnt get anymore in? is it really that ridiculous?

BlahBlahBlah · 03-04-2008, 03:37 PM

no ill give you that, i wouldn't be surprised to see them only qualify 5, ive just got a hunch that brandvold is starting to get better after a 1 point loss to kish

Whoa, Bond beating Davis and Tamillow?! thats a bold prediction, patacsil getting into the top 4 at 49 would be a big upset as well.

Looking at the way you ranked the top 4 in each weight, I would say you should have tOSU in the running as well. Three champs, a 2nd, a 3rd and a couple more qualifiers at 125 and 133 would put them in the mix I would think. Palmer beating Metcalf might be wishful thinking I'm afraid.

I havent talked too much about our stud horse yet, but im going to break the silence. I dont want to jinx anything but has there been a more dominating wrestling all year? picking him third might be a bit of a stretch, it is however the toughest weight class in years maybe ever? If i had to go with one champ (please, please be more) it'd be him. Plus how disappointing would it be to have to wait longer to see he and schlatter
