I am still waiting for the match of the year. Caldwell-Mecalf. This match better happen. I know BM wants to redeem himself and DC wants to prove his win was no fluke.

Are they going to be in the same weight class?
I thought the runor was Cadwell was moving up while Metcalf seems to be good at 149lb.

What ODH said, and anyway despite the fact that both are rumored to be vacating the weight class this year as well Jenkins (possible redshirt) and Burroughs (possibly to 157) would get first bites at the apple.

Top two returnees from each weight (the prospective initial invites) look as such.

125: Escobedo and Donahoe
133: Slaton and Gomez
141: Jaggers and Gallick
149: Metcalf and Jenkins
157: Leen and Poeta
165: Marable and Lewnes
174: Luke and Borschel
184: Pucillo and Todd
197: Taylor and Brester
285: Rosholt and Zabriskie

I didn't include Ness, Varner, Nickerson, or Herbert here since two of them have been confirmed as moving up, and then the other two didn't wrestle last year.

I know Bubba earned it with his finals appearance, but it's too bad because I don't know of anyone who is interested in that match again. Maybe they could go freestyle to answer one of the board's favorite hypotheticals.

Seeing as how Jenkins is rumored to be redshirting we may not see it.

If Jenkins redshirts, and then Burroughs and Caldwell both move up O'Connor will be the next guy who gets it offered. Of course I seem to remember a rumor about O'Connor moving up as well.

Should that happen, it would pass on to a hopefully healthy Dustin Schlatter

I thought the RS rumors were based on a wrestle off with Scott?

Those look like some truly amazing match-ups. Unfortunately we know that we will be lucky to get half of them.
