He is likely just a forum troll- baiting people to argue.

nah, if i knew him and still talked to him he wouldn't be able to bad mouth my eagles or gophers and live to tell about it...

Actually I think its McCauley and Mincy as pretty good shots again. (No guarantees)

Devos is a could be as no one will look past him this year.
Kelliher, certainly his chance is this year. He has the pedigree.

I think those are your best chances.

The rest will most certainly qualify and then its anyones game from there. The thing to remember as Schlottke well knows, these kids are going to be participating in the Team and the Individual competition and I don't think Jackson is going to let them lose focus on the team competition. Jackson and company usually do the right thing though and bring some alternates (that was me) that can fill in in the team duals during earlier rounds if they feel like they have a pretty strong advantage over another team and give his individuals some rest if possible.

I'd say the only sure bets are Mincey and McCauley. Devos is not a certainty..

AV does not generally lose a title after they win one.. Demaray and Laws are the only two I can think of..

Big statement buckwheat.. I bet he loses 3-4 time, unless av starts softening their schedule, he'll pick up losses for a while.

agreed. devos is a solid wrestler who continued to improve every time out on the match but he has a few losses in him this year for sure...
