So now that UFC 233 is postponed will Askren be wrestling at the Midlands?

I just saw that they put him in a fight in March, so I doubt he wrestles Midlands.
It's nice to see Michigan and Lehigh are back in it! And it sucks that the tournament isn't at Welsh Ryan again! Tickets and parking are more expensive!
Will be interesting to see if Breske wrestles at Midlands.
I read that Nathan Tomasello will be wrestling, not sure if it will be 125 or 133.
Lee vs Suriano? Lee vs Nato? Nato vs Suriano? I hope so! Or is Suriano 133 this year?
Just some guys I noticed that could be wrestling Midlands at 133.
#1. Gross
#2. Micic
#3. Suriano
#6. Phillippi- Pittsburgh
#8. Lizak
#11. DeSanto
Nato?

Gross won't be wrestling because of his injury I assume.
word is Suriano is not either.
Nato did announce that he was going to be at Midlands.
I would love to see a rematch of NATO and Lee, with NATO not wrestling with a torn ACL. I am hoping he goes 125.

Highly doubtful in my opinion.
It will be interesting to see who the Badgers send to this tournament. Some years we have had 12 slots - sometimes as many 15.
This is a meat grinder; but, if you wanna be the best, gotta beat the best. Or, get whooped by the best several times, before beating the best.
So what our your expectations (the "expectations" post, great post by the way!!!) for the Midlands and the Badgers?
Last year recap:
125 ER BLBL
JJ BWLL (4.0 team pts)
133 MC BLVWL
JL BWLWW (one more win gets Lantz to top 8) (3.0 team pts)
PK BWLWWWLW (7th place)
141 ES BWLL (MFF) (3.0 team pts)
CM BWLWL
149 PS LBL (0 team pts)
157 AC WWWLWLW (7th) (9.5 team pts)
DB WLL
165 XX
174 JC LBWWL
RC LBWWWWL (one win gets RC to top 8) (4.5 team pts)
184 XX
197 MR WLWL (5.5 team pts)
HR LWWWL (one more win gets Ritter to top 8)
H BS BWLL (2.0 team pts)
TH LBL
1 Iowa 156.5 (pace winners = (6;1;1;5;1;1;1)
2 Rutgers 109.5 (1;3;3;3)
6 Nw 85.5 (3;6;3;7;5)
7 Purdue 84 (7;8;4;7;3;3;7)
9 Iowa una 58.5 (6;5;4;6)
11 IL 53.5 (5;1)
13 Maryland 37.0 (3)
15 Ind 34.5 (2;8)
16 UW 31.5 (7)
I'm just glad that this year at the Midlands we'll get to hopefully see the entire starting lineup. In years past, it seemed we always knew who wouldn't be wrestling and it always seemed to be some of the top dogs.
Anyone hear who the Badgers are taking? Do we see the redshirts or Breske?
Beau wrestling unattached at midlands. Posted 12 minutes ago by wisconsin wrestling on Twitter. He is expected to wrestle 197.
Well that answers one of my questions haha
Trackwrestling has not updated information yet -It does say Wisconsin will have 18 wrestlers

Some good matchups. Hillger could have Hall early as a 4 seed. Christensen could see Aaron Brooks early who is a 12 seed. The winner would take on Valencia. Breske will run into Rau early (27 yr old Greco guy).
125 Ethan Rotondo (Unattached Wisconsin)
184 Jackson Hemauer (Fresno State)
Hillger and Hall are on opposite sides of the bracket.
No they are not. Hillger is the 5 seed and Hall is the 4 seed. The winner of the 4/5 seed would wrestle the #1 seed on the same side of the bracket.

I'm looking at the 285 bracket on Track. Hilger is the 4 seed and Hall is the 3 seed. Hilger is on top half of bracket and Hall is on bottom half.
Hall is 3 seed and Hillger is 4 putting them on opposite side of brackets.
Something changed then. Hillger was a 5 seed yesterday.

It looks like Hermida, #2 seed dropped out.
The bracket I just looked at had Hall 4 and Hillger 5. There must be an updated bracket somewhere else if it is different than that. Maybe one of the top 3 seeds dropped out.
That would make his path to the finals a bit easier. He would have had to beat both Hall and Stoll to make the finals.
It actually might not be much easier, he will have Mason Parris instead of Hall, who is very talented.

Yeah, take a look directly at Track for the latest bracket. The other ones I find on the net have Hilger at 5 instead of 4.
157 Mason Kaufman Northern Illinois
165 Jeremiah Moody Iowa
Well Wisconsin finishes in 4th place. What an improvement from the past 4 years(the 4 that are on trackwrestling). Excited to see what Bono and co can do once they get a full year under their belts and some recruits in the room. If you add in Breske's 8 points at 197 and Christensen and Hillger don't MFF out we easily take 3rd.
