5 Badgers Ranked
#11 125 Eric Barnett
#23 157 Garrett Model
#22 174 Jared Krattiger
#10 184 Christopher Weiler
#13 285 Trent Hillger
with this said and the look ahead to the Big Ten is this the line up and seeding:
125 Barnett so 6 (plus 4 from last year at this weight) {record in big ten 4-2}
133 Burwick f 8 (-5) {3-4}
141 Dentino so 12 (-8) {0-6}
149 Sbrock so 11 (-3) {2-5}
157 Model j 6 (+2) {3-4}
165 Otto f 12 (+/-) {0-6}
174 Kratty so 7 (+4) {4-2}
184 Weiler se 2 (+5) {5-1}
197 Saleme so 13 (+/-) {1-6}
H Hillger j 7 (-2) {2-3}
overall that is a -3
It would be good to get Dow {1-1} in the line up but I don't see where and have to wonder if PC {0-2 at H}goes at 197
I would consider Bahr at 165 if I was the coach. He is wrestling really tough.

Really good to see him back to full strength! We have some good guys in that 65-74 area. Too bad one can't get down and one up to 97 until Amos gets going next year. Harris you have good insight what do you see the line up being for the Ten's and for next year?

I just really like the way Bahr is wrestling. Bahr moving up to 165 for the Big Ten's makes sense. If Dow could get back down to 165 he would be a beast as well but he seems to have grown out of that weight. Dropping down may take too much out of him.
I agree with you on Christensen at 197 but don't know if he can make the cut as well. It seems like the Badgers are just a little bunched up at certain weights right now which is unfortunate.
I was also expecting more out of Trey Escobar at 141 this season.
I like what I am seeing out of Rotondo this year. He really struggled when he first got to Madison but seems to have put on some muscle and gained some confidence back making him a great training partner for Barnett. I love how Barnett is wrestling and am really happy to see him get some national recognition.
As for next year, I just can't wait for Evan Wick to get back. He is looking much stronger in the matches I have seen this year and I think his leadership and experience are critical for next season with the new recruits plus he just seems to be an all around good guy. I think he is wrestling Tyler Berger on Wednesday in Underground 4.
