That is awesome. Thank you. Making the product more visible. I will be watching in the 920.
I like Ryan C, but a part of me wants to see how Jacob C. will fare this year.
No match for Wick at 165?

THOUGHTS:
133: ........... It really is a shame that Stickley, Scharenbrock, Covaciu & Reinhardt will be on the bench this season while either one of those two gets a starting spot............
Geez, that might be just a bit premature.........
The coaches have been pretty clear in the past that what we are watching is an inter-squad scrimmage. They will still look at the whole picture of who performs best against outside competition, who has more upside long-term, who they think is more reliable, etc.
I know it's not flashy, but I think the depth in the room is evidence of a step in the right direction. This year there were some former national qualifiers who you knew were going to get pushed/ possibly beat. I feel like that has not been the case in the past.
Thanks for the breakdown Jap!
I thought Zander looked really good. I thought he really struggled making 149 last year, hopefully he is able to adjust to it this year and wrestle at his best. I would be curious on how they decided Crone at 57 and Wick at 49. I know Scharenbrock is great on top, but hope Crone bumping up a weight doesn't hurt him this year.
I assume the battle at 141 and 174 will not end tonight. Barry will see how they do against outside competition through Midlands at a minimum.
I agree the Christensen/Covaciu match was very uneventful. I assume it is because they are very familiar with each other, but they hardly wrestled.
It would have been nice to see Konrath, E Wick, and Hillger wrestle. Wick is arguably the guy with the highest ceiling who will be wrestling this year and Hillger/ Konrath are 2 of the best recruits in a class UW just said was one of their best ever. Would have seemed like a good opportunity to get people excited about the future. Hope they are not hurt.

Yea there are still a few spots up for the taking at the open tournaments. 133, 141, 174, and 197 imo. I would find it hard to see Crone get beat out and Wick showed pretty clearly he was the best of that group.
You were a bit off on Stone though JW
