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.
