Crazy that they never wrestled but each beat someone the other lost to! SIAP Here's how close it came this weekend. - If Lee won his first match and lost his second, he would have dropped down to face Red. - Once they both earned all-america status, a loss by both in any round would have matched them up, or wins by both all the way to 3rd/4th, of course. Instead, Lee was upset his first match which kept him in the top half of the bracket and after AA round, Red lost to Jack and Lee won. So we just missed a couple of ways!

Wins by Nick Lee, Shakur Rasheed and Nick Nevills, combined with losses by Kollin Moore and Micah Jordan kept the Buckeyes lead from being even greater. With 5 Nittany Lions in the finals vs. 2 for the Buckeyes, Penn St is likely the favorite to win. But a Bo Nickal vs. Myles Martin match could have a huge say in who wins the title. Other factors to look for are: - Will Zain Retherford get bonus points? A major is nearly a given. Will he get more for a TF or Fall? I'd say better than 50/50 - Will Jason Nolf beat the undefeated Hidlay? My guess is that is very likely. - How will Vincente Cenzo and Mark Hall fare against IMAR and Valencia? Both winning again isn't likely. If they do, then the title is pretty much a done deal. - Nickal vs Martin - head to head. - Snyder vs Coon - the final match and one not to be missed!

Coughlin places 7 or 8 I believe as a freshman and never AA’d again. I think he was 160 his senior year and they had him at 149 at IU. He struggles with weight from what I remember.

SWINfan Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) My predictions.... 125 - Spencer Lee - really flipping a coin here. One of the matches I am most excited to watch! 133 - Stevan Micic - Kind of a homer pick here, but he has been wrestling really, really well. 141 - Yianni Diakomihalis - He's so good physically, scrambles well and I think he's on a level mentally different than most. 149 - Zain Retherford - There will be lots of paid administered 157 - Jason Nolf - Seeding was bullshit. Hidlay may be good, but he's not ready for this moment. 165 - Isaiah Martinez - Think it will be exciting, but IMAR is one of the all-time greats. He'll avenge last year's fall 174 - Mark Hall - Another coin flip. I think Hall feels like he has something to prove after losing the exhibition match before the season. Defending champ, undefeated, yet ranked #2 all year. 184 - Bo Nickal - Nickal has won 6 of 8 matches against Martin. I see the trend continuing. 197 - Jared Haught - Flipping again, but with a little history on my side. Haught has won twice, 2-1 and 6-4 TB2 this year. Decided to go with the guy who got the wins, rather than the tough to beat a guy 3x theory. 285 - Adam Coon - More flips! Maybe Snyder is that great. Maybe part of him being great is learning to adjust? But he gives up so much weight and Coon is very athletic for his size. Feel weird going against a World and Olympic Champ, but I think the weight difference is the key and it's Snyder's choice to wrestle closer to his freestyle weight. Not sure if he could be better in folkstyle carrying more weight or not, but weight can't be an excuse for him if he doesn't win. Penn State wins by 10-12 points if Snyder loses. 6-8 if Snyder proves me wrong. Edited March 18, 2018 by SWINfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweats McFurley Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Definitely thought Zain would push for bonus points, perhaps the thought of losing his final college match was there.

1prouddad Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Escape for Hidlay in the 3rd but not before Nolf rides him enough to get the bonus. Nolf had great head and hands defense to stay away from Hidlays underhook. Nolf wins 6-2 Hidlay is gonna be a force for the next few years.
