I am just putting this out for discussion. I am hoping to have others point of view.

125
Waters. He has been too tough on top and is a good finisher on his feet. He scores from transition well. His only downside is late in matches he has been ahead he has let up some easy takedowns.
Dark horse- Joey Dance.

133
Dardanes. He is undefeated and has just wrestle solid. I don't see him losing in the tournament.
Dark horse - Earl Hall. If someone can beat Dardanes I can see Hall making a run.

141
Stieber. OW / Hodge
Dark Horse- Only if God puts on a singlet.

149
Tsirtsis. He keeps the scoring low. This is a double edged sword. He is always in reach, but he is always in reach. THis is a pretty open weight. Houdasheldt has been beaten by Kindig, and Tsirtsis has beaten Kindig. I want to say that Kindig is my Dark Horse, but he has not been at his best as of late due to injury. I hope. So, I am going with Villonga from Cornell.

157
Who the H knows here. I know that Martinez from IU is wrestling out of his mind, but there is too much experience in the other seeds. I am going to go with two here. I know that is a wishy washy thing to do, but I have to. This weight is just too close. I am going with Green from Nebraska and Ian Miller from Kent State. Green is athletic and has a great gas tank. I can see him beating Martinez. Miller has a lot of different offense from his feet. I think that he will be pretty solid on the olympic level.

165
Deringer. See 141 for dark horse.

174
Evans. I think this is another close weight. no Dark horse here.

184
Dean. He is a beast. As long as he can stay out of his own way. He is too fast and too strong. Dark Horse...I am having a hard time seeing anyone past a 4 seed winning this weight. Too much experience. Soooo I will go totally homer and go with Nolan Boyd.

197
Cox. he is just to good. too strong and too strong. He is good too. He gets beat if he backs off of his offence. Dark horse is Burak from Iowa. I hate it, but he is strong enough to beat Cox.

HWT.
Gwidsolokatinasonnaowski, or how ever you pronounce it. Honestly, this is a total guess. He is undefeated so that says something. Dark Horse is Marsden. I know he is a 4 seed, but anyone that wins this besides the guy from NCST is going to be a dark horse.

I sure hope you are wrong about 174. I can't stand Evans!!!!

I like his "stash" Flashback to the 1970's
