Hi Everybody,
You guys are incredible. Kansas has not announced their lineup yet and neither has Missouri. Therefore changes in those lineups are impossible. Whatever you have been pulling off of the Missouri website is just someone guessing as to possible lineups.
Both teams will be announced soon and you all will be the first to know.

So are you saying the speculation is incorrect that McCormick will not wrestle Forrest and Disney will not wrestle Madison?
I think Missouri did post their lineup and the information on the Missouri web site appears to be from valuable sources. For the most part Missouri’s lineup is as usual where they wrestled in the state tournament.
I don’t think the 7 pound allowance was meant to allow wrestlers to be move up or down one or even two weight classes. Missouri’s lineup is already weaker due to some wrestlers declining for whatever reasons. I think Forrest could easily wrestle 112 with the 7 pounds since that’s exactly where he wrestled this season. IMO Missouri could post a stronger lineup by dropping kids and doubling up or NOT doubling at certain weights.
I think Kansas is taking away from this dual by not wrestling the best Kansas has against the best Missouri has wherever possible. Kansas proved it last year by not wrestling Pyle vs. Nay and will prove it again if Disney doesn’t wrestle Madison. You have 2 of the top 5 HWTs in the nation and that alone is worth the price of admission.
I will give you this Kansas has won the last two years when I thought they didn’t have a chance, but it was not done without some strategic maneuvering of weights. You started the thread on the Missouri web site and stated “Missouri, as they have the last two years, will putting on the mat a powerful team. Kansas, as they have the last two years, is hoping to check that power with a great team of their own. This one likely will be the best ever.” This is only true if you match the best against the best.
I’m sure you know what the Kansas lineup is or at least it has been discussed, so why don’t you stop all the guessing and post it.
