No surprise, but NaTo #1 at 133, Gross #2.
Collica #2 at 149.

Cory Clark is probably going to be the 4th seed. Wish he were the 3rd or 6th. Oh well.

Micah got the 4th seed. Sucks, because he could have made the finals had he got the 3rd seed. Bo will probably have Priech in the qtrs, which could be a problem. Clark did get 4th seed, so NATO will have a tough semi.

NATO has Richards, Scotty Parker, Micic and Clark on his side of the bracket.

I don't love the Buckeye draws but Nate, Kyle and Bo all have shots to be finalists. Micah and Myles were not put in favorable spots but those are the breaks.

Actually, for Myles I basically like his draw because he is not on the same side as Gabe Dean, who is a tough nut to crack in terms of making it to the finals.
On the other hand, when he wrestled Brooks in the dual meet with Iowa he was leading until the very end when Brooks got a last minute takedown. I expected Myles to win the rematch at the Big Tens but Brooks executed a beautiful foot sweep for 6 points which put Martin in a deep hole. I don't think Myles will let that happen again and he could very well defeat Brooks this time around. I agree that Nickal is very difficult to defeat but Myles has already defeated him this year.
Bottom line, Myles has a better chance of reaching the finals from where he is currently placed in the bracket.

I like the Buckeyes' draws. Tomesello, Jordan, Moore and Snyder are all in The best possible situations. You drew away from Brock and Gross at 133, you're away from Valencia at 174, you're away from Cox at 197 and you (hopefully) get Kasper at heavyweight. Even Martin is away from Dean. Of the potential finalists on this team, only Micah Jordan has no foreseeable path to the finals. This as good as draws get team-wide.

Mike: Good point. I forgot about Moore. He has a shot to be a finalist. Hell, he has a shot to win it.
We'd all have loved it if Myles had been away from Dean, Brooks and Nickal but that wasn't realistic. Similarly, if I'd designed the bracket, Retherford would open with Collica with winner taking on the winner of Mayes and Sorenson. Not very realistic.
Bucks have six guys that can AA. They have a decent shot to get at least three in the finals. Hell, they could get four. If PSU and/or Okie State can beat that, hats off to them. PSU key is Suriano. If he can compete at a high level, they're in the drivers seat. Otherwise, it's a wide open tourney.

Clark will have a tough draw to make semi
Scrham AA last year at 125 - 1st round
Hall 2xAA at 133 - 2nd round
Red hot Micic in Qtrs.
Not saying he won't but it wont be a cake walk.

Clark got hosed. I don't love the way the draws played out at 133 but based upon results, they're defensible.

149 jumped out at me, what with Retherford, Sorenson, and Micah all in one half, and the two Big 12 guys in the other. I'm guessing that it just doesn't come into play (?), but sure wish they'd give some consideration to dividing up the conferences. Not saying that this should be the end all, be all, but sure would have liked to have seen it at least in this instance.
And yes, ditto re Thomasello and Clark, at 133.
Oh well.
Go Bucks.
