My thoughts:
125 – Brendan McCrone v. Colton Camacho – Camacho lost to Forrest and West at Clarion, and McCrone beat West. I think McCrone is the favorite and if he gets on top, bonus is always a possibility.
3-0 OSU
133 – Nic Bouzakis v. Vince Santaniello – Santaniello beat Bouzakis 11-4 at the Clarion Open, but that seems to be a bit of an anomaly. As we’ve seen, Nic can drop a match he is favored to win, but I think he will bounce back and get the decision.
6-0 OSU
141 – Jesse Mendez v. Cole Matthews – Marquee matchup of the dual. Mendez looks really good, but Matthews is a beast on top. Jesse is going to have to be able to get out from bottom. I think he does and wins this one 4-2.
9-0 OSU
149 – Dylan D’Emilio v. Finn Solomon – DD majored Solomon at Clarion, and I expect another comfortable victory.
12-0 OSU
157 – Paddy Gallagher v. Jared Keslar – Paddy is a solid favorite here and I think he gets a decision. Paddy was 1st at Clarion and Keslar was 4th, while they didn’t match up.
15-0 OSU
165 – Isaac Wilcox v. Holden Heller – Heller is the favorite in my opinion, but Wilcox is so solid that it will be a 1 or 2 point match in the 3rd, with Wilcox having a shot to get the victory.
15-3 OSU
174 – Carson Kharchla v. Luca Augustine – Carson should be looking for bonus in this match. I think he might be the heaviest favorite for OSU.
18-3 OSU
184 – Gavin Hoffman v. Reece Heller – Heller is the favorite here, unless Hoffman wrestles with energy. I see a 3rd period takedown being the difference, and I think Heller gets it.
18-6 OSU
197 – Luke Geog v. Mac Stout – I think Geog is the more talented wrestler, he just needs to make sure not to make bad mistakes. I think he learns from his mishaps in Vegas.
21-6 OSU
285 – Nick Feldman v. Dayton Pitzer – 2nd best match of the dual! At this point, I favor Pitzer, but this is a toss up for sure!
21-9 OSU

You do realize Mendez is a bonus machine. Incidentally, MD's are easier to come by with the 3 pt takedown. Lots of shakeups in the record books to come.
My way of saying Jesse by MD.

I hope you're correct Hank!
By the way, my wife's uncle is moving back to Ohio from Texas and is apparently going to be a few blocks from Mr. Brisket! I've already given you my highest recommendation!

I would think that Nick Feldman might possibly be held out from the dual, based on the time needed for recovery from the injury he received this past weekend.

I agree with Bruce. I also think you minimize the number of weigh ins Hoffman has at 184. I think we see Shumate.

133 I think the kid dodges Bouzakis because he has nothing to gain and only something to lose by wrestling him again. Just like rini did against him.
285 doubt Feldman wrestles. Doesn’t look serious but at least let him heal up a little over the holidays.
In regards to Hoffman it is very dangerous to not be wrestling these types of matches. I think he has to wrestle to try an earn an allocation at the end of the year. If not do you want to put in all your marbles on him to qualify by stealing an allocation at big 10 tourney. I wouldn’t want that gamble.
