The seeds & brackets have been released, however, I do not think they have been updated since some have dropped out.
Keegan O'Toole
David Carr
And at least one more that I am forgetting are out. But, even without those individuals, this event will still be great.
I saw that Mendez has McKenna first round (unless that changed). Kind of stinks, but oh, whale.
Friday & Saturday on Peacock - Let's go!

Starocci isn't going to make 74Kg and end Jordan's career and is now wrestling 86kg.

Unfortunate to have two Buckeyes going in round 1, and they really did Jesse no favors with his seeding, but there's no "easy" path through this bracket in any case.
Green getting the 3 seed is a massive favor based on old accomplishments, and not even at this weight. Last time he was down at 65kg he was a shell of himself.
Kollin also has a difficult draw. Nate Jackson for the millionth time, then Cox just to make the challenge finals. Bottom half of that bracket is significantly lighter.
Traub is the 7 seed at heavyweight. Whoever had that on their bingo card when he was an undersized backup as a junior can feel free to cash in.

For some reason I just feel like this team won't be nearly as good as the Olympic Team from 2020.

That match has a better chance of happening than any of Bo Nickel's opponents in the cage have had of beating him.

Trial predictions
57kg Lee over Gilman
65kg Yanni over Lee
74kg JB goat...don't want him to leave his shoes in the middle of the mat just yet.
84kg MagicMan over Brooks
97kg a great rivalry we havent seen in a min. Cox over Snyder
125kg Parris over Gwiz
Still need to qualify 57kg and 65kg. I think 65 is a bit more concerning because of stiff comp at the last chance qualifer.

Wow, Mendez over McKenna, 8-2.
That's a big win.
Facundo over Haines, 6-0, not sure I was expecting that.
Epps over Schierl in Greco, 5-3, bummer.
Starocci over Downey, 12-4, I was kinda sorta hoping both would lose. Kidding. Sort of.

If Downey was in shape he could have won. I am rooting against all Penn State guys this weekend ecspecially Benedict Snyder who is a self proclaimed nittany lion now. Go jden cox.
Also how do the Penn state guys get home field advantage. This is completely unfair. This should be held at a nuetral site. Penn state guys doesnt need an extra advantage.

Mendez over Green. Wow.
Larkin giving Yianni all he could handle. Pretty sure Davino has beaten Larkin a few times in the past in folk. Does Davino have any FS aspirations?

Davino beat his brother. Larkin has beaten Jesse and will probably wrestle 157 next year for ASU.

Davino dominated Jax Forrest last year in freestyle 2 matches to zero so yes Davino is pretty good freestyle.

Green is an absolutely humongous 65kg.
Good win and probably the right match strategy by Mendez & coaches to wear him down knowing how big the cut is. Green an unfortunate victim as a tweener in the 6 class era.
