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.

Quote from Hank Kornblut's post:

"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."
|
Matthews has somehow already taken 3 losses this year, including getting majored by Miller from Maryland. Certainly uncharacteristic of him considering he didn't lose a single match by >2 points over the past two seasons.
Agree, Mendez by MD very much in the cards.

Per OSU website: Wilcox & Hoffman will wrestle, but 285 it's Feldman/Mike Misita/or Hogan Swenski. I wish TR would clear up what is happening at 165 with Hepner. Also how many Bucs will be at CSU Open on Sat. I would love to see the freshman wrestle.

My guess is if the dual is out of reach in Bucks favor then Feldman won’t wrestle.

Although my opinion matters very little, I think the Hepner train has been way overhyped. Our sample size is 9/10 matches in a three year period. We see a wrestle off result, and an open result and get really excited about it, which is understandable. Perhaps, the reality is more that his style is a very specific style that gives some guys difficulty. Much like I’d imagine Wilcox can be difficult to handle in some scenarios. Based on how Isaac wrestles I’m not surprised that he emerged from the wrestle off as a starter. We know the staff loves him. He’s the only spot starter in the program that’s a black shirt. I dunno. Just a thought

Since I’m likely heading to IM, can’t swing the match Sunday. Anyone want my two tickets? First come, first served.

Jared: Good point. We don't know a lot about Hepner other than a wrestle off victory (an inauspicious barometer of talent) and a win at the CSU Open. Winning those matches is better than losing them but there's just not a lot to go on otherwise.
