Several matches are going to be nail biters. They might have bonus on their side in a couple of matches, maybe 125, 157, 165, but our guys in those slots haven't been giving up bonus. Hildebrandt, for instance has only ever given up bonus to Spencer Lee (2x) and Seabass. Suriano has bonused three guys in his entire career ranked higher than 20. Is he that much better now?
I ain't skeered.
Happened the last time they wrestled. Admittedly, in Freestyle—but I call it a toss up—as I do this dual
While on paper, and based off last year's result it would not seem likely - Kerk winning will not surprise me.

Suriano major over Hildebrandt? I can't see Suriano initiating that volume of offense against a quality kid.
He majored Heinselman last night. Drew beat Malik in SV in 2019. Transitive property, etc, but I think a major is within the realm of possible. I imagine the atmosphere at the dual is going to be a factor--not Carver/Rec levels, but still something that could edge some of these bouts toward bonus/upset.
Suriano looks real strong. Wish we could have seen him vs Spencer this season. I think Karchla would have handled Cam Amine. Brucki doesn't scare me vs Dean. I think A Brooks vs M Amine is basically a toss-up but Aaron will find a way. I like us in the Dual, though it will be close. In a tournament, we beat them with a bit more of a comfortable margin.
If he could finish a TD consistently against top competition... but I've yet to see it, so no he shouldn't have.
Should've as much won an NCAA D1 football championship. I hear tell (too often) he was a helluva quarterback in HS in Ohio.
Romero and Amine are both "lul you to sleep and hit you with some impressive quick-twitch" type guys. Amine's skill with his quick-twitch is a level above though. I think Aaron's pressure will be the difference. If not in the dual, then in the postseason. But I tenatively think Brooks wins 3x.
I like us at 133, 141, 174, 184, and 197.
I like our chances of taking at least one of 149 or 285.
That would be enough on paper.
At this point, though, still a fair amount of uncertainty about who will be wrestling. Berge, Cam Amine, and Storr are all question marks. Though, I’m not so sure Storr is still a better option than Mattin, anyway. This dual will be an excellent test of Bartlett’s mettle.

Mattin and Beau are stylistically very close--both preportedly much stronger than they look, and very positionally sound. Beau is a quicker athlete though.
Have to think Mattin has the leverage advantage, though. An intriguing matchup that has every indication of being a nailbiter.
Beau had no trouble with Mattin in their extra match at the dual last year.
Ah, but the real measure is performance vs. Sasso. 😉

Ragusin is tough but is not there yet. He just got took to the woodshed by McGee, RBY smokes him. Wouldn’t be surprised if Kerk pulls it out against Parris so hope I’m wrong there.

But I could see Lee ragdolling micic if he isn't up to par. I'm picturing a gassed micic in the third praying for it to be over
Lee’s absence has me concerned a bit. His tank may also reduced.
Have never heard a wrestling match referred to in that way. Have heard "wrestling dual meet" or just "wrestling dual" or "wrestling match", but never "wrestling meet".
He did beat him last year freestyle, don’t count him out!
Not going to get into an extended banter, but I have:
“TYPES OF MEETS
- Dual A dual is any head to head match between two schools. Conference meets are generally duals.
- Tri or Quad A tri meet and a quad meet involve three or four teams at the same event. Each team will wrestle two separate matches at a tri or quad.”
Freestyle results generally convert well at HWT - Neutral Offense is hugely important in close HWT matches.
Again, have never heard of a "dual meet", which is what the upcoming Michigan-PSU match is (or Tri or Quad Meet for that matter), merely referred to as a "wrestling meet".... a "wrestling dual meet", yes or a "wrestling match", but have never heard of a "wrestling dual meet" refered to as simply a "wrestling meet" - maybe as simple as the region of PA I'm originally from (NW PA - a very well known wrestling area), but nobody would refer to such an event as simply a "wrestling meet". "Track Meet" -yes. "Swimming Meet", yes. But have never heard "Wrestling Meet" without the "Dual" placed in front of meet when two teams are facing each other as Michigan and PSU are.
