Official 2018-19 BWI Board LMS Entry Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
@NoVa Lion -- El-Jefe is correct. Kennedy Monday lost to Hidlay on Sunday at the Hokie Open, 10-7. He would have been a great pick, but alas. If you don't modify that pick, you'll be out of the competition before it even starts. Let me know if you modify your secondary.
@Lyco1990 -- Are you entering Brock Zacherl? Auto correct can screw up names. I'm just trying to make sure I have the correct secondary for you.

I think that some of you, including Tom, are too kind. It IS a contest after all, so I admire that you are helping others to not pee on themselves (picking Fix) or to enter picks that don't qualify.
If that wasn't happening, half of the field would be reduced, right out of the box.

@Ihawkd9times -- CholleyVandine is correct. JoJo placed 7th in 2016, and placed 4th in 2017, so you can't enter him. Let me know when you make a change to your picks.
Thanks guys. Perhaps I shouldn’t quit my day job...
I’ve made my change to original post
We already have more competitors than we had in either the inaugural year, or in last year's competition. Not bad, considering that the past two champions, @hlstone and @dsauer22 have yet to step up and join the fray, and @SetonHallPirate's entry is also nowhere to be seen. There's about 21 hours left for folks to enter.
I should add that at this point I have all the edits/modifications that folks have posted, but @Lyco1990 still needs to come up with a new secondary. I'll try to check today or tomorrow to ensure that after all the edits, that no two competitors have entered the same two primary and secondary.

DSauer22 doesn't know squat about wrestling ... I can only imagine what method he used to pick names?!?!?
I picked both in part because I didn't like anyone else lasting a month, Steveson was redshirting, and if they both make it through they're probably not getting beaten again until Nationals. I give Fix a legitimate chance against Gross. It was FS but not that long that Fix handled NaTo. Glory against Lee is a whole other story but I wouldn't be shocked to see Glory get an upset. I watched him handle Teasdale at Beat the Streets not that long ago and came away impressed. He's dynamic, athletic, and strong for his age. Yeah, Lee's in a class of his own, but he also lost to Bresser last year. He's not invincible. I think Lee will repeat, but won't be surprised if he takes a few losses along the way again.
From the Information of No Use to Anyone Department, here are the last five men standing in the past two seasons (counting only wrestlers who were selected by at least one person in the LMS contest):
2017-18
1. Hayden Hidlay (First loss was March 15 to Jason Nolf in the NCAA finals)
2. Luke Pletcher (first loss was Feb. 12th to Steve Micic)
3. Rutgers Male Athlete of the Year (was eliminated Feb. 4th when he missed a dual against Illinois)
4. Brock Zacherl (was eliminated Jan. 26th when he missed a dual against Edinboro)
5. Chance Marstellar (first loss was 1/1 to Bryce Steiert in the semis at the Scuffle)
2016-17
1. Zahid Valencia (first loss was March 16th to Mark Hall in the NCAA semis)
2. Nick Nevills (first loss was Jan. 27th to Connor Medbery)
3. Micah Jordan (was eliminated Jan. 22nd when he missed a dual against Maryland)
4. Kaid Brock (first loss was Jan. 21st to Seth Gross)
5. Rutgers Male Athlete of the Year (first loss was Jan. 20th to Thomas Gilman)
Michael Kemerer (first loss was Jan. 20th to Jason Nolf)
Logan Massa (first loss was Jan. 20th to Isaiah Martinez)

I don't think i'm going out on a limb saying Lee will probably be favored in every match until he graduates. Barring injury, I think he's as likely to lose this year as Nolf. The way he finished last season, I think it would be an upset for somebody in this field to hold him to a regular decision.
oh, I didn't know that -- have since seen the score.

each of you gets a gift. as the deadline for entries is noon on 11/11 (EST), you can change your selection of Pat Lugo. (My mistake for not starting the contest earlier.)
I ask each of you to make a new post indicating your selections, so that I can track when changes are made, in case any of you make selections that somebody has already picked.
Rumors are that Stevenson is not starting, and I believe that Warner is not wrestling for Iowa today. If either of them misses a match, even if it's before the start of the competition (like Iowa's matches today), then they would be counted as losses. And if that's the case, then you would be out of the competition pretty much at the start.
Since the deadline for entries is not until noon EST on 11/11, you can change your primary and secondary until that time. Just make a post indicating to me that you made a change, so that I can track when you did so. Also, try to be careful to not pick the same primary and secondary as someone else already did.
Good luck
