US Open Matches to look forward too

Nico will crush him in freestyle....If he grabs ankles he will end up giving up back points. Also think Zain and Nolf will take over !!!! They are on a completley different level. Taylor may pin Dean...Don't think the match will be close....Bo beat him....[/QUOTE
spyker u want Zain to take out your Frank after all the
money u got for him to make his trip..shame on you
 
Think this is the year Dake breaks through and beats Burroughs. He has looked fantastic since going back down to 74 and Jordan won't be sitting out until the finals.

Also think this is the year DT gets a world medal, very possibly Gold.

Delgado's style is a big liability in freestyle. I'm sure he has tried to adjust but with the way Nico can get to his legs, will be very surprised if Mega does't beat him.
 
Yeah, I'll be shocked if Taylor and Nico don't win those two matchups, and would say Taylor is at least 50/50 to finish the job early.
 
Zain v Molinaro
Nolf v Green
Caught my eye because they represent turning point matches for all four wrestlers.
 
Hall is going for another Junior title but man I'd like to see him throw his hat in the senior ring. I think he would get beat pretty bad by the top tier guys at 74 but what a way to see where you are and what you need to do to achieve your goals. Dake-Burroughs- and Deringer what an education.:eek:
 
I think Cox is taking time off to focus on football. He wants to play for Missouri next season and might be participating in spring practice with the team.
I had read that, not sure how much credence to put into it. Wanting to and making the transition are two different things, but he is a multi-talented individual.
 
Too bad we won't see another Zain v L Steiber match as we did at the OTT least spring.

Zain destroyed James Green last year, so you would have to like Nolf's chances.

However, the Zain/Green match was at 65kg. Which may have been too big of a cut for Green, who has had great success at 70kg.

James Green at 65kg looked terrible in everything he competed in, he couldn't handle the cut effectively. You can't really use that as a measuring stick for 70kilos. Not saying Nolf can't win but he was a much worse wrestler at 65

2 years ago true frosh Nolf gave Green all he could handle in the Scuffle finals. Nolf is so much better now I'd be shocked if he didn't handle Green. Of course, I've been shocked before.
 
Really looking forward to a potential Nolf Green rematch. At the Scuffle two+ years ago I don't think Nolf was strong enough to convert when he got in on Green's legs. Green has great hips. I also think Green got tired late. That was folk so match probably won't go the same but Green will be a good benchmark for Nolf because on paper at least Nolf is much improved from his redshirt season.
 
I think Nico is going to have a coming out party in freestyle. I've watched him at his last three freestyle appearances and he looks stronger with solid finishes. And he is very motivated. Hoping he is our 57 KG going forward.

SURIANO IS BEATING HIM IN THE ROOM !!
What's your evidence for that claim? I'm pretty skeptical of the assertion. Nico is much older, more experienced, and has a wider range of both attacks and defense. He has been working solely on freestyle for the last year while Suriano has been focused on folkstyle and has also been injured.

All those matchups are wonderful, what a time to be alive as a wrestling fan.

Would love to see the respective strategies imposed in Zain vs. Molinaro.

Green vs. Nolf is straight fireworks.

I bet Hall can hang right there with the Senior guys right now and beat most in freestyle....

I just hope he's (Cox is) better at football than he is at music or it could get ugly. ;)
 
Any idea when the brackets get released? I'll be in Vegas with the fam next weekend and will only be able to get away to watch 1 session... aiming for Friday morning

Can I wait to get tickets at the door or should i just pick a session now?
