See link to spreadsheet above, I created a second sheet for Junior registrations.Any word on Juniors? RBY? Brooks? S.Nevills? Beard? Howard? Bartlett?

@smalls103 can you answer this?
Vito is there, but at 57kg, not 61kg.Interesting that Tagg is at 57Kg. Then again, RBY will (reportedly, he's not on Tikk's gSheet yet) have Vito to contend with. Would love to see him earn a team slot, obviously--the experience could do wonders for him.
I must’ve typed his name wrong in my find. Edit: Ah, Vitali, not Vito.Vito is there, but at 57kg, not 61kg.
I may have to update if anyone else jumps in (Cassar? Spencer Lee?) but here's a spreadsheet of everyone registered thus far in Mens FS.

yep. Sorry.Unless I’m missing something, Gabe Tagg is still registered at 61 kg. His brother Julian is at 57.

Just checked junior brackets..no S. Nevills? No Cassioppi? Injuries?
Other thing I though was odd..Brooks is obvious favorite, but on FloArena, he's not seeded and has the 1 seed Plott round 1? RBY has bye and then will have Decatur round 2
Does Berge have junior eligibility left?
Switch to the "Default Pool," where you will see the correct brackets and seeds.Just checked junior brackets..no S. Nevills? No Cassioppi? Injuries?

I still see Brooks facing the Challenge Tourney 1 seed in round 1 in the Default Pool. That cannot be correct. Plott probably just has a 1st round bye, though (and AB is waiting in the best of 3 finals).Switch to the "Default Pool," where you will see the correct brackets and seeds.

Yeah--I get the "but he'd get great experience if he'd compete in worlds this year" narrative. But if I'm Jason, I'd want to measure myself against iMar and (God willing) JB before it's all on the line for the Olympics. I've seen it said he has a lot to learn about Freestyle--and that may be true; not taking the step out against Green the prime example. But on the other hand, I think the international wrestlers probably have no idea what they are in for with Nolf. Kind of like DT, I think Jason will really flummox and confuse a large portion of the international competition.I wonder how much Franklin Gomez recently taking Burroughs to the wire (JB scored winning takedown with no more than 1-2 seconds on the clock) factored into Nolf moving up now. I believe Gomez is a NLWC guy so no doubt that Nolf has spent countless hours rolling with him. No matter what did/didn't go into the decision, I think moving up ASAP better prepares Nolf for the Olympic Trials next year, which most likely is a much bigger goal than the Worlds this year.
I don't really see him being challenged much in this bracket. Remind me--who's waiting in the finals?Vito Arujau looked solid out of the gate. He's built a little like Nico, all limbs, and wrestles a bit like him too.
I believe he reaggravated his knee injury at a tourney this past winter. Was it Schultz? My guess is he's rehabbing from surgery, but it's only a guess. No idea on Cass and Seth though.What happened with Kirkliviet? Injured?
Seems a lot of good juniors not competing..especially at the upper weights

I think he thinks he wins Seniors. Pyles does too--though no one else on FRL (nor I) think he can get past Coon, less Gwiz.And even Gable..he didn't medal last year, so he won't be able to do both like last year. Unless he thinks he winning Seniors, don't get it
