Crookam's not a bad prediction for #1, but you shouldn't look too much into his beating Vito twice. Vito clearly wrestled injured most of the year and then when he was healthy, old Vito came back and hammered Crookam. That said, Crookam did take 3rd and 1 and 2 are gone so he's def the real deal.
Off the radar, Gabe Whisenhunt at Oregon State. I predict him at 8th for 133. When he was an unranked true freshman just 2 years ago, he scored on RBY back when he was still at Penn State. Of course Gabe lost the match, but lost to the returning NCAA champion and #1 in a relatively close match
Christian how is Davis the best option for Penn state if nagao is healthy. Nagao has literally all American in this weight got 6th two years. Davis yes I understand big ten champ but then he choked at nccas and didn’t all American. I would take nagao over Davis if he’s healthy score a lot points from top and is better wrestler overall.
My Podium Picks 1st Place: Ryan Crookham, Lehigh 2nd Place: Dylan Ragusin, Michigan 3rd Place: Nasir Bailey, Little Rock 4th Place : Lucas Byrd, Illinois 5th Place : Evan Frost, Iowa State 6th Place : Dylan Shawver, Rutgers 7th Place : Kai Orine, NC State 8th Place : Drake Ayala, Iowa
@@specspectacular1275 you are partially proving my point. Vito had to wrestle him 3 times to figure him out. Vito is a generational wrestler. No one else has “figured him out”. He has been pretty consistent. Everyone has tendencies, no one this year is Vito. Who remember Crookham beat 2x
