Thank you for this excellent summary and for the wrestling articles...love them!

Based on these results what looks like our lineup for 2022-2023 with the obvious spots for 4 returning champions and a heavyweight! Thanks

 

[derks]

No inside info but here are my best guesses:
125--Howard
133--RBY
141--Bartlett
157--Haines if he can make that weight
165--Facundo
174--Starocci
184--Brooks
197--Dean
Hwt--Kerkvliet

133--RBY

157--Haines if he can make that weight
165--Facundo
174--Starocci
184--Brooks
197--Dean
Hwt--Kerkvliet

you omitted 149.

No inside info, but here are the top competitors for each class:

125: Howard, Gary Steen, Baylor Shunk -- probably Howard, unless his shoulder gives him issues
133: RBY
141: Bartlett
149: Van Ness
157: Barraclough, Joe Lee, Aurelius Dunbar, and Levi Haines -- long-term, Haines seems to have the best high-end potential, but all 4 are talented. This may not be settled until the last month of the season
165: Facundo, Matt Lee -- another class that may not be settled at the beginning of the season
174: Starocci
184: Brooks
197: Dean
285: Kerk

What a gauntlet from 174 - 285. Well actually the entire lineup is quite a gauntlet.

Ha, you took the words right off my finger tips.

Don't see Matt Lee beating Facundo. Also no need to pull Haines shirt unless someone gets hurt.

Don't see Matt Lee beating Facundo. Also no need to pull Haines shirt unless someone gets hurt.

Although I’d love to see Levi on Day 1 (I think he’s ready), if Barraclough or Lee aren’t winning in the Fall, I’d expect to see Levi at the Scuffle, and assuming he kicks a$$, I’d expect Cael to pull the shirt.
