I dig that sweatshirt he has on, anywhere we can get that? They have stuff close on their website, but didn't see that one.

Missouri two-time defending NCAA champ Keegan O'Toole, as has been the case since the preseason.

I am not sure I agree with this ranking. I think Keegan is a fantastic wrestler but between Levi and Keegan only one of them won a national title last year. They both moved up in weight. I suspect that the fact that Levi is moving up two weights and Keegan one is the reason for this but I think a national title last season vs placing third means more.

Either way I don't think it matters because I think Levi and Keegan are the class of the weight and will see each other in the finals, where it will be settled.

yeah sorry, wrote two-time defending which is incorrect. Two-time champ is correct. Agree with you though that the number of weight classes moved probably is why the rankings are favoring O'Toole over Haines. Fortunately, though, we should not have to wait until the finals to decide this, as they should wrestle at the Collegiate Wrestling Duals when PSU faces Missouri next month in Nashville.

I did not realize they had the CWD on the schedule. While I would love for them to wrestle next month I fear that one of them will not be available for that match. It seems like we don't get these kinds of matchups before the NCAA tournament or the conference tournament anymore. I hope I'm wrong though.

Yeah, I hear you on that, but really hope it does (and will be bummed if it doesn't happen).

Generally I’d agree with you but we just had Mendez / Bartlett (NCAA Finals rematch) and Starocci / Keck (NCAA Finals Preview) in the same night last week!

I am hopeful here!
