like was mentioned by HokieFlyer, there are numerous unknowns to me for this years team. My overall comparison to last year are as follows (this was a very quick off the top of my head assessment), although I am definitely less optimistic than others on this board talking about podium, just don't see that. I think VT takes a slight step back this year in NCAAT final results and may finish outside of Top 10. We shall see but it will be exciting.

125: Norstrem is back but Prada may have beat him out. My guess is about the same for VT at this weight. 50 to 60% winning percentage and a borderline NCAAT qualifier.

133: Hard to say here. Myers beat Gus last year but that doesn't necessarily mean a lot. Myers was just okay in Hokie Open so we need more matches to grade. My guess is about the same as Gus during the year (probably not an ACCT champ though) but hopeful for a better NCAAT result.

141: Mitch Moore will have his ups and downs. A slight down grade versus last year.

149: Not sure I see a lot of improvement from Blees. About the same results.

157: Should see some improvement here if BC can stay healthy. Borderline NCAAT qualifier in my opinion.

165: Probably a downgrade here. I am expecting good things from Lewis but NCAA competition is a significant upgrade over some of the freestyle competition he had. He was just okay last week. Maybe just an adjustment period from free to folkstyle. I might want to see more aggression from here, but he does have great defensive skills. Should win ACCT and get to at least R12 in NCAAT with more upward mobility possible.

174: Upgrade here with McFadden. ACCT champ with high AA aspirations.

184: About the same as last year for ZZ. NCS' Reenan is going to be a tough out in ACCT.

197: downgrade here and somewhat of an unknown as we haven't see Sleigh yet.

285: Upgrade here with Borst and Miller. ACCT and NCAAT upgrade for sure if Miller gets back fully healthy.
