Looking ahead to VT vs Cornell...


I think that Cornell will be favored at 125 and 141, let's call 184, 157, and 133 toss ups. Does VT take care of business and take the dual?

Let's assume Cornell gets bonus at 125 and 141 - nothing against our guys but at 125 we might be overmatched and at 141 YianniD probably can bonus almost everybody else at the weight who's still in college. Hopefully MMoore makes it competitive I wouldn't be too disappointed with a MD loss if he's opening up and trying things when he has the opportunity.

At 184, we two AAs though ZZ I believe is 2-0 against Max Dean, so I like ZZ getting one more win. Both have been about where they were last year. Max has some good wins over Drew Foster (who twice beat ZZ) and Chip Ness, but also some losses to less than AAers (Deprez and Wisman) so I think it'll be interesting but slight underdog to a ZZ at the top of his game.

At 133 they are tough with Chaz Tucker but hard to gauge where he fits in the ranks. So far he only has losses to highly ranked opponents, but no big wins. I'd guess he's about even with Korbin. Ironically the only common opponent with different results in Dennis Gustafson favoring Korbin.

At 157, Freddy Stroker hasn't done a lot this year but in year's past looks to be on the same level as BC. I still like a fully healthy BC here.

I think at 165 we get bonus points, but probably tough workman like decisions the rest of the way through.

If we don't pull of any of the swing matchups it comes down to bonus points and criteria, but we could pull off all 3 and continue to show dominance on the scoreboard. I personally predict the latter.
