I'd bet on 5 and hope for 6-7
But there are no guarantees. Joey getting bounced early last year is a perfect example of how tough this tournament can be. When scores are low, anything can happen. But the guys are wrestling well. I am most confident about:
Dance - last year's disappointment will provide extra motivation. Real chance to be a finalist and win it all.
Walz - Solid chance to be a finalist
ZZ - Consistently wrestling at a very high level for a while now. Could be a major surprise to the rest of the nation (but not us).
Epperly - When he's aggressive, he is one of the best in the country.
Chisko - Only down this far on my list because 141 is loaded this year. But he is a legit talent.
Haught - Very capable of AA, even top 5, but bigger guys tend to score less and then close matches can swing either way. Needs to keep the motor going non-stop.
Brascetta - All the talent in the world and should be top 5. But the knee. Really pulling for him.
