1) Dance getting the 2 seed was getting the respect he deserves. I also like Joeys draw. If he gets past the first two,rounds he Russell who he has handled before. Then he gets Suriano who may be hobbled

2) Chisko getting 6th is what he deserved. He has a relatively reasonable path to quarterfinals. And we will see how much he has improved if he can get to Mayes

3) Sal drawing 15 was what he deserved. He likely loses to Kemmerer in 2nd round and will have to Get through wrestlebacks to AA. He will have to pull a couple upsets to AA likely.

4) I thought 4 was what Epp deserved. He has a challenging path but he is capable of beating anyone at 174 especially if he is dialed in like last year.

5) ZZ got a good draw at 5. And his path is reasonable. Not likely to beat Dean is gets there. Boyd will be a handful also.

6) Haught at 4 was fair after. Moore beat Phfarr. Jared has a reasonable path to semi-finals.

7) Ty got seeding he deserved at 3. I think he gets to semifinals. It will be a toss up between him and Med. if he beats it is Snyder on Saturday night.


Can't wait to go to St.Louis. I think Dance , Epp, and Walz all have a reasonable shot to get to Saturday night. Though it will be hard and no one may make it. Can't wait to go and see he story unfold. Fingers crossed for another 4th or higher finish. Will be tough like last year.
