I am hearing Suriano is a go for the B10s, but... still 100% he is 100%. I heard flu, then I heard staph, then I hear he is fine.

I heard from folks "in the know" Nolf is out, done. Then someone claims to have seen him out running, others say he is drilling -with only experienced veteran guys. Who knows. Another med ff out of B10s??

coachsmithwick I agree with you 125 is DEEEEP! But, I totally disagree with "clear favorite". You may coax a "slight favorite" out of me, but it would not "surprise me" if any of about 5-6 of top guys won it. Who even knows for sure if Suriano even wrestles!?!
Does Nolf wrestle? How close to 100% will he be at? Lots of questions will be answered at conference tournaments!
Can NCSU send 10 to the NCAA tourney again this year (I think they will!)?
Great time of the year! I am stoooked!

When I made this post I was unaware that Suriano may wrestle. There seems to be some uncertainty that he will be ready for Big 10's. From what I have heard or seen a lot of people don't think Nolf will be able to go this year.

I'm going with 125 lbs. Here's a breakdown. The Big 10's will be brutal with Suriano, Lee, Nato, Lizak to name a few.

Rank  Grade  Name  School  Previous Rank
1  SO  Nick Suriano  Rutgers          1-Clear favorite
2  SR  Darian Cruz  Lehigh            2 Returning champ
3  FR  Spencer Lee  Iowa              3- "X" factor
4  SR  NATO            Ohio State      4- former champ(lost to Lee
8  JR  Ethan Lizak  Minnesota          8- runner-up from last year
9  JR  Ronnie Bresser  Oregon State    9- beat Lee
12  JR  Ryan Millhof  Arizona State  12- former ALL American
14  JR  Sean Russell  Edinboro        14- former All american
15  JR  Zeke Moisey  West Virginia    15- former Runner-up

Which is the craziest/most confusing weight as we head into the NCAA post season? Why?
