All Americans

[Sighhawk]

125-yes
133-no, I think Teske will get us more points
141-yes
149-yes close but yes
157-yes
165-yes
174-yes if he is healthy
184-will not make ncaa,unless Arnold pulls red shirt, we make it but still no,he does give us points
197-yes
285-no,but we get 1 or 2 points from Hill

Seven All -Americans, not to bad considering the botched up job, they did to our wrestlers at the beginning of the season.

125 – Ayala -- YES
133 – NO (Neither Teske nor Shriever get past Blood Round)
141 – Woods -- YES
149 – Rathjen -- NOPE (Blood Round)
157 – Franek -- NOPE (Will get knocked out early)
165 – Caliendo -- NOPE (Would love to say YES, but Blood Round)
174 – Patrick Kennedy -- NOPE (Blood Round)
184 – Riggins -- NOPE
197 – Zach Glazier -- YES
HWT – Hill -- NOPE

I'm confident in only 3 All-Americans, and even among those 3, nobody is a sure bet. 125 is a bear, and Woods just hasn't looked himself all year.
I do think 4 additional guys have a good chance of getting to the Blood Round. Of those guys, the best chance of moving up to AA status would be Kennedy and Caliendo.
Despite his lofty ranking, I think Franek departs early. I really hope Glazier makes the podium -- that would be a great story.

Franek can be frustrating, but I think he will end up an AA.

If (and it's a big if) Teske wrestles the way he wrestled Saturday, he would have a very good chance. He's a completely different wrestler when he's aggressive and dictates pace.

I like Rathjen's, Caliendo's and Kennedy's chances but those are all very stacked weight classes this year.

It will be tight.

It's all a race for second anyway. No one will even come close to PSU this year.

Yeah, that's gonna be a real interesting coach's decision of who to put out there at 125 at the BTen tourney.

Teske could be,if he would work on his balance
