Big Ten Pre Seeds Announced

So, does that mean that Brands is going with Kerr at 157 then? I would assume so since Jake is the one getting a seed. Don't quite know he I feel about that, I thought Jansen would get the go.
 
should have been jaansen. O well, he knows more than I. Good luck to all, and I will support kerr because he is a hawk and will want him to do the best. any controversy with the seeds? I dont see any just by glancing
 
Thorn getting seeded over Marion is questionable, but a 2/3 seed isn't much difference. Marion won in the BigTen schedule, but got pinned of course at the National Duals.

133 and 184 are going to be the best weight classes to watch. Both are a legit 4 deep. The conference in general is down a little it seems. Alot of teams are really bad right now (michigan, northwestern, Illinois, and MSU other than Gomez.)
 
Guys who have beefs at some of the weights:

141 - An argument could be made that Marion should be seeded over Thorn, but as CRWrestling said, difference between a 2 and 3 is negligible

149 - Molinaro got shafted here. Molinaro beat Ruschell head-to-head in the PSU-Wisconsin dual. If Ruschell would have wrestled Metcalf in the IA-Wiscy dual, they'd have the same record (6-2) in Big 10 dual competition. Ruschell did beat Palmer at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Vegas, but a head-to-head win and the only reason Ruschell has the better record is due to "ducking" Metcalf? Give me a break.

157 - Interesting to see 2 different coaches decide their Big 10 team rep at this weight 2 different ways. Tom Ryan has Jameson and Nemec wrestle-off with Nemec winning. Nemec ends up with the 7 seed (a Big 10 dual record of 2-2, W over Jones, Arliss; L to Kinser, Janssen). Jameson had MUCH better conference wins (3-1 Big 10 dual record, W over Salazar, Johnson, Bialka; L to Sanderson). Jameson would have probably been given the 5 seed.

HWT - Wade getting the 3 seed over Berhow is utterly ridiculous. They have the same Big 10 dual season record (6-2), plus Berhow beat Wade in the MN-PSU dual. The only logic I see is Berhow lost to Apland at Midlands (but later avenged that loss in the Michigan-Minnesota dual). Again, records in Big 10 duals play the biggest factor, and Berhow's head-to-head win over Wade should have trumped and given him the 3 seed.
 
The 149 weight class is stacked! Too bad they will all be fighting for 2nd behind Metcalf. I loved looking at the media thing attached to the article and reminding myself that Iowa has owned the big ten! Almost every record is Iowa's and quite a few will probably never be beaten(25 consecutive titles!).

That will be awesome. I was really hoping he would get a crack at him. I wish the BTN would cover the whole tournament so I could see it!
Session 3/3 is on the BTN. Any suggestions on where I can watch the sessions 1&2?

Holy cow, I totally missed that! Every hawk fan's dreams just came true. I hope someone gets that match on video so we can all see him hand him another beat down without any bs this time.
