World team trials predictions

[fulsaasfan]

The world team trials start Friday in Oklahoma City. There should be some really great wrestling all weekend and hopefully the former Hawks fair well. I'm going to give predictions a shot just for fun.

Freestyle:
55 kg - Cejudo over Hazewinkel
60 kg - Humphrey over Bunch
66 kg - Metcalf over Ware
74 kg - Burroughs over Paulson
84 kg - Sanderson over Herbert
96 kg - Varner over Bergman
120 kg - Dlagnev over Mocco

Greco:
55 kg - Mango over Hodge
60 kg - Betterman over Warren
66 kg - Lester over Garrison
74 kg - Fisher over Provisor
84 kg - Holm over Clark
96 kg - Ruiz over Smith
120 kg - Byers over Taylor

There seems to be a lot of parity at 60 and 66. I could see many outcomes at those 2 weights, but I hope Metcalf comes out on top at 66.

I guess it's almost official that Sanderson will compete this weekend. I think it's interesting the article mentions he's cutting to 84kg because he doesn't want to wrestle against his friend Varner, yet he'll be wrestling against Q. Wright. I think the main reason he's cutting is because he thinks he'll be most competitive at 84kg

any wrestler will cut to the lowest weight he possibly can so cael cutting down is no shock

Kinda hard to believe that Cael can still make it down to 84kg Class move on his part as usuall but geez. So jacked to watch them in Des Moines...you going Pin?
