Nkawtg 137 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 I know Penn State returns everyone who matters. But I see 2018 as a real chance for the Buckeyes to make a run with 6 returning All-Americans. NATO, Moore and Snyder will be favorites, while both Jordans, and Myles Martin will be high placers. Think about it. 3 champs and 3 more placers should win it, but Penn State could do the same. It will be epic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcat2002 190 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 I'm a buckeye fan, but the race is for 2nd. It will still be an awesome experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nkawtg 137 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Key for the Bucks is what happens at 157. Jake Ryan was nails a year ago and made the blood round. He beat some really excellent wrestlers. He was a shell of himself this season. Haven't heard why. Burcher at 165 is from my high school so I'm pooling for him. He should have been at 157. I'm not sure he can make the gains to be able to contribute at NCAAs. They needs points from just about everyone to win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nkawtg 137 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Penn State returns 5 national champs. Absurd display. Don't go double unders with Penn State! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tja 150 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Penn State with only 1 senior in the starting lineup could make a serious run at SIX National champs next year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyotto 381 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Team race should be tighter next year, but I don't see the Bucks catching PSU. Iowa will be a bear next year. Injuries hurt their chances this year. Marinelli in the lineup next year will be yuuuuuge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure who they have ready to fill all those gaps. They have some good recruits, but as we know it's a whole different ball game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
depperschmidt 140 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Bucks need to fill some gaping holes to even come close, Maybe have M.Jordan move up to 157 and fill 149 with Ke-Shawn Hayes then they will have to do something with 165 and 125 to be able to compete with Penn.

Achilles 58 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 They will not compete with Penn 2 fresh champs all champs returning and a top 125 returning as well Still a battle between Bo Hall Valencia .But its not a bright outlook for anyone gunning for Penn State I see them doing what they do feed off their success .

Chris Duke 284 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Penn St. qualifies 12 kids for 10 weight classes. Bonus points are huge if anyone wants to challenge them they better find a way to score bonus points like them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember when you said Zahid might be a little dirty just rewatched the Semifinals match and he definitely grabbes the headgear to secure the takedown just like back in the day at the Ironman tournament against Brock... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
