Tough one.  Super 32 is a different animal compared to Fargo because it is folk style so those top guys that maybe aren't great in freestyle show no such weakness in this tournament.   Fargo allows more surprise medalists IMO.

Hilton is the easy one but even he is no guarantee.  

Norman is dark horse for sure.   

Mason Jakob taking the step up to the HS ranks so I'm not sure how he will do as a freshman.  

As far as who should have been seeded and wasn't, none that I can see.

Paradice gets an alt seed despite losing to Desselle 3 times in the last two months. There's a snub.

It would appear that Desselle has been added as an ALT seed at 138

I would focus more on winning Super 32 than being concerned about seeds.  The college coaches know who they want to recruit.

Where they land on the bracket is still important. It would suck for a fargo AA who has a shot at making a great run catch the 1 seed right out the gate.

So basically the difference between second and third.

If I have to explain why seeds are important and where you land on a bracket of 100 kids is important then maybe you shouldn't be wrestling or coaching.

Looking at the entries on the website we have 40 guys participating. That's got to be a record number from TN. I love to see it! Of those 40, I give the following 10 guys (in order) the best chance to place.

1. Cooper Hilton (Baylor)

2. "Mad Max" Norman (Dobyns-Bennett)

3. Aiden Brenot (Clarksville)...his big win at WNO over Alverez showed how good he is on his feet which is where matches at tournaments like this are decided

4. Bryson Terrell (Bradley Central)

5. Logan Pardice (Baylor)...listed as Georgia

6. Hunter Sturgill (Baylor)

7. JoJo Uhorchuk (Signal Mtn.)

8. Logan Heckert (Sycamore)

9. Logan Fowler (Cleveland)

10. Caleb Uhorchuk (Signal Mtn.), Jarvis Little (Summit), Bentley Ellison (Cleveland) - depending on the day

 

And I agree with WrestlingGod, you're crazy if you don't think seeds matter at this event. You will probably see a good number of first round matches where you have two state champs going at it. When you have 100+ guys in a bracket and lose an opening round match, you've got to win like 8-10 matches just to get on the podium.

Well, I guess we can hope for a move up to the 15th seed so the #1 seed is out of the picture until the finals.  Have an amazing day.

How tough is this tournament and certain weight classes? According to flo, at 132 pounds the entire flo wrestling top 10 is registered except number 3.
