Does this assume some combination of Ono/Blaze for the dual, as Desmond is the only wrestler with any starting potential entered?

I guess we'll see how Desmond does against some legit competition around 141ish. I am of the opinion that he's much better off at 133 (he's just too small for 141, at least he was last season), but love how he wrestles.

Curious: how tall is Nate versus Beau?
I always thought Beau’s length translated better to 133, but it is hard to argue his results.

Everybody seems to forget that Desmond beat Ragusin at Michigan last year. With the extra time to bulk up i think he would be a very good 141 pounder. He started that year at 125.

I like Nate and hope he does well —- best guy should go whoever that is. Just keep in mind Ragusin was a non-qualifier at NCAA last season — not same guy as earlier in career.

TBH Ragusin was a shell of himself last year. Not dismissing that it was a solid win for Desmond.
