I don't think there's much to predict for it, it will either be 3 or 4 and we will face Nebraska or Iowa in the semis

Cornell is going to be a bad team 1st semester. And I really wish they would hold Meyer out the whole year. Have 2 years with that great class that is shirting.

Diakomihalis, Cornella, Fernandez and Shapiro are all out until 2nd semester.

I saw somewhere on Twitter that Shapiro will be on a pitch count this season and it’s unlikely we see him at national duals. Real bummer but still a lot of great potential matchups if the Pokes can wrestle to seed (or better).

Does the entirety of National Duals count as one “event” when it comes to Dee’s redshirt? Or does each individual dual count as one? I know individual tournaments only count as one.

I think one event but I don’t think Dee is redshirting. At least not this year.

Willie pointed out that if OSU makes it to the finals, Facundo will have an insane set of likely opponents along the way:

#3 Simon Ruiz (Cornell)
#6 Matty Singleton (NC State)
#2 Patrick Kennedy (Iowa)
#4 Chris Minto (Nebraska)
Click to expand...
Still weird to me people tried to downplay this event. I know I am dumb but I think more great wrestling is great for wrestling. We are going to get a ton of marque matchups.

Let’s say Osu wins and gets the 200,000, do you know how the money will be divided up? Each wrestler that participated in the duals gets a share? Or everyone on the team?

Dont forget he has Lorenzo Norman (#17) in the Stanford dual. Facundo literally has a NCAAs type run his first 5-6 matches. If we do see Tosu he then has #10. Dude will be tried by FIRE his first week on the mat in orange!

I sure hope so. What I AM nervous about are people ducking or wrestling alternate wrestlers once the dual has been decided. I sure hope most of these big matches go. I also hope DT is more JS than Cael philosophy and has the wrestle anywhere, anytime mentality.

There is a team motto…”Say When”

So I’m going to lean on JS philosophy. Also, they are hyper focused on health and RPI at the same time.
