Hopefully he’s on Parker’s side so Ian can kick his ass early and not make the finals
Yeah I'd want Gfeller as close to weigh-in's as possible. He's talented for sure, but my understanding is that 141 is one tough pull for him. Ian would melt him right off the scale. Regardless, I like Ian in that match up. He's got the right style to keep position and stay out of the spots where Gfeller is dangerous, then allow his pace/pressure to take over late and gas him out.
Brackets are out. Still unofficial until Friday night, in case someone has to be replaced between now and then.

IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference released the 10 brackets for the Big 12 Wrestling Championship on Wednesday afternoon. In total six Iowa State wrestlers were
125: No. 7 Kysen Terukina (BYE)
133: No. 7 Zach Redding (BYE)
141: No. 1 Ian Parker (BYE)
149: No. 5 Jarrett Degen vs. Kyle Parco (Fresno State)

197: No. 6 Marcus Coleman vs. Nick Villarreal (Fresno State)
285: No. 1 Gannon Gremmel vs. Chase Trussell (Utah Valley)
Someone can fact check me but wtf. Okie st got like one first round bye. Seems like some stinky, team point bs to me.
Will there be any reseeding potentially? Or are the only chances for changes to these brackets last minute replacements?
125 - Kysen has his work cut out for him, but I think he can qualify from here
133 - I believe Redding has the ability to make the finals with this draw
141 - With Gfeller opposite, Ian should coast to the finals
149 - Avenge the loss to Lara and get Boo in the semis, would be a good match to see where Jarret really is at
157 - Will blow through the field
165 - Excited to see if Judge can get the job done and qualify, he's right there with everyone not named Wittlake in this bracket IMO
174 - Draw makes me nervous with his recent performances, Hastings then Mantanona, if he's not ready to go it could be a short weekend
184 - I think Sammy is rounding back into shape/form, I'll take him to beat Keckeisen the 2nd time around and then win the damn thing
197 - Hard to know what to expect here, I don't really see him beating his seed but maybe he could sneak 5th from Woodley?
285 - Anything less than winning this would be a disappointment

Boy, making the finals at 33 and 84? Sign me up for that.
The only thing that would change seeding now is if one of the seeded guys is subbed out. If a non-seeded guy is subbed out, I think it's just a straight replacement on that line.

CFTV: Dresser, Parker, Carr and Gremmel preview Big 12 Championships
Head coach Kevin Dresser and team previewed the upcoming Big 12 Championship on March 5-6. https://youtu.be/DU2d_O7Mpj4 https://youtu.be/oNhGAKyN8f0 https://youtu.be/6cBEoaUb5q0 https://youtu.be/pOa_pBR4qaw

They were not part of the seeding this year (different than previous years), and haven't ever officially been part of bracketing/draws to my knowledge.
You could tell listening to Big G that even the team knows what a joke it is that OSU has 9 first round matches.
This only tells part of the story. Unseeded guys are guaranteed a first-round match. That's why Fresno has 8 -- all 8 of those are unseeded.
The issue is how many seeded wrestlers got first-round matches.
Oklahoma State 89% (8/9)
Wyoming 63% (5/8)
Air Force 63% (5/8)
West Virginia 60% (3/5)
Utah Valley 60% (3/5)
Iowa State 56% (5/9)
UNI 50% (3/6)
Northern Colorado 50% (3/6)
Oklahoma 25% (2/8)
SDSU 25% (2/8)
NDSU 17% (1/6)
Fresno 0% (0/2)
That’s flat out criminal. I’d be throwing in a brick if I were OU or the Dakotas.
