Nothing from ISU yet, or any seeds from the Big XII, but here's the other Big XII school's previews for this weekend.

Oklahoma's release
Oklahoma State's release
West Virginia's release

Air Force's release
Northern Colorado's Release
NDSU's release
SDSU's release
Utah Valley's release
Wyoming release


Utah Valley lists pre-seeds for their wrestlers in their article. So either they came up with those on their own or the pre-seeds are out there but not announced.

 

[Judoka]

Did some rooting around on Trackwrestling after seeing Utah Valley's list and it looks like we've entered Scanlon (at least for now, obviously that could change) at HWT.

 

[Judoka]

Moisey is listed for WVU at 125 and Smith is list for OSU at 157. I wonder if either will wrestle or if they'll default out.

 

[HGoat]

One good thing about adding the western regional teams is that it's now a two day tournament. Better simulation for Ncaa's. Other than scuffle/Vegas, these guys don't normally have to make weight on consecutive days, with usually weeks or Atleast 2 days between making weight.

Video from Wyoming about their prep for Big XIIs

[video=youtube;5XVWoJncgyY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XVWoJncgyY[/video]

I've been paying attention to their stuff all season and Wyoming's AD does a really awesome job with their digital stuff. Lots of videos and weekly podcasts with coaches and wrestlers about upcoming meets and just general stuff about the season. I haven't really paid attention to NDSU this year but their series on Steven Monk's senior season a year or two ago was really great. Lots of those smaller schools have really good media teams.

 

[Judoka]

Still nothing from ISU and the Big XII is the only conference that hasn't released seeds.

 

[buf87]

Probably with the lack of competition between many of the schools, preseeds are extremely difficult.

A lot of Wyoming rematches.

125, 157, possible 165, & Hwt

 

[RUNx365]

At 125 either the Big 12 seeds are wrong for Wyo/AF or the FloArena brackets are wrong. Big 12 seeds has AF #9 and Wyo #4. FloArena brackets have the opposite.

 

[RUNx365]

I have to think FloArena is wrong. Templeman MD Larson this year. No way he would be seeded a spot below Larson.

 

[Judoka]

I have to think FloArena is wrong. Templeman MD Larson this year. No way he would be seeded a spot below Larson.

Yeah, Templeman is ranked and earned an allocation. He's definitely the higher seeded wrestler of the two.
