Sunday at 2PM in Hilton
Just saw the weekly release. Nathan Boston and Meeks are listed as "or"s at 141 and Blayne Briceno is the only one listed at 149. Hopefully Moreno isn't out for the season. Dante is still MIA.
Downey still not listed at 184. I'm a little torn about that. On one hand, I fully support letting a guy totally heal up before coming back to the lineup. Only March matters and making sure they are healthy then is paramount. It is becoming more and more common for guys to wait until the last minute before taking the mat and as long as the rules allow it, and the seeding committee doesn't punish it, then the coaches are correct to do it. But that said, Downey has had a total of zero D-1 matches this year and needs time to knock off the rust. That's tough to do with only three regular season matches left after this weekend. And the National Collegiate Open is the same weekend as Big XIIs, so he can't go get matches there.
