That's a really, really, really good draw for Weatherspoon. Doesn't make him a favorite to AA or anything but he's got a path to AA that requires no big upsets or anything crazy.
Beat Galli, Lose to Jordan, Beat #11 Meyer (which he's done this year), beat either #9 Amine (who beat him in OT this season) or #8 Ramos (who beat him 4-7 this season). Drawing in to the quarter that gets the 8/9 guy in the R12 is the absolute best he could have hoped for.

Hall has a path too if he wrestles well but would also have to turn around some losses
Beat D'Acry, lose to #4 Cory Clark, beat Rico Montoya (who he beat in Vegas and in the dual but lost to at Big XIIs), beat #12 Josh Alber (who beat him 8-6 in OT in the UNI dual), beat #7 Eric Montoya (who beat him 5-3 at Harold Nichols).
Good Earl Hall AAs. Bad Earl Hall goes 1-2.
He drew in to the quarter that gives him #7 in the R12. Which is as good a draw as he could have asked for.

Hall has been to the quarterfinals all 3 years he's been to nationals and usually shines in the tournament a little bit. I'd think if there were ever a time for him to shine it's next weekend with a not 100% Corey Clark who he's had close matches with before
I really like Earl and Lelund's path to AA.
Usually after the bracket's come out I am b*tching about the seeding at several weights. Can't find much to complain about this year across the board.

If placement went exactly to seed and with advancement points, it would look like:
1. PSU
2. Okie
3 tOSU
4. Iowa
5. VT
big gap
6. Missouri
Fairly small margin for PSU and thats with Suriano's points. If he is as injured as it sounds, they may not be getting much from him.
It is a lot more fun when we're in the thick of things. Hopefully in 2-3 years.
Maybe Spoon or Hall can hulk out and singlehandedly drag us in to the top 20 like Reader did.
I like the optimism but, I don't know, Clark looked really healthy in Big 10 final. He was physically right with Tomasello for 7 minutes.
Dance is 125 where I'm hoping to see him dominate Gilman in the final. Part of me wants Gilman to get upset well before that but having him get that close only to get beat down on the biggest stage would make me very happy.
