Dual wins and rankings do not always (often?) translate to tournament rankings. This was known to be a rebuilding year, and I for one, was quite happy watching the guys overachieve in duals - especially the Ohio State dual.

It will be tough for them to be top ten this year at the tournament, but they are doing this without their first Natty Champ in the lineup.

Despite losing McFadden next year, the next couple of years should be really good. Imagine a lineup where the higher weights have Mekhi (maybe at 174); Bolen; Borst (down to a much more natural 197) and Catka starting as a true freshman. That could be a murderer's row to match the Epperly through Walz backend of a few years ago!
