My thoughts
125 Latona v Camacho - Toss Up
133 Myers v Trombley - Solid VT
141 Gerardi v Wilson - Solid NCS
149 Andonian v Leitten - Solid VT
157 Brady v Hidlay - Solid NCS
165 Lewis v Bullard - Solid VT
174 Howard v Bullard - Solid NCS
184 Bolen v Hidlay - Slight VT
197 Smeltzer v Reenan - Slight NCS (assuming Reenan still struggles with injuries)
Hwt Borst v Wilson NCSU - Slight NCS
I think six weight classes have solid favorites (3-3). I think the other matches will be highly competitive with Reenan being the wildcard. He has AA talent but hasn't been able to stay healthy throughout his college career.
Robie and Pop should agree to start the dual at 133 and let chaos reign with the final four matches.
Most Hokies will disagree with me at 125 and put VT slight favorite. Sam handily beat Camacho in December/January and has significant frame advantage. I just can't discount Camacho's development in February and the ACCT against Mueller.
The dual should add to the growing rivalry with two marquee match ups at 125 and 184. Hidlay v. Bolen is already the best rivalry in the ACC. Latona v. Camacho will escalate their rivalry next year. [Post edited by VTDante at 07/28/2020 11:18AM]
