This is as tweeted by PJ Tasser:
125: 3 wrestlers. Z should certainly finish in the top 3 at the ACC tourney, but then I thought he was a legitimate NCAA champion possibility before the season started.
133: 3 wrestlers. Mack should make it based on his dual meet performances, but he has historical;ly been a guy who got weaker late in the season, and that has also been the case this year.
141: 5 wrestlers. Since Edgar will be seeded #1, he should be a lock if he wins one bout.
149: 4 wrestlers. Mikey is the wild card. He lost to 3 of the 6 ACC wrestlers in duals, but he is capable of pinning, or getting pinned by any of them. If he is seeded #4, he will wrestle #5 in the opening round with the winner then to wrestle #1. My gut says he doesn't qualify, but he is a 3-time PIAA champ and did win against both PSU and Okie State, so maybe he is a big match wrestler.
157: 2 wrestlers. Obviously, the ACC is weak in this weight class, but Ronnie will have to finish first or second to go.
165: 2 wrestlers. A repeat of 157. I would say these are the two weight classes where we are very unlikely to qualify a wrestler for the NCAAs.
174: 3 wrestlers. Tyler should win this weight class and qualify.
184: 4 wrestlers. Hard to imagine Max not qualifying. Bigger question is whether he can beat Sheptock to win the tourney.
197: 5 wrestlers. I think Bono will be seeded #2 and be in a tough final match, much like Max. He also should qualify easily.
Hwt: 4 wrestlers. PJ will be seeded either #3 or #4, meaning he will face either #6 or #5 in the first round. He needs to win that match and at least one more. If he gets the #3 seed, the road is easier.
I see 4 definite qualifiers, 2 more who should qualify barring meltdowns, 2 more who are coin flips, and 2 who are very unlikely to qualify. Worst case scenario: 4 qualifiers, which would be a terrible result based on our dual season. Best case scenario: 9 qualifiers, with Garbinsky finishing either 1 or 2 at 157. Most likely scenario: 7 qualifiers, a good showing but less than what would usually be expected from a team ranked as high as #6 3 weeks ago.
