7, likely 8, Panthers heading to Philly!
Any predictions on where these guys will be seeded?

Nationals
- Thread starter persp
- Start date
Now that everything has wrapped, there are 6 at larges available at 149,
Abas and McDougal are practically locks to get in.
I would guess the other four spots are split between: Willochell, Cartella, Solomon, Roberts and Hines.
Those are the 5 guys who were ranked between 23-32 and did not get an auto spot. It is hard to know who gets the spots but I think Finn has an argument over all 4 of the guys in this tier and should be a realistic shout for Philly

NIce to see that Colton Camacho is one of the thieves. Congrats to him.Conference Championship Week Police Blotter (2025, document complete)

I noticed both Camacho and McGill qualified for nationals. Nice to see two former Pitt wrestlers making it in.
Finn somehow moved up four spots in today's Flo rankings, to #21. He is 12-12 but all 12 losses are to wrestlers ranked in the current top 20 (Jesse Vasquez is the exception, but he was ranked #19 before being unable to go for the postseason).
Dylan dropped from #18 to #23. Holds a win over newly-crowned EIWA champ from Lehigh, and over ACC champ Hipolito. Only one loss to a non-qualifier (the SV loss to Gioffre at ACCs). Would be pretty shocking if he did not get in especially given his h2h win over Washleski who is also looking for a wild card.

NCAA announces at-large selections for 2025 Division I Wrestling Championships
The NCAA announced the 46 at-large selections for the 2025 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Kansas City.

Finn is the alternate, Dylan is in. Ten total at-large bids given to the ACC.
Finn is not in he is the alternate. That means if anyone drops out he gets put in. Wynton Denkins from Campbell made it over Solomon which is surprising but Finn had his chance to AQ and didn’t take it
Biggest name to not make it, even as an alternate is TJ Stewart from VT. That means one less AA in the 184lb bracket
The last time Pitt had 8 qualifiers was 2014 according to Wrestlestat. Unfortunately I think the 125, 141, 165 were fortunate to qualify and have a pretty low points ceiling. Hard to see any of those three doing better than 1 W & 2 Ls. Maybe Babin or Keslar could find a pin in consis?
I think Reece and Mac will get better seeds than their rankings. They are ranked 11 & 12 right now but I think end up in the top 8 seeds. You see that often, with dominant conference champs from secondary conferences being slightly overrated in the seeding process.
Looking forward to breaking down the draws tomorrow night. Still deciding a username for the other site 😅

24/7 Pitt site. Chris, Jim and Eric moved to that one. This site is now run by Paul Zeise
Keslar is the 32nd seed and has Amaker in the pigtail then would have Mesenbrink
Augustine with the 15th seed and has Sax of Oklahoma in round 1 and then would have Haines in round 2
Heller the 9th seed and has Hendricks from Bellarmine in round 1 and most likely Smith from UMD in round 2 and Carter after that
Stout is the 6th seed and has Dellagatta in round 1 and most likely Stout from Prin in round 2 and then AJ

I really don't like the Stout v Stout matchup
Pitzer is the 10th seed and has Bucknavich from CSU in round 1 and most likely Trumble in round 2 and them Wyatt
Will be interesting to see how healthy Trumble and Wyatt are but not sure it will matter vs Wyatt
Yeah NCAA set that one up on purpose. First thing I looked for at 197.
Wyatt is Wyatt, having a legit path to the quarters/rd12 is huge for AA chances
