#6 Wrestling shuts out Indiana, 43-0
The #6 ranked Wolverine grapplers posted their second straight shutout of the season today down in Bloomington in the B1G opener.
Indiana was doomed from the very beginning, having one ranked wrestler versus Michigan who has wrestlers ranked in every weight class but 141, 149 and 165.
Indiana's lone ranked wrestler was at 141, and Michigan's Sal Profaci upset him, 6-4.

Oh, come on....cool people don't have conversations with themselves, unless they are the only cool person in the room, but most prefer to drink silently in the corner then.

I have a friend who wrestled for Illinois and eats and breathes the sport. He says that Michigan is looking really good this year. Look out for some NCAA individual championships and maybe the the team championship.

On the most optimistic side, I think they could have 7 all-Americans and finish 3rd at NCAAs. Massa is probably the best chance to win an individual title. Coon might be the best wrestler on the team, but as others have mentioned, Ohio State has maybe the best wrestler alive on their team. Not many college teams have an Olympic champ on their active roster. It'll be a race between OSU and PSU for the title, but I won't be surprised if Michigan is 3rd.
Recruiting class does look amazing though. They have 3 of the top 12 recruits overall led by Joey Silva (#3 overall recruit)
Also, just to clarify my comment last night on wishing Skatzka had been the one win for Indiana: I coach wrestling. He was a 4x champ out of our program. I love Michigan, but the home town team comes first.
