B1G Wrestling Pre-seeds announced.

Michigan's wrestlers came in about as expected, maybe some minor surprises.

  • 125 - Boyle 5th seed.  Expected
  • 133 - Stevens 7th seed.  Expected
  • 141 - Russell 1st seed.  Expected
  • 149 - Grajales 6th seed.  Sorta expected.  Kind of a cluster in the middle of the rankings here.  Only gripe could be Wisconsin's Schmitt getting a 5th seed considering how he's been wrestling of late.
  • 157 - Zeerip 6th seed.  Expected and maybe on the good side.  He just recently lost to the 7th seed in MSU's McMurry.
  • 165 - Yates 6th seed.  Expected.  I had him at 5th before Wisconsin's Howe returned and since he's jumped into the #1 seed, that pushes Yates down.
  • 174 - Zeerip 7th seed.  Kinda expected.  I'm a bit disappointed considering UW's Jordan got the 6th seed and Zeerip beat him in the dual.  I didn't see enough outside of that to jump him, but, they did.  I think one of the harder weights to seed.  Best to just let the wrestlers figure it out.
  • 184 - Collins unseeded.  Expected.  Another hard one to seed.  PSU's Wright took a hit falling to 8th. 
  • 197 - Biondo 6th seed.  Expected.  Only sorta surprise is Minnesota's Yohn falling down to 5th.
  • 285 - Apland 5th seed.  Expected. 

Tournament starts Saturday.
