Be surprised to see Riportella (182) wrestle. Think he may have broken something last weekend and may be done for the season.

Bradley at 182 could be a bear

Shewan - Yorkville #6
Dodd - Moline #8
DeLong - Bradley - if he's not INJ

If DeLong is healthy, then I agree completely. He would be the favorite to win.

Rock Island's Erick Cole (195 #11) has certified at 182 so he could be in the 182 mix at Bradley as well. Likely he will go 195 though. He's a skinny kid who finished 4th at 285 as a frosh in the regional last year and he probably was drinking water before weighing in to get above 195; he's no bigger this year.

195 might be the better bet for getting to state anyway. Not saying he can't make it at 182 but it's going to be a meat grinder as it is. Not nearly the same depth at 195.

Does anyone know if DeLong could be back for the regional? I hope so, dude's a stud
