We have Nebraska and Iowa on the schedule and tried to get Penn State, plus Ohio State or Virginia Tech at NDI and who knows who else.
Oklahoma State had the toughest dual schedule last year and we will have the toughest schedule this year.
Last year we could've won in a dual as well. Favorites at 133, 141, 157, and 285. 149 was a tossup. Swiderski wins and it's 5-5. Sergio pins Braeden Davis to give us the bonus advantage. Not likely, but possible.
Good questions. The kidney issues supposedly came when he tried to cut to 57.
In a recent interview, Ono said himself he doesn't know why he never wrestled folkstyle. He could have at least wrestled unattached in some opens.
5 for 5 will help Ono with the grind aspect. He won't have to wrestle a full season of weight cuts. They can send out the backup as much as they want against lesser competitions so he's fresher at the end.
