    Open Predictions

    Can anyone beat Danbury? I suspect not, certainly Trumbull, Bristol Eastern, Simsbury and Xaiver all threats. I think Xavier will do well as a lot of guys who can get on the podium. Individual predictions:


    106: Rapuano (strong field should be fun)

    113: Cyr (potential Hall v Cyr and Charron v Longo semis)

    120: Sutton (crazy deep weight I could see 5 or 6 different guys winning)

    126: Jack(Hard to see him losing, potential Mariano/Smart v Folino semi should be good)

    132: Fields(potential 3rd match-up of Parrot v Fields)

    138: Mastroianni(stacked weight some great quarters, interested to see potential Schand v Mastroianni semi)

    145: Sung (Hard to see him losing, Veleas v Roberts in rd of 16 a good early one)

    152: Marshall (should be good potential final vs Adams)

    160: Angers (Hard to see him losing although Gonzalez gave him a tough one in class M final)

    170: Sousa (could see a few guys winning this one)

    182: LiCastri (Should be great potential final vs. Commander, Nanai not to be overlooked )

    195: Gjanji (rematch v Osbey not sure if that would 3rd or 4th time?)

    220: Gonzalez(not sure who is best placed for upset)

    285: Schrecengost (could see a few different winners)

    Wow. What matches have you been watching this year. ? So you have both longos out parrott out, mastrionn out ?? Lol. I would say your wayyyy off. But will see ina couple days and circle back

    sweep the leg!
    Feb 21, 2019

    @Blast double I completely agree! No disrespect Matrat but you have smith beating cyr and currier losing on that side of the bracket as well? On the other side Longo has already wrestled Charon and won and it wasn’t that close. I’m going to say another Longo/Currier match in the final but Currier and Cyr are close. Mastrionni out? that’s going wayyyyyyyyy out on an ficticious limb there. I think many of these weights we would be better off trying to pick the semi finals matches rather than the finals as crazy things happen at opens. I love this time of year!

    @sweep the leg! Haha! That's right, Matarat. We should just hand out trophies now. No kid ever has his girlfriend break up them, or have their parents tell them they're getting divorced, or lose a friend, or get sick, or get injured......Stop with your silly predictions. Sarcasm aside, fellas, but predictions are just that. No one can see Schand beating Mastroianni??

    I guesstimated point totals based on a break down of the brackets i completed. the fist number represents a number i was conservatively comfortable at, the second is best case scenario. These totals include placement points, advancement & bonus.


    Typically a champion scores about 25 points

    2nd is good for 20

    3rd 16

    4th 14

    5th 12

    6th 11


    I see team placement as follows:


    1: Danbury (110- 130 points) - They need their 2 horses (Fields, Jack) to make finals with bonus points. In addition to those finalist i think Johnson, Osbey, Leblenc need to make the Podium. If O'dell/Agosto can make make the podium, that just adds to the lead. Any non placers that get a win keeps Danbury ahead, but you never know....


    2: Xavier (88-98 points) - I'm not sure how so many are overlooking this team. I think they have finalist at 106, 145 and 170... with a strong possibility of 285 and 132 placing. With a few other scorer's they will be pushing close to 100 points for the tournament which historically gets you near or at 2nd place.


    This is where is gets very interesting and i have a had time making this prediction...


    3: Trumbull (86-95 points) I am going to go out on a limb and say that the 2 sets of brothers show up for this tournament and score big points. I think they have a finalist at 113, and placement at 106,120,138 and 182. The Ryan brothers have a huge opportunity to elevate this team into second if they can win their R16 and QF matches, but that's a really tall task at hand. Bringing 10 scorers helps, but they need a few wins out of them.


    4: Bristol Eastern (82-94 points) I think BE puts two in the finals at 152 and 182, and places 2 more at either 106,132 and 160. Others will pick up some wins and contribute.


    5: Simsbury: (66-74) Simsbury is young and dangerous. I think they have a Finalist at 120, and placement at 126,160. I do think they have a chance to score more points then i show, i'm just not putting my money on those freshman.... YET. I think they get some decent points out of their non placers. On a side note, How about that Draw for Bergin, i think he walks to the semis... Or throws and guillotine's everyone which is what he does best.. lol


    6: Killingly, New Canaan, Warde (59-68) Not in any order but i do see these teams with a potential of 2 finalist which would get them to about 45 points. They all have a small supporting cast that will score more points, but not enough to break the top 5.

    Johnson lost in the round of 16 for Danbury, if he doesn't wrestle back, that is a 12 point loss for Danbury

    Well I can’t say I was exactly right but I can say I’m not surprised Danbury places 7 and put up close to 150 points. They are battle tested and it shows. Great job to all athl and teams!

    Congrats to Warde as well. Their five really showed up this weekend. A champ and 3 wrestlers place 3rd, wrestling back to third is really impressive in this tournament

    I think Fields pins Nicholas in Semis, and Parrot is in on the other side.

    lol. You think bradley will beat parrott ? And your counting mastrioni out Of the finals ?

    Run.the.Pipes
    Feb 21, 2019

    @Blast double I'm not betting against Mastroianni but i do think that Schand has the best shot to beat him. Would be my finals match up if it worked out that way.

    I have to agree there! I just saw the schedule and saw that they wrestle through the quarters tomorrow night. I don’t remember that in the past years, but should make it interesting for the guys who have to make the cut for the second day vs Those that are wrestling their true weight.

    Yea this is really interesting and i like it as well. Instead of the quarter being the first match of the morning, when some guys don't properly prepare themselves and warm up, it is the second or even third match of the night on Friday.

    Which weight do you think is toughest? I'd have to go 138 as very tough up top with Mastroianni, Johnson, Schand, Ryan, Laurie, Robertson. 120 also deep and a contender

    Wow. I couldn't even begin to handicap this tournament this year. I could give top 4-5 in most brackets and feel comfortable, but I only see three with a truly clear favorite. Maybe a couple more that I feel good about picking the finals match up.

    Marshall and Zukermann out in quarters at 152, Nichols losing in rd of 16 at 132, Commander at 182 losing in quarters. All the scratches and missed weights was the most surprising.
