Another awesome weekend of wrestling awaits us, with the toughest folkstyle tournament in the country on tap. Super 32 is back starting at 7 AM CT on October 15, and every mat will be LIVE on FloWrestling from Greensboro, North Carolina.

Super 32 is the premier preseason tournament in the country for several reasons, one of which is how important it is for recruiting purposes. It's before the full travel schedule of DI starts, and there are so many stars in one gym that it makes it really easy for coaches to get their eyes on dozens of kids all at once.

Here are some of the top juniors and seniors who have yet to make their verbal commitment.

Brady Berge (No. 1 at 160, No. 7 on Senior Big Board) - Without a doubt, the bell of the ball this weekend will be Berge, competing down a weight at 152 pounds. He showed at WNO that he is healed from his leg injury to take out one top-notch opponent, but college coaches will want to make sure he can withstand the grind of a multi-day tournament of this caliber. At the end of June, Berge told us who is on his school list.

Sammy Sasso (No. 3 at 138, No. 8 on Junior Big Board) - Coming off a very solid summer of wrestling in which he made the Fargo finals at 138 for Cadet freestyle and was third in Cadet greco, Sasso is back in the folkstyle swing. He also made the Akron finals at 58kg, meaning he has put on a few pounds since then. He wrestled as high as 145 at Junior duals, where he beat eventual Fargo champ Anthony Artalona. Sasso just competed at WNO, and we saw that he still has some work to do, giving him a perfect opportunity at Super 32 to show college coaches he is working on shoring up any holes in his game.

Kevin Vough (No. 5 at 285, No. 23 on Senior Big Board) - You'd be hard pressed to find a school that doesn't need a big man, particularly one who seems to care enough about college wrestling to show up to Super 32. For better or worse, upperweights tend to get the short end of the stick early on due to football season. But Vough is slated to make an appearance in Greensboro and hopefully prove to college coaches that he is the quality big man they can count on to wrestle and not play football in college.

Jacori Teemer (No. 6 at 132, No. 16 on junior big board) - Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this kid could grow into a 165 in college. He has a David Taylor-esque growth trajectory in my opinion. No matter how big he gets though, Teemer is a next-level scrambler who has an excellent cross body leg ride.

Gavin Hoffman (No. 10 at 195, No. 22 on Junior Big Board) - A deceptively strong and agile young man. Every time I see him, he shows another level of growth or layer of progress. In Fargo, it was his ability to get to legs. Last weekend at Journeymen, it was his ability to turn, particularly in flurries. As his body matures, coaches will be looking to make his shot finishes more crisp and efficient. But Hoffman is only a junior, so this type of polishing could turn him into a very scary 197 at the DI level.

Anthony Mantanona (No. 6 at 170, No. 34 on Senior Big Board) - This is one we didn't expect as recently as a week ago. Mantanona had given a verbal to Iowa State, only to have his offer rescinded. He will need to earn back the heat he had after winning FloNationals and Greco in Fargo that he lost when he did not place in freestyle. An athlete like him, who has had Greco success, is always dangerous because he can put up points in a hurry.

Anthony Falbo (No. 16 at 182, No. 50 on Senior Big Board) - Had a rough weekend at Journeymen, but it could very well be that he was peaking for Super 32 and was more concerned with his weight cut and certain techniques than wins and losses. He'll have a shot to get revenge on Louie Deprez this week, which means another shot to show he can get out against a DI quality guy on top.

Joey Silva (No. 7 at 126, No. 21 on Junior Big Board) - Last year, Super 32 is where we figured out that Silva has a very bright future in this sport. Another title is in sight this week, though it won't come easy. Hopefully he opens up a little more against top level guys than he did against Real Woods at Journeymen. Silva had no problem showing off what kind of damage high level technique can do when used by an athlete like him.

Aaron Brooks (No. 12 at 160, No. 30 on Junior Big Board) - Here's a kid who may not have been on many coaches' radars prior to Fargo. Yes, he won NHSCAs but nothing like the quality of work that he at the FargoDome in July. He was coming up from 138, so it's no surprise given day before weigh-ins that he'll be going 152 this weekend. If the spatial mat awareness and ankle picks from Fargo are at the same level this weekend, it wouldn't be shocking to start hearing DI fans clamor for a kid with All-American potential.

Trent Hidlay (No. 10 at 160, No. 20 on Junior Big Board) - Another east coaster who took advantage of the warm up offered by Journeymen, Hidlay is still a junior. He has the frame to be college ready. He has the pedigree. And if he can put it together offensively this weekend, he'll have the credentials he needs to be considered a blue chipper.
