Is This Moore's Year?

Kollin Moore has gone 3-4-2 in brackets with legends Bo Nickal and J'den Cox. Is this his year? I think so.

Beyond that....I'm truly lost. 197 has been a mess — a revolving door of question marks and parity behind a select few over the last several years.

I'm tempted to run with Michael Beard for Penn State. I think there's a real chance he goes this year. Frankly, aside from one weekend 18 months ago, I'm not sure I truly know what level Conel represents. Of course, regardless of what the situation is, PSU could think they don't need Beard's points this year and/or the separation isn't great enough to warrant wrestling him. Ultimately, I'm just going to operate under the assumption that it's Conel until proven otherwise. 

I have him fourth here but I have no earthly clue what level he's at.

Give me Reenan to place high, which runs counterintuitive to my usual thought process. Has never placed. Is up two weights in two years. Horrible postseason a year ago. But he was certainly injured, as the Final X runner-up to David Taylor the year before, and frankly is more athletic and has a higher wrestling pedigree than just about anyone in the group. It's a flyer, I know. Let's see how it goes.
