While waiting for the schedule to come out it looks like we have a very preliminary shell of what it will be: 9 dual meets total (quad, tri, 4 solo duals)
I was just curious everybody's opinions on what your ideal schedule would look like and which 4 schools you could go without them seeing. Below is mine but I am just looking forward to the season!
Duals (4): Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State (I feel like these (plus PSU) are the strongest five teams and I would love to see them get their own weekend which gives them a greater chance of being on BTN.
Quad (3 other teams): Minnesota (Kerkvliet vs. Steveson as the headliner), Northwestern (seem to have some younger talent that I would be interested to see), Illinois (not a lot of star power but seem to have a balanced roster with 9 kids inside wrestlestat top 36)
Tri (2 others): Rutgers (Hope Lee wrestles but if not this dual losses a lot of its luster with Rivera), Maryland (supposedly have a decent first recruiting class for new coach plus they are within the same region for traveling purposes)
Off Schedule in 2021 (4): Michigan State (Foley/Howard & Caffey/Beard just not enough to make this worth it to me), Wisconsin (just missing too many pieces this year), Purdue (top 10 kids at 125 and 157 but a little less depth than Illinois on paper it seems), Indiana (highest ranked kid is Hudkins at 125)
