The pressure for a trophy is going to be real as this has a chance to be a special team. With that being said, I think most of the predicted finishes for VT guys are a tad on the low side. While nothing is guaranteed, I think many will see our guys having higher finishes than what they predicted. JD had: Eddie 7th, obviously can miss the podium but I think many will have him higher, including me Seidel 3rd, seems about right but many of us see him as a finalist depending on seed Bo 2nd, expectations are high but he certainly could win it, especially in folk Caleb 4th, this is where Hokie nation was most surprised, I know I believe he can win it or be a finalist Gaj originally had him R12, now 8th, tough weight but I think he has a great chance at another podium Nininger R16, I like him to surprise many this year that don't know how good he is, the weight will be the question Burton R16, I think again, this seems to be a floor not ceiling prediction, he is podium capable Desiante R12, seems about right but he has skills to produce even more Sasso R12, I like him to bounce back from last year's tournament, he has seen it now and can be more prepared Jimmy R16, this class lost some guys but gained some good ones too, I like him to move forward but probably about right JD's picks were definitely on the lower side for VT IMO. I'm not suggesting we will out perform all of his predictions but I like several of them to be more floor than ceiling.
