Stanford dual analysis

Here's a preview of the dual vs. #23 ranked Stanford. We have a lot of questions going in. Are Sam Latona and Mekhi Lewis healthy? Is Eddie Ventresca the next Solomon Chishko? Who wrestles at 141? Will we see true freshmen Hipo or Sasso? 125 #4 Nico Provo, a soph who qualified for NCAAs last season as a freshman and was 20-11 overall. Beat Matt Ramos at Cliff Keen and made a big jump in the rankings. 0-3 133 #16 Tyler Knox, a true Fr who was a highly ranked recruit out of high school. This will be another challenge for Sam, but assuming he's healthy should win. 3-3 141 #28 Jason Miranda, a Sr who was 15-12 last season and did not qualify for NCAAs. Not sure who we'll see on the mat for VT, so slightly favoring the Cardinal veteran. 3-6 149 #13 Jadan Abas, a rSr who was AA as a rFr and is a three-time NCAA qualifier who finished 23-7 last season. Of course one of our hammers is here, and there aren't many people under 150 lbs I would pick over Caleb. 6-6 157 #8 Daniel Cardenas, a Soph who qualified for NCAAs last season and was Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year. Fortunately, we have another hammer here in Bryce Andonian. 9-6 165 #17 Hunter Garvin, 10-7 last season as a true Fr. The big question: will we see Hipolito or Brady? Could be interesting, but I'll give the edge to Garvin. 9-9 174 #22 Lorenzo Norman, a true Fr from Blair Academy in NJ who Beat Shane Griffith at Cliff Keen, mainly due to a 2nd period ride-out. Assuming Mekhi is healthy, 12-9. 184 NR Jack Darrah, a soph who won a gold medal at the U20 Pan American Championships and won Fargo in high school .... in Greco. Sam Fisher should be able to handle him. 15-9 197 #14 Nick Stemmet, a Sr and two-time NCAA qualifier. With Andy, Stemmet is favored. Sasso could make it interesting. 15-12 HWT NR Peter Ming, a Sr and two-time Pac-12 honor roll .... in academics. 18-12
