I'm usually a critic of the sports section but Zach Slabotsky did a great job with the wrestling preview. Breakdown by weight class with quotes from Koll about each player.

Koll seems very confident about the season.

You'd think sportswriters and editors would know or at least check conference affiliations if they weren't sure.

The preview for the lower weights is also dated - Mike Grey struggled early and was getting outmuscled at 141, so Koll is easing him back to 133. That means Nickerson is back at 125. Perrelli will be the odd-man out, probably spot starting for both Nickerson and Grey when they are injured.

Just because he was wrong doesn't mean he wasn't "sure."
