The BIG meet is coming up soon. It looks like all of the cards have been laid on the table by now. It's looking like the men's championship is Nebraska's to lose. They're stacked in the field and sprints. It's probably a race for second with Penn State looking strong and Wisconsin there as well. Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana are dark horses. What say you?
Nebraska bringing in the ringer Latvian Olympian who will turn 24 in April turned what would have been an exciting meet with five or six teams with a chance to win into a snoozer. That guy could score 30 by himself in what looked to be a 100 point meet, depending on how greedy/risky they get with him.
The overall theme is the top quality of the 5th year transfers, junior college transfers and other transfers.
Off of the top of my head:
Ricky West, Penn State
Lance Roller, Indiana
Scott Houston, Indiana
Dan Lowry, Michigan
Brian Leung, Wisconsin
Graham Morris, Illinois
Vanier Joseph, Illinois
James White, Nebraska
That's a lot of points in addition to the Latvian guy.
I think its pretty bold to just say that its Nebraska's to lose. With such large pools of talent these teams just beat each other up. The same argument was made last year that it was all Nebraska and look how things shook out. Crazy things happen at big meets and I think this year is no different
