Pre-seeds are expected to be released on Monday, but here are some projected seeds to hold you over and give you a talking point for this weekend. Based off all of the results we have gone through, all ten of Iowa’s wrestlers are predicted to receive a top eight seed for next weekend’s conference tournament. Iowa will be led by freshman Brandon Sorensen (149) and sophomore Sammy Brooks (184) who have the best chances at earning #1 seeds for the Hawkeyes. Thomas Gilman (125) is predicted to get a #2 seed, but has an outside shot of getting the #1 seed.
