Mr. Johnson:
I think Eric does a pretty good job trying to predict these things but I have found he is not perfect in either predicting the weights wrestlers end up at or their eventual finishes.
Below is a listing of his 5A predictions from Sept 17, 2007 for the 2008 5A state tournament. You can see that he was not perfect with either weight or finish predictions. However it is kind of fun to speculate for him and probably the rest of us. I know I was not pleased at where he was predicting Jacob's finish back in September but I think Jacob used it as a little incentive to finish higher than Eric predicted. Actually I believe Jacob has come to the conclusion that Eric doesn't know what he is talking about. Just kidding, Eric.
Eric's 9/1707 5A predictions, you can check for yourself as to how he did:
