The Pre-Seeds for the 2015 US Open are out!  These are a great glimpse into A) Who will be seeded where in the brackets and B) Who is coming to Vegas!

Interesting Notes: At 57KG no Nick Simmons in the pre-seeds. Not sure if that's an indication that he's not coming or not seedable.  Both would be distressing facts.  

At 61KG  Junior World Silver medalist Joey McKenna going to test his chops at the senior level!  Cody Brewer registered has me psyched.

At 65KG here are the potential Quarters: Metcalf/Russell (US Open/World Team Trials Finals Rematch), Oliver/Chamberlain(NCAA Finals Rematch), Pico/Stieber and Molinaro Kennedy.  I'm speechless!

The 74KG stand out entry for me is Anthony Valencia!  He earned the 7 seed in a field that is not as impregnable as it has been in years past.  He could make a run.

86KG has this Jake Herbert guy at 10.  I know he's been off the mat, but sheesh.  Potential Perry/Winn quarter will be a dandy.

At 97KG Kyle Snyder mixin' it up with the Seniors too!  Can't wait to watch him put it on the line!
