Are you ready? Are you really ready? Because the 2017 U.S. Open is tomorrow, LIVE on Flo all day long. We'll have FloZone for the entire day, which runs through the semifinals.

As a wrestling fan, it's pert near impossible to look at a bracket and immediately start projecting things out. For the short term, early round goodies, we've got you covered. For the quarters and onward, read on!

57kg

As expected, this is gonna be a fun one. Ramos got the top seed, and he could see either Frank Perrelli or Jesse Delgado in the quarters. Delgado is by far the most unknown quantity in this bracket with just three senior level matches under his belt. We should also get a Nico/Tomasello rematch, won by NaTo 4-3 in the first round of Olympic trials. Barring a Perrelli upset, we will have four NCAA champs in the top side semis, amazing.

Bottom side, Nahshon gets the two despite his loss to Perrelli at the Schultz. He and three seed Alan Waters appear to be able to cruise to the semis, as long as Waters is healthy. The former Mizzou star injured his leg against Nahshon in the Schultz, but if at full strength is a heavy favorite over 2010 world teamer Obe Blanc in the quarters. Waters and Nahshon met twice in college, with Waters coming out on top both times.

61kg

Ness gets the top seed, and will have an interesting quarterfinal against Andrew Hochstrasser. Ness will have the size advantage and has been wrestling better than the former 57kg Open finalist. Joe Colon vs Seth Gross is a fascinating quarterfinal, with a battle of hip tips against the freakishly strong Colon. As the top seed, Ness is the logical favorite on paper to make it out of the top side.

From the bottom half, Chris Dardanes will be looking for revenge from the 15-3 beating Cody Brewer put on him in the 2015 NCAA semis. A Bedlam showdown looms in the quarters between Kendric Maple and Josh Kindig, which Maple took the majority of their matches in college. How about an all Sooner semi between former OU national champs Brewer and Maple?

The Mother Of All U.S. Open Previews

65kg

This weight has the top four, and then everybody else. There should be little stopping a semifinal between top seeded Frank Molinaro, our 2016 Olympian, and Jimmy Kennedy, likely the best athlete in the bracket. Kennedy won the last time they wrestled, 4-2 at the 2015 world team trials.

Jordan Oliver gets the three seed, and the only potential obstacle on his way to the semis is Kellen Russell. The 2013 Open finals went Russell's way, but you'd be hard pressed to pick Russell based on the volume of results since then. Meanwhile, Zain Retherford should get an interesting test against Nick Dardanes in the quarters, which should definitively prove if you can snap down a block of granite. JO beat Zain at the 2015 Schultz, which was over 24 months ago, but Oliver remembers very well.

Complete Schedule For Friday

70kg

The top half quarters sets up for the renewal of one of college wrestling's most memorable recent rivalries, Dylan Ness against top seed James Green. We've never seen Ness wrestle freestyle at this weight, so who knows how dangerous he could be. A similar unknown quantity on the senior level is Jason Nolf, who to the likely chagrin of many fans is on the same side as James Green. He would have to get through Tommy Gantt or Chase Pami to get there.

If this quarterfinal doesn't get you excited, you hate wrestling: the eternal bad draw Nazar Kulchytskyy against the healthy and always attacking Hunter Stieber. Winner of that gets winner of Jason Welch, who we KNOW will be throwing junk (and I mean that in a good way) and Jason Chamberlain, who looks better than he ever has up at 70kg and training out at Fresno State. I will gladly take a front row seat for that bottom half semi.

74kg

I said this on one of the recent Malicious Intents, I don't like picking against Chris Perry. He's never wrestled Jordan Burroughs, and I still think Burroughs wins, but that one would at least make me sweat if I were a Nebraska/Burroughs/Sunkist fan.

Dake and Dieringer should be our bottom side semi, which very much went in Dake's favor in Paris in January. Perry is the one guy who could upset the apple cart for the potential Dake/Burroughs final, but no matter what, the American faithful should be feeling pretty good about our medal prospects in Paris.

86kg

The top half is pretty straight forward. David Taylor in the finals, beating one of Vic Avery, Pat Downey or Pete Renda in the semis. On to the bottom half.

Gabe Dean has to get through Kyle Crutchmer to square off with Nick Heflin in the quarters. How about Timmy McCall and Bo Nickal to make the quarters? The winner gets Austin Trotman, who won both domestic events this year and has a vicious double leg. The Rich Perry vs Josh Asper quarter is one of familiar former training partners that went Perry's way by a razor thin margin in New York in November. Perry has a decidedly easier road to the semis, which is exactly what you want with one of those above hammers waiting for you, albeit after a number of wars.

97kg

My first thought about seeing the top half of this bracket was, Ty Walz could make the finals. Which is not to say he's a shoo in to beat Micah Burak in the semis or even Kallen Kleinschmidt in the quarters, but it certainly seems possible. Also always fun when your pick to win the weight is apparently taking the MCATs.

Burak on Burak crime can only happen in the finals, as Nathan got the three seed and will face another very large human in Blaize Cabell in the quarters. Kyven Gadson's gains in freestyle have paid off with the two seed. Any of the top four seeds are real threats to make the finals, and this will be our first look at Gadson against Nathan Burak, as Kyven has met up with Micah several times.

125kg

The big five fell as expected. A Zach Rey vs Tony Nelson semi has been waiting for months, and went Rey's by a 4-2 margin in Paris.

Gwiazdowski will have his hands full with Bobby Telford in the quarters, which is not exactly who you want to see right before facing Dom Bradley, who has had struggles against. Barring injuries, these will be your top five in some order.
