The Olympic year is almost upon us, and we've established who will constitute the bulk of the field at the Olympic Trials in April.

But now that Senior Nationals is over, there is a long break in between senior-level freestyle events in this country. With no domestic tournaments for three months, we must review who still has yet to qualify for OTT in State College, PA.

Below is our long and exhaustive list of guys who haven't qualified in men's freestyle for the Trials, which have already sold out the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State. The next (and really only) chance to qualify is in Millersville, PA, the week before the Trials. There is, of course, the possibility someone wins gold at Pan Ams who is not yet qualified, but that seems highly unlikely.

Without further ado, here is who could (and should) be wrestling at the Last Chance Qualifier the final weekend in March.

57kg

Frank Perrelli

Darian Cruz

Nico Megaludis

Alan Waters

Zane Richards

Eddie Klimara

David Terao

Tim Lambert

Brent Fleetwood

Josh Rodriguez

Jack Mueller

Jesse Delgado

Daniel DeShazer

Shelton Mack

Austin Miller

Jacob Moran

Jarrod Patterson

Nick Piccininni

Pat Glory

Gabe Townsell

Malik Heinselman

Commentary: Alan Waters and Nico Megaludis both wrestled in the 2016 Olympic Trials, and Frank Perrelli is the only guy not currently qualified who has wrestled in all three World Team Trials this quad at 57kg.

65kg

Jaydin Eierman

Evan Henderson

Bryce Meredith

Anthony Ashnault

Josh Saunders

Dean Heil

Ben Whitford

Ethan Lizak

Joey Lazor

Sean Fausz

Johnni DiJulius

Nick Dardanes

Mario Mason

Rob Mathers

Matt Kolodzik

Earl Hall

Jayson Ness

Dom Demas

Colton McCrystal

Kanen Storr

Commentary: Pretty wild to think Jaydin Eierman, who was on the national team and is on an Olympic Redshirt, has yet to qualify. We're also expecting Anthony Ashnault to throw his hat in the ring at Millersville if his knee is healed up.

74kg

Jason Nolf

Vincenzo Joseph

Nazar Kulchytskyy

Joey Lavallee

Alec Pantaleo

Ryan Deakin

Hayden Hidlay

Jake Sueflohn

Chance Marsteller

Tyler Berger

Branson Ashworth

Quinton Godley

Muhamed McBryde

Dylan Ness

Nick Becker

Commentary: How healthy will Nolf be in a few months? If Cenzo doesn't win NCAAs, does he go to Millersville?

86kg

Aaron Brooks

Nate Jackson

Nick Heflin

Tim Dudley

Max Dean

Leo Tarantino

Drew Foster

Willie Miklus

Ryan Loder

Kevin Radford

Josh Asper

CJ Brucki

Pete Renda

Parker Keckeisen

Kadeem Samuels

Stacey Davis

Nino Bonaccorsi

Kenny Courts

Commentary: Apart from Brooks, this is perhaps the most veteran-heavy group that doesn't have many college guys in the mix.

97kg

Timmy McCall

Kevin Beazley

Derek White

Donald Scott

Scottie Boykin

Donald McNeil

Josh Manu

Riley Lefever

Enock Francois

Ben Honis

Daniel Chaid

Michael Boykin

Commentary: The brackets for Bill Farrell and Senior Nationals weren't big, so we're curious to see how the last chance field looks.

125kg

Anthony Cassar

Tanner Hall

Zach Elam

Youssif Hemida

Mauro Correnti

Ceron Francisco

Shawn Streck

Mike Kosoy

AJ Nevills

Jordan Wood

Tony Cassioppi

Jeric Kasunic

David Tate Orndorff

Commentary: Here's hoping Cassaar's injury is not as serious as we all fear it will be.
