Chiljx Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Vega is ~ 6ft and it’s my understanding he’s around 160 currently. The Raney’s are both thick but short. I’d guess 5’6”
nhs67 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 7 hours ago, juniorvarsity said: Someones gotta know what he weighs in at. And what does Merrill weigh? Most of the time, guys gain weight between high school and their freshman season. Especially a thinner looking heavyweight like Ross. If he has the strength to handle Merrill, he has the strength to handle most heavyweights. Even Parris had issues with Merrill's power. Merrill weighed in at 117.9 KG (259.9lbs) whereas Ross weighed in at 105.5 KG (232.6lbs) at U20 WTT. They were at 118.5 KG (261.2lbs) and 102.3 KG (225.5lbs) at the Open. Merrill was at 118.8 KG (261.9lbs) at Senior WTT. Other notable weights at the Open/WTT: Parris - 115.9/116.1 KG Pindrickson - 115.0/XXX KG Zillmer - XXX/96.9 KG Trumble - XXX/108.1 KG Ghadiali - XXX/116.1 KG Aiello - XXX/104.7 KG Kerkvliet - 111.9/109.6 KG Hillger - 113.8/XXX KG Thomas - 119.2/117.8 KG Wood - 122.3/122.9 KG Cassioppi - 111.0/110.3 KG Cole Mirasola - 105.1/103.2 KG (Connor Mirasola @ 101.5 KG U23s - KG, up from 95.4 KG at the Open, which is 3.5lbs under the 97 KG limit...) Hopke - 111.7/113.7 KG Mullen - 114.8/114.1 KG (116.0 KG at U23s) Stoddard - 119.2/121.4 KG 97 KG = 213.8lbs 100 KG = 220.5lbs 105 KG = 231.5lbs 110 KG = 242.5lbs 115 KG = 253.5lbs 120 KG = 264.6lbs 125 KG = 275.6lbs 130 KG = 286.6lbs (Which is what Schultzy, Coon, and Attao all weighed in at for MGR at the Open). 1 "I know actually nothing.

I’d guess 5’6” Vega is not 6' tall. I am 5'7" with my shoes on, on a good day, and we were eye to eye at NCAAs. Unless he has grown five inches (or four plus his shoes), he is nowhere near 6' tall.

You know this could all be made significantly easier if they provided heights like the other combat sports do:)

Floyd Mayweather Jr is not 5'9" tall, for example. His Hollywood Height is, though. It's one reasons I love the NFL combine. No faking that. "I know actually nothing.

Not a lot of big heavyweights in college next year, but being 220 is kinda always a liability for most wrestlers. Literally everyone in the top 10 but Taylor and Amos under 245. 17 hours ago, nhs67 said: Cole Mirasola - 105.1/103.2 KG (Connor Mirasola @ 101.5 KG U23s - KG, up from 95.4 KG at the Open, which is 3.5lbs under the 97 KG limit...) Pretty interesting Connor gained 13 lbs and he was well under 97kg. Maybe go 92kg? I am officially done talking about the Mirasolas fit at Penn State until the college seasons starts. No way to make sense of it. And now we have the super ideal situation of brothers contending for the same spot in a weight class they should even be at. 2
