It would also imply that he might not be able to wrestle until the second half…Stiles uncontested at 165 it looks like. And honestly we don’t know how Stiles will handle the bump up two weight classes so Birden could really come in and make a run. He’s a possible AA caliber guy. 2

I’m extremely interested in a fully fed Stiles as well. But we saw Birden beat and/or take Paddy to the wire last year. He’s apparently been hitting it hard this offseason as well so we’ll see. Good weight for the Buckeyes regardless! 1
Simpleman424 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Usually agree with Basch and like his stuff but this seems crazy to me…there’s absolutely zero chance this is the lineup right?

I’m not sure…people in many circles (PSU as well) seemed confident recently Davis was all but gone. If I remember correctly Kasak is up in the air with concerns over his sustained health. Maybe I’ve just gotten crazy long shot vibes off those…
BaldHeadedShannon Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Just now, ionel said: Wasn't even Porta writing off Davis? I don't remember. Still figuring out what colleges some of you guys ride hard for. Davis was the only questionable starter I saw. I feel like this is just an AI generated graphic and Braden Davis is their highest (only?) ranked 141 on the roster. Wouldn't look as good to put Ono or Desmond on there when they haven't earned a number by their name yet. Also putting Davis on there generates clicks

I was mainly wondering if you had thoughts about anyone besides Davis. Should've made that clear. I'm not a PSU guy, but it feels like if any program is cut out to manage loads for guys that need it like Kasak it would be them. Hope he can stay healthy

BaldHeadedShannon Posted October 9 Posted October 9 I hear you. It certainly looks like him and he has already had some issues in his career, but has anything happened to the kid publicly about it yet?
Elevator Posted October 14 Posted October 14 No idea who will be at 141 for PSU at NCAA's, but will take the over on a 9th place. Its a heck of a team again with off-the-charts depth at 8 of 10 weights. The B team would probably finish top ten.
