He is smaller than DeAuggie and both were at 125 when they started their careers.

Let him go 125 and bring home (to Michigan) some high placing hardware.

I don’t know about that. He looked like a full sized 133 this year. He bulked up.

Ragusin, who is not known for size or strength, manhandled him and dwarfed him.

I don't think he bulked up.

I mean... I am also pipe-dreaming him to UofM at 125 as well... so...

Hunter Mayes 165 from rider had a rough freshman year but is a 2x NJ state champ with a very forward attacking style .3 years left with good potential

I just watched a couple of his matches from this year. It's hard to tell from just a handful, but it kinda looked like he was going through the motions out there. 

Vs Stanford, he hits that incredible drag to a double and finishes, but the first period he's just kinda hanging.

He certainly looked like he could turn it up a could have notches and make a big jump, but that may be a bit colored from how I remember him in HS. 

You are 100% correct. Very often Valencia looked like he didn’t want to be out there. There is a lot there to work with if he ever decides to look 100% dedicated. 
Still think the best option for ASU at 133 is Yas.

I have a feeling that Gabe Willochell could be on the move and perhaps to Wyoming

Watched McCade coach at the Big 12 tourney this year. That guy makes Mark Manning look tame.

I don't know who this guy is that is tweeting.  But there are two likes on this tweet: Mark Branch and McDade Ford.

Guy would have three years left, yeah?

If this was a deferred year he could also still redshirt too.

Bernie says he wants to go 184 (which we all kinda knew).

He also has a visit line up to a school (not named Penn St.) in two weeks

ASU makes sense as they're losing their best Wrestler...a 133(Arguably). 

McGee was a stud. Just SUCH a loaded weight class this year. 

It'd be fun to see ASU put it all together. They just seem to have some bad luck or something(though I do realize they had back to back team trophies prior to this year). But with Teemer coming back, Schultz, Parco, Teemer could make for 4 potential contenders. Vazquez and Figeruora could both be AAs.
 

I have no clue what to expect from Valencia, but he could certainly take a big jump this year. They're not going to challenge PSU or anything....

If Cannon ended up transferring to any of those 3 PAC 12 schools at the very least his winter months would not be as harsh and he definitely would have more sunshine.  Plus the babes at sunshine rich Western schools tend to be just that - BABES.

As to Valencia, so far, he can hot or cold.  Sometimes he looks great.  Other times .........not so much.   Someone needs to coach him UP.  And with his older brothers no longer on the team it appears he's not getting that at ASU.

So that leaves Iowa, ASU and Michigan as the only possible destinations .... (insert sarcasm here for a few of you)

Wait a second... you usually say something snarky about heading to OSUW, so insert them, too?

Jokes aside we saw a lot of 'free' transfers the last few years.  A lot of those allowances are gone, aren't they?  Like now if you want to transfer B1G to B1G the coaches can block it - forcing a one year sit (I think this goes in to effect as of now, not previously like with douchebag Bono)?  Also, a second transfer means sitting a year too?  How is the P12 for transfers within the same conference?

There goes your 141lber @MPhillips. 

Decatur is in the portal.

A former top 5 recruit that never panned out. I remember him debuting at 133 and had a win over Arizona St. (I may have been Courtney?) After that, he just struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup. Wishing him the best of luck.

Do you have an example in this thread about me saying anything, let alone snarky,  about a transfer to OSUW?  

I guess, even after "inserting sarcasm here" you still need an explanation that every prominent transfer is connected to one of a couple of schools as many posters start inserting them into their lineup.

See Trey Munoz for an example of how it was enforced last year for a semester.

I remember him teching Vito in freestyle. Match should still be up on Flo.
