Sounds like Zargo up to 149 and Lettini into the lineup at 141 is the expectation of some Badgers fans

Is it a 'best two guys at 141/149' sort of thing?  Zargo didn't look like a big 141lber.

Could be the case.  I'm not sure on the rationale, but they're not very deep around these weights so it would make  sense

Yonger Bastida is going to 285 for Iowa State

I forget - what do we think is happening at 197? Fisher?

[flyingcement]

Iowa State doesn't have many certainties in their lineup -

125: Terukina or Perryman

133: Redding or Grice or Attausaov or E. Frost

141: Redding or Grice or J. Frost

149: Johnson

157: Chittum or Kraisser or Swiderski

165: Carr

174: Gaitan or Broderson or Devine or Rosas

184: Broderson or Rosas or Naaktgeboren

197: Fisher

285: Bastida

FWIW I am going to try to change weights this year as well. Going to suck down to 184. I feel that’s a good number. My college weight was 142…+42 = 184.

I don't think they have a good option for 197 at this point.  Their best options at 174/184/197 might be the three(four if you include Rojas who was down at 165 to end the year last year).  Iowa State has been known to run some guys through that gauntlet up there.

[nhs67]

I have a feeling Rojas was headed down to try to man 157 for a season prior to Chittum coming in, so he could go 165 after Carr left.

Now with Swiderski going 157 after next year, does that mean Chittum to 165 or does Swiderski head all the way up to 165?

Does that also mean Rojas needs to double down and shoot for 174/184?  He wrestled 189 most of the last couple years of high school in Michigan's largest division for Detroit Catholic Central (perennial Top 50 squad and the same squad as Michigan's Amine, Mizzou's Edmond, and former Nebraska/Illinois Davenport, future Princeston wrestler Heethus all on the same team).  He got away with it because Michigan doesn't have a lot of upperweight depth and he is strong as a mule.  Neither of those hint towards a successful venture in to 184/197 imho.

If anything it makes me wonder if him being the odd man out next season that we might see him in the portal.

Devine graduated & has a job

i think Swiderski redshirts

Rojas won’t be 184

Is Lenny Pinto staying at 184? Doesn't look small but was 170 in HS and Willie has mentioned FeldKamp visited Nebraska and they were trying to get Truax to visit before the price went crazy. 

He also wrestled 86KG at U20 so could be nothing but Nebraska seems to have more a hole at 174 with Labs gone so the visits seem odd.

I think they have enough depth in the 157-165 range that Pinto can stay at 184 - if he wants to eat/grow in to 86 KG.

That said, him at 174 is probably similar to Robb dropping from 165 to 157.  It is a better weight for him.

Cody Goodwin is saying 197 on Twitter, I believe.

Probably possible since we could use both 184 & 197.  But I heard 184

184 makes more sense.  197 is fixing to be as tough as it has ever been.  Buchanan, Hidlay, ane Brooks will all be there.

Him going 184 is the most peak potential points for the team.

Agree with that.  

[Buford]

How many years do Vito, Hardy, Carlson, Parco, Alirez and Matthews have left if they use their Covid year?  
 

So hard to follow

Is Swiderski's redshirt confirmed? Kid has a lot of talent, but it sure looked like the weight cut was too much for him. He needs to let his body reset a bit and find a higher weight class.

He will be redshirtting and then taking over 157.  Chittum will either need to move up, transfer, or ride pine.

Doesn’t bother me either way. If someone’s fee-fees are hurt by not starting I know a midwestern program that would be a great degree in need of top-tier middleweight AA caliber wrestlers . I’ll just be over here rooting for top 8 in the big ten

That hurt my brain to read.  In fact, I am not sure I even made it all the way through it.
