Early buzz has him transferring to Iowa

If you are a 184/197 guy and your goal is to win an NCAA championship with your one remaining year of eligibility, this is a pretty bad idea.

There is no early buzz that Traux is heading to Iowa.  @Jimmy Cinnabon again is just regurgitating something he saw on HR except this time no one on HR is even claiming Iowa is pursuing him.

To be clear, there is no buzz on him going to Iowa outside of a poster on HR saying "you think Iowa will go after him?"  I haven't heard anything definitive on him, but the initial rumors were Penn State, though that doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless Brooks is staying down, or (as has been supposed) Truax wants to go back down to 184, that would leave either Haines or (more likely) Facundo on the bench.

Truax weighed in below 190 at NCAAs. Could easily go 184.

Good chance Levi hits a growth spurt, takes a RS and we never see him wrestle under 174 again.  Heck next time we watch him wrestle might be 184 and he'll finish his career at 197.  Take a look at his dad during the NCAA finals.  He's a big man.  Starrocci is staying put at 174 and most likely doesn't come back for his 5th.  Most likely Brooks goes up to 197.

So the presumption for next year is

165: Facundo

174: Starocci

184: Unclear but possibly Truax

197:  Brooks

?

 

Also, hard to believe Starocci won't come back to try to get an unprecedented 5th title with the opportunity, but I know he has his eyes on the UFC.

If Starocci does an Olympic redshirt or goes UFC I would expect both Haines and Facundo to bump up

Facundo did better, in high school mind you, 171+ I think.

Yes, that is a likely lineup.  Haven't heard anything about PSU being on Traux's radar but it would fit.  If not Traux then insert Barr.

I believe Carter is on record stating he doesn't care about winning a 5th.  He seems to already have one foot out the door.

Heck, maybe Levi wrestles 285? Might even have a decent pull to make it to 285 by the time he's a 7th year senior.

His father wrestled HWT in college his senior year for LHU..placing in EWL when it was a meat grinder.  He had been a 197lber years prior, but it helped the team. Tough man.  So yes, he can grow..

Plus isn’t Levi only 18? I agree he probably has a lot of growing to do yet

WHAAAAT! 

The hell are you saying? That Jimmy McGill-Cinnabon isn't the most legitimate source?

I don't know. He's never led me astray...if you ignore the overwhelming majority of his posts!

Hmm, Beard has all the tools that he should need to go to the next step up... until his gas tank found a way to empty itself late in the season.

Would bringing in Truax thru the portal to LEHIGH, motivate Beard to that next higher step?

Hmmmmmmm.🤔

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
