Some 125s of note:

Steve Poulin

Ethan Berginc

Braxton Brown

Might have to also add Peterson from Rutgers at 125lbs if he's named starter. Lost a highly contested match last week to NCAA Runner up Glory 6-5

NHS also lives near the beach. His nickname is Spicoli. That's how high he is regarding Swiderski.

Truth is truth.

I think it's strange that everyone seems to think so highly of Swiderski and VanNess (and I agree, they are studs), but they never mention Chance Lamer who beat each of them within the last two years.  How in the world is Chance not getting mentioned among the best Freshman?!?!?  #chancelamer

Sasso has another year to use - Do you think he is moving up or is not going to use his last year of eligibility?

D'Emilio, Sasso, Paddy and Kharchla move up next season. Hoffman, Geog or Shumate need to get to 84 (no idea if that's  possible, I just want to see Geog wrestle a season) and then Feldman at 285.  Options at 25. Mendez needs to see David Taylor's guy so he can wrestle 41. Bouzakis slides in at 33.

I've sent my suggestions to Coach Ryan through a mutual friend.

Brian Soldano at Rutgers.  He may be redshirted because they have Poznanski.  A couple of years ago, I thought Poznanski might win it all.

Maybe almost a Beard/Dean thing.  Maybe one grows into 197?

Soldano is the guy poz is redshirting this year

Have to mention Richie Figs. Yes he’ll ultimately be a backup, but 3 top 20 wins in the first couple weeks of the season is definitely a solid start.

He is going to represent the Sun Devils at the Pac12’s.

That’s bold. Prior to last weekend I would have disagreed entirely. I still think Courtney’s a level above and that it’s ultimately his spot to lose, but if Richie goes to Vegas and puts together top 4 finish or so, things get really interesting.

Because College Wrestling is folk style. It rewards being good on your feet and the mat. Exposures and leg laces don’t get you anything in folk

Chance has only had a few matches thus far, and no high profile opponents.  That will change in two weeks in Vegas.

both Van Ness and Lamars are RS freshman, Casey is a true freshman.....all 3 of them have great careers ahead of them.  Lamars had a nice RS season last year.

If you watch the match, aside from the exposure, Lamer scored 3 takedowns to SVN 1 takedown. 

[nhs67]

As the officially appointed unofficial 'Master of all that is Mitten' I am telling everyone that Lamer should be in the discussion for potential breakout (nonFYO) frosh.

While I fully believe he could and will pull a high AA off, I understand that he is a frosh and that he needs to earn the respect of the rankers and BBS horde to be considered a real contender.

Why do I understand that?  I am happy you asked that and just as happy to tell you:  He hasn't put together the maths to earn him the distinction of contender yet.  Also, I am not a complete biased dipshit.

The small amount of video I watched from the Black Knight Open made me think SVN looks a bit undersized for 149?

Is that a question, because you know the camera adds 10 pounds?

agree.... I have been on the Lamer train for a long time... West is Best.

He will redshirt, but Minnesota's Troy Spratley is 3-0 with all 3 wins against D1 starters (NDSU, SDSU, Binghamton).

He is going to be a good one... Minny will have another good 125 lifer.... now on to the other bookend.
