Gus Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Per Baschamania, Facundo will Olympic redshirt. Have to assume Mesenbrink will be the guy for PSU. Should be fun to see how he stacks up against the top 6 guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Pretty excited at the opportunity to see Facundo at 174lbs. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Exciting news! It will be fun to see Mesenbrink. The only issue is he is a smaller 165 pounder. I think Haines might actually be better suited for 165 in terms of frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he might be okay at 165. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbane Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 What is the criteria for the Olympic redshirt? I'm a little surprised Facundo would be eligible. I thought they used to be pretty liberal in allowing anyone with a remote chance to get one. I recall guys like Pataky making use of them more out roster management than having a legit shot at the spot. The last two cycles I thought there was a pretty high bar like needing an age level medal or having made a former senior world team to qualify for one.

1032004 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I guess Cael does care about breaking the record… Either that or he’s afraid of Messenbrink matching his undefeated record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Mesenbrink could jump into the top 10 next week if he beats Fish Michigan St this weekend at Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Elite Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Seemed like a guy with a 174 frame. But does Starocci come back next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right... not U20 Worlds. U20 age group nationals gets you a handshake and a stop sign, but not an Olympic redshirt. You are literally wrong. He gets the Olympic redshirt because of his two cadet bronzes. Next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
