Kasak could get to 141 or Davis and Nagoa slide up? BB return just gives more redshirt flexibility and PSU is one team that may not really benefit much from that in view of recruiting has been on fire (except for Hwt). I Mirasola the larger really big enough and good enough to be a top tem Hwt?
Gus Posted April 9 Posted April 9 43 minutes ago, Le duke said: It's kind of a running joke; DT and Cael refer to Casey as the strongest man in the world. Casey's wife/Asher's mom, Tara, was literally the strongest women in the world. That said, Asher appears to have inherited quite a bit of his parent's good genetic material and he is incredibly strong. He's also the number two 165 in his graduating class, per Flo, so he's rapidly moving up the ranks. Okay, that makes sense. Cunningham is quickly rising. Will be interesting to see if he rises to the level of some of the other recruits that they are bring in like Sealy, Ryder, Mirasola, etc.
VAtoSC Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 Bartlett back is big for them in terms of allowing some flexibility. I think you see Davis redshirt and bump to 133 the following year. Also think you see Kasak redshirt and drop to 141 the following year.

He'll be back at 141. No way Parco is gonna drop a weight after being an AA 4 years at 149. Not so sure Larkin can beat anyone out in the 149 class. Freestyle success doesn't always mean folkstyle success. In addition to Parco, rumor has it he's had trouble beating Ramos, you also have Ysaquirre. Valencia didn't fare to well this year when he tried to jump to 184. Lost the wrestle off to Negron who jumped over him from 165 to 184 and had a solid year. I think he stays right where he's at, 174. All very good points. My money would be on Ysaguirre starting at 141 lbs next season for ASU.

Worried about Bouzakis' weight cut. Same with Mendez. I imagine he'll head up to 65kg after D'Emilio leaves. Gallagher at 157. Hepner at 165, but he needs some work. Not sure if we see Kharchla? I've heard things that make me question if he'll be back. Welsh, Rogotzke, Geog and Feldman. I believe if Shumate wants to wrestle he may have to transfer. I don't believe we see Sasso again. Mendez looked healthy this year unlike last year when he looked sucked down at 33. Yes, Hepner needs work, he seems to have an andonian style but gets caught often. I understand about Sasso but would be nice to see him.
nhs67 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Looks like Ruth of Illinois intends to go 184lbs next season for the Illini. 1 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

Conway, So.,/Cameron Steed, So., /Logan Gioffre, Sr., - This would be Steed's but I heard he now weighs in the 180s. Gioffre wrestled 157 last year so it wouldn't surprise me. 165 - Cameron Steed, So.or Keegan O'Toole Sr., - I think it is going to be Steed. 174- O'Toole Sr., (or possibly Whiting if Keegan goes back to 165 or even Steed) 184- Hawks, Jr. /Whiting, So. - It will be a battle again. 197- Rocky Elam, Sr. - With Sinclair redshirting. I don't think Rocky has the frame to carry the weight like his brother. Plus it took Zach 2+ years to become a good sized 285 weight wise. Don't think they can do it 6 months. 285- Seth Nitzel, Jr. or Portal. Heard that Boersma was hurt this year and maybe done (which sucks). Just keeping it warm until Stillwell gets here. 125 Surtin 133 Moore/Roller 141 Edmonds 149 Hilton/Seltzer 157 Steed 165 Otoole 174 Whiting 184 Hawks 197 Sinclair HWY Elam

flyingcement Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I'm seeing Wrestlestat has Ungar bumped up to 133 and Greg D at 125

Honest question Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I assume Parris making the R12 was not considered “significant points”?

He looked like a full sized 184. Is 174 possible for him? I think KOT goes 174, and one of Hawks/Whiting sit. Harmon saw the light, he wrestled some at 174, so if KOT wasn’t moving up, and Harmon wasn’t beating Whiting or Hawks I see why he hit the portal.
flyingcement Posted April 14 Posted April 14 new Illinois lineup on Wrestlestat: 125: Attasauov 133: Byrd 141: Pucino 149: Webster 157: Scholes 165: Moore 174: Braunagel 184: Ruth 197: Braunagel 285: Luffman

You don't like any other option here? Cameron Steed is 24-7 in his two years and has beaten people like AA Hunter Garvin (by Major), National Qualifiers Cael Carlson, Will Formato, Legend Lamer, Nathan Lukez. His only loses are to Michael Caliendo, Izzak Oljenik, and Brock Mauller all by Dec. Now that being said. He seems to be a bit injury prone. 3 of his loses are injury default (to Wyatt Sheets, Logan Gioffre, and Vince Zerban). He seems to get injured in placing matches of tournaments (That is not even counting getting injured at U20 nationals last year). He was beating Zerban this year when he broke his hand.

Cutting major weight (@H82Lose is a family friend and has confirmed Steed is in the 180s) to get to 157 won't help the injury prone thing that's for sure. In fact it'll probably heighten it. 1

But I see him growing. I personally think the lineup will look like this (with no Portal help) 2024/2025 125- Surtin 133- Moore 141- Edmond 149- Seltzer/Pulliam/Gioffre 157- Conway/Gioffre 165- Steed 174- O'Toole 184- Hawks/Whiting 197-Elam 285-Nitzel 2025/2026 125-Mauger/Walker 133-Moore/Crapps/Mendoza 141- Edmond 149- Seltzer/Roller/McCallister 157-Rath 165-Conway 174-Steed 184-Whiting (Hawks could be here. But it will be his 6th year) 197- Sinclair 285-Nitzel/Stillwell
VAtoSC Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 (edited) With the recent portal activity, Virginia Tech should look like the following now: 125-Eddie Ventresca (Rumors are he is getting close to being 100% healthy again and should be good to go by October which is great news and they need him back to the March 2022 form when he was an All-American with Cooper Flynn hitting the portal) 133-Connor McMonagle (Big time transfer from Lehigh who should contend for AA status) 141-Sam Latona (Moves up a weight again and will be still be tall and long for 141) 149-Caleb Henson (Returning NATIONAL CHAMPION) 157-Rafael Hipolito (Bright future for this kid) 165- ? (I have no idea honestly. I have heard rumblings they are looking to the portal after Connor Brady and Clayton Ulrey elected to enter the portal. Maybe Hipolito goes 165 and Mac Church goes 157?, but I had heard Rafe is a very natural 157. Maybe Luke Robie goes on a big weight gain up from 149/157 where he was this year? Big question mark right now) 174-Lennox Wolak (All American transfer from Columbia) 184-TJ Stewart (Returning All American. There were some rumblings about him entering the portal but he has confirmed he is ALL HOKIE) 197-Sonny Sasso (Andy Smith had a very good NCAA tournament losing in the blood round and is back his last year, but Sasso is so athletic for a 197, and he had a super impressive redshirt season. This was the first time in his career he focused soley on wrestling and he improved a ton so look for continued growth from him) 285-Jimmy Mullen (Very similar situation as 197 with Hunter Catka returning for his last year after a good showing at NCAAs by making the blood round. Mullen though has stopped playing football for VT and is entirely focused on wrestling now. Very good redshirt year and I think he has a big year in 2025) Very deep lineup with 5 previous All Americans in Stewart, Wolak, Ventresca, Latona, and Henson. McMonagle certainly has the ability to AA if he is healthy. Sasso and Mullen are both super athletic for their weights. Big question mark at 165, but this team if healthy could challenge for a team trophy. Edited April 17 by VAtoSC 1 1 1
