feet2back Posted March 25 Posted March 25 (edited) RUTGERS Just a guess..I think we'll see a Transfer or 2 soon 125- Peterson/ NQ 133- Shawver/ AA 141- Olivieri/ NQ 149- Cetta...2 wins @ NCAA 157- Harer (True frosh) or Desantis/transfer 165- White/ NQ or transfer 174- Turley/ AA 184- Soldano/ NQ 197- Poznaski/ AA 285- Slavikowski./ AA Edited March 25 by feet2back

I thought about Jesse at 149 too. I thought about how small he seemed at u20's but he must've found his groove in the weight room or his diet because he looked all of 141. 149 would probably be a better spot for him too with his freestyle aspirations and is a better fit for their lineup overall. Im not sure if ben is big enough for 141 next year and I dont think nic will ever be a 141 his frames just too small but ben also has a baby face so he may hit a growth phase. Brandon cannon I think could make some noise at 141 next year as well he beat bailey at ironman and his only loss this year, I believe was to tom crook 6-4 beat a couple NQ's
PencilNeck Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Possible Illini lineup: 25 - Caelan Riley 33 - Byrd 41 - Pucino 49 - Webster (will he be too big for 149?) or Harrier 57 - Roberts or Scoles (or Webster?) 65 - D. Braunagel or Moore (RS?) 74 - Ruth! 84 - Connell 97 - Z. Braunagel Hwt - Luffman I'm not as close watching a fan as most here, so i don't know if any incoming freshman might challenge for starting sports though. I'm seeing 5 likely AAs including at 33, 49 (or 57), 74, 97, and Hwt 1
ICpanther Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Northern Iowa 125: Trevor Andersen; was probably close to an at-large this year. If he improves in the offseason, he could be an NCAA qualifier. Had a win over then #1 Kamacho this year, but that doesn't really mean much with how 125 was 133: Julian Farber; probably capable of winning a few matches in the NCAA tournament if he doesn't get hurt again 141: Cael Happel; can't ever put a great NCAA tournament together but good wrestler nonetheless who should get close to the podium 149: Colin Realbuto; assuming he returns from Team Italy, he should be another guy capable of making the bloodround. I think he did in 2023? 157: Ryder Downey; returning 5 seed at the NCAA tournament. hopefully with an offseason of improvement, he can be on the podium. Was definitely overseeded this year but he's certainly capable 165: Jack Thomsen; returning NCAA qualifier. People from his hometown think he has the highest ceiling of the Thomsen brothers, but he's running out of time to pull that off 174: Jared Simma; showed what he's capable of at the NCAA tournament this year. Assuming he can get a little better, he could another guy who gets close to the bloodround. Gave Griffith all he could handle, which was probably his best showing even though he beat the 5 seed first round 184: Keck 197: Wyatt Voelker; wasn't sure what we'd get from him this year. Apparently an exceptional Greco guy who did very well in the U20 Greco Worlds, but didn't turn it into a big first year as the starter. Big frame, so hopefully he can get stronger, improve, and win another match or two at the NCAA tournament 285: Jose Valdez; assuming no one transfers in, he's the only heavyweight on the roster this past year besides Gordon. No idea what can be expected of him, but shouldn't be too big a dropoff from Gordon, who didn't qualify for the NCAA tournament this year anyway Some real potential here if all goes well. Knowing the UNI athletics department though, not all will go well.

I actually thought I heard Byrd was going up, too. It was rather surprising because, like Cannon, I never considered him big. I even thought 125lbs might be a better move. 1 "I know actually nothing.

I thought I heard that somewhere too, but it doesn't make much sense to me for various reasons. 1) He doesn't have a lot of length to support that sort of bulk up 2) They don't have a 133 lber otherwise and they do have several 141s 1

They introduced him at senior night. Do you think Vasquez is going somewhere? 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.

If he does, he'll be closer to 141 than 157. The amount of muscle loss when you go through that sort of lack of mobility is extreme. In high school, I came back from a life threatening car crash and being in a wheel chair - mid season and qualified the weight. by the end of the season as I put muscle back on - it was extremely difficult. the weight class was 112 and by conferences they gave us two lbs so it was 114. The night I won conferences and went back home hydrated, and ate a simple meal - I was 130. I nearly killed myself getting back down to 114 for states

I think they’ll be able to keep Ysa around for at least another year. Parco at 141 is a total reach, I was just trying to find a way to stick Larkin in there haha. My guess is Ysa and Vasquez battle it out for the 141 job. 1

McLane was solid this year, if things worked out a little differently he was definitely worthy of an at large bid.

Hopefully ASU can pick up Cardenas and then maybe add another heavy hitter at any weight above 157. If they landed somebody like Hamiti that would be a big pickup. They might have enough to challenge for the top next year if they can do that. Lower weights are going to be a mess. Several guys who could be starting might be on the bench.
