nhs67 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) If Kasak redshirts, then no real point to the discussion other than saying the ole 'Iron Sharpens Iron' metaphor. It would be wild, but we could see a Haines redshirt as well, or in lieu of, with SVN heading up to 157lbs. They both had comparable seasons. Quite a few fringe losses then turned it on for NCAAs. To answer your question, though? I don't know. I would lean to 'No' though. Edit: Actually your question was 'any chance' so I change to a yes. Edited March 31 by nhs67 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

Van Ness didn’t have any fringe losses , he lost to 6th year senior Murin 3x , Gomez ,Sasso and yianni and that was after not competing for basically 2 years , he completely controlled the Henson match last year and the Parco matches this season and last Kasak has unlimited potential and had a great but he took Ls to Abas and Rathjen this year , not exactly world beaters , and I don’t think he’s ready to compete with Henson just yet (I know he beat Lovett but as we know Rich was in full semi slide mode) 1

Doubt it will be a thing though as there is a redshirt available, SVN may be big enough for 157 (?) at some point, and Kasak might be good at 141? Did Kasak cert at 141 this year? Penn State has quite a few of these good "problems". Similar w Davis after a suprisingly good true frosh season - RS, 125, or 133 next year or 25-26.

Lost to Bartlett at a first semester open. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

I concede. Also said it was SVN to lose, so no problem losing this one. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
KennyEBHS Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 I am not saying he will beat SVN for the starting spot since most feel Kasak will redshirt. But in the room...?

If you listen to Cael it sounds like his favorite guy to watch wrestle is SVN , the usually coy Cael gushes over SVN style and potential so if Cael thinks that highly of a dude I lean towards trusting his opinion 1

WildTurk Posted March 31 Posted March 31 One should transfer. Get a starting spot somewhere with some cash 1

Tyler Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Kasak was actually a 141 to start the year but stepped in when SVN went down as you know. They’re is still enough room for the both of them
Truzzcat Posted March 31 Posted March 31 my only concern with SVN is health, I think this may be his third injury dating back to high school that has sidelined him for nearly an entire season. Generally guys with that type of injury frequency just keeping getting hurt, but I hope I'm wrong and he can stay on the mat because he will be in the discussion to win it next year.

Injuries only occur in the Iowa room I thought. This sounds sus 1

Basch seemed to imply it on one of his pods, and you know Bartlett is one of “his guys.” It seemed highly likely if he won, but still a decent possibility even if he didn’t.
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Does Nagao want to bump up to 141 next year? I thought making 133 wasn't so easy for him.
