149 Henson

184 Stewart

TJ will jump levels next year. Beating PK is a tall order but TJ has the skill set to do it. Just needs some mat time and clean up a couple tendencies that cost him a match or two

What is this joke about?

No joke.  The Ferraris are working with Iowa to design their weight room.  Nobody knows more about lifting than A.J, and his father.

 

I can't imagine this is true. Also, unsure if you're a troll. I think I have seen you defending AJ before.

I really like Stewart’s skillset and he has a lot of potential but he’s going to have to jump 3 levels in the offseason to get on Parker’s level.

125-Davis
133-Lillendahl
141-Bartlett
149-Kasak
157-Haines
165-Messenbrink
174-Starocci
184-Parker(upsets Barr)
197-Mirasola
HWT-Kerk

I didn't actually change these until I realized how many PSU guys I had in there and then figured I'd just...go all in.

125-Lillendahl
133-Crookham(I think he ends up 1 win shy of being a 4X undefeated NC)
141-Bartlett -I think he comes back and it's a coin flip between he and Mendez, but he had that TD. If he doesn't come back, Mendez and Kasak is a '41
149-Kasak-I think it'd be better if he grows into '49 with a year to get ready. If Kasak goes to '41, then Van Ness is at '49 and I like Henson there.
157-Haines-Obvious(unless they flip weights and I don't know if they do that).
165-Messenbrink -I think Hamiti can beat Messenbrink...I just don't think he can beat the thicker guys who slow down the pace.
174-Starocci -I just believe he comes back to go '74 again, if not, O'Toole
184-Sinclair -I was going to pick Arnold, but Sinclair is just SOOO slick and talented. I've said I think he's O'Toole/Messenbrink type talented and I've predicted Haines and Messenbrink to be in the finals a year before either Wrestled, so...this is my pick this year.
197-Parker -I think he'll move up. He's a big '84 and he'll likely try and Wrestle 86KG, so...just a guess, but my pick.
HWT-Trumble -I've rolled with him in '21...and '22. Not I think he'll be a ~240LB HWT and he's just so tough and athletic. Kerk also seems like he's the least likely to come back...ironically with CS, but he looks like he has a perpetual "HEW" attitude. Bastida could also get in there, but I like Trumble.

 

I'm assuming the PSU 3 come back and I don't know if Trumble cuts, but I hope he doesn't. I could see him winning a WC/OLY in the future. I think he's that good.

 

I could see, Sealy, Barr, Mirasol, Ryder, Davis, and Kerkviet(obviously) all contending and placing in the top half...if they Wrestle. I think Davis ends up at '33, Mirasola takes '97. I'll say Facundo takes 17

Penn State is so stupid with their depth.

I gotta say, I’m surprised by all the love for Buchanan. Elam beat him in their most recent match up, and he clearly was hampered by undisclosed injuries all year. If Rocky is healthy, he’s your champ. 

I think everyone is high on Buchanan because of his strong finish at the NCAA tournament. He majored Beard, beat Little, Sloan, and Cardenas. He looked much better at NCAAs than he did big 12s.

125 - Ayala
133 - Crookham
141 - Mendez
149 - Sasso
157 - Haines
165 - Messenbrink
174 - O'Toole
184 - Keckeisen
197 - Cardenas
HWT - Hendrickson

I only have 2 PSU champs next year, but the overall depth of the team will likely have 7+ AAs making it hard to beat them.  Yes, I know, I pulled out the hollywood script for Sasso.

If Sasso can wrestle at the D1 level again, that's a huge win.

Given that he was rumored to be going 157 this year, I don't think there's any chance at all that he goes 149 unless he's lost a significant amount of muscle in his time off the mat.

Good picks but do you have any good reason for MM and Haines swapping weights?  Same with PK bumping up to 197?

At the PSWC banquet Haines said he’s going 165.

Hmm... my lineup guess (although I have no idea how a lot of these weights would go, including Haines vs. MM)

  • 125- Lilledahl
  • 133- Davis
  • 141- Bartlett
  • 149- SVN
  • 157- MM
  • 165- Haines
  • 174- Facundo
  • 184- Barr
  • 197- Mirasola
  • 285- Kerk
