peanut Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Starocci just announced he’s returning next year. In an earlier interview, before he anointed his return, he said he might go to 197 if he returned. Not clear if that’s still the plan. I guess we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I NEVER thought he'd walk away from a chance at 5 and whatever NIL he's going to get for the chance to be the first 5X Champ. The freak set of circumstances that came together, it'll be cool to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerlock3 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 hopefully cael is pitching 197 to make him a 86k and keep him wrestling. after beating the domestically undefeated when training champion of america sky is the limit for starooci.

He'll be a...9X National Champ all told? I mean, unless things go REALLY poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some stud is gonna miss out on a year of eligibility. Haines has to stay down at 157 and Kasak needs to redshirt. Haines might need to use a redshirt if he wants to go up to give Messenebrink an extra year to grow into 174. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wager that it is Haines going 174 year after next, if he can beat Facundo (he just got controlled rather convincingly, albeit in MFS against Facundo). 1 "I know actually nothing.

I don't think Levi will redshirt. I think he will wrestle the next two years and Duke should be coming off redshirt to take over, they have so many options I don't think shirting a 2 time finalist is the answer.

I guess in this scenario Ryder and Kasak redshirt and Miro redshirts only if Kerk takes the NIL offer and returns? Any idea how hard it is for Carter or Barr to make 174? Is Facundo comfortable fattening up to 174. PSU has some crazy depth except at 285. Between Carter, Barr, and Ryder who is the best fit for 197 if Mirosola is redshirted?

He wins 184 but it would be nice to see him and PK. Both finalist leave 197 and its probably the easiest of the 3 weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
