poke1 Posted October 23 Posted October 23 I'm super excited to see how much more improved Troy Spratley is this year. I know he fell short of All American status at Nationals last year but I can't help but think he's going to surprise a lot of people this year. With workout partners like Fix, Gilman and RBY in the room pounding on him everyday, once he steps on the mat with other opponents we will see his transformation from last year. He major decisioned National champ Fig at their duel last year and he will get him again early this year when they duel November 24th. A match to watch!!! So pumped!! Let's Goooooooo! 3
Hammerlock3 Posted October 23 Posted October 23 i do appreciate "people to watch" type topics. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
Truzzcat Posted October 23 Posted October 23 People have been saying that the word out of the room is that he has seriously jumped levels. This weight has a ton of guys to watch. Lilledahl, Mark Anthony Mcgowan (former cadet world champ) I dont know that hes wrestled a competition match in like 18months so really no way to gauge where he is at. Kale Peterson down at 125 at 125 U. Greg Diakohmihalis. Majored Sotelo last year and outside of a fall to miller had two 1 point losses finally getting a chance to start. Vinny kilkeary "beat" Braeden Davis and feels like a true 125 which I think is a real bonus come March. Very exciting weight similarly to last year.
Gus Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Sprately is the real deal. He had wins last year over Luke Stanich, Jacob Camacho, Terukina, Richie Figs, Noah Surtin, Tanner Jordan, Cooper Flynn and more. 5 of his 8 losses were 1 point or SV. If he has truly jumped levels he is a title threat. He also does every possible little thing to try to get in his opponents head which is fairly entertaining.

His wins last year dropped next to "8 losses" is sort of jarring...but its 2024 125 so it was basically the wild west. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
flyingcement Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Guys who are moving from 125 to 133 for this year: Drake Ayala Anthony Noto Luke Stanich (will be on RS) Braeden Davis Brett Ungar Jack Maida Ethan Berginc Tristan Lujan Sean Spidle Ryan Miller Markel Baker Drew Heethius Separately, the following guys dropping down to 133 from 141: Cleveland Belton Jordan Decatur Lucas Byrd returning from medical redshirt. Connor McGonagle enters the field off the bench from Lehigh. Vito, Fix, Teske Colaiocco exhaust eligibility, Nagao enters a medical redshirt, while Latona and Basile bump to 141. Sorry for the tangent, but 133 got turned on its head this offseason.

I don't know the kid...I don't particularly care about Illinois...I just like the way that kid competes and Wrestles. I hope he can get on a run and win it. I don't think he will, but it'd be nice. 3 1

I dont have any inside scoops - I just caught it on Wrestlestat and have seen projections from other knowledgable types on the matter that - whether Nagao is on Med RS or not - Davis is the expected starter. And I'm totally with you on Byrd. Love his style 1

With another year under his belt and the training partners and coaches that he has, I would not be surprised to see him wrestling Saturday night this year.

uncle bernard Posted October 24 Posted October 24 I think he's going to thrive under Gilman. My first introduction to Spratley was actually him working out with Gilman during this video series at Eric Guerrero's club several years ago.
