That team still might lose to FCA. The non-PIAA weights might favor BMC, and the PIAA weights might favor FCA. Could also see one being better in tournaments and another being better in a dual setting. 

106-120 TBD (IDK if they have any incoming Freshmen or not) Young NR and Yoder NR would be in here

126- Bachmann #4

132- Racich NR

138- Bachmann #2

144- Botero NR

150- M. Wagner NR (State third last year (beat Butler at State Duals))

157- S. Wagner NR (Really solid, has never wrestled in the postseason)

165- Weidemoyer INJ (Top 5-10 nationally when healthy)

175- N. Singer #11

190- Waters #1

215- J. Singer #12

285 Effendian #6

FCA has had a pretty big advantage at the top and bottom the last two years. The Advantage at the top is still very much there I think Joeys weight could be a huge factor because I think a match with Herring is probably close to a toss up and Jax likely bonuses him if not pushes for a tech. If he can avoid those two, I think it helps Faith Christian a ton. I am super high on Carfley if he can refine some things he has a really crazy motor and hand fights well.

Does anyone commit before the official home visit date for this class. That date is 8/4. It is usually 8/1 but there is a dead period during the NWCA Conference so it is a little back this year. No visits can happen pre 8/4 I think, that is kids visiting a campus as well. Seems to me kids would need to be pretty familiar with a campus and staff, IE they did a prospect camp or a training camp there. I would think a kid like Miller may be in a situation like this because of Bassett being on Iowa's campus for training prior. I would think the same thing for Villasenor bc of proximity to campus in Stilly as well or Hayden S because his dad is the coach, obv. Other than that maybe another one of the iowa kids because they have been in around the camp scene at those schools more, IDK spitballing here.

I think Jayden James originally commitment was prior to home visits last year. A lot of the stellar trained kids I think spend time at lehigh so would not be shocked if singer or Bachmann committed early if they want to go there.

Could also see Grajeda to ASU as the Bosco pipeline goes hard as the kids say. HS programs where kids are all over have so much more intel and info on programs because kids are in it. If those schools have been in to watch a workout on a visit in previous years I am sure there is more familiarity which helps speed things up.

Bosco + monster garage! I wonder if he has much affiliation with Zahid if he may try and recruit him to Okst. That kids neutral game is unfreaking real.

Okie State is super packed in that area but seems like they are just loading up guys so who knows really...Hard to say, but I could see either Okie State or ASU happening and not be shocked.

James took a visit to Blacksburg and committed on spot. Obviously didn't work out and he wanted to follow the KD trained guys. Completely unbiased but I think every Stellar Trained guy should make the trek down to Blacksburg and spend a weekend with Seidel & Gaj before making a decision. Unbiased.
