Guys changing weights you are excited for

Ferrari will win a number of matches but won't be on top at the end of the year.

I see WrestleStat has Marcus Blaze slated as the starter for Penn State at 133 lbs.  I don't see how that's possible seeing as Blaze competed at 150 lbs last season as a H.S.Senior.   That would more than a 10 percent drop in his body weight.

That was strictly for the team as he was a lock for the title. He wrestled a bunch at 134 for freestyle

He is our U20 61 KG guy.  Legit just won a world title.

So he is closer to 133lbs than 150lbs right now.  Much closer.

By season's start?  Let's say 684.5?  The guy who knows lifts in me wants to say under.  The guy who knows he is 30lbs heavier and considerably more powerful just because of that wants to say over.

If AJ is not pulling 705 by the time he (finally) graduates, that will be a bigger disappointment than him never winning another title.

All jokes aside though, Braxton at 285 strikes some interest in me.  After so much high school hype, he has not really panned out at the college level.  I feel like this is the "make it or break it" season for him now.

Tagen Jamison and Cael Hughes potentially up a weight

Agreed. Both were too big for their weights last year. But both have great competition at their new weight. It's possible both OR neither are the starter.

Ah, yes, a kid who walks around at 138lbs cannot possibly wrestle at 133 for Penn State.

he weighed in at 63.9kg (140.58) for trials at 65kg (143) and said in an interview he ate breakfast before weigh ins so I would guess at most he is waking up at 140lbs right now walking around.

Who is beating Focus this year? Kueter will barely be getting back into form by March rather than peaking. Mirasola is unlikely since he can't win by pushouts in folk and is very unlikely to get through Focus's stingy defense, Trumble has gone down since his Final X breakthrough, he will ride Feldman like a mule, and Bastida isn't the same he's got too many miles.

No one likes this outcome but it feels inevitable unless Kueter and/or Mirasola takes a huge leap. Feldman was progressing very well but seemed to have been figured out by the end of last season and I just can't see him finishing his shots. You think Focus did a good job of riding everyone at 197 NCAAs? He's going to look ridiculous on a full feed.
