Jimmy Cinnabon Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I’ve seen enough. He’s better than Davis even if he’s a 125 pounder wrestling 141.
D3 for LU Posted February 7 Posted February 7 C'mon jimminy... Dez isn't going to get a sniff @125 again. That subway car already left the station forEVAH! D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Booger Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Well... it's Jimmy doin' Jimmy things. (Ya knowwhatImean... )
flyingcement Posted February 7 Posted February 7 It's a shame because the best version of Desmond that could contend at 141 - is not the same version that was able to wrestle matches at 125 (extremely effetively, nonetheless...) during the same season. This would be like when Bartlett wrestled up at 149 that one season
Nak21 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 He’s winning matches up there at 141. They’re not pulling his shirt. But man is he undersized every match up there. Just overall frame (core/hips/thighs/ass, height, etc) everyone he’s wrestled up there is a lot bigger than him. Not sure what his future is…back to 125 or down to 133? Stay at 141 going forward and be undersized even when the body weight catches up. Embarrassment of riches at a lot of weights so it’ll get figured out.
TAC Posted February 7 Posted February 7 No, he is beating guys, but not top 10 guys. He needs a year. Davis has a good shot at being an AA again this year.

Nak21 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 22 hours ago, Lleynor said: Next year, I mean, about Blaze. I don’t know. He could, he has a RS. Slot Ono in at 133, 141 is Davis, Desmond, Nagao?, someone else?? PSU has an embarrassment of riches in several weight class ranges and can play around, and to try to maximize eligibility may have to play around and RS kids you never thought would be RSed. And next years team is likely lights out again, so 1 weight isn’t gonna likely matter to winning again in March 2027.
nhs67 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I think next season you have Lilledahl/Desmond man 125/133. Until Ono takes the mat, I won't believe he will go, regardless of weight. Blaze at 141. Davis at 149 (hahaha). "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

I do not think a SV win over Ragusin at this juncture makes me any more confident he AA's even if he does its probably in that 6-8 range at best which they do not need this year and is probably not worth pulling his shirt. Now there is an argument that he is going to lose a year next year anyhow so just let him go which I am on board with however I am not entirely confident he is better than Davis right now.

CHROMEBIRD Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I assume PSU's lineup will work itself out in the offseason when Braeden Davis severely injures himself microwaving a dozen eggs, or gets into a freak accident with a Roomba or something equally goofy and self-inflicted.

That’s hysterical. Mostly because it’s true. Any of those things could happen.

I don’t know what he’s listed as, but I never heard any talk of him NOT being back next year, so it kinda feels like it’s already a done deal?? When talking lineups this year to next all you’ve heard about all year is only Haines graduates. SVN injury year if I remember kinda happened right after the NWCA All-Star thing. He might’ve had a tournament before that, so like 2 events - 1 unofficial and maybe 3-4 matches again 1 unofficial and he was out for the year with I believe a knee injury requiring surgery. PSUs line up next year should be every bit as good, maybe better than this years.

While all you've said is more or less taken as par for the course, the guys can't technically be granted their medical redshirt(s) until they have actually exhausted their eligibility. Even so, we know they will get it. I am not sure why I thought he wouldn't be back. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

Hell, I wouldn't put 184/197 out of the question either with Mirasola waiting in the wings. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

He 100 percent will get a medical for that year.

With his RS being pulled, pretty sure Davis is the guy for the post-season. However, Desmond does have one more RS date left on his FR campaign. Be interesting to see if PSU uses that date this Friday against Mendes.
