I was saying all 197 pounders that bump.  Not just successfull ones

If you stink at 197, you will probably stink at 285. That is not rocket surgery.

But wasnt the logic 285 is easier so I guess if you stink at 197 maybe you'll be average at 285......

I assume with McCrone going in the portal that Bouzakis has decided to give 125 another go or is still wait and see?

Cannon will have to get on the Levi Haines diet when he goes from 57 - 74...

Bouzakis wrestles 25 or he doesn't wrestle.

If he plans to go 174 they need to get him with Mickey Marotti immediately…

If Bouzakis was to shop himself at 125 would he get the bigger bag? or too risky? He did have impact in setting the tone in 3-4 duals.

Bouzakis has said he’s not going 125 so…he might be forced out to Pitt with his brother

 Cannon is way to small for 174. He wasnt even that big at 157

I don't agree.

The talk on these boards, and pretty much everywhere else, was that it was surprising that he went 157lbs this year and not 165lbs.

When did he say that?  Do you have a link to the interview?

That makes me think 141 or he is out.  Hell maybe Davino to 141 is a thing

That's what we've heard...He'll have to beat Davino. He can't wrestle 41.

Cannon struggled with 57. Levi did it.

confirmed w/ tOSU that Cannon is going 57 again.

(I had him at 165 in Crystal Ball)

Stiles won't be at 149 any longer though

(did get that one right in CB)

  • Wrestle +1 4
  • Bob +1 2

Is Cannon at 157 purposefully to avoid Monster Mitch?

In regards to West Virginia:  Anyone chance they chase a potential 157lber and Watters goes up (again)?

Catrabone 65, the Michigan boys love to eat

You think Cam could contend at 165? My initial thought was to bump Shapiro if he came on, for a few reasons; he’s a known commodity and likely to perform similar to past seasons even up a weight class, and I don’t think Catrabone looked impressively large at 157 last season, so I’d assume him to be a smaller 165 pounder, and I think that would pose issues for him, despite his Ben Askren-esque style. Pure guesswork on my end tho

Cannon struggled with 57. Levi did it.

Levi struggled to make 157 as soph.   He barely had the energy to finish early season matches.  He looked like Bouzakis did in some of his 125 matches.  Levi's jump wasn't difficult.  I'm not sure if it is the same for Cannon.

Or add a 220 class and change 285 back to heavyweight.   A wrestler might think twice about bumping to heavyweight if Chris Taylor was waiting for him - or even someone with the strength and size of a major college / NFL lineman.

Here’s one: Michael Gasper from Little Rock.  As a 197 in 2024, he lost to a guy who didn’t even place in D2.  This season as a heavyweight he had wins over multiple previous D1 national qualifiers and was a 1-0 loss to Trevor Tinker away from qualifying himself.

I hear ya brother.  Buckeyes confirmed and Willie shared that he's gonna go back down to 57. Ryan mentioned last summer that Cannon had a really tough cut...

He was off for 4-5 weeks before B1G's and had surgery.
