he has somehow managed to become a tweener which is hilarious to say. I dont think he is athletic enough for 197 or to be competitive at the top of heavy now. ultimately the size advantage at 197 is probably his best bet. A carter vs Cass match makes me laugh to think about.

I watched one of his youtube videos when he wrestled in bulgaria and he was shedding a few lbs to make weight at what I assume was +2kg for 61kg so that boy is big.

@Husker_DuHeard you say Marcus blaze and his teammate Ben Davino then double back on cadet world team teammate... Was that a freudian or am I reading way too much into it??

I think that AB would beat snyder currently if he decided to go for 97kg. AB reminds me a lot of Cael not to the same extent as David but definitely similar. I do think AB is bigger than Cael was though, and given caels offense was largely based on moving his opponent I could see that being an issue with Snyder.

This is a 2025-2026 lineup but if tOSU gets Blaze their lineup would look something like 125: Kilkeary/McCrone 133: Davino/Blaze/Bouzakis 141: Blaze/Bouzakis/mendez 149: Mendez/Shaw 157: Bouzakis/Birden/Paddy 165: Bouzakis/Birden/Paddy 174: Welsh 184: Rogotzke 197: Geog 285: Feldman do we think this could beat PSU? I dont think they will be as good through and through but I think they could have 4-5 finalists (I'm outrageously high on blaze and almost as high on Davino)

I think people are saying this because the general consensus for a while seemed to be guys wrestled where they walked around at for them. You have to send out your best lineup which they obviously do, and it works for them but that is a result of cutting weight and I think that will continue as their room gets more and more occupied by multiple AA type guys at each weight.

If he somehow manages it will be on a super limited schedule which I think ultimately would hurt him.

mr fast twitch jr will occupy all those weights as well at 197

for sure! looking back as Gus mentioned I think It probably goes PK,Gunderson,Voelker or Gunderson,Pk,Voelker or maybe even Gunderson at heavy his red shirt year he wrestled up there.

selfishly I want PK to go up so we get him vs carter anyhow So im hoping we see gunderson,PK,Voelker. heavy is also their weakest weight by a decent margin.

Probably just an assumption because Pinto was entered at 79 but ended up going 86.

my guess is he thought he would get the weight off easier than he did or he was sick or something out of his control. He's not a particularly huge kid.

PK is huge I thought right after the season the thought was he would go 197 but the Gunderson had a great LCQ. Their best lineup would probably be voelker of gunderson up!

I think Facundo is still going to be better than ryder for the time being, both are great options but facundo looked like that dude at trials.

Northern Iowa is going to have a team next year 125: Trevor Anderson (Beat Camacho and was in a lot of matches 133: Julian Farber 141: Happel 149: Realbuto 157: Downey 165: Jack Thomson 174: Gunderson? 184: PK 197: Voelker 285: Jose Valdez could see this being a team with 9 NQ's and if gunderson can make 174 effectively maybe 5-6 aa's

when he was asked about football he seemed that he was still doing it but maybe not as all in. He mentioned they were returning 3 linebackers and that he hoped he would get some special teams time.

Aside from Radamacher I think we knew the caliber of everyone that made the u20 team. I will say I think Marcus Blaze is the best high school wrestler I have ever seen. Take that with a grain of salt because I was really young for the Stieber Dt era. Both Mantanona brothers thoroughly impressed me, and I am super excited to see them on the next level. If you have not gotten to watch the Lilledahl Forrest final, I would check it out that's some super high-level wrestling. Zack Ryder is really really good, and Gabe Arnold takes a step back from top 3 contention for me. The biggest surprises were at u23's for me. I think after the LCQ we were all aware of Gunerson but man did he just run through this tournament again. Wyatt Voelker had some really nice wins in both styles. Josh Saunders continues to be a much better freestyle guy. PK killed Ramirez they need to get him in the lineup. Endene looks like he was a great pickup for Wisconsin and appears to be able to go with D1 competition albeit it was probably the weakest weight. I was not familiar with Lucas stoddard but he teched nate taylor twice, so I am excited to watch him next year. I think Paniro will be fine at 157.

just that he certified at it I think.

this could be an over reaction to the series with Ryder but I think Angelo or PK may be better options at 174. If Gabe cannot generate offense I think he is clearly behind KOT,Hamiti,whoever PSU's guy is Welsh,devos.

truly think 10 medals is reasonable for this team.

gabe has almost no ability to get to legs they should have let him take some lumps this year so he knew he had to develop but I think he still thought he could win against the best on defense.

My dad roomed a door down from him for the semester Carlton was at Lock haven.

Haselrig has to be on there, I may slot gwiz in as well top 2 seems locked.

Franklin is a good recruiter and figured head, an absolutely terrible in game coach. I wonder how this affects him moving forward if he's endangering players.

I have been on record that Harutyunyan is my pick however, after seeing the ranking series entries and seeing that he went 61 I wonder about the weight cut which is the case for everyone at the weight aside from spencer in terms of the top guys. I am hopeful that gives him the slight edge I feel he needs.
