Agreed. Not the most reliable sources.
Ohiowrestling.net is a good, old school forum with reliable posters, most of which use their real names. It's been pretty quiet on the Sammy front over there though but most of the time it's information posted that isn't just speculation or hearsay.
Pat Minnow just tweeted something very interesting. Apparently Siebrecht, Cass, Brands, Assad suspended for the entire season due to gambling allegations.
Sasso will be at 157. At least to start the season.
Could Shapiro be the first true-freshman preseason #1? I don't think the rankers would be quite THAT bold.
Maybe something like: SVN, Parco, Mauller, SHAPIRO?
I'll just name my top 3 at this point:
1)Brooks
2)Star
3)O'Toole
Brooks #1 because I think he gets more bonus point victories than Starocci and 184 has been a bit tougher overall than 174.
I feel comfortable with O'Toole at #3 at this point; with more bonus point wins at such a tough weight class he could move up.
I know Wisconsin has always been a hotbed for OL and many have had success in the NFL. To me, Johnson looks more like a DT as of right now and I don't think Wisconsin is going to be a great football team this season. Perhaps he will shift his primary focus to wrestling in due time. Who knows, money talks and he could become an elite D-1 football athlete.
Really excited to see Davino for Ohio State. Fingers crossed they can also land Marcus Blaze.
I also think 160 lb Senior Ethan Birden will be a guy that makes some waves when he cracks the starting lineup.
