Anything to do wth Cael Valencia being 86 KG for U23s? Montalvo and him swapping weights or are they both going up?

Lewan to 149. Franek to Michigan at 157.

Perhaps had the same said diva done just that - focused - he might be a bit further along.

Mind you, I do anticipate folks to see that the culture is different/changed and expect them to get a transfer or two in, which could be answers to 165...

Greetings All, Not particularly an OSU fan, however I think they have a very bright post-Focus era in store for them and the gents who were on the "FIRE SMITH BECAUSE FOCUS IS SO MUCH BETTER OF A PERSON" wagon are going to feel real dumb when the dust settles. I know big Mastro and VV, who were likely their future 149/157 guys for the next three seasons, are both gone. Insert Jordan Williams and Tagen Jamison there. They also have Cutter Sheets on the roster as well, so I do think they look rather good for the foreseeable. Mix in some redshirts and all that... Regardless this is what it looks like... - 23/24 - 125 - Troy Spratley (3), Reece Witcraft (1) 133 - Daton Fix (1), Cael Hughes (4) 141 - Sammy Alvarez (2) 149 - Tagen Jamison (4), Cutter Sheets (4) 157 - Jordan Williams (4), Cutter Sheets (4) 165 - Izzak Olejnik (1), 174 - Travis Wittlake (1) 184 - Kyle Haas (3), Brayden Thompson (4) 197 - Luke Surber (2) 285 - Konner Doucet (2), Christian Carroll (4) I think they could qualify at every weight with any of the gents listed. Fix is a contender for a NC and every other weight is a contender to AA, providing development doesn't hit a snag. - 24/25 - 125 - Troy Spratley (2), Beric Jordan (4) 133 - Carter Young (1), Cael Hughes (4) 141 - Carter Young (1), Sammy Alvarez (1) 149 - Tagen Jamison (3), Cutter Sheets (3) 157 - Jordan Williams (3), Cutter Sheets (3) 165 - Mirzo Khayitov (2) 174 - Dustin Plott (1) 184 - Brayden Thompson (4), Kyle Haas (2) 197 - Luke Surber (1) 285 - Christian Carroll (4), Konner Doucet (1) This is a lot of projection(s) here, as some kids grow and some do not. I thought the idea was for Jordan Williams to grow in to 157 before VV left, but he just didn't look to gain much(any) weight? If Khayitov (who has dreams of 74 KG for Uzbekistan, so 165lbs is likely is weight) doesn't come to fruition, I am not sure who would slide up to 165lbs. It would be idea if they could get Jamison, Sheets, and Williams all to progress along together to become AA contenders together. Could they spread through 149-165 or would 141-157 be more realistic and put Alvarez and/or Young out of the lineup(s)?

Yeah, to be fair I don't think @flyingcementput the list together himself, but I could be wrong. Not sure where he got it or why he had it in that impossible to copy/paste/quote formatting.

Bartlett's, too. It's the only thing keeping him from being the 133lb champ next season.

He has an Oly-shirt he can use as well.

Someone did Minny, see below... Discuss.

I think those three are all different tiers, even if it is a good set of gents to have. Figs is a contender, Kaylor should contend for AA honors, and Lajoie should qualify and win up to two or three matches, depending on the draw (he could also not win any). Rather I think if we are 'tiering' the P12 at 125 it looks something like this, but please don't hang on these as the typical 'tier' law I put out doesn't apply... T1 - Figs T2 - Kaylor T3 - Lajoie, Lorenzo, Reno, Flores It should be a dandy. Seeing that makes me think Lajoie is just as likely to not qualify as he is to qualify. If P12 gets 3 allocations at 125, like 2022-2023, then he has a ~25% chance to qualify and will need to beat two guys to qualify.

Missing Griffith to Michigan...?

I like it. I want him to succeed and even if he isn't going (home) to a Michigan school, he is going back home to the coach that recruited him for his final season. I'll sign off and approve that one 10/10 times. So how about him getting in a Grad Program in Stanford? Kid has some serious brains, eh? He going for a Doctorate?

Isn't Cannon going to be a 141lber now? Wouldn't that be so funny for Kinner to finish at 157 when he was so comically tiny compared to the last time he wrestled there. Kinner went 5-4 at 133 then 13-4 at 157. He wrestled Austin Assad at 133, who was bumping up from 125 for Michigan that season and looked comically small doing so. Later in the season he wrestled Peyton Robb at 157 who was down from 165 for Nebraska that season and looked pretty jacked. Hell, he beat Brady Berge (Penn State) at 157 after losing to Travis Piotrowski (Illinois) at 133.

I believe Zahid Valencia also has the same saying, right...? “Powder snow skiing is not fun. It’s life, fully lived, life lived in a blaze of reality.”

This checks out.

That's pretty cool.

Or his mom.

His wife is also one of the ones being detained, if I am reading correctly. She is also a wrestler.

He were Minnow's source fla few times...

The two on scholly should be gone after next season, when he'll be on the lookout again.

I am not really a fan of the tweeners dropping. I want to see him at 65 KG. That said, he has gone on record many times saying 57 KG for 2024 was the goal then MMA.

It is(was). I hope he succeeds and beats Howard out, honestly. The talent is there. He is probably one of the shortest 125lbers in D1.

Nvm, @bnwtwg. I had to google like 12 words but I think I got it. You want Chittum to transfer?

That hurt my brain to read. In fact, I am not sure I even made it all the way through it.

It is Swafford's brother. Insert Black'N'Gold 'HE SAID HE WOULD FOR GRIFFITH' comment that is surprisingly relevant. Oh, good shit. Curious who's styoe translates better? I think 133 has heavier favorites in Arujau and Fix. 141 has Woods. If I had the choice I would eat, be happy, and go 141.
