Smith, KOT, and Askren have said that this was the reason he went 165 as a true frosh. Had Mocco not opted to also go up to 174 KOT would have done a redshirt as a true frosh or had to have gone 174, because he was not going to push his (best) friend up a weight when he didn't want to go. I want KOT to go 174 this season, FWIW, with Mocco going back down. I want to see him take out another Natty Champ.

If Lewis does go 184, what does that do for the VTech lineup? It puts Fisher out a season, unless he goes up and takes the spot from Smith AND Stewart (possible, but I don't know about that...). If this happens I would be all for Ulrey at 157, Andonian at 165, and Brady at 174 - or whoever wins it at 174 (Fisher drops?). Honestly I would just be for Andonian going 165 either way. I want to see him throw his hat in the ring at 74 KG and I think him going 165 helps him get used to the weight better before hand. Doesn't happen, probably, but I would like it to. Before I was all for Lewis going 165 again because he is massive at 174, but I also understood that him going 184 would still mean him taking 86 KG, rather than 74 KG, as a serious option.

I hope he does and gives 86 KG a go just after the season. With Hidlay and Brooks moving up, it does clear the way for him. Starocci is clearly the best 174lber or 184lber in the country at this point. Yes I would take him over PK even if he were to bump from 174 to wrestle him in a dual. I can call him Stalrocci all I want... his method is the most effective we have seen under the specific rules for that season at 174lbs we have seen since... probably ever. For those curious 174 has only existed in 1932, 1948, and from 1999 until present day. Curious bit of information. Glen Brand was the 1948 174lb champion and was the last Brand to win a title until Tom and Terry changed their last name to Brands and went and decided change their name because there was actually two of them, which should be plural.

I took so long reading through it and seeing so damn much wrong with it still. I see what you did there, though...

I don't think it is the question. The question is does he take out Hoffman or does Hoffman hit the back 40 a year early.

By all means, please oblige.

I also don't know about Amos at HWT. I believe he should ORS for two reasons: Health and Greco. It will allow him to grow into 97 KG for Greco to settle around 230 or so and it will allow him to heal up. Come college season he might be small, still, but his frame is considerably larger than Snyder's was - so I do not think he will be that small.

I think Zargo will qualify, but 0-2 is likely. I think you are correct on Model. So make that a cap of four qualifiers with only two placing.

Don't tempt me.

I see nominally five qualifiers and two placers. Hamiti and Amos are the two placers. Hamiti as a 'should be' 3rd is highly inaccurate. He is 0-3 against Amine, 0-2 against Griffith, 0-1 against O'Toole, and 0-1 against Carr. If you are going to say 'should be' then 4th is the highest that he 'should be' come NCAAs since one of Amine or Griffith are going up to 174. I believe Amos has a peak of mid-AA as well. I would welcome being surprised. I don't see how you see a Top 10 finish here with those expectations.

That wasn't true at the RTC cup. Bradley over Dhesi 5-2 Bradley over Wood 6-0 Bradley over Macchiavello 2-1

I stand corrected... It was 2-1. https://www.flowrestling.org/collections/tag/125-kg/video?playing=6834264

Seriously, I don't care if you're 93.1 KG, Cox. If Macchiavello can go up and contend with Bradley in a 1-0 or 1-1 loss... whatever it was... then you bet your ass that Cox can go up and contend there, too.

I ASKED THE SAME THING SO MANY TIMES IN THAT 125 PAGE THREAD!

You are going to confuse the shit out of Dr. @MPhillips, man.

I think your take is fairly good. What do you make of Davenport? Do you think he could make the lineup at either 149 or 157? I have the likelihood of pulling AA a different order. Otherwise: You are the expert. Byrd, Luffman, Connell, ZBraunagel, Ruth, DBraunagel, Pucino, and Cardani. Reasoning: Byrd is due. I like how Luffman look(s). Connell is at 184, which is clearing out of a lot of top contenders. ZBraun is at 197, which is where a lot of the gents are heading to Ruth is a Wildcard. I could see him going 0-2 but I also see flashes of his brother in him. DBraun is just... not sure. Seems HEW? Cardani could end up surprising some folks now that he is healthy. Pucino is better than the end of the season showed last year, I think. I also honestly think that if DBraunagel were to descend to 157 he could be a sleeper. He looked smaller than a lot of gents that I have considered 'average' 165lbers this last year. I know dropping weight and injuries often coincide, so that is the one reason I would say to not to.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Parris was injured, severely here. He then didn't get the needed surgery and it effected his next entire wrestling season. This last season what we saw from him was a healthy Parris. I expect him, providing he doesn't let the lace man get paid, to control that match with Gwiaz.

I mean... if you scoop up a Minnow in the palms of your hands, like a cup of water, then it is the biggest fish in that sea. That is all Minnow is trying to do here. Let him be the big fish.

Keuter =/= Kueter The first has a long 'O' sound and is NSFW and the other has a long 'E' sound and is a football recruit for Iowa.

Guys... There is another Lucas Byrd wrestling in Michigan Hihh School. It was a joke.

Where do you see tOSU then? Are thry the other Trophy team?

I thought the smoke in the air was Sparks at 165 and Carlson at 174? Also I think Joles has improved as much as anyone in the country the last two years and would surprise a lot of people if he could get a full, proper season back at 197. Lee used to have senior level aspirations. If they are Olympic I think it would be cool, even if less that 1% likely, to see him.at 165.

Eischens is a guy where I feel he went 174 strictly because Shane Griffith was at 165. It would be cool to see him at 165 somewhere. He has a rather lean build and isn't that large.

Where did Eischens end up going? Also, any chance we see Garvin up at 174 and Darracott at 165?
