I think it shakes out like this:
125: Robbie Howard / Cael Nasdeo (RS)
133: Cannon or Nagao / Braeden Davis (RS)
141: Beau Bartlett / Tyler Kasak (RS)
149: Shayne Van Ness
157: Levi Haines
165: Mitchell Mesenbrink
174: Alex Facundo / Carter Starocci (ORS) / Josh Barr (RS)
184: Bernie Truax
197: Aaron Brooks
285: Greg Kerkvliet
Being on bottom is usually the least enjoyable spot - catching cross faces, getting bow leg turked...
I think it is basically saying shit or get off the pot to the top guy. If you can't turn him, you've earned nothing. I like that
My guess is:
1) This was premeditated and based on something that happened between them outside of wrestling (maybe a girl?)
Or...
2) this guy is mentally unstable and needs help
Guys leaving include Blockhus (IA), Spratley (NY), Kleuver (WI). Maybe they can offer Nagao a full out of state scholarship if he was otherwise unable to obtain that and get something going on the NIL front to bolster the offer
I'm really taken aback by how significant some of these changes are. I think they are almost all very good. But I am just surprised that so much progress is being attempted all at once. Not opposed to it - just didn't expect it.
