True but he claims Ensenada, Mexico as his hometown

I think there are a few different factors Cons: 1) The weather 2) The prominence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in its stead (and its association with UFC and MMA which is cool) 3) Lack of local history 4) The culture here is based on achieving status, public recognition and fame - which to me is the opposite of why someone would enjoy wrestling Pros: Lots of transplants here, so the culture is less stable and draws more on influences which are constantly changing. To me, Hollywood is the opposite mentality of a college wrestler in terms of what somsone expects in exchange for the personal sacrifices that they make, so I think it will be difficult to change, but there is enough new blood on a consistent basis out here that change seems possible.

best remaining at each weight with my uneducated guess for their destination following 125: Kurt McHenry - Virginia 133: Wyatt Henson - West Virginia 141: Cleveland Belton - Cal Poly 149: Mitch Moore - Wisconsin 157: Travis Mastrogiovanni - Rutgers 165: Cael Carlson - Maryland 174: Tyler Eischens - Lehigh 184: Will Feldkamp - Oklahoma State 197: Wyatt Miller - Kent State 285: Boone McDermott - Oregon State

Since they pinned each other this year, I went with Lee with the smallest margin of defeat

Delgarbino pinned Cassioppi and has been buried on the bench ever since, because Princeton didn't want to make other teams feel too badly

@MPhillips by my count, here were last year's heavies with homes in Ohio: Weight Instate Recruit Name Year Starter College 285 0 #111 Kohlhofer, Austin FR 0 Army 285 0 #103 Shephard, Logan FR 0 Bucknell 285 0 #138 Begue, Aeden St RSFR 1 LIU 285 0 #38 DelGarbino, Jack JR 0 Princeton 285 0 #61 Cover, Matthew JR 0 Princeton 285 1 #44 Bucknavich, Daniel St SO 1 Cleveland State 285 1 #127 Cover, Mason RSFR 0 Cleveland State 285 1 #222 Jaeckin, Justin SO 0 Cleveland State 285 0 #43 Spaulding, Jon RSSR 0 Edinboro 285 0 #121 Millin, Max SO 0 Edinboro 285 1 #100 Cover, Jacob St JR 1 Kent State 285 1 #226 Ucker, Riley FR 0 Kent State 285 1 #217 Padilla, Jacob St SO 1 Ohio 285 1 #109 Greer, Jordan SO 0 Ohio 285 1 #236 Harris, Drew RSFR 0 Ohio 285 0 #98 O'Malley, Seamus St JR 1 Stanford 285 0 #131 Huff, Thadd St FR 1 Bellarmine

Yep this is based on their self described hometown and state. I also have the information for high schools which tends to inflate PA and NJ further due to Wyoming Seminary and Blair

If we go by hometown that they themselves provide, Woods is from New Mexico and Pucino is probably next best. Even as a long time Hamiti Homer, I expect it to be Caliendo as the top 165 from that state going forward. Also probably replace Yahya with Gomez, though maybe not as @bnwtwg pointed out. I still think it's PA pretty handily

Kinda cool that the best Oklahoma guys seem to stay home at one of their two D1 options.

125: Reece Witcraft or Eli Griffin (Cal Bap) 133: Daton Fix 141: Carter Young 149: John Wiley 157: Kaden Gfeller 165: Wyatt Sheets 174: Dustin Plott 184: Tate Picklo (I bumped him up) 197: Luke Surber 285: Josh Heindselman

Watched him tonight finally. Found him funny without needing to be overly crass which is my preferred style of comedy

I was talking about the Heartland location and of course meant to say southeast corner

Los Angeles sucks I'll tell you that much

What about the southern corner of Wisconsin where AWA is from?

It's a valid question although from what i understand that is the plan for now. There have been some that have cut from 138 in HS to 133 in college like Mickey Phillippi. Takes a lot of discipline to keep up for so many years

Watch for Dario Lemus as a true freshman starter at 133

There was some talk about whether Lewis would move to 184. I'm not sure what that is based on though - fact or fiction?

Here is my Wisconsin prediction 125: Barnett - 7th/8th 133: Rivera 141: Lettini 149: Zargo - NQ 157: Mechler 165: Hamiti: 5th/6th 174: Maylor 184: Liegel - Fringe NQ 197: Tal-Shahar - Fringe NQ 285: Amos: NQ So that's two AAs, and somewhere between four and six national qualifiers as the roster currently stands.

Great assistant hire

Mesenbrink by far

Any relation to Trey Rogers of Hofstra (I realize it's a somewhat common surname)

I felt that Alirez was demonstrably better than all 141 lbers including Woods
