I wish we could get similar previews from the team experts on here for all the B1G teams!!! Love it.

ASU’s Larkin 149

Barring something unknown like Clark going up to 149, I would be shocked to see Coates try and drop to 141 and even then I doubt he could make it. He wrestled 149 unattached at multiple events last year and looked big.

I have no idea what you are talking about with regard to his family 'trying to be Bo" or what shit shows you are referencing. Nor do I believe that any top teams wouldn't want them in their program--or that you would have cause to know. Kid works his tail off, leads a clean life and wrestles like a madman. All you have given are just vague references and no facts.

125 Lilledahl (tough call with Figueroa--when in doubt pick PSU) 133 Crookham 141 Mendez 149 Henson 157 Shapiro 165 Mesenbrink 174 Haines (tough call with O'Toole--when in doubt pick PSU) 184 Keck 197 Cardenas HWT Kerkvliet

I have not heard that Roberts is injured? Is he out for the year?

Michigan gets Honorable Mention.

8 matches to 2 for OSU. I will give Belton 1 win for Sooners. 2 tossup matches at 149 and 197 so I figure a split. The rest is all Cowboys.

Same issue but Safari not Chrome....

And what about Block? 141 is a no-go?

I guess you don’t think Parco is gonna be the 149???

So schools are gonna cut ties with their equipment/apparel providers because a recruit eliminated them from his list? You can't be serious with that take. smh I guess I have to ask--why do you consider narrowing down his wish list to be disrespecting teams? It goes both ways you know--coaches way more heartless, even cruel if you ask me, to the wrestlers. It ain't high school,,,it's D1 wrestling and everyone involved pretty much knows it's ruthless. I mean RUTHLESS. I don't think schools are so thin-skinned that they are feeling disrespected by getting crossed off some kids list on social media. My guess--they will get over it

I agree with everything you said.

He was enormous at 141. He probably is 149 this year, but if Jesse is there--he will probably look to 157 and he has the size to do it. He was just 70 kg for U23. And he was still very lean and big I thought. But I think Jesse stays down at 141.

Cannon.

Maybe true for most—but honestly I really don’t want to see them in action. I am bored of the media-hungry “heels” that just develop their shtick for attention, clicks and in many cases money. Whether it’s Jake Paul or Brian Bosworth or whoever, it’s a tired and unoriginal act. And I hate seeing the sport get used for that type of exposure and narcissism all in the name of individual fame and capitalism. It is going to take us down the road of MMA and boxing. Corrupted sports that use up the majority of its participants in a bad way. This new NCAA Settlement is already potentially gonna push things farther that direction. And we won’t be left with a sport featuring great student athletes that go on a contribute great things to society. We will be watching a handful of kids trying to week out a few bucks in a micro-sport while the rest of the world passes them by.

I hope he does come to the Big Ten. My money will be on Starocci.

Pretty sure that is the plan for Echemendia. Maybe a cyclone fan on this board can opine. Lachlan McNeil is moving up too. As far as Alirez—he made a post after the Mendez thing that was vague but made it sound like he would get his revenge when it counts…so maybe he stays at 141???

There is crazy parity and depth at 149 next year. Whalen is very good and should be a contender for AA—and at 149 that means you have a shot to win it. He is very big for 149 though so weight management will be an issue. I remember him in the finals at Fargo in high school and watched him win at Midlands this past season. If I was guessing he is lower tier AA threat or R12 guy—but at this crazy weight I am not surprised if he beats anyone.

NW makes sense at 133 for Cannon. NW really needs help there. They should have Talshahar and Vandevere back from injury at 141. I hope Amine can come back strong—very tough dude—but he looked cooked in the matches I watched him last year. Wrestling hasn’t been too kind to these older dudes trying to squeeze out another year—his heart better be in it all the way.

Kasak at 165?

This didn’t age well….

Reading is a skill—apparently I am lacking today

Gibson redshirts.

No Cetta?
