Poster on 247: "I heard a tidbit this morning about Ono from someone who should know. Nothing is set yet with the NCAA, but they fully expect Ono to get 2 years of eligibility and that he will wrestle this year."

Vodka just filed a 22 page complaint, secured in a three inch binder regarding your tidbit!
That would be huge. Blaze 133, Ono 141 most likely?
I think he's thick but man Ono does not look like a 141 in pictures
If he gets 2 years, then I am on board with shirting Blaze, and going with the winner of Davis vs Nagao at 141.
At least that's what Pyles has for a plan.
Then again the prospect of Lilledahl, Blaze and Ono going as our kickoff murderers row, and seeing yet another scoring record, makes me....

I understand the idea of shirting Blaze but if Ono is good going 141 and Blaze wants to go you run them out there. This lineup breaks the scoring record again
125-LL
133-Blaze
141-Ono
149-SVN
157-Duke
165-Mesenbrink
174-Levi
184-Rocco
197-Barr
Heavy-Mirasola
Am I crazy to think there are 9 finalists in that lineup?

Probably. And they did set the scoring record. I definitely didn’t think there were 9 finalists though
Know idea what they weigh but both look pretty big for 157, will be surprised if they both can hold that weight for the full year.
On Flo they mentioned in coming wrestlers wanting to wrestle this year because of the new possible five year rule. Not sure how that works but it seems that Blaze and PJ could potentially go five years if they wrestle this year. Also....What about this season's wrestling tickets? Any word or did I miss the announcement.
This has been discussed a lot on the board, but amazingly not on this thread.
A lot of concern about Duke being unable to maintain 157 after this year -- from Willie and Duke's camp.
If he can't, then start him now and shirt him next year. That way, nobody sits out a year.**
** Unless Mesenbrink transfers to Missouri like a fan of the sport foresaw, lol.
Kasak has forced his way into the lineup two years in a row, I’d guess he isn’t interested in a red shirt this year. IfDuke starts it will be because he beat Kasak in a wrestle off. That would be impressive.
IDK what Kasak's thoughts are.
I do know what Nico thought -- he was adamantly against shirting as a returning 2x national finalist. Convincing him to shirt was not a snap of Cael's fingers, it was a process
These guys come to PSU because they trust Cael with their careers. Whatever Cael thinks is the right decision, will happen.
