That document is a secret plan for world domination. Cael was smirking when he asked Pyles if Pyles had a plan. The reason Cael was smirking was that Cael knew that he himself had a plan!
The speculation I've seen on there is that it is actually better to wrestle PJ at 157 this year and RS Kasak and then bring Kasak back to 157 and RS PJ in 27 because PJ may not be able to make 157 any more after this year and would be able to slide in at 165 when Mitch leaves after 27. I don't know, of course, but if that is true then it makes sense.
That is the thought. Another consideration never given enough thought (in my opinion) is less than 2 years ago Kasak was a 141 pounder filling in at 149 and by March of last year he looked like a large 157 pounder. There might be very little chance Kasak has many more successful 157 weigh-ins available to him either.
If the NCAA changes the rules as rumored (5 total years for college with no more redshirts) then it behooves all teams to just wrestle your best lineup regardless of class…
i have seen that also and that makes sense but isnt Jayden James projected at 165? If Kasak goes this year and we have PJ for the next 4 years at 157 (provided he doesnt grow too much)... this gives us 2 years of Kasak at 165 and James sliding into that spot after a redshirt year??? of course IDK ... just looking at the height and frame... I could see PJ moving up more than KASAK.... you are probably correct?????
except they handout medical redshirts like a candy at a parade!
James is going 165 this year. We'll see if he can still make 165 in college, but it doesn't seem likely.
Yep, after talking to his HS coach back when he committed, I agree with ya. He just seems to keep growing every year and the end does not look to be in sight yet.James is going 165 this year. We'll see if he can still make 165 in college, but it doesn't seem likely.
As we discuss the 157-165 logjam, remember that bumping guys up to 174 creates another logjam with Henckel ready to succeed Levi.
With 5 year eligibility looking like it could happen freshman don't want to RS
agreed ... you never know how injuries play out also... but i think we are looking at an NCAA championship if we start Duke or Kasak. So... kicking the can down the road. does redshirting help us to secure more with PJ???
No if he redshirts and they go straight 5 he would only have 4 unless they made a special rule

If that were true, I wouldn’t see the point of completing his certification while weighing under 197.
Askren said it on FRL
said he can't make 184 and he was shocked by it. 2 months ago I was told he would challenge Rocco so it caught me off guard as well
I like Ono/Blaze at 133/141 if only because Blaze is a lot taller and seems like he is still adding muscle. No sense starving the kid. I could see Henckel at 197 for his last two years.
Don’t know that I agree on Henckel. He’s almost 20 already and has been 79KG for two straight years. Think he’s capped at 184.
What an embarrassment of riches. And that don't event take into account anybody who portals in. And we have some every year... Rocco and Ono, Mitch, Truax, Maxx, Nagao....... It is a real possibility that we add a portal guy every year also!. I cant imagine where they would fit but I couldnt imagine where Rocco or Ono would fit either!
