I think yall need to get used to the backups getting more run with DT. Thats all most of this is.

Definitely some method to the madness, or else we’d also see Thompson, Travis etc. Assuming we’re trying to build confidence w Ryder. I would’ve had the same assumption for Swid but if that were the case, I’d have guessed he would have wrestled against AF. I’m sure it’s some combination of seeing what you have + keeping guys engaged + load management + everything else I’m too dumb to consider 😂

Well ya I don’t think he is just picking names out the hat lol but I think we see it more and it doesn’t mean anyone is in the dog house or hurt etc.

Agreed. Merrill is looking better all the time. When he has high energy and pace, he is a factor at this weight.
Competition level lower this weekend. Merrill is going to find it difficult to separate score against a tall lanky or beast of a brute top 15 wrestler. He faced both at NDI lost to the brute which will always be difficult if said wrestler refuses to shoot.

Any chance Robideau could go 49 and Routledge 57? I know John would find a way that doesn't mean it's a good way. I do trust the DT plan but trip Rs could be a fun lineup dont ya think? 🤔

He was 3-1 at NDI and barely lost to a guy that looks pretty good now.

Hes also beaten two other Top 25 guys…and seems to be finding a little groove.

I guess that’s possible…

Robidoo is doing well, not sure I’d upset that but I also don’t know how easy that cut would be?

I do think Routledge needs to be in the lineup at least next year.

Injuries and performance aside. I expect our March lineup to be…
25-Troy
33-ronnie
41-Vega
49-Tagen
57-Robidoo
65-Dee
74-Facundo
84-Ryder
97-Merrill
285-Doucet

Obviously, there are unknowns right now. But I see 10 champs there!

The crazy thing is we have the wrestlers for 12 champs if we can just squeeze em all into the lineup. ;)

Highly doubt Landon certs said he could go 149 this year. And i highly doubt we ever see that. He will be a 165 before he's a 149

I agree with Reaper, anyone foolish enough to mess with Robideau should be fired. Jamison can take over 149 and leave Robideau at 157 where he has excelled.

Next year Dee Redshirts 🤔 (Routledge wrestles 65). Following year Facundo finished so Dee up to 74 as Haines is gone 🤷‍♂️

Based on the assumption PJ Duke and MM stay where they are this year.

Haines is gone after this year. Duke likely to be 165 after this season. He redshirts next year if MM doesn't move up imo
