Quick question...is PSU's starting 197lber for next year currently on the roster or is that portal bound? Same goes with heavyweight (in two years)? I may be missing someone, but it seems like two weights where things could get thin pretty quick. Obviously Cael will find a way, but is there an obvious successor in either/both weight classes, either on the roster or already committed for 23 or 24?

Thanks so much for the great wrestling updates & nuggets!

I think next year depends on how serious Brooks is about the Olympics. Lots of folks assume he moves up to 197 like Bo did. I believe Bo was an undersized 197 lber but he was Bo so it didn't matter. As much I as everyone loves Aaron, he isn't Bo in folkstyle. That said, he could do it. Ball could go 184 or maybe the freshman Barr. Carter, Facundo and Haines could all move up and slot Gibson in 157.

I am more concerned about getting Howard healthy and finding a home for him. He and the freshman Davis could handle the lower two weights.
