No offense, but I will let Cael figure it out and just enjoy the team that he puts out there.Redshirts:
Blaze
Davis
Duke
Blaze and Duke need to focus on their top game specifically.
Given the incoming talent Davis should never start again, nothing against him
Needs:
D1 sized HWT
I would have said "nonsense" a few months back, nobody can handle Ono on his feet, but a pair of losses (each) by Duke and Blaze showed exactly how important it is in folkstyle. You know guys will "Iowa" every match against Ono and try to stall their way to tiebreakers.Everyone has Ono penciled in but we don’t know how good he’ll be from referee’s position. Everyone else has been wrestling it their entire lives.
Blaze and Duke will likely Olympic redshirt in 28Next year… probable line-up. Another championship but Okie State is knocking on the door with a very young and talented squad.
Hopefully they have a meet at the Beav in late Oct/early Nov.
125 - Lilledahl Jr.
133 - Ono Jr.
141 - Desmond Fr.
149 - Van Ness Sr. (Blaze in 28)
157 - Kasak Jr.
165 - Messenbrink Sr. (Duke in 28)
174 - Henckel Fr.
184 - Welch Jr.
197 - Barr Jr.
285 - Mirasola
Duke not very good in referee's position either.Everyone has Ono penciled in but we don’t know how good he’ll be from referee’s position. Everyone else has been wrestling it their entire lives.
Doubt you ever see Blaze at 149. In 28 you see James in the line up.Next year… probable line-up. Another championship but Okie State is knocking on the door with a very young and talented squad.
Hopefully they have a meet at the Beav in late Oct/early Nov.

With all those juniors it’s no secret why Cael is hitting the class of 27 hard and will hit the class after too - the latter class has 4 guys in the top 11 from our recruiting grounds and are sprinkled amongst need weights. Hint, Diceman’s spreadsheet lists all 4 prominently and adds a 5th from a little further away from our close in recruiting area.Next year… probable line-up. Another championship but Okie State is knocking on the door with a very young and talented squad.

I suspect that Marcu will follow his brother growth pattern and. get to 149I don’t think Blaze jumps all the way up to 149.
We will see. I don’t see it. He’s a thin 133. Jumping two weight classes is a lot.I suspect that Marcu will follow his brother growth pattern and. get to 149
I see the same thing; he's long with broad shoulders. But, I don't think 149 is happening in '28.I suspect that Marcu will follow his brother growth pattern and. get to 149
Presumably this why he has been in the room so long. Ono is elite and if I were a betting man (I’m not), I’d say his top and bottom game will be just fine. That said, mat wrestling is not gonna be where he exerts his dominance.Everyone has Ono penciled in but we don’t know how good he’ll be from referee’s position. Everyone else has been wrestling it their entire lives.
