Did something happen to Davis that I'm not aware of yet? I have to assume if PSU put anyone other than Davis at this weight that Cael believes they can be a very high AA. PSU wrestling is so spoiled a guy like Davis is just treated as a throw away. I think he can be top 5 at 141 next year.
Two less utilized approaches but still very useful are "some of the time" and "not often". Take a peek!
Both under-rated. I am also a fan of "ish", " more or less", and "if you squint".
Not to be a butthead, but it is the need to pretend parity exists that mostly explains the multi-million dollar loss associated with women's basketball.
In either event it is certainly not a forgone conclusion that if Ono went 133 and Blaze took a redshirt that 141 is some giant whole. Davis could have better lungs with an entire year and I expect he would also be an improved wrestler by next year as most PSU guys seem to improve as the career advances (unlike some other schools we know of). I think Davis is a pretty darn good wrestler but maybe that is just me.
the NCAA has only had a women's BB championship since 1982, so far less than the 92 years it's staged a wrestling championship.
In the relatively short time (compared to wrestling) that the NCAA has conducted a women's BB championship, 17 different schools have been crowned champion. The longest streak of consecutive championships is 4, which UCONN attained 1 time.
Just a little context for the comparison.
A lot of folks expect him to shirt this year and then succeed Van Ness at 149 in 2028.
Otherwise the 2028 options for 149 have to be either (1) Blaze can move up; (2) Herring or Perry or Weiss or Hayden show significant progress this year, including some of them moving up to 149; (3) Mangano is ready as a true FR; or (4) we import someone.
This is pretty cool. Charts showing NCAA point scoring by state. Play the “Racing Bar” and watch Pennsylvania start to dominate

Spoiler alert for Ranger Dan: PA took the lead in 1982 and never relinquished it.
Also recommend looking at the table. PA's best year was 304.5 pts. The best year by any other state was Ohio getting 201.5 pts -- a full Minnesota behind PA.
sad, but probably the best for his long-term health
A little D3 school 30 min drive from State College. Situated well for some interactions with the NLWC if such an arrangement has value.
Worth a read with a paywall remover.
I'll never forget listening to college football scores, in the car, on the way home from a PSU football game. Had to be around 1979, and the guy pronounced Juniata as 'Juan Nita' . We still laugh about it to this day!
Good news for wrestling though!
