3. Sinclair
4. Ferrari
5. Mantanona
6. BBerge
7. Fishback
8.(Nitenbach, Conway, Rogers, Soldano, Aaron Stewart, Harvey Ludington, Cochran)

yeah... even if you say spots 6-8 are open... there are some really good wrestlers in this weight class that he would need to beat out!
Berge was terrible last year, Conway graduated. Soldano graduated. Ludington is at 197. Stewart is no where near ready. he finished like #12 in hs this year. he wont even start.

LOL... tomato / tomAto
They no longer have AJ and agreed on Ziola... i forgot about him
Nebreska has a couple of really good freshmen (RS and otherwise)
The distinction is important because they weren’t going to kick out one senior and bring in another one to potentially wrestle that weight

It doesnt change the point... tough weight class
1. Maxx 2. Rocco 3. Sinclair 4. Ferrari 5. Mantanona 6. Berge (was 25-7 in 2024 and placed 4th. He was 27-7 last year) 7. Fishback

that is still a lot people competing for a low AA spot.
Lucas... will have his work cut out to AA at 184.... regardless of who it is that is competing for spots 6-8

Why wouldn't Facundo compete against Norman at 174? Norman is good, but doesn't seem like a foregone conclusion that he would beat out Facundo at 174. Plus, Facundo appears best suited at 174, where he wrestled in 2025-26.
Sounds like he feels he was small for 174 and went 174 so the team would be better and now wants to be his more natural weight

AJ Ferrari supposedly has no interested suitors as he’s asking for 500K.

I have no idea on economics but can’t see him being worth much to any school other than using the scholarship.

if Melvin pulls a Jax and VA Tech got AJ maybe that could be interesting though

AJ should be paying his own tuition and expenses- not sure why he thinks he has any market value. I guess we will (maybe) find out.

I think the 500K is just a few dozen extra woodscrews in the coffin. Nobody wants to have to deal with his "ME" bullcrap.
