I don't see Mitch moving up to a non Olympic weight. He does not look like a big 165 and his gas tank bears that out. IMHO he stays at 165 and then wrestles 74kg for freestyle.

He seemed bored moving up would give him new guys to wrestle and a new challenge. He's just a freak his lung capacity is off the charts. Don't remember where I saw it but they tested his and it's ridiculous and in the 1%

I agree, but 174 is not an Olympic weight so for 2028 he would have to cut back to 162.8 or go up to 189. Neither seems like a good choice. IMHO he stays at 165 although he may be bored. I certainly don't see anyone beating him at 165 any time soon.

Are we sure Jayden James is okay with a grey shirt? I can see Taylor (and a number of other coaches) throwing a lot of money his way to transfer. Any chance he’s listening?

I am going to guess the coaches didn't randomly go to him this week and say by the way you're not going to school anymore.

Imagine it was floated as an idea a while back and they left it up to Jayden what he wanted. If he said I want to enroll and challenge for a spot, they'd say "let's do it" (especially with Mitch likely going 174 now)

This week was likely the decision deadline with Fall classes in session and there being late add/drop deadlines.

Our coaches have shown they are the best roster/ego managers in the game, I imagine they knew how to handle this situation.

He just wouldn't cut this year. Most d1 guys lose 6-8 lbs a practice he's not walking around at 165. Most guys walk around 180 or so who wrestle 74kg

It was absolutely decision time when he was overseas. Classes starting yesterday. If he was full time, he's on the clock. Part time, non participant, no clock.

There are Chicken Little posts, and then there is this one.

Whether or not he enrolls in classes is 100% his choice. If he doesn't enroll, then he's OK with it.
